  1. Well, one thing I have noticed because I don't really care for video content over written, is that those Paul/Ian things really only do maybe a half dozen plays, tops, so it's not that deep a dive. So they select representative stuff. Or whatever they can use to bolster or explain their theories. Other sites put up a video and if its run time is more than about 40 minutes, I nope out of it. Also, over the years, it seems Scipio doesn't really wade into the obvious problems like Arch's performance or the kind of silliness like who should start. Wadlington has his white whales, like s/c, and other opinions/theories too, that he sticks to. But I enjoy him for the most part. Enjoy your stuff, too.
  2. I guess that's youtube subs? Kinda hope that's not site subscribers. I'm not a member of any site now, except this one, but have been kind of an IT fan going back to Robert Heard and the paper newsletter. I was even a mod there for a while. I'd like to think it's holding its own.
  3. The point is, I believe, that Scip has never relied on access to the program. He's never purported to be an insider. His deal is analysis and opinion, and a certain writing style that's a bit less evident on the videos.
  4. Which way is up though? Who's the dick and who's the asshole?
  5. I just mean she and her office did some good work. The RICO thing might have been brilliant. At the same time, roughly, she was hosting fundraisers against a potential defendant, and hiring her paramour as a special prosecutor. Not self-dealing, per se, but galactically stupid under the circumstances.
  6. Perhaps not coincidentally, my freshman year. Sorry, y'all.
  7. And those losses against better-rounded teams were so, so demoralizing. Generally much worse than what you're seeing now. Losing a volleyball game usually means the system breaks down, passing deteriorates, and you look like dooky. But it was so bad back then.
  8. Yep, DS was an afterthought compared to front row hitters. And yeah, that rumor was commonplace, whether true or not.
  9. Yeah, didn't mean to say that there's not some principal/second/vacation/rental property "fraud" going on, too. Just that they are, for the most part, two separate issues.
  10. The remarkable thing about both Emma and Zoe is that first, they reach damn near anything on or near the court. But their ups are much more pass-like than, for example, Cat McCoy, who also reached most things on the court, but spewed the ball all over the damned place. Emma's going to be tough to replace and we were lucky to get her after lucking into Zoe.
  11. She is alternately excellent and quite shitty.
  12. I am reminded constantly of Raylan Givens' "If you meet an asshole."
  13. Generally speaking, that's probably a disfavored argument in the courts: "I'm damaged goods now, no one will hire me." Courts hear that general species of argument in many contexts, trying to overinflate damages, and probably tend to be skeptical. But the bigger shit show the institution makes of it the more traction that gets.
  14. As stated in the post, unless there is some clause of the contract, variously called a "buyout," "guarantee," "liquidated damages," or whatever that specifies what happens if the institution terminates the contract without cause. Jimbo's contract apparently stated that he received 100% of his compensation due under the contract, regardless.
  15. A couple of things I see conflated in all this stuff. Most states offer some kind of tax break or advantage for a "homestead," that generally means your primary residence, that you spend most of your time in or intend to return to. Broadly speaking, you cannot have two homesteads, certainly not within one state. The ramifications of this are state law penalties, like you owe back whatever tax or other advantage you obtained by falsely claiming a second, or third, homestead. That differs, at least in legal effect, from representations that might be made to a mortgage company or guarantor like FNMA or VA. The definition of "principal residence" and "vacation home" and all that differs from state designations of homestead. They may be similar, but they're not the same and not prescribed by law, but rather by the rules of the mortgage company or guarantor. The penalty for making false representations to a mortgage company/guarantor comes in potential criminal liability for mortgage or bank or wire fraud. And possibly foreclosure. An incorrect or even fraudulent homestead designation is not mortgage fraud. First of all, it's not a representation to a mortgage company, but rather to a state or state taxing entity. Second, the definitional differences can be significant. For example, you can have more than one "principal residence," but not more than one homestead, typically. Homestead designations can be, perhaps, EVIDENCE of mortgage fraud. That is, to the extent the definition of a homestead under state law is the same or overlaps that of "principal residence" or whatever representation you make to a mortgage company, your homestead claims may undercut or belie that or vice versa. It seems the richie riches and political types commonly claim more than one homestead. They deserve whatever penalties state law calls for. But that isn't mortgage fraud.
  16. But whatever you do, don't give him noogies.
  17. He looked vaguely unkempt to me for years before he started wearing diapers and having a catheter bag.
  18. The HOTTEST!
  19. Just for a bit of perspective, a 2018 Buick Regal Sportback would blow the doors off it 0-60, 5.6 vs. 8.0. A 2025 Chevy Malibu with a 1.5L four would run neck and neck with it.
  20. That's actually a better look for him than the baggy blue suits and single color, poorly knotted ties.
  21. Actually, Donald, you're both fat. Pritzker, however, unlike you, is not a slob. He actually dresses like a billionaire. And he doesn't have stupid hair, like you and Kyle's mom.
  22. https://www.cwc.org/CWC/CWC/Updates/2025/President-Trump-Nominates-Carter-Crow-As-EEOC-General-Counsel.aspx Fulbright head of employment tapped to EEOC GC. I know this guy a little bit. Not at all surprised he's at least a little Trumpy, well-off, lives in Memorial all that shit. Did not think he's that political. But I'm kind of surprised anyone with a credible career at a credible place like Norton Rose Fulbright would join the confederacy of dunces that is Trump appointments. I guess "general counsel of EEOC" is a good credential, but geezus criminy. He went to blOwU, which may explain everything.
  23. I was super-skeptical of those for tshirts and the like as it's really just polyester. That is DryFit, CoolMax, cooldrysupermaxfit, whatever. But, I started mountain biking, a very sweaty endeavor in Texas, and damned if they aren't kinda the shit. But the cheap ass ones from Walmart or Amazon are as good as any.
  24. They're not "falling for the line." It's a fact that it will be suspended for six months on refusal, even if you are acquitted on the DUI. It is relatively simple to obtain an occupational license, but you have to go through the steps and pay some fees.
