Not a cat

Wouldn't she have to steal it from Rock first, though?

To some extent, but I have a friend that went to Harvard who proudly recounts his junior year when he finally got laid.

Holy shit, completely missed that.

I wouldn't be surprised if fetal alcohol syndrome is a huge problem among the conscripts.

So for the non basketball junkies on here like me, what the hell happened in that VCU final four run? Did some VCU guard start hitting 80% from 3s for 4 games while each opponent lost their star to injury? I can't fathom how shaka made the final four with a small school. It's like me banging Salma Hayek, theoretically possible but still mind bottling (sic).

I think she's doing a pretty good job. She's really good at the aggressive nodding of the head when she's saying something that she knows is total bullshit. As if she's also trying to convince herself it's true.

So last place gets their money back, right?

I believe the correct term is person of service.

Who the fuck has 1000 personal staff? Maybe that's normal for heads of state but that seems like a lot. Of course I don't even have a maid so might be out of touch with the .01%.

For some reason I read the tiebreaker as having to be an entirely new 9th team. Which appears to be wrong. Removing wiscy and adding Houston as my tiebreaker.

Going into Russian court w a blue and yellow necklace. She does have balls, I'll give her that.

You bastard. As I walk into the gates of hell, Hitler will walk up and say "don't feel bad I laughed at it too."

Same time period for me- I recall after all the season ticket packages, rec center fees and student insurance fees, we were looking at 450 or 500 per semester. That's like 1250 in today's dollars. So basically 10k for 4 years of tuition- yeah I guess we had it pretty damn good.

Obligatory I love my kids, they're my world, can't imagine life without them, yada, yada. And that is all true. But if I'm being honest I'd also probably have enjoyed my life so far just fine if I had never had kids. Especially if my wife was hot as shit and liked to swing. This is one of those you'll probably be happy with either decision unless you've had a lifetime goal of being a parent. Kind of like the kid that was rejected by UT and ends up at their backup choice, and 4 years later can't imagine wanting to go anywhere else.

Had the exact thing with my daughter at the same age. As twice horn said, keeping her busy was key. As long as she had shit going on she was fine, but over spring or summer break she was a mess. That might be my daughter's personality but it worked for her. We found her a therapist she liked and it really helped. We also tried the cognitive group therapy but she found it was a group where she didn't fit in- ie most of the kids were talking about heroin habits or felony probation and she was like WTF. She also got on an anti depressant, can't remember which one but be careful there because some have been known to increase suicide rates in teens. So have a really pointed discussion about that with the prescribing physician. If it helps you feel better, she's now a 19 year old freshman on the other side of the country at college and kicking all kinds of ass (not meant as a humble rag but to give you a light at the end of the tunnel.) Good luck.

Is it really though? I grew up in a middle class family of 4 in a 2000 sq foot 2 story and it felt plenty big. I currently live in a 4100 sq foot house for me full time and my son half time and I cannot wait to get rid of that albatross (the house, not the kid)

Pool in back, pizza on the roof- that'll get you to 7 figures pretty quickly.

It's kind of always been like this. My dad graduated UT in 1965 when you pretty much flashed your high school diploma and wrote a check for something like $3 per credit hour (I'm exaggerating but not by much). Right out of college he bought a house in Hyde Park near 45th and Avenue D for what was the equivalent of around 1.5x his salary right out of school. A new grad would need to make 500k or so to do the same now.

I assume they're in all shapes and sizes but I imagine ones can be built that are basically a missile loaded with explosives guided by a remote operator. Or just do whatever the hell the retired marine did in your example.

Thanks, that helps. Still if I'm war gaming against the US, I'd simultaneously throw a few hundred kamikaze drones and/or missiles against a carrier. All it takes is a few to slip through. It would only cost millions to sink a carrier worth 10 billion, and you'd lose no men in the attack.

Sure, but how does that fleet stop a swarm of drones or modern guided missiles?
