  1. Playing my 7th or 8th round ever on Saturday. But my first ever after having actual instruction (summer clinic out in Kyle, not necessarily 1-on-1). Hopefully I'll see improvement. Played Bluebonnet last month and hit my first ever Birdie on that Par 3 on the front half. Got within 3 feet from the box. Y'all seem to be a tiny bit further along in development than I am. Just a bit.
  2. Guess I can only speak for the millenials born in the 4-5 year frame around me because I do everything you just mentioned, including having my first internet experience be a free trial disc of AOL (and then NetZero, etc.). I'd argue that if someone is young enough to have never operated a desktop they're probably not a millenial, not everyone born after 85 is a millenial, there's a new generation up (Z? What are they?)...... we're all getting older now... yadda yadda.... Excatly who I'm talking about. The ones most likely to get trolled/straight up lied to and spread it, or even fall for the phishing scams on FB or through e-mail.
  3. It's like all the olds who told my fellow millenials to watch what you put online bc the world can see it then promptly got online without a clue to how the internet works and then proceeded to herp-derp their way all over Facebook and now Twitter. They were never prepared for the way the internet operates (except for ArmyBrat, that dude is a fucking savant).
  4. The Sopranos and The Wire. GoT fell off my Top 5 after this last fan ball-fondling (fan service) season.
  5. Sent the absolutely minimum amount I felt comfortable with. Let me know where I go to get the sunshine pumped up my ass and also where the old NSFA section is.
  6. Close! Just an HBO fan. I got 2 shows ahead of Breaking Bad on my list, and we both know what they are, but I don't think Breaking Bad necessarily challenges either seriously for a Top 2 spot. IMNSHO.
  7. I'd add driving too fast or slow relative to the danger level. Saw a cyclist hauling ass down Dean Keeton a few weeks ago (westbound, all downhill coming from 35) going the same speed as me around red river, 35-40 mph bc she was pedaling fast as shit, not 1 minute later she runs straight into an SUV that turned right across her on San Jac. She must have still been going about 25 mph even after trying to brake. Felt bad, was probably the SUV's fault, but if you're on a bike you should ride at speeds relative to your ability to brake, and relative to the amount of danger being on a bike surrounded by cars entails. If I'm going 35 in my car I can brake probably half the time she can on her bike. And she paid for it. Same with scooters, I hate that they're downtown on some streets without bike lanes and not blending into traffic like *responsible* cyclists would do. Had a couple squeeze into a lane with me scare the shit out of me. Should've just followed me, or even cut me off, at least I'd understand that, but I suppose the more accident posts we see on this thread will help in sorting out the dumbasses.
  8. I saw this the other day and can't remember the whole list, but I've seen the majority of the Top 10 and thought that was alright. I don't remember enough about Lost to know if #1 is a decent choice. #45 and #44 were both my favorite episodes of R&M and The Leftovers so I liked those choices, but they'd both be in my Top 20 personally.
  9. I'd bet my USC tickets that Calvin Anderson will be starting the first game at LT. Absolutely nothing to it that he's not at LT1 on the 3rd day of practice. He will have to "earn" it the same way they're making Sam "earn" that starting spot at QB. We all knew (even since last year) that if they're both healthy Sam will be starting, regardless of all the competition talk. Herman's handling of that situation should tell you all you need to know about how he'll handle Anderson. Kirk Johnson hype from OB? Consider me intrigued. Not hard to do going from 0 expectations to maybe 1 expectation now. 5 guys that can run makes me hopeful.
  10. Made me kind of giddy. Not a fan of his at all.
  11. Really important fight for Mikey last night, and he passed the test. Enough of the random/obscure European champions, took on a rangy undefeated champ in Easter and won. I thought it was funny that Adrien Broner apparently offered his trainer to Easter for this fight, and the result was damn near the exact same. Try to outbox Mikey with speed and jabs for a couple rounds (while Mikey mostly bides time trying to figure out his approach), then taste some big power and clam up for the rest of the fight. Easter may have lasted 2-3 rounds longer before shelling up, but those last 3 rounds or so he was hardly throwing, hands high and scurrying along the ropes. Guess that trainer really has no idea how to beat an elite fighter.
