  1. Its funny, Scottie was only picked in 30% of all entries, which is the most of any player, but I would have guessed it would be higher. Maybe the rationale is that if everyone picks Scottie, it doesn't really matter how he does because it basically eliminates his value, so lots of people picked others as a differentiating feature in case Scottie has an off week. At least that was my thought when I considered others. But Scottie is so much better than anyone else in the field, I couldn't justify choosing someone else in the end. Maybe Rory, but fuck that guy, I'm sick of his twaty-ness and he constantly chokes in these things anyway. out of Tier 1: Scottie - 30% Rory- 25% Morikawa - 15% everyone else was 2-6% except Hideki who was like .5%.
  2. Yeah I left Rory out. He was T1 for certain.
  3. Scottie Aberg BDC Morikawa Hideki Xander JT Koepka
  4. Would suck to just be strolling along the river, enjoying an authentic slice of Sbarro and get taken out by a rogue helicopter rotor.
  5. 893 entrants $25 fee, $25K prize pool and $5K for first. Pick one golfer from 8 tiers. All of a sudden I'm a huge Rose fan as you don't really expect top production from a guy in the 4th tier. Let's see how long the old chap can hold on. Currently sitting in a 10 way tie for 7th ($600) at -10. Straka is shitting himself furiously, but my lower tier guys showed up.
  6. That fat slob in his XXXXXL aggy getup is a tremendous sell for the university. Next come the championships.
  7. Lulz. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/10/politics/trump-xi-china-tariffs/index.html And yet somehow they arent too proud to work out deals with the rest of our allies. hmmm, I wonder why that is. We're so fucked with this brain-dead potato running the show.
  8. You've been on facebook again, haven't you grandpa.
  9. Dude, what?
  10. Those would look awful in urinals. Whatever you do, don't leave any of those in public urinals.
  11. Thats some fucking 8D chess, right there. TRUMP: Egg prices are too high. Do something TRUMP LACKEY: Sir....I found eggs in Europe. We can lower prices by importing eggs. TRUMP: I suggest we find eggs in Europe and bring them in, so we can lower the prices. Can we find some eggs? TRUMP LACKEY: Sir I just said, we located....never mind, we will bring in eggs from Europe. The magnificence of your brain truly knows no bounds, sir! TRUMP: Now lets tariff those eggs!
  12. A quick google search shows the city of Austin (not Austin metro area) reports about 500-600 rapes a year with a population of ~1M. I'm gonna guess its comically inflated bullshit.
  13. Will there be any dildos* involved in this video? Asking for my own scientific self. *RFK Jr excluded, of course.
  14. I guess I would need the definition for what qualifies as a sexual incident, and whether farm animals count, but that number seems like bullshit to me.
  15. The best part was Wulaw acting like Trump bailing on everything he said he was going to do was some masterstroke of negotiation, rather than an tacit acknowledgement that he was on track to proper fuck the economy "like nobody's every seen before."
  16. I'm using a laptop, so I use the website, but its crazy how much better they are at meaningful real-time content than any other sports event. And it works. And its been working for years, while ESPN still cant fucking figure out how to consistently load video streams that dont freeze every 20 minutes on their watchespn site. I'm curious how much is done inhouse and how much they outsource to 3rd parties. Its crazy thats its clearly the best experience in sports and they dont charge $0.01 for it. Hell, they don't even make you sign in to access the content.
  17. Trump cant wait 3 months for the attention, so he will find other justifications for threatening to carpet bomb the world with new tariffs. Because he's a fucking imbecile.
  18. Golf odds on majors are such a trip when you compare book to book. I can get Aberg at +1400 & +2470 on my two books. But Morikawa is +1200&+1316. Straka is +4500 & +5755. Those are not trivial differences like -115 vs. -120 on a pt spread.
  19. tank and bank
  20. I generally agree, but I am talking myself into an exception here in the short term. Reading a bit more about Trump's comments today, it doesnt shock me to learn that he plans on further manipulating markets by picking and choosing which companies have to pay tariffs: So he's basically announcing he will now be soliciting bribes or quid pro quo favors in exchange for protection. I bring this up because those companies will likely see a recovery beyond just what we saw today. There is no concrete explanation, just Trump's instinct. Take AAPL for example, while their 15% recovery up to $200 today is a start, it was trading at $250 in february. My guess is doubling the cost of Iphones in the US is not a complaint he wants to hear constantly, and as they have greater than 50% market share it would be a constant complaint. Plus he probably drops about 3 Iphones in his toilet each week. OTM AAPL calls might be an interesting gamble as they would skyrocket if Trump does his buddy Tim Apple a solid. Maybe $220 or $225 AAPL calls for 5/16 expiry. Anybody got other guesses as to who he would likely exempt? Tesla obviously, but they have bigger issues and I'm not sure it benefits them that much. Which CEOs that kiss his b-hole regularly import significantly from Gina?
  21. I just got my new passport in the mail over the weekend. As I was checking it out, I thought "it might be a while before I put this one to use." On the positive side of things, it took less than 4 weeks to get the thing, so at least that function of government appears to be business as usual.
  22. Yeah, Ive decided whenever shit gets real squirrely I just buy puts so I dont have to sell anything. I exit those option positions every week or so on the way down, bank the profits and buy more. I got lucky as fuck in that I sold basically all of my April 17 puts yesterday afternoon, banked about 60% of the profits and bought more puts for May/June. Those are all down 50% now, but I'll average down on those as well. Inexplicably a couple of my larger holdings (WMT and HACK) did so well in the rebound, that I finished $200 in the green today, lulz. Nothing got solved today, and arguably the China situation is getting worse, so imo the markets will creep back down once today's euphoria wears off. I have full confidence Trump will start wrecking shit again in a few days once everyone keeps pointing out it that it was donnie that caved, and absolutely none of this was necessary.
  23. Apparently Wulaw wants his children to be able to stitch up Nike's in a 105 degree sweatshop for 12 hours a day. beats a career in real estate I guess.
