  1. I have a female friend who is an alum of Mines. She’s probably a 5, which makes her a 9 at Mines. She joked about having no shortage of sex partners. Good luck to Little Cooter.
  2. I imagine he told Jesus to get out of his seat.
  3. I assume Crane also avoids most state income taxes that other owners pay, so I don’t shed many tears about cutting into his profit margin for a competitive team.
  4. Had a dream last night we signed a 1B and OF, then traded Framber and Peña to Twins for Correa plus a few good prospects. Step 1 complete.
  5. I preferred Simms over Major. I prefer Arch over Quinn. If the goal is to win a national championship, I favor who has the most talent and upside to deliver big plays in big games. Major was short and often had a noodle arm, but was smart and could put the ball where it needed to go. His talent wouldn't have played against the 2001 Miami defense, for example. Quinn has beautiful touch passes and is usually accurate, but it hasn't translated to points in recent weeks due to good defenses and his injuries. Arch adds dimensions of QB running threat and deep balls to stretch the defenses, while not being as accurate at the lateral and short passes. It is possible to believe Arch gives Texas the best chance to win the next 3 games without "hating" Quinn.
  6. Will this impact my Amazon delivery before Christmas?
  7. We find any outfielders who hit over 0.250 yet?
  8. Let us unite in wanting to see Bert Auburn hoist a national championship trophy about his carrot top hair and then immediately enter the portal.
  9. My boys are wanting NCAA/Madden football games that aren’t supported on their Switch. Is there a consensus among needs of which is better for kids/sports games between whatever are the newest Xbox and PS consoles?
  10. I think most of the bitching was comparing our first round to the Jets. They got Sauce, Garrett Wilson, and traded back in for Jermaine Johnson (and then nabbed Breece Hall a pick before us in early 2nd round). We got an oft-injured Stingley, aggy Green, and Pitre. You can give Caserio credit for taking the more talented Stingley, but give him heaps of blame for going aggy over Jordan Davis or Kyle Hamilton, or not trading up a couple spots for Wilson or Olave.
  11. Yeah, the #3 seed means a home game against Broncos or Chargers. #4 seed gets Baltimore or Pittsburgh, then @KC in the second round.
  12. We could pass the Steelers/Ravens, especially if KC sits Mahomes next game against us. Our offense isnt exactly firing on cylinders, if the plan is to sit CJ for the next 3 weeks.
  13. Good set of B cups is great, except when they’re keeping you from a spectacular set of C cups you’ve had some nice initial experiences with, just sitting over there waiting to be motorboated.
  14. The article said they were paid $93m over 15 years for multiple products, not just oxycontin. So their dealings with Purdue were a loss, but better than execs going to pound me in the ass prison?
  15. Tucker gladly would've signed a 8+ year deal at $50m/yr in previous years if we bypassed his final years of club control and he went straight to $50m. He wasn't signing a deal like the extensions Yordan and Bregman signed in the past.
  16. George Springer's looking pretty good now, eh fellas?
  17. Yeah, please take our trash too, Chicago! Sounds like their offer was just Paredes and Smith and we worked to get Wesneski added. Hopefully it works out in 2026 and beyond.
  18. I've been through several *device* approvals (or rather, clearances) with FDA. FDA's primary charge is safety, so they default to being conservative on the preclinical and clinical data they want before letting products hit the market. They charge user fees and others to companies applying, in addition to their demands of data that can cost $100k's for the most simple products, to $10m's on the high end. These costs come after years of product development, where many products in the pipeline fail due to not working or risk of not making it past the FDA. The typical FDA review group is a manager (who will be working for a Pharma company in 3-5 years), an experienced reviewer who is a lifer and satisfied with being a career federal employee, and 3 or 4 eager and inquisitive young scientists fresh out of grad school with little perspective on industry or how their tangential questions result in major $$$ to the applicant company. It's very challenging for new, smaller companies with limited money and resources to break through. This hampers innovation and competition. It's also why big dogs have hundreds of employees in the regulatory department to strategize and try to streamline the process and minimize time and cost to get to market. What level of safety risk is the American public willing to accept if we direct the FDA to be more lenient (and less expensive) on approvals? Other countries benefit from USA innovation in drugs and medical devices. FDA approval/clearance (or the data you acquired to get it) gets you 90+% there towards approval in foreign countries. American patients pay for the innovation and FDA approval costs through higher prices than are paid elsewhere. We can cap prices or profits, but there will be undesirable effects. There are a lot of levers to pull that impact expensive healthcare is in America (pharma/device company profits, insurance company profits, FDA regulation, physician costs, medical school costs, etc. etc.). I stepped on a couple Surly doctors' toes in an earlier post that suggested physicians' income and fees were one of those levers.
  19. I watch the animated content but don't read the books and comics. Apparently "Crimson Jack" is a space pirate during the rise of the First Order (25-30 years after Skeleton Crew). I don't know if/what the connection is. Probably just another fake alias Jude Law's character uses.
  20. The show is set in year 5 ABY, meaning about 24 years after Order 66. If the character is even close to Jude Law’s age (51), he’s older than Ahsoka and may be closer to Anakin’s age.
  21. SEC did a solid for ACL and F1 with no October home games.
  22. I'd prefer something like this (trading Framber for Correa, taking Springer off the Blue Jays' payroll, flipping Tucker for top prospects, trading Chaz and/or Jake for whatever they can get) over paying Bregman $400m. Someone send Dana a link to this thread.
