  1. Also, I think people were embarrassed they were fleeced and didn't want to reveal themselves as foolish marks for possibly others.
  2. That guy has sucked 37 dicks in a row. NTTAWT.
  3. Fair enough, but still seems to be about same as it ever was as those departures from western "norms" would seem to be even more long-standing. I actually originally wrote that society "sometimes" pushes homosexuals into hetero relationships with the notion that not all societies do this, as you demonstrated. Finally, I suppose the more recent acceptance of homosexuality in some societies might make it less likely that they engage in hetero relationships that produce children, but I'm guessing the fraction of that is vanishingly small.
  4. You're not a dick, so I am going to take this at face value, but I think that's a right-wing bullshit talking point. The nature of homosexuality is that the percentage or proportion of homosexuals has probably remained steady throughout human history, so you've always had those "non-breeders." Why would "admitted" make any difference? The nature of society pushes some closeted homosexuals into hetero relationships that produce children. But I also imagine that this is the same as it ever was.
  5. Or pedaling? Makes a rather large difference.
  6. Even if their beat cop types are super-competent, imagine the detective/investigative capacity of most university PDs is about nil.
  7. To be fair though, even if Sark had already fired himself as OC and Flood, and hired Kyle Shanahan as OC and I don't even know who as OL coach, this would be a bit of a head-scratcher.
  8. Never saw any wood derricks in AR. Yeah, well spacing and pooling rules. Oil & Gas law was a really interesting course because it showed how law developed contemporaneously with the technology. We also got to watch a film called "Making Hole." I find drilling technology fascinating. Mining too.
  9. As good as Aggy may have looked against Corn, and possibly tonight (didn't watch), I suspect Wisconsin looked pretty fucking good against us to a neutral observer. They may be the two hottest teams.
  10. People act like this somehow precludes further changes in offensive coaching.
  11. While knowing the differences between Portugal and Spain, I would have guessed Portuguese are technically Hispanic as the root word is Hispania, which refers to the Iberian Peninsula. But I see the term Hispanic refers primarily to Spanish-speaking people.
  12. Seems like they're gonna have to take a step back. But, as has been noted, Morrison is a good coach and an NC, or even a final appearance, is going to boost their recruiting. Also, I have this little belief that aggyland being what it is, and volleyball, being the "girly girl" sport that it is, might not attract a lot of players.
  13. Yeah same. And yeah, as much fun as volleyball is to watch, I cannot watch aggy win. I saw they took the first set and wasn't going to tune in unless Pitt took the second, so . . . . .
  14. I actually think most people do understand that. They also think, for better or worse, that Flood is the number one replacement priority, so should have been the first to go. But, he could also be regarded as the most critical and sensitive hire/fire, so maybe the last to go. There is a legit fear that Juluke was a deck chair shuffle. But if Scott was as unpopular as claimed, it might have just been a no-brainer.
  15. Yeah, slow starts and about 50/50 in the backfield. Pretty pretty good front seven though.
  16. As popehat observes here, Trump seems to have no real internal life (need to click to get the full monty). So questions of morality, spirituality, his place in the universe, have never concerned him in any way shape or form. So, yeah he neither has nor rejects religion or any other belief system except his id and ego. Another fairly typical characteristic of alcoholic/addicts.
  17. I was gonna say, at some point in the not too distant past, I think the Altima, Camry, and Accord were basically the cars that most people should buy. CVTs have infected lower- and mid-range vehicles and seem to be an abomination.
  18. I had kind of a similar dilemma except the pay scale differences weren't as stark, or knowable.. Not quite 15 years ago, after the dissolution of my last firm, I went out on my own. It was even unclear at that point whether I would rent an office or just WFH. But I can work from home just fine, although I miss having colleagues. I took a pay cut, I also work a lot less hard and have a lot more fun or satisfaction doing it. And more free time to work out and mountain bike, among other things. The downside is that I have a relatively static client base and the work ebbs and flows along with the cash flow, whereas at a firm, I could always find filler work between "major engagements." And I could be more aggressive in courting new clients than I am. Not quite the same thing as the above, and more to compensate me than just working at home in return for the pay cut.
  19. Trump's dog ate them.
  20. Well, the first parties injured here would be the techbros and oligarchs, with follow-on effects for the rest of us. So, yeah, I would expect some sort of government supported wealth-preservation strategy for them.
  21. Also note that this seems to be more or less the saga of charter schools everywhere. Private sector solutions to public sector problems are no better than public solutions and far less transparent.
  22. Tricky question. If they have the essential terms of an agreement and indicate an intention to be bound now, then it's a contract, with the details to be filled in later with a comprehensive written agreement. If essential terms are missing and/or it indicates an intention not to be bound pending a subsequent comprehensive agreement, then it's not a contract.
  23. Bari falling down on the job there.
