Umm hello, @Brisketexan are you working or something? You're supposed to make some variation on the same post every page in this thread, no? (Which I totally align with, so keep posting away!)

I dunno, seems to me like a trade of one young guy for one particularly bad health company CEO is a pretty good one, and the youngster knows/knew it. Five to one, baby One in five No one here gets out alive... May take a week And it may take longer They got the guns But we got the numbers Gonna win, yeah, we're takin' over Come on!

I'll say it if someone else won't. This is about how I feel.

Michigan with an even average QB would have been something this year.

And they just missed a delay by like 2-3 seconds on the Bears before the defensive hold. This is a masterpiece of reffing the score (except for the horse collar), but whatever if it keeps the game interesting.

To be fair, the hold by the Chicago RT on their TD was comically obvious and bad.

Well fuck, these projections are making it look like my prediction might be off.

Harris 538 - Trump 0 Let's fucking go.

Anyone got some of these we can borrow for that election day thread?

Me telling myself "don't CR it up, don't CR it up, don't CR it up with the obvious comparison"

Important to refute this. We have enough incompetent, entitled, ambitious children of wealth that at least one of them is going to roll double-sixes a few times in a row. Elon has. Good for him, until his wild heel turn over the last few years. But overall, we have far more evidence that he is an awful human being that happened to get lucky than we do evidence that he's a born leader or a genius or anything along those lines. He is like Eli Manning with two Super Bowls. Catch fire at the right time and place and voila(!).

This is such a weird, esoteric question, but there's a lot of law talkers on here and this seemed like the best thread. Is there some sort of maritime / admiralty law still outstanding that contemplates letters of marque? That is, could some outcast country like Russia or Iran issue a letter of marque to a Houthi or Somali leader? Would it still technically (but not actually, ayatollah bro, c'mon) need to be be recognized in some quarters? Seems like the type of thing Russia would do, given their love of technically complying with the law while doing dastardly things.

DoXxEd!! Got 'em! No more letter of marque for you, buddy! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Callis_(pirate)

Follow up: Just got a call from the hiring manager at a good opportunity that I'm getting an offer and that HR is putting a package together! It can happen! I just interviewed with her boss at the HQ (Euro company) this morning our time, so they moved quickly. And when it rains, it pours. On Friday, I got a call from the hiring manager at another letting me know I'd hear within a couple days after today's holiday and to keep an eye on my phone. Not something you typically do, in the manner she said it, if they're going with the other finalist. The former was through networking. I finally swallowed my pride and reached out to key people to grab coffee/a beer and to say that I was actively looking. Universally, the response was, "Why didn't you say something sooner? Let me pass your info around and put you in touch with x, y, and z." The latter was through AI-assisted applying. It really is a gauntlet out there, and you either need help from a person or AI. It's nothing like applying to the help wanted ads back in the day, I tell you that.

Oh, then that makes total sense. I'd rather have Parsons, too. And CeeDee. Though a lot of what St. Brown does doesn't show up in the stat book. He is a ferocious blocker.

His pass rush win rate / pressure percentage numbers were always right up there with Watt / Garrett / Parsons types, since I believe the end of his rookie year. Sack numbers just started coming in this year. Sewell is probably the best T in the league not named Trent Williams, but you could make an argument. He's the only guy you could say is better than Hutch without really having to stretch the case. This is a huge loss for the Lions because Hutchinson was the only organic pass rush they had, except from sometimes McNeil from the DT position.

There is a chance that when the teams come out after the half, Ben Johnson will be HC of the Cowboys.

So quickly dashing this off on my phone, but it looks like Kadryov has declared a blood feud against Russia and is revolting?

I get such a kick out of this every time I see it. "Look how dumb they are!" Except that it should be the median and not the average. Signed, Pedantic Guy

We (Tigers) are worse than Cleveland, but we're getting all kinds of breaks with foul balls, warning track shots, ropes hit right to our outfielders, etc. It's like the opposite of when we had loaded teams in the early-mid 10's but always caught bad breaks.

Whining? Fuck off. I can call a spade a spade.

Be safe man. I really hope this is a remote-in to your cam and not "hey, I'm posted up here with 60 Busch Lattes and a Yeti let's rock and roll."

My dad and stepmom have a place in Naples and I think this is the second time it's going to get slammed in about 5-10 years. Naples is one of the most culturally disgusting places I've ever been, a suburban hellscape with a bunch of super entitled east coast and midwest Boomers treating a largely brown Spanish-speaking or white trash underclass like "the help." My dad and stepmom are cool, but some sort of supermajority of people are like that. Including my uncle and aunt, who also have a place down there. When we visit them at their high-class condo complex (which I admit is kind of cool with a resort-level pool complex, poolside bar, etc.) I am beyond embarrassed watching how they and the other residents treat the pool staff, bartenders, and so on. Same goes for watching people interact at restaurants and in stores. Everyone there has "made it" because they've paid some ungodly amount to live in the Villages by the Sea. And although it would harm my (small) inheritance -- he's a retired autoworker who got beat to shit over 30+ years on the job and lives off his pension -- I don't feel that bad for the jerks that get their reckoning (condos/houses, cars, etc.), though I hope the underclass makes it through safe and sound, both physically and financially.

Ridiculous Tigers homer here and agree with you.
