Somewhat like hangman. Select a word with vowels, select another word with different set of letters. Then repeat the correct letters while replacing wrong ones.

Baylor running game is impressive considering that that's all they are capable of.

Georgia "taking a knee". heh.

That QB should realize the all-out blitz and throw to the open guy crossing in front of him.

There was more variety between teams and not as much difference between haves and have nots. Now, haves have become juggernauts hoarding both 5 stars and good coaches as consultants and such. It is up to slackers like us to challenge them, not Boise States and TCUs.

that's terrible call

They are dangerous and cannot be messed with. They are 5-10 times the weight of a cat and probably 10 times more lethal. And they operate in groups. Roving monkey street gangs are extremely common in India. Even 40 years back when I was a kid, these monkeys would organize as a group (10-20) and drop into my grandparents' backyard where the kitchen is. All the people immediately vacate that area as some of the monkeys raid the kitchen while the other monkeys stand guard. The whole operation was very efficient, and they are gone in 2 minutes.

You are forgetting aggy. They almost consider Bama's playoff victories as their own. They even supported us, their arch rivals when we played for NC against USC by making t-shirts no less.

Rising took a shot there.

Utah Oregon is playing like GDGD's "weathering the storm" 1st quarters against OU.

Mission/History | Hoover Institution Looks like limited government and private enterprise are common to both, with Hoover emphasizing peaceful solutions (a cynical view would be the Star Wars' Empire's version of peace). The Texas version may emphasize religious liberty over world peace.

Isn't that just Cato Institute? They are opening a clone at UT? https://www.cato.org/about

Purdue QB is very good, except for a delayed pass that ended up in field goal.

I think it is tribal. A certain poor class, mostly white and hard-up immigrants, identify with the rich as being one of their own, either racially or for allowing to escape their poor countries to the US, respectively. Hence, a zealous guarding of "their" wealth from the moochers and no-gooders who want to steal "their" wealth through taxes.

You can't get around human nature. We like cheating even when every logical argument in your brain tells you that you are easily in the world top 1% materially and >99% of the credit for it doesn't go to you.

That's great. But the disposable wealth option addresses the billionaire problem of a small income and extremely large asset. Taking 2.5% every year from a 100B asset makes quite a difference.

🙂 My 2.5k may not impress you superman, but have seen the 2.5% of my little friend called Bezos?

The argument for billionaires seems to that (i) they innovated and developed the company and you can't discourage that and (ii) their assets are not like a traditional income and it is difficult to tax something that is just sitting and growing. Regarding the first point, there are multiple factors that have led to extreme wealth such as practically abandoning monopoly policing, BOTs being just CEOs/founders' buddies, public resources (telecom bands, natural resources, etc.) being privatized in short-sighted sales, etc. Bezos won't be so rich if Amazon was broken up into at least 3 units (Amazon.com, AWS and services such as Kindle, Ring, Alexa, etc.) and there was actual penalization on fake reviews and products that don't live up to what is advertised, collective voice for their low-wage packers and drivers, etc. Same thing with Google, Apple, etc. They in their state are stifling innovation lot more than enabling. Regarding BOTs, I remember in my last company where a ~1000 employee company board approved 1M shares for annual RSU distribution, and allotted 500k to the CEO, 250k to his direct reports, 150k to the various VPs and the remaining 100k for everyone else from director downwards. This is with the salary of CEO being >10x of a director and >50x of a lowest paid office employee. And that CEO was quite incompetent. About taxing the extremely wealthy, do what I (Muslim) have to do. Every year, I have to give 2.5% of my disposable wealth to the poor and needy. Anything outside of the things I use daily such as my house, car, clothes etc. is disposable wealth. If I have 100k in stocks, I have to sell 2.5k worth and give it away. I think 2.5% of disposable wealth (anything in a bank, in investment, in inventory, etc.) will be many times more than what is needed to provide basic necessities for not just US but the whole world.

His knee could have been down with his body being on someone else. His lower leg is clearly on the ground.

Why do you think so? Specifically regarding Elon, he made his money in California and all his endeavors started and thrived in California. Both the state of California in the form of tougher emissions standards and EV credits and Californians by buying majority of Teslas for the first however many years supported the sustainability/environmentalism/EV dream and made Elon what he is now. I understand Elon moving to save billions on his personal state taxes but not sure what he gains by moving headquarters. I think (don't have evidence) it is to help his personal move to Texas. But for Texans to say California sucks shit in relation to Elon/Tesla/EVs is rich irony indeed. Even in general, isn't California the leader in pushing progress and setting standards, while being home to a bunch of the top revenue/value companies? I don't get this regressive thinking that following good practices is bad and businesses should be given a free hand. The fact that California has and continues to develop and host lot of very successful companies through innovation and entrepreneurship indicates that California must not be sucking.

Advantage A&M

We are back on the map. TCU lost yesterday, so no land to gain next week. The remaining undefeated teams map. Next week, at least 3 more teams will disappear in the matchups of the undefeated (Arkansas-Georgia, Cincinnati-Notre Dame, Ole Miss-Alabama)

Sooner band is constant and loud, drowning out the announcers.

It think it is more of them having to defend Spiller only. Any defense will look good when they can ignore the QB.
