  1. Flying under the radar with that pic is that he has zero orange on his face.
  2. Because it's not lazy when they do it. If your audience is being fed suspension of disbelief material, it has to be more than "just because." It's a fine line to walk and only the Batman movies have seemed to get it right in the DC movies.
  3. Her hitting the pavement with the kids in that scene was laugh out loud funny. Literally. It was "the wheelchair scene in Mack and Me" bad.
  4. Ryan Cohen increased his stake in GME from 9.8% to 12.9%, confirming his intention that he is in it for the long haul and possibly looking for a hostile takeover or some other activist investor activity. It's been a wild ride since I bought in at $4.95, but I intend on holding until either a short squeeze happens or Cohen's game runs its course.
  5. I somehow lucked out on a Ryzen 5 in May at Newegg that was lost in the shuffle for a couple of days at their warehouse and a B550 motherboard that was in stock at Altex. This was in the heart of the shortage, too.
  6. Show me a team with more quality losses...
  7. 4 precincts left to begin reporting. At least Austin is keeping it weird, I guess?
  8. She's a transfer, though. Transfers miss out on a school's 1L year, which is actually the hardest year in law school and where Harvard grads actually earn their reputation. It also happens to be when they take constitutional law classes there. A quick Google search showed that back in 2015 they had Comparative Constitutional Law as a 1L course, which is upper level coursework at other schools. She transferred from the University of Miami, which is a good law school, but she didn't go through the whole gauntlet and definitely appears to have missed out on the bulk of their constitutional education.
  9. I also think they are getting Mando shifting away from the orthodox tradition. He learned that he is part of a smaller sect and that other traditions exist. It might also be why Pedro stopped throwing fits over screen time.
  10. Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom...
  11. This isn't new, though. I personally heard a person in a professional setting talking to a prospective client to take a deal because he's going to need the money to prep because the government was tracking by satellite who had gardens so they could come in and seize their food when martial law happens. This was 3 years before Maga happened. All of the worst that we were seeing was out there, with Jade Helm being the most visible example to those on this board. MAGA just pushed it mainstream and made it a Republican cardinal sin to not embrace it.
  12. I'm 4 hours in. It's a fun game, but I have yet to be blown out of the water. This game may have been ambitious when it was first conceptualized and began almost a decade ago, but a lot of what I have seen so far is pretty standard fare in a modern video game. I have yet to be blown away by anything and for some reason, the customization just didn't attach me to the character. In fact, I'll go as far to say as Skyrim is still the gold standard of this genre, so far. Again, I'm only 4 hours in and have just begun to scratch at it, but the initial impression is meh, too much hype.
  13. I hate the times I end up agreeing with you...
  14. Hey couch burners, we're not just A shit show. We are THE shit show of college message boards.
  15. Just for clarification purposes, Big Army is how the Army outside of special operations units (SF, Rangers) is referred to as. So, essentially, both the regular Army and special operations are denying it happened.
  16. When I read that Herman was banging a famous Austin jewelry designer, I was relieved when Crayon's picture didn't pop up. I was expecting a freckled ginger in an elf costume.
  17. Yeah, this is a state senator, not a US senator. There are some legit people in state legislatures, but there are some absolute goobers susceptible to Q tendencies. I would be surprised if this even makes it to a vote.
  18. That whole sequence was captivating to me. The thing that this show does well is making these people seem human then remind us they are monsters in the same episode. Chris broke in, knocked the guy out and cuffed him, only to sit on the couch and watch TV until he woke up, then killed him. Michael Imperioli would always put this look on Chris' face when Chris was in the zone that was truly psychotic.
  19. I was able to snag XOM 16 APR 21 40 calls for 1.75 per a couple of weeks back.
  20. An optimist would say that this is proof that the system of checks and balances works just like Texas sunshine pumpers were telling people to calm down after Rice in 2010 because Texas still won the game. Those who were paying close attention knew that something was wrong.
  21. It was actually 3-0. The other R abstained. Wouldn't even throw his name into the ring one way or the other as if it would spare him some heartache, but I'm afraid all he has managed to do with that is piss off everyone.
  22. His "evidence" was his strong suspicion that fraud could possibly occur, but he presented no evidence that fraud actually did occur. But he wants the results thrown out because something could have happened, not that something actually did happen.
  23. Listening in on MI, it looks like it will be certified 3-1. Aaron Van Langevelde, who is a Republican member of the board, is stating that the board has no authority to demand any audits or reviews and that the law is unambiguous as to their duty to certify.
