  1. I honestly dont even recall that much about his game at UM, but anybody nicknamed tractor who played at 300 and dies of a heart attack at the age of 34 gets a spot on my team
  2. Do his fingers smell like Kardashian?
  3. I relish any opportunity to beat those dick bags. Favorite or underdog, dont make a shit. They dont handle the bright lights well. Fuck the 6 points, give me the ML.
  4. All I know is lidar costs are falling fast as volume picks up. I have seen multiple references online speculating Lidar sensors in the $200-300 range in 2025. As I am not a purchasing agent for an automobile company negotiating volume buys, I have to trust these reports are accurate. Mercedes decided to buy in China. But costs will come down from all manufacturers. https://archive.ph/jx2lt And I realize that Lidar is a component of a complete system along with cameras and radar. Lidar USED to be prohibitively expensive. That will not be the case in the future when they are shipping on millions of cars. Cars wont be coming to market with those Waymo looking instruments strapped on top of the car. they will be next generation sensors from Innoviz, Hesai, Luminar that are inconspicuous and cost hundreds not thousands. If Lidar provides capabilities that a vision-only system can not meet, a few hundred bucks per vehicle adder isnt going to prohibit the use of the technology. Especially if all auto manufacturers gravitate to a subscription model for FSD. The cost of Lidar can be easily buried/covered by that alone.
  5. Claiming Tesla is light years ahead of everyone else is just more of Elon's bullshit. The same guy that has been claiming FSD was coming the next year in teslas every year since 2016. Are they a leader? Yes. But just because Elon says something, it doesnt make it true. https://futurism.com/elon-musk-realizes-all-teslas-self-driving-computers Your second and third points have nothing to do with who is "ahead." In fact there is still some debate as to whether Tesla's camera only approach will be viable to attain level 5 autonomy. Elon bailed on Lidar because of cost, and he wanted FSD in 2016. Its now 2025, Tesla still doesnt have FSD and the price of Lidar components have fallen drastically since Elon made that call. Estimates are that BMW is paying $1K per car for Lidar today. Volumes will be much higher moving forward making the cost difference trivial when new cars average $50K in price
  6. We'll be underdogs from here on out, so I believe the play is to bet a 9 team open parlay and just take the Texas ML every game. easy. f'n. money. Should have enough $$ after I buy my mansion, to snag a cybertruck and have it wrapped with RT's visage. granny glasses and all.
  7. INTC hires former Cadence CEO to take over after Gelsinger. I hope he looks good in a leather jacket
  8. WTF? When we hired Shaka, he had managed 1 win in his last 4 NCAA tournaments, with only the single run to the final 4 as an accomplishment worthy of a big promotion. Oats has 9 wins over his last 4 tournaments, was in the final 4 last year, and has this year's squad ranked #5 heading into the tourney. A Oats hire would be an order of magnitude greater in "holy shit" than shaka. He's a far superior coach AND coaching at a school with far superior financial resources for its athletic programs than VCU.
  9. Peter Doocy would suck Trump cock for an entire weekend if he could get away with it. The goddamn president of the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen.....ask him about the floor mats and true coat.
  10. Dickrod doing Dickrod things. Would have been better if he used "reefer." Or "devils lettuce." Now, I actually don't disagree with him, but I would probably also make a terrible football coach for a multitude of reasons. Some gambling related.
  11. And people thought TV ratings for that dumbass TGL tour were slipping before Tiger got hurt, lulz.
  12. Frogs turned him gay. he had to go.
  13. Like anybody could even answer that question without information on the treadmills whereabouts.
  14. Hate to say it, because he was a badass while here, but his behavior and decision making over the last few years is a bit off. A guy like aaron ross brings more to the program than having ET around. ET is a wildcard at this point.
  15. The only logical thing to do would be for every media/news organization to just outright deny the murder occurred. Just write it off as a false flag operation. Don't even acknowledge his death or sympathize with his family, and make sure to write extensively about how Jamie White was a paid actor and is now back to his real life. I mean that's clearly the most straight forward assumption that any news organization should make. Do your research people.
  16. I used it for a few weeks but not specifically for Teams/Zoom calls. It handled streaming just fine, but again, I'm right in the middle of austin. Typically download speed using online broadband tests were 250-300mb over a wireless connection to my router. They will give you a 30 day money back guarantee to try it out, so it might be worth it just to know. Setup is ridiculously simple. Plug the router in, and use.
  17. Try the Verizon fixed wireless home internet. I tested it out a couple of months ago when I upgraded my phone. Obviously living in urban Austin, I was getting 5G speeds consistently, but I used for a month and it was stable. I ended up not keeping it only because my Spectrum service was the same price ($45) and usually around 500MB. But Spectrum just raised my price to $75 with no warning so I'm tempted to sign up again. First I'll see if I can get Spectrum to work a deal, because I like using my Verizon cell hotspot feature as a backup in case my home internet goes down. If my home and cell internet are both Verizon, I have no backup.
  18. Good news for us IBRX bagholders https://11thestate.com/cases/immunitybio-investor-case $10.5M up for the taking. We can pool our collective payments and maybe get something nice, like a case of Meister Brau. Also in uncertain times like these, its best to listen to the investing luminaries, the all-time greats, to ensure we aren't make some mistakes we will regret down the road. It takes some f'n nerve to drop that bullshit on twitter when she was incinerating clients money at the same time the general indexes were basically at all time highs. Which is probably why she deleted it.
  19. Yup. All the "free market, no regulation" republicans will stand around with their dicks up their own asses while our tax dollars get shoveled into Elon's pockets.
  20. Just saw the price drop referred to as the Tesla Chainsaw Massacre. Now, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Trump instructs our sovereign wealth fund to start buying gobs of TSLA in the interest of national security, but short of that, what is to stop this price fall? Even at current levels, TSLA is a car manufacturer with a PE over 100 and it seems pretty evident the sales volumes of his incel-mobiles are going to be under massive pressure globally. Oh yeah, robo-taxis will save the day......
  21. I was just reading about this. The buyout price was announced at $12.50 per share and RDFN is now trading at just under $10 per share. That leaves a decent 25% upside if you believe this acquisition will go through as announced. A gap that large indicates some doubt by the market, but i can't really see the Trump administration stopping any of these deals. I guess RDFN shareholders could vote it down, but $12.50 seems like a price that stock may not see for a very long time. RDFN now up ~64% and RKT down ~15% Im just glad I sold my RDFN puts ($7.5P) after their latest earnings instead of trying to eek out additional gains before expiry (3/21). I woulda been proper fucked.
  22. Its like icono thinking the GQP gives a fuck about brown people from "not America". He'll be crooning Teg Nugent songs on the boat shipping his ass out of the country, lulz.
  23. TSLA topped out at 488 back in Dec. It is now worth less than half of that. Nice work Elmo. I'm sure your shareholders appreciate it. Of course, the board could always do their job and boot his ass from the company. Lulz.
  24. was never a big Jesse Ventura fan, but always appreciated him for this quote, and having the balls to say it as a politician.
