  1. Also, I have not heard anyone say thank you.
  2. As a retired military officer, I'd much rather leave the enemy with a sense of dread and a question of "how the fuck did they do that?" than get praise in the papers. When the press asked FDR where the bombers in Doolittle raid launched from, he simply said "our new base in Shangri-La." OPSEC continues even after the mission is complete, meathead (Hegseth).
  3. Got me a movie, I want you to know Slicing up eyeballs, I want you to know Girlie so groovy, I want you to know
  4. Cautionary Tales podcast had a "Jaws at 50" episode last week. It goes into the dynamic between Shaw and Dreyfuss quite a bit. There is a theory that Shaw was going really method to generate actual tension between the two so that it would come through in the performances. Once they filmed the Indianapolis story scene, Shaw's antagonism of Dreyfuss stopped completely.
  5. The fuck is wrong with people?
  6. Eh... there's a lot of hindsight factored into this point of view. There's a lot to be said for being able to hire a personal trainer and manage nutrition very early in one's career to accelerate development and maximize earning potential. Tatis got all those benefits at someone else's expense. He sold equity in his potential earnings to an investor. If he gets injured or flames out early in his career, that investor has to eat the loss. He signs a $340M deal and everybody wins. I'm a Tatis Jr fan, but I have very little sympathy for him here. He has an AAV of around $24M. Between his agent and BLA, they probably take around $2M each, leaving him with around $20M before taxes per year for the next ten years. Cry me a river.
  7. Oh, so then there's no real purpose in addressing it... unless you want performative action to stoke your antivax base.
  8. I was trying to subtly comment that the entire "FSM" construct is an exercise in perceived intellectual superiority and judgment of others' beliefs.
  9. Marihuana was the primary spelling until a concerted effort in the early 20th century to change the spelling to make it seem more "ethnic" and undesirable within God-fearing 'Murican culture.
  10. Eh... O'Dowd got to to play his gotcha card, but like so many "gotchas" it's a surface-level critique that ignores nuance and important facts. It ignores the "why" question. Musk's 2019 statement alludes to the fact that Waymo's solution will not work outside of a geo-fenced area. Their system will only work in meticulously mapped areas. Re: the current statement - Tesla's robotaxi will use geo-fencing for two purposes: Keep vehicles inside of approved test area. Avoid intersections and interchanges that are more likely to cause issues with the system. The important question and distinction is why each of these systems use geo-fencing. Waymo uses it because their system literally cannot work outside of the geo-fenced areas. Tesla is using it to limit the operation of the vehicles to an approved test region and to maximize the system's opportunity for success within the test region.
  11. FUcK yOuR PrONoUns!
  12. Devers did by being a shitty defender.
  13. Tip of the cap. That's a nice skin to have on the wall. A no-no in Omaha.
  14. They were never going to pay all three. They just chose the wrong one.
  15. All of their walk-offs will be at Daikin.
  16. I was told that 3 games over was the high-water mark for this .500 team.
  17. Did not have a JJ Matijevic mention on the bingo card today.
  18. Pleasantly surprised Doobie came through. Thought for sure that was a wasted inning when Cam didn’t move the runner.
