  1. Gonna need Paris to mix in some more track and field and gymnastics in here somewhere.
  2. Tennis going HARD in the paint.
  3. Well, the attempt was allegedly mostly "foiled" based on what I've read. Not disputing the Russian angle but it's not crazy to think there could have been deaths had they been fully successful.
  4. Nadal, tennis.. probably not gonna be my call of Yannick Noah for a double tennis carry. Using Nadal is interesting for sure.
  5. Yeah, the "But Texas would suck worse than us in the SEC" false narrative no longer plays. So it's off the the B1G for them cause "shitty bossy tu forced the SEC to become their bitch while being an also ran who sucks and has no power". It would seem like absolute gibberish and the ramblings of a group of mad men, to those unfamiliar with the insanity that is aggie. That's to say, they are a group of rambling mad men who fabricate and alter their stories from post to post to fit the narrative of the moment. Always have, always will.
  6. I would watch a 6 episode 6 hour series on all the logistics for this event. Then a deep dive on the tech supporting the logistics on a separate one. Is my nerd flag flying? Well, it's flying proudly.
  7. The fucking logistics of that music set up makes me cringe. Holy fucking shit that is mad amazeballs shit. /fullnerdhardon
  8. Wasn't prepared for interpretive dance, but that's on me cause France.
  9. No hate on Paris, but I know where I'd rather be for Olympic events right now.
  10. Let's just hope the Olympics are never in Austin with its expansive light rail and forthcoming gondolas. Thought they could replicate the river parade if they can get all the dead bodies out of there prior. Sorry, I'll take it to the stupid Austin shit thread.
  11. I throw Yannick Noah as a possible torch bearer. For the record he's someone that just comes to mind as a well known French athlete with a big following. I loved his tennis play too.
  12. Say what you will about my people, they are not prudes and never lack emotional investment in their endeavors.
  13. Holy shit they Brits are actually smiling! Who was passing them the mdma?
  14. Yeah, I think in a very niche play it has value. During deer season running a rotation of 308, 243, 30-30, perhaps some 5.56 and 1 or 2 others 300 blk out?, with a Barnes bullet and quality powder and casing? 24/7 You could make a hefty margin. It would be niche and cyclical but very profitable in those specific environments. Environments, which, aren't exactly inviting to outside rogue actors.
  15. We're discussing this issue in a Daily Texan thread.
  16. Okay okay, I get it, the French aren't always white flag waving surrender monkeys, but the will protest anything at the drop of a hat. In fact, they would probably protest because someone dropped a hat or god forbid a raspberry beret. Going back to the attacks, I'm confident a lot of state actors have plants in the more well known current protest groups. That said, leaving a vehicle behind, if it can't be tracked (which maybe it is, we wouldn't know at this stage) is certainly a higher level state actor type move. I wouldn't be surprised if early on, it is linked to one of those groups, by design. Lots more discovery is to come on that front. I just truly hope there isn't a big or catastrophic event. So far, the efforts appear to have been sniffed out prior to any successful occurrences.
  17. You can always tell the amateur Brazilian Steak House folks from the veterans by how frequently the individual passes on food from the early meat offerings.
  18. Oh, I don't disagree with any of what your saying. The Russians, like some other countries, love to use puppets for their disruptions for sure. It's France, though, and those white flag waving surrender monkeys will protest for any reason. "Via la free chicken nuggets, from free range French chickens!!!!" I just think there is a state level brain behind the activity. I'm not willing to predict which as there are a lot who are motivated to create disruption, just because.
  19. There could potentially be a nerd thread in the video tech, distribution and capture methodology for the Olympics. It's often where the future of other sports tech is tested. AI dynamic replay - Alibaba Some cool Olympics camera history Deeper nerd dive on Olympic cameras AV Nerding Sony and the Olympics
  20. I won't call it Russia nor Iran (nor exclude them) but it appears mutli-layered and well organized. That's typical of a state agent more than an independent group of "protestors" typically.
  21. I'm not in anyway diminishing the pegging Chip provided UCLA, but I do have to note that there are other yellow toothed coaches out there than achieved not dissimilar levels of pegging on other universities before "retiring" back to whence they came.
  22. Good news is there are no shenanigans around longer sentences or higher per capita inmate incarnation cost on keeping these labor forces in prison for profit. 2020 info on private prison shenanigans So our food cost are going up at restaurants due to "higher wage costs". The prisoners are treated worse in the private prisons. They food suppliers are reducing their cost for supplies of the manufacture of largely extremely unhealthy food. This helps our population get their fat and sugar fixes burdening the health care system. These prisons cost the tax payer more than state run prisons. Finally, we are clearly winning the war on Drugs and the billions of dollars on the enforcement side of this puzzle can help make the tax payers feel super safe because they have APCs, high end tech equipment for spying on evil criminals and AR15s. Profit!!!!! Not seeing the issue on this one.
