Welcome to Wrexham
I went and looked at the standings - there is no way they are winning the league. Very little chance for a top 2 automatic promotion. But the playoff isn't out of the question.

I think it's a pure respect of life. Including not letting anyone die that they have the power to save. The Fly episode did nothing to move the Breaking Bad story along - it was a true Bottle episode. This episode moved the overall plot along - yes at a slow pace, but it did. Same. It was good.

So I just finished Ludicrous I know they kind of got on track since that book, but man he really has not set up Tesla to succeed. And in fact he seems to be doing all he can to tank them now.

Disney embraces AI slop
There isn't anything hypocritical about it, this is their IP they are free to do whatever they want with it. And letting any and everyone run free with it is their right. The biggest issue is that is foolish for them to do this on their own. They should band up with every other studio and work this as a package deal. $1 Billion is chump change for these companies, they should command $100 Billion - maybe more - as a group. These companies don't understand how much their own IP is worth. And it's just dumb to see them give it away for really pennies.

So man (whom I assume votes) not born in America is complaining about people not born in America voting? I think his biggest problem is that when he looks at those people voting he's really saying ...

Given how the NFL has cracked down on things like the Houston Cougars powder blues, I would think they defend their marks pretty hard and any group would have a hard time proving anything about the mark being abandon. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2023/10/30/nfl-houston-cougars-oilers-inspired-uniforms/71381952007/

Austin Airport Parking
Work travel, someone else is paying for the parking. That said, Uber/Lyft/Taxi are all paid for too. But sometimes it's just nice to have your car right when you get back.

Maybe the aliens come up from a planet of plenty, where food from non-life sources is abundant? They spread their message, thinking it will bring peace and prosperity to the universe not realizing unintended consequences. This isn’t much different than what humanity has come up with. Think of the Paul Virilio quote: "When you invent the ship, you also invent the shipwreck; when you invent the plane you also invent the plane crash; and when you invent electricity, you invent electrocution. Every technology carries its own negativity, which is invented at the same time as technical progress".

- Tottenham Hotspur 2025-26: For a Few Trophies More
That what I meant about 1’. How unlucky of him. Also this was solid.- Tottenham Hotspur 2025-26: For a Few Trophies More
Damn, their keeper is having an incredible game. If not for him, this game is easily 4-0 or 5-0.- Tottenham Hotspur 2025-26: For a Few Trophies More
What a dumb penalty, glad to have the 2-0 lead.- who is the greatest robot/droid/character of mechanical persuasion
I wouldn't put them on the list, but 5 year old me thought these guys were really fucking cool.- Tottenham Hotspur 2025-26: For a Few Trophies More
WTF is that card? That's not even a foul if you ask me.- Tottenham Hotspur 2025-26: For a Few Trophies More
I was on a call the first 20 - saw the OG. Given that it should have been 1-0 in the first 1' I very much will take it.- Tottenham Hotspur 2025-26: For a Few Trophies More
Gameday!!! Let's do this!!!- I have graduated after 20 years
Page 2? You guys are slipping. And seriously - I read every word - great job man! Congratulations! I will add I had a very circuitous and path to graduating (failing out, grinding and digging myself off scholatic probation). To get to the end of the journey and graduate feels amazing. I am beyond happy for you. In my long-ass time at UT it amazed me how counselors ran the gambit from great to non-existant. My attendance in the 90's guidance was an after-thought. Not at all helpful for 18-22 year olds, many of whom didn't have their heads screwed on straight. When I returned in 2000 I had two counselors that gave great guidance and advocated for me tremendously. To have real support was a relief and help to achieve a lifelong goal. I'm glad you were able to find someone that advocated for you and worked with you. That means the world and just shows that the right person makes a huge difference. Again Congratulations!!!- Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
Maybe this is something far simpler? Maybe the aliens just figured out how to end all wars, be civil and keep the peace and decided to share it? The end result is everyone being a hive mind and losing free will. And they shared it across the Universe? The reason they are ultra nice to the 12, because they are doing this to keep the peace world wide. And they realized that with Carol in the state she is in, she needs to be isolated otherwise she risks the peace.- Losers always whine about their best.
I love the fact that Stanley doesn't cuss in this film (well once at the very end).- who is the greatest robot/droid/character of mechanical persuasion
