  1. Friend of mine got a build slot.
  2. I don't think that's right. I remember when he enlisted (air force?) and got stationed in Hawaii.
  3. Had to check which thread I was on...
  4. That was great. You could actually see fear in Cruz's face.
  5. I suspect part of that was sending a message to Iran. "We'll blow your shit up before you even know we're there"
  6. I was gonna go with "Gravity only works in one direction", but you beat me to it.
  7. That dude with the tacky watch is going to be selling used Altimas at 26% APR in a couple months.
  8. Lots of great points made on this topic already, but Tiger Moms/Karens aren't helping. We don't let kids suffer any consequences anymore and we don't let them fight their own battles (literally or figuratively) without "mama bear" showing up at the school to give everyone hell. My son has a friend he's been swimming with since they were probably 10 years old. It was obvious pretty early on the kid was going to be an elite swimmer. He was 6'6" in 9th grade and already had facial hair. Both this kid's parents were military officers who met at a service academy. This kids entire life has been micro-managed by his mom since his first swim practice (probably longer, but that was my first exposure) She manages every aspect of his life right down to what and when he eats and drinks. I've heard her at swim meets talking to other moms about not liking this teacher or fighting with that teacher. Now they are seniors, and my son says he's the most immature kid in his friend group by a long shot. Any time they are at a travel meet and his mom isn't around, he fucks around like he's a middle schooler. He says the only kids that want to hang out with him are the underclassmen. Kid has signed an LOI to swim at a service academy next year and he's going to be in for a rude awakening.
  9. How is Hovde going to pay himself back when he's in prison for laundering cartel money?
  10. I already defiled the mashed potatoes Fucking Sidis beat me by milliseconds!
  11. Yep. I'm an over-50 white dude with a salt and pepper beard and a pickup truck. They just assume I'm one of them.
  12. In my mind he looks just like Catturd.
  13. Arkansas admissions counselor told us they will look at all available grades when making their admissions decision. Same with LSU. I figure as long as his GPA is in one of the discount bands, he's probably safely in. He's safely in the 70% band, but only .15% from the 80% band and has a good chance to get there by the end of the semester. My daughter is going to A&M, even if she has to do the TEAM program with Blinn to get there. She's got a 3.85 unweighted GPA and several AP credits and dual credit hours, but isn't top 6% at our high school full of Apple Engineer's kids. I'm competing with about 75% of her friend group, her mom and grandparents, and her boyfriend. I'm at the point where if I try to talk her out of it any harder I'll damage our relationship. My son has been talking up UA, so hopefully she'll listen to him and at least take the tour. She'd be in the 90% discount band, and the Walton school is pretty equal to Mays these days.
  14. buddy, I'm 9 days from my 55th birthday. You start grading on a pretty serious curve once you're over 50.
  15. you can tell because a cute girl looks happy to be seen with him
  16. I didn't me for my reply to sound snarky to you personally. Just think it's wild they are touting this "new" technology we've been using since the 60s.
  17. I thought the same and was worried he would be a portal candidate. Glad he stuck around.
  18. I guess whatever he's making in NIL is better than selling insurance or whatever.
  19. So the technology we've been using on the TOW missile since the 60s?
  20. It has to be rent free, since his own father stole all his money
