  1. Pretty much. Personally I think my answer would be the future, but not the far future. Say year 4000 or so. Manhattan island. Just out of pure curiosity. A shitload is gonna change in 2000 years. Will humans even be around. Could also grab whatever technology you could see and bring it back to try to reverse engineer.
  2. It can send exactly one person to any time and place in the entire lifespan of our universe. The person will stay at that time and place for exactly one hour and then return home. The machine works one time. A few more rules: Anything you can carry can be taken with you. Camera? Pen and paper? Firearm? Sure. Likewise anything you can pick up and carry can be brought back with you if you like. You are fully physically present on the other end of the trip. You can see, touch, and interact with your surroundings and vice versa while you are there. You speak whatever languages you speak when you enter the time machine. Nevertheless, the time machine will protect you from death or serious physical harm. Conversely, you cannot permanently affect your destination. All physical effects you have and the memory of you will disappear the moment you return home. This isn’t a “kill baby Hitler” thing. Finally, the time machine is omniscient. It has the ability to send you to a specific time and place (e.g. Pasadena, CA January 4, 2006), or to a specific event you describe (e.g. the first time a human being ever made fire, or the first time a human being sets foot an celestial body other than the earth or the moon). Where you going Surly?
  3. Most pets die virgins. Nerds.
  4. How do y'all compare Brooks to Fasusi and Lamont Rogers? I haven't watched Brooks's tape yet.
  5. Never used it, personally. I think it's just a guy that does all the research and crunches the numbers for you and charges a small fee for the trouble. As far as I know, he doesn't have any info that's not on PowerToChoose. Yeah. Just pulled up PowerToChoose and I see a fixed rate 22 month plan from True Power for 7.99 + delivery fees. I just signed for 10.4 + delivery fees back in June, so I'm already keeping an eye on it. The headline rates on PtC include the delivery fees but I don't ever include those when I'm shopping because they're the same for every customer on every plan. I just go by what's on the label.
  6. Texas Power Guide is probably the site you’re thinking about. Prices have eased a little bit lately. If anyone was forced to sign a contract at 10+ cents a few months ago, might be time to look at your cancellation fee
  7. Of course. Tale as old as time. “The job’s not done yet!”
  8. I don’t know much about her and certainly don’t have anything against her, but man she needs to find a race that’s a slam dunk to win and do that for a few years. The current plan of running for every open job and winning none of them is getting a little ridiculous.
  9. Precinct chairs narrowly chose Turner over Amanda Edwards to be their candidate tonight. He says he'll only serve one term. We'll see.
  10. Oh yeah we’re absolutely gonna fuck up LA (and the World Cup for whoever mentioned that). Soulless corporate money grabs is all our sports-industrial complex knows how to do anymore.
  11. “Knoell”? For fucks sake.
  12. I like Rogers tape better than Fasusi’s. I also really fucking hate the trope of “it’s ok to miss on player/position X because we’re going to get player Y next year and he’s way better”.
  13. Not the preferred nomenclature. Asian…uh, Asian, please.
  14. Just want to echo thanks for doing these. Very informative.
  15. Cold. Blooded.
  16. Serbia won’t go away
  17. Got some mo finally
  18. Jokic is good
  19. Damn y’all we may be cooked
  20. Love KD but he’s laying bricks right now
  21. Gonna be hard to win this if Serbia never misses any shots
  22. Steph just had a wide open 3 attempt with alllll day to shoot. The best shooter in basketball history. Clank. That’s how it’s going.
  23. Got damn that was an ass whipping. Buh bye Bol
