  1. I assume these national officiating standards would penalize a team for a lineman picking up a running back and pulling him into the endzone?
  2. If it turns out that a series of avoidable human errors happened, that’s a much harder reality to accept than the explanation that a freak bird strike or equipment failure occurred. Just the idea that maybe 179 people didn’t have to die on this one. I would also assume most of us would like to believe the pilots are trained well enough and the plane is engineered in such a way to prevent a worst case scenario of poor decision making under pressure, resulting in catastrophic death. I wonder if there’s any possibility of foul play. When the scarce surface level details don’t seem to make sense, perhaps there was a nefarious actor involved. Hopefully not, but I guess time will tell.
  3. That stinks because the show was super realistic up until that point.
  4. 14/30 3 TD 3 INT sure is a stat line
  5. Can someone explain why I’m awake watching a meaningless game with 2 awful and irrelevant football teams?
  6. Surly: Assad is awful. Balcones: I refuse to admit Assad is awful or acknowledge any of the heinous things he has been accused of until all of the Hitler supporters admit Hitler was also bad. Surly: …
  7. We watched Nobody Wants This for a change of pace from the usual serious dramas. I liked the first few episodes but liked it less and less by the end. The “loser siblings” were far better than the main couple. Most rom-coms feature two people who likely belong together but have certain overcome-able differences that initially stand in the way. This story has two characters who clearly don’t belong together and don’t even have good chemistry, yet I’m supposed to root for them to beat the odds. Just split up already.
  8. Agreed. For all the hate it received, it’s a great standalone episode and has become yearly viewing for us.
  9. Episodes without Juliette are not great. Aside from Rebecca Ferguson being the best actor and a beautiful woman, Juliette’s situation is the most interesting and they need to move that plot forward every single week. That’s what will most likely reveal answers to some of the biggest mysteries. The rest of the show with the mayor and judicial and IT and the sheriff and mechanical is boring by comparison. It can’t stand on its own. It’s like a Christmas dinner with only mediocre sides. It’s like a LOST episode that focused on Michelle Rodriguez. No one wants it.
  10. I’m considering a trip down in February. I like Tulum quite a bit for a short weekend getaway to escape the Texas winters. It’s great for that kind of thing and beats the hell out of a mega resort in Cancun or Cabo.
  11. When you have 12 kids, you can lose a couple to cancer and nobody gives a shit. Especially if one of them has a serial number in place of a name.
  12. Maybe we should chip in for a billboard that says “If you come to Texas, an oak tree might fall on you and then you will never walk again.”
  13. La La Land will print money, but I am a little surprised at their location choice.
  14. We could chip in to get him a service dog. It would be cheaper.
  15. Terry Blacks appeared to be hopping tonight. Maybe a soft open? The building looks cool and I look forward to going.
  16. I’m conflicted. We do need to be investing in nuclear energy, but it also seems like the Trump administration will not be the best time to launch these plans.
  17. I like to watch about 1 hour of TV each night, usually a drama but occasional comedy, and there are tons of good options for that. I maintain Apple+, Netflix, HBO, and Amazon subscriptions, and I randomly activate Hulu or Paramount long enough to binge a specific show. Movies have been in a slump for a while but I’ve still enjoyed some of the 2024 new releases- Dune pt II, Civil War, Hit Man, Fall Guy, Challengers, The Substance, A Quiet Place Day 1, Furiosa. I’d still like to see Gladiator 2 and Anora, so that’s a decent list but not enough to supply me with a new good movie every weekend
  18. This is the correct opinion.
  19. Early indications are that Trump’s America will be a complete reversal of the Me Too years. Certain men can now sexually assault women with impunity and rise to the highest levels of our new MAGA government. RFK Jr, Hegseth, Gaetz, and Trump himself. Well somehow Gaetz was a little too slimy so don’t ever let your loved ones near that guy for sure. America elected a rapist, so here we go. If you’re a woman and you voted for him, wtf. Anthony Weiner and Roy Moore were a little ahead of their time.
  20. I also consider that a Christmas movie because Don Corleone was Christmas shopping when he got shot.
