  1. I wish the Marlins were playing today
  2. They win 90 games once and suddenly they're the prewar Yankees.
  3. Ahh back when BU at least fielded a team.
  4. Well it's tough to stay awake in class on a Malaysian schedule when you are needed to tell a third of the people halfway across the globe what to believe every second during their waking hours.
  5. God bless my high school and our hour lunch breaks.
  6. First Astros off, Space Cowboys playing night of the year for some hot MiLBTV action. Hopefully Loperfido doesn't strike out 6 times.
  7. Depends on what you're learning of course. I needed a basic level of SQL for a job interview recently and learned that shit in a day on Coursera to the ability it needed. Taking and paying for a legit course that would have been a massive waste of time/resources. For my MA in history, it was absolutely necessary to spread out the info as books can be fucking long even with predatory reading and writing a thesis takes a shit ton of time. ...Of course I'm not sure anyone needs an MA in history, or is it that everyone does?
  8. Or an ugly one and they'll become the President of France.
  9. In undergrad I had flown to see my then gf on her birthday and had two midterms the next day after returning. Well of course there was a bomb threat, and I was pushed back missing both exams. One prof was understanding, but the other prof named after a cheap Mexican restaurant gave me a 0. I was able to salvage a C in the course but I was never able to personally recover from the shame and graduated with a 2.333 GPA. I often wonder where my life would have gone if it hadn't been for that one professor.
  10. Here is what is going to happen USA finishes 2nd in group with loss to Uruguay, 1 tie, and 1 win in uninspiring fashion. USA then falls to Brazil and we get a "Well it was Uruguay and Brazil!" so he keeps his job for the WC. At the World Cup it will be the exact same thing with a 2nd place in the group then losing in the first knockout game. There are more excuses and then a win over Mexico in there somewhere makes the federation boast how great we are for another cycle.
  11. Yall talking about making the Finals of Copa America, hell we ain't even winning that group with Uruguay in it.
  12. I'm of half a mind to say the FO knew this team was going to suck balls so they held onto Wolff to take the blame while they are planning changes in the background.
  13. Is that how it is in Argentina too or are they constantly talking shit?
  14. I'm still on Podcast Addict (Android) which works for me. Lately: The Jeff Gerstmann Show, Brad & Will Made a Tech Pod, & Nextlander: I'm not a huge video game guy, but I really enjoy listening to these three podcasts as they're full of old school video game journalists who are in their mid to late 40s now and have similar opinions on life that I do which makes for a good time. Jeff is also a hilarious person in general in that he fills 3hours a week talking to himself about video games. Jeff is also ranking every single NES game on Twitch/Youtube on Friday nights which is fun. Pod Save America - It is election season after all and I like these dudes. The Gilded Age and Progressive Era - Trade podcast for the Society of Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. It deals a lot in pop history so anyone can listen, but it does get in the weeds sometimes.
  15. I don't think we have any evidence for that.
