    HBO owned Cinemax from jump. But I think the answer is that the HBO streaming service contains a bit more content than HBO did, to include the "second tier" content of Cinemax. Also, I suppose "max" tested out better when they went from HBO.com to HBOMax to Max. However, I recently learned that Cinemax is back as a provider-only streaming service offering different content from HBO.

    So, what are you trying to do here? There's 24 pages of posts here, almost none of them involving LGBTQ. Somewhere between about 8 and 15% of the US population identifies as LGBTQ. So it would be expected that a few of the wackjobs would be LGBTQ. But you know who is seriously overrepresented on this thread? Not teh gheys, but the congregational "Christians" that often as not are wholly supportive of the oppression of LGBTQ.

    Probably accurate. But doesn't perhaps account or the addition of jobs.

    And a reminder what happens when you make the rules up as you go along to fit the situation as some majority may view it.

    I can't cite any sources, but yeah, that's my sense. University research provides basic ideas, that usually need to be refined into something commercially practicable and manufactured.

    I'm talking about founders because that's what Hermanator said.

    By tempering it with the Constitution, I don't think you can call them religious nuts or fanatics. Had they been fanatics, the various factions represented never would have gotten together. Never really heard Quakers referred to as religious fanatics, either.

    That's a load of shit. I'm all for realism about America and it's bullshit exceptionalism. Let's not make it worse than it was.

    But they weren't Puritans. First Amendment is a rejection of all that. The majority of them were Anglican, a couple Cathoholics. The mortal enemies of Puritans.

    Where does this "religious nut" shit come from? Sure, they were nominally Christian for the most part, but there's about zero evidence that any of them were religious nuts, certainly by modern standards. First Amendment belies that whole notion. And, yeah, there was slavery, which was tolerated more than endorsed, and subjugation of women. Standard shit for the times. Not making excuses for it, it is what it is and it was more progressive than any other contemporary nation.

    You know damn well this result, like all of them, had no bearing on the underlying merits of the case or even the prosecutorial discretion in bringing them. Fani Willis is a dumbass and OLC 24-0222 is what it is.

    I definitely think there is more of a role for capitalism in drug and device development than in more core aspects of healthcare like providers and facilities. That doesn't mean largely unrestrained capitalism as currently practiced by pharma, as an example. There's a whole wealth of medical technology that we never hear much about, such as imaging and devices, where a whole lot of innovation occurs. Shit's expensive, but I'm not sure it's disproportionately so. I used to do patents on surgical devices that seemed expensive af for single-use devices (few hundred bucks), but not totally outrageously so.

    The right, sure. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

    I'm not sure it's his legacy he cares about so much as his current, living ability to maintain his inflated self-image, of which wealth is a part, but only a subsidiary one. But it's the same result, either way.

    I think his point is that, generationally, the young, men in particular, are significantly worse off than preceding generations due to the wealth/income gap and asset inflation. There's less room for error than there's been in quite some time. That may apply less to white men than women or men of color, etc., but I think it's broadly true.

    Despite his goonerness, you gotta at least grudgingly respect Heupel as a pretty, pretty good college QB that basically launched the Stoops/OU/Bag of Dicks dynasty. And then to do as well as he has as a college coach. But geez, dude, get a grip on the bread, Doritos, and m&ms.

    Yeah, there's something kind of pernicious about these latter-day D-FW exurbs. I guess its those with new money get in early on a fancy subdivision before it really takes off, then some bigger money comes in for various reasons (proximity to the airport for Southlake), including familiarity with it as a trashy burb in its prior existence. And then the worst characteristics of both new and old money, rural dipshits and more urbane privileged, mix and amplify. Also, you got around.

    Quinn is a dufus for a) unironically wearing a tie bar in the year of our Lord 2024; and b) a tie bar with anyone's name on it; that it's Trump just takes it to 11. And, it's not really surprising that doltish 18-22 year-olds vote Trump. The distressing part is the actual grown adults.

    I'd say Klubnik balled out today. Ewers had a nice game. Tre was a beast, happy for him. Guess I should add Blue and Gibson to that.

    That's one of the more interesting aspects of the stupidity that has seized us. Things that are clearly Republicans' fault, but not THESE Republicans, RINOs or someone else, but with pretty much the exact same policies.
  23. TwiceHorn
    Yeah true. This year had too many newbs and mercenaries. I just really enjoyed Logan.
  24. TwiceHorn
    Well, they both need to be in high-chairs.

    Buy some mufuckin Vanguard 500 or SPDR or Fidelity something or other. It's not that hard.