  12. Let's compare what the Reality TV Star who has never had to work to live a day in their life and has a propensity for cameras in the bedroom (who now resides in the Oval Office) has in common with Kim Kardashian, compared to Ocasio-Cortez.
  13. Finished it yesterday. Really liked the season, some great characters to follow.
  14. I actually think he's going to come back and be just fine. Because he's a piece of shit and this whole debacle is a fuckery and it would be what happens. Part of me also hopes that he does it for half a year and then a bit more of his hamstrings degeneratize(?) and then he's out for another playoff run. But that's just me being petty, which I will be forever because fuck him that's why.
  15. F y'all, she's fire. Hope she gets clean, but also hope I find those internet stories of her...
  16. Surprised that weird ending didn't annoy more people here. It annoyed me. I thought the first hour was great, then it just got weird. Literal "work horses"? Ugly as hell too... The satire and social commentary was cool, I'm with it, but that ending just got weird to me. Gave it a 'B' because of that.
  17. I'm 2 episodes in as well. Great start, I'm completely hooked to this team, but I can't tell who I like and don't like yet. The coach's pre-game speech before game 1 was intense and memorable, I'm thinking he is a hell of a motivator after all, then they get smacked. Week 2 I'm starting to come around to Malik Henry, he really does seem smart as shit, but then he reminds you he's just a 19-20 year old kid after all, who thinks he's a lot smarter than he really is. He's smart, and seems like a student of the game, but through 2 episodes he's still just a teenager.
  18. Thanks, 90 minutes isn't bad at all. Probably can swing a night so going to consider doing that. Thanks, that's great insight, I've seen the layout of the city on a map but you can't get practicality insight on a map.
  19. Personally I gotta hear both sides. Because apparently one side is a grown "man" bad-mouthing decisions of a 21-year old "man." Elliott definitely should be more careful about what he says about our school, but I don't expect nearly as much thought from a semi-educated young man not far out of his teenage years than I do a 40-something well-educated Mensa member in Herman.
  20. Yeah this is really stupid to use a Kawhi-based team to project against a team that didn't have Kawhi to get to 46 wins last year.
  21. I'm ok with the trade. Wanted all the Lakers young guns, but if this is the best trade we got, it does improve us imo. LMA led us to the playoffs last year without a true #2 scoring option, and that frustrated me to no end (seeing LMA get doubled with nobody else able to hit water out of a boat for large stretches). This solves that. We lose some defense, but DJ might just develop into a legitimate defender that can take whichever of the PG or SG is more potent offensively. I've been firmly on the anti-Danny train for a couple of seasons now, but man I'm more sad than I expected to see that true Spur go. He's not going to be forgotten soon in SA.
  22. Just looked him up. He's 22 years old and coming into his 3rd year in the league. Was a Top 10 pick (9) out of Utah, was the Pac-12 player of the year his sophomore year. Played a bit (amidst frequent trips to D League) his rookie year, but last year seemed to be the first big off the bench, over 18 minutes a game, 6.9pts/4.8rbs/1.2 blks. Seems to be a dunk & block center (shot over 60% FG) according to his Youtube highlights. I'm surprised he's being considered an afterthought considering the strides his stats made after his rookie year and seems like he still has a lot to learn. We also really needed a big.
  23. Any thoughts on Ukranian Village vs. Pilsen? Looking up some Air BnB's for early October trip with family. Houses look good (and affordable), but everybody says they're walking distance from "trendy" bars and restaurants etc. Any other considerations? (We're brown as fuck so I think we'll blend into Pilsen nicely) Also, we're beginning to get worried that 5 days might be a bit much (I'm happy just hanging around eating and drinking after day 3, but alas not everyone is), any recommendations for a day trip outside of the area? Milwaukee doable and/or worth it?
  24. I don't think I've assumed another driver on the road knows how to merge or follow a Yield sign for about 3 years (and it probably took me too long at that). I will say that there are a lot of silly yield signs at freeway entrances around Austin still. Maybe a 'yield' was suitable in 1992, but we're way past the days where you could come to a stop at a freeway entrance ramp and wait until it's "safe" to enter. Any time between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. you will be waiting there forever and have a line of cars 10 deep honking at you before you're able to find enough space to merge carefully. No thanks, cross those fingers and step on the gas, see you on the other side.
