  1. Keeping up with this thread is almost a full time job. There is way more hysteria on display here than I would have guessed. Also it would be awesome if people just picked one or the other DT or CR thread on this topic and stick to just the one. I'm 46 and fat. I'm not worried about this virus at all personally, and I don't have a spleen. I don't get sick much and if a virus is going to take me out, so be it. My diet is red meat and alcohol and I've had a good run. I am a little bit concerned for my FIL, he is late 70s, and my mom who is 71. Still, as long as they take the precautions they should, I don't think its likely they get infected and then even if they do, they are way more likely to recover than die according to the best data I can find. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ I'm in IT so its pretty easy to do my job from anywhere that has internet. My company finally issued a WFH until further notice decree this morning. I'm way more concerned with the recession we seem to be headed for and with entire sectors of the economy being utterly destroyed. Our middle son does contract AV work for conferences and sporting events....he literally has nothing scheduled for the first time ever. Airlines are selling off or retiring part of their fleets. Hotels are empty and/or closed. We eat at the same place every Sunday night, the bartender we are friendly with said he covered a shift for someone the day before and had just two tables in two hours before being sent home. The place was like 20% of normal capacity, parking lot empty when you usually have to park in the back. What are all these hourly/tip wage work force people supposed to do? Finally, for the people pushing for federal or state 'lockdowns'...that would be a fucking disaster. There would be an immediate run on literally everything. My wife went out to the nearest Walmart and HEB this afternoon and she said pretty much everything was picked over. Surprising me, beer and wine was fully stocked but that was about the only items in our normal rotation she was able to purchase.
  2. I had heard that they charge sales tax to Texas now, do they? The same guy also has another site I was unaware of until recently called ammoempire.com. The hook there is that shipping is free. Not sure if they charge sales tax to Texas, seems like either neither would or both would.
  3. I think that is most of it.
  4. The two suppressors I ordered last APRIL had the NFA paperwork finally come through yesterday (technically one came in last Monday but I wanted to wait until both were in and just do one 4473) and I picked them up today. Exciting. I went through the Silencer Shop website and did the 1 off trust for both of them and a local place with their kiosk for the transfer. Both of them are from Griffin, a Recce 5 that will go on an X95 for mostly tacticool and a Revolution 9 that may split time between various handguns and a PSA AK-V. I got various 150gr stuff that should be subsonic, but we'll see. My company bonuses in April and these were impulse buys, I would have normally done a lot more research before pulling the trigger on something like this.

    XFL: The sequel

    The kickoff change is fantastic and I think it will make its way to the NFL in a year or two. It makes the play relevant and exciting. Same with the PAT, the 1-2-3 point option is very engaging in a way a chip shot field goal just isn't.
  6. This is, perhaps, a perfect parody of this season.
  7. I thought that was a pretty good ep. The chase-victoria-peter stuff was great. It was hilarious watching Peter's reaction to her reveal. The way they sold Cleveland was funny as well. What happened to the budget? Don't they usually take them some place pimp? Aleyah's dress at the end was fire.
  8. Kickoff at 7p local time. Unironically featuring strong Polynesian ties but also a lot of national talent. Bijan and Prince Dorbah are playing in the game.
  9. Targeting is a terrible rule that never should have been implemented. It is there to appease people that don't even watch the sport. The fact that a player can be tossed because he broke down for a tackle ahead of a ball carrier lowering themselves or making any kind of football move that changes where the defender makes contact with them is absurd and incongruous with how the sport is actually played. It is a very bad rule and blemishes the sport. Also it blows my mind that anyone from the South could think CTE, or anything, is an existential threat to football. Football is the most popular sport in the US and its only getting more popular. NFL ratings are up. CFB ratings are up. In the South, in the Fall, its what we do on Friday Saturday and Sunday. This isn't changing. Science and technology will eventually solve for CTE, in the meantime we're still going to be playing and watching football.
  10. Watching some highlights today and man #8 in the Clemson secondary got absolutely lit up all night. Difference in the game seemed to be LSU adjusted to the 3-1-7 after a quarter by just having Burrow bail out up the middle as needed and Clemson never warmed to the fact that it was an off night for TL. He was missing badly.
  11. My FIL is an aggy back from the days when they didn't have women. 50% of the time he sees me he mentions that Texas is a girls school. I guess because they didn't have girls. Not sure. Anyway. He called me after their bowl game this year to let me know that Jimbo wasn't trying to beat the point spread. I found that to be some next level aggy shit.
  12. 10
  13. I think the game will be close. Clemson is tested and better than any of the three teams that played a 1 score game with LSU. And Clemson's defense is better than Auburn's which was the only team to have really slowed LSU down all year. I'll be rooting for Clemson. I used to think it was cute to listen to LSU talk shit every year only to get beaten into oblivion by Saban. Now that they actually won, its not as cute especially on top of their antics in our game and the lies about the AC in the locker room. Fuck these guys.
  14. Yeah his performance in Bloodline is about as good as it gets.
  15. There was a game about a month ago and a lineman got beat and he said, I shit you not, "Brooks has no idea who came inside of him." I tried to find it on YouTube but I couldn't.
  16. That was a great game as well. The best semi final CFP game yet probably? Most of the others have been blowouts. I thought the Rose Bowl just had a bit of everything that makes college football the best sport. Some interesting story lines, the setting/history and the game itself had a lot of fun shit you don't see all that often like a kickoff return TD and the muffed snap from the punter that got returned for a TD.
  17. This was a great game. It had a bit of everything and it was close throughout. My favorite bowl game of the season this year, aside from our win.
  18. Fansville by a million
  19. I thought Witcher picked up a lot in episode 3 and was pretty good from there. I have played all the games and read the Last Wish, but none of the other books. The Triss casting is fucking absurd. Other than that I don't have many complaints.
  20. This line is interesting. I have no idea why it is so high. I could see aggy -3 since its effectively a home game for them but 6.5-7 seems crazy. Aggy lost to every team they played with a winning record. That trend should continue here.
  21. I watched some of this hoping to see bed shitting. I was not disappointed. Ravens were down 6-0 at the two minute warning and the half ended Ravens 14-6. Browns fans were booing the shit of their team. It was pretty great.
  22. Post PS Vue, I am pretty sure AT&T Now and Sling are the only ways to get LHN legally without having a cable package.
  23. America! Fuck yeah!
