  1. I need someone to explain to me in simple words how the city's power infrastructure being controlled by a for-profit monopoly makes any goddamn sense. If it's to be a monopoly, shouldn't it be government-run, or at least non-profit? If it's to be for-profit, shouldn't it have competitors? How the fuck can it be both things?
  2. College football - with a huge number of teams of widely varying quality - is absolutely tailor-made for a system with multiple tiers and promotion/relegation. I mean, there’s no comparison whatsoever between Georgia’s program and Kennesaw State’s. If Kennesaw State insists that they need to be in the same division as Georgia, fine, let them earn it and stay there. Not to mention the relegation battles would be epic and generate huge interest. Can you imagine beating your rival toward the end of the year to literally banish them to another division? Unfortunately it’s never gonna happen for the same reason that it’s a nonstarter in North American pro sports. Money. We’re moving away from a world in which that might conceivably ever be on the table at breakneck speed.
  3. The Athletic's NFL beat writers' mock draft has Banks at #29, Golden at #30. In other news, beat writers suck at this.
  4. Either go up or drop to zero? Man, that's good stuff. Sounds like a smart guy.
  5. My prediction: it gets up to 4% or so before they lose sight of it until it comes around again in 2028, leaving us all with blue balls.
  6. We need to restock the depth chart. The last two classes only had 7 guys, a few of whom probably have a low chance of being starters on a playoff-caliber team. They don't seem too interested in tranfer players at OL.
  7. What the fuck is the Rays thread? Is that us too? I'm confused.
  8. Both the Ioniq 5 and 6 get pretty good reviews, I think. I rode in a coworker's 6 once and it seemed pretty nice. When we were thinking we'd have to buy a new car back in the fall, I was leaning pretty heavily toward the 6 but we hadn't test drove one yet (we ended up not needing to buy). The looks are polarizing but I fall in the camp of really liking it.
  9. I really wish Ford would do an electric Maverick but they don’t seem to be in any hurry on that.
  10. Those things look slick but the MSRP is no joke. I was intrigued and then immediately not intrigued. Anyway, there’s no need to cloak this thread IMO. We all know what the situation is and there are plenty of other threads to discuss that. I will say that I’d be surprised if it weren’t a strong buyers’ market for used Teslas right now. Is that what you’re seeing @boilerhorn?
  11. Damn, Flood is trying to go balls deep this year.
  12. Never been with an Aussie chick. Are they all square shaped? One of my favorite episodes. Rusty fist bumping his adult self at the end gets me.
  13. I've been thinking about making a post. Let's make it happen this year.
  14. Referring to John Rocker as a former MLB "star" is quite a stretch.
  15. To quote the great @Rholl, I don't know shit about shit, but based on visits/offers/reporting so far it sure seems like they'd like Turntine + 1 other true OT + 1 swing guy. So far everyone is in agreement that this is going to be a load up year at OL. I'm sure they're selling all the tackles on the fact that we're getting two tackles drafted very high in the same year.
  16. Twenty-two attorneys general sued over the NIH cuts. Of course, shitbag Ken Paxton would never, ever lift a finger against his dear leader in order to fight for funding for important biomedical institutions in his own state.

    Post Malone

    I’ve yet to hear a single Post Malone song - in any genre - that is in any way interesting to me. And that’s fine.
  18. That trailer looks awful tbh
  19. I like the frame. Let him eat and lift for two years and maybe you end up with a 6'6" 330 lb monster.
  20. This year's Nate Kibble situation? "Hey buddy, it would probably be in your best interest to go ahead and jump on this offer"
  21. Apologies if this has been discussed in other threads. I assume that Thomas and Alito are down for whatever, but my guess is that some of this stuff will eventually be a bridge too far for Roberts and one of the others. At that point we have a showdown. Given how far the wheels are off already, the fact that Congress won't do shit, and the amount of loyalists that have been packed into the administration, it seems inevitable that Trump will eventually just say "nah, I'm not going to abide by that" if something doesn't go his way. What then? Has that ever happened in history?
