  1. Lol welp. That is how you finish.
  2. Why people care about early mid-season NSD commitments recruiting rankings is beyond me. Wake me up in the fall winter spring Meat Judging Season.
  3. I think Kristen is a badass, looks amazing and is super smart. She lacks polish, but she brings more to the judge's table than Padma, and I think she will improve with the hosting duties.
  4. Devastating. Hopefully this changes some parents' minds.
  5. Agree that Gallagher was very effective before CJ came in and he moved back. He will be a huge asset as we need to rest guys and he can play any of the four outside positions. I like having Wolff on the team, he will have some really good performances, but I keep hoping he'll take the next step, and I am not sure if it's coming. His demeanor can be problematic as well. When he is on, he has outstanding awareness of situation and space. He created a few goals/chances last year with some elite movement and really nice skill. He just isn't in the same class as the 10/8's on the top teams in this league.
  6. I was pretty low in the supporters section, so my view of the field was not great. But this looks like our best defense we have had since Gabrielsen in '22, and we could end up with one of the best defenses in the league. KC is also shit, so I should probably hold off on that kind of talk. Ilie is a massive upgrade, as we dominated the midfield for the full 90. We need to take our shots. I don't think Owen and Dani are good enough to control and create in this horseshoe offense. And our service still sucks ass, so we need crosses and shots in volume. We have a legit target man in Vasquez and two extremely quick wingers, let's fucking send the ball long and risk losing it in their third. We were winning it back from KC in the MF consistently, but Owen and Dani are vulnerable in possession and will give the ball away in bad spots. We will need Biro and Dessler to make accurate crosses in that offense. Obrian and Bukari are best in transition imo. Overall, this team looks a lot better and while we may not have an offensive player the caliber of Seba, '22 Seba was not going to suit up for this team again. Vasquez is going to be fun to watch. I would bet he will have a brace soon. Great first game, offensive chemistry will take time, so I am hopeful we will be scoring a lot by mid season.
  7. I enjoy working out, jogging, biking, swimming...but holy shit, I cannot make myself stretch, it's really bad. I'm probably going to have to severely injure myself to find the motivation to force myself to stretch. There is a StretchLab 10ish minutes from me, I need to check that out.
  8. At times, I think one of the scant few remaining scenarios that result in our country returning to decency within the next two decades hinges on this particular supervillain's mental breakdown being spectacular enough to cause an internal shadow battle between a large portion of the psychotic murderous fraternity of insatiable zealots that somehow assembled into the death regime that is now pulling the strings. If Elon just up and died, that might actually remove the biggest wildcard in the deck.
  9. I still think about the scene when the wife is trying not to talk shit about coworkers, but then she discovers the girl on the spectrum who will inadvertently savage someone without realizing it. Or something like that, I need to rewatch it, I just remember laughing so hard at that for some reason.
  10. The dark haired girl with the tables from this sketch (and others) kills me, she seems legitimately unhinged in all her scenes.
  11. I recommend $DerkaDollars coin for a beginner portfolio.
  12. I love ITYSL, I love Rudd, I love I Love You Man... I am a sicko. This is for me.
  13. Yeah it's a bizarre, stupid, sometimes fascinating social experiment putting these morons in situations where they have to decide between different sums of money now and screwing over their peers and a possibility of more money later. The ones that honor an unofficial contract to be fair and get everyone through to the end always end up looking dumb when one player does a little risk-reward analysis and takes the money. We keep remarking on how obvious it is that they had no idea how to make a reality show. We barely know the contestants and don't care at all who wins, it's just interesting enough seeing them screw each other over or sometimes illogically make some altruistic choice and end up with nothing.
  14. Let's get that media circus thread fired up for the night crew!
  15. I had never heard of this show, watched the first episode last night. It's not hilarious, but I thought it was engaging and the Palestinians in Houston is fresh and very interesting.
  16. Jimbo famously denied that they used NIL at all to land that class after Saban baited him with his comments about their payroll.
  17. He's the most irresponsible adult person I've probably ever seen, and there is currently nobody checking him except maybe Stephen Miller who is just as vindictive and hateful, if not more, and wants to fucking punish people but is more strategic /disciplined about it. We're all fucked.
  18. I have an old Peavey Bandit, and I still want one of these. Just so I can have stacked Bandits in my chain.
  19. Finding and fixing the leaks, holy shit, that's great. He's draining the swamp, people, now you want him to fix the swamp's plumbing?
  20. Is that $8 coffee at Starbucks about to cost $10?
  21. Nah, Mr Fingerbottom most definitely has the inside scoop on this one.
  22. Same. But the bullet and let my wife get a new car a year early. She's a badass and deserves it.
  23. I actually looked this up, and to my astonishment, the production cost is in the ~100MM range, but it seems to be Mr Beast's investment. I don't know how that's possible, but it is a fascinatingly stupid experiment.
  24. ATK says to sprinkle a little water in the beans, but I have never tried it. It's one of the main issues with the plastic Capresso machines. https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/8302-how-to-reduce-coffee-grinder-static
