  1. In the qualifying for 2006, the USA did score in Azteca (Eddie Lewis). We did lose the game 1-2, but at least a goal went in.
  2. Didn't Phil Dawson also get an NFL rule change after a field goal that bounced and then went in? Maybe even kind of a bounce like Tucker's.
  3. I think Sbbruin was suggesting staying in the same *career*, not necessarily job. Staying in the same job is indeed a great way to never get paid what you are worth. But you can quit your job without quitting your career.
  4. I spent a couple of days there a few years ago, one day in the north section, and one in the south. Lots of prairie dogs. In the North, I considered hiking the North Achenbach trail down into the riverbed, but this trail was extremely steep, and vague enough, that I figured I'd just fall down a cliff if I tried to descend it, so I skipped that idea. From the end of the main road, near Oxbow Overlook I think, it was probably a lot more reasonable to descend into the basin. There is also supposed to be a small herd of Longhorns in the north unit, but I did not see any. In the South, I did the main park loop drive, with lots of short hikes added. I also went up to the park highpoint, Peck Hill, which is off-trail. I think there are some longer trails in this area, the Jones Creek Trail, but I did not have time.
  5. This. The Rice game seemed to have endless 3-4 minute TV timeouts, for a game only on LHN.
  6. Interdasting. My band director in high school was also from SMU and also a total dipshit. I don't think it is the same one though.
  7. Hey, better than Boeing. At least they were able to lift off.
  8. But you can use any kind of snek you want, the idiots can't tell if it is the right snek. You could use a garter snake, and set up the fight just the same.
  9. Somebody will try this in Bolsanaro's Brazil (where snek lives). That is not a good idea. But this could be Swayze's chance to grift the idiots??? They could not tell a jararacussu snek from any other kind, so the COVID-curing snek handler could bring whatever kinds they want. But actually, this is interesting and possibly good news. Something in snek venom could be a possible treatment, it interferes with the coronavirus. Scientists have isolated the protein that has the effect, sequenced it, and now do not need snek anymore to get more. If this does work, it is still years from being a drug, but I'm happy with every chance we get.
  10. This, with one correction.
  11. Humans (or any animals) do not have cell walls, only cell membranes. The walls are for plants. So count me skeptical of this particular source.
  12. Username checks out.
  13. And though your motives may be true, please do not try and restart the battle.
  14. With medical systems at full capacity, this is kind of the situation now.
  15. If I remember correctly, it was suicide by cobra. After the guy was envenomated, the snake made a break for it. Yes, snek tried to cross Lamar a couple of days later and didn't make it.
  16. Both, just as it has been. There are some studies (that IIRC not all the docs here are impressed with) that some vaxxed peeps with mild breakthrough infections can still shed a lot of virus, so the mask helps protect others in case you have such a mild (or even asymptomatic) infection. And it also lessens some the chance of you getting the breakthrough infection in the first place. But the unvaxxed are contributing a lot more to the spread, but you are helping a bit with a mask even if vaxxed.
  17. Username checks out ok.
  18. I think that gold bars have a reputation of being more likely to be counterfeit than gold coins, but hopefully yours are fine. I would not expect much better investment results in the next decade, and now is probably a decent time to sell. If you don't like having a little dragon hoard for fun, there is really not much reason to keep it. McBride's would probably give you a decent deal, I would guess. You do have to claim it on taxes as a 'collectible' which means some extra complication, but it wont be much money for you.
  19. I do appreciate the snek news, but since the story was from Sep 2020, is there news on how the eggs fared?
  20. W+/- and Z bosons for the win. RIP Weinberg.
  21. My book says this is John Calhoun as well. Jefferson Davis is on some CSA notes, but not this one.
  22. Maybe my imagination, but snek looks a little lumpy to me.
  23. Still no gold for me, but I did pick up 19 or so grams of rhenium metal, for about $300. In theory this is a speculation on this rare metal but more likely it is another shiny for the collection.

    It took me a while to figure out what was happening, from the TV feed. I thought there was some camera messed up, or some exposure mess-up, cause the screen went dark. I did not figure it out until Twellman mentioned it in the post-game.
  25. Be careful what you ask for because the answer is 100.000000000000000000% the first one.
