  1. Nice comeback win. Now, I'm certainly no hockey expert but re: the hit on Lyubushkin that put him out of the game, it seems to me like we've been called for boarding for less than that one. Why no call there? I'm sure there's just some distinction that I'm missing, but hell if I know what it is. What am I missing?
  2. If you like racing photography and cool background stories, check out this thread over on Autosport. Someone starts one like it every F1 offseason, counting down the days until the opening GP with pics of cars, bikes, racing aircraft, racing boats, and more with the corresponding numbers. Hundreds of great and/or interesting motorsport pics from all eras, often with background writeups about the cars and/or their drivers, the races they raced in, etc. About 500 posts so far. Good stuff. https://forums.autosport.com/topic/227400-t-minus-98-days-and-counting-the-annual-countdown-thread/
  3. Yeah, I was waiting for this to come up. It's not like we own it or can control what anyone calls it. So incredibly stupid ...
  4. "We're going to rename Scotland ‘The Golf Of America’ and turn it to the biggest, best golf course the world has ever seen. Nobody's ever seen a whole-country golf course like this one. It’s gonna be amazing. Tremendous. The people there want it. They love America. They love Trump! MAKE SCOTLAND GREAT AGAIN!"
  5. Danish king changes royal coat of arms in apparent rebuke of Trump over Greenland row https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/europe/trump-greenland-denmark-king-coat-arms-b2674586.html
  6. So, one state ....................................... that's larger than all the rest of the states combined. How many electoral votes would they get under his plan? One?
  7. Bro. Heat is heat. WTAF? Dude is a straight up moron. If you voted for this clown again, please set yourself on fire, right after you choke yourself on a bag of dicks.
  8. He already threw in the towel on the inflation fight, because, you know, it's hard to lower prices once they go up (no shit, genius).
  9. Pretty much identical to what happened to me on a flight not long ago. Due said he had no choice, but he couldn't have been more than 5'9". I said if he'd actually sit up in his seat he wouldn't need to dig his knees into my back. He scooted his ass back in the seat. Never another problem the whole flight. "No choice" my ass.
  10. Reminds me of one of the greatest quotes in the history of cinema: "There are some things that I like to get straight up front so that there are no misunderstandings later on. I do not do animal acts. I do not do s&m or any variations of that particular bent. No watersports either. I will not shave my pussy. No fistfucking, and absolutely no coming in my face. I get $2000 a day and I do not work without a contract".
  11. 100%. Lived a block up the hill from there in 2001 while we were building our house. Woodmeade, with Panama Myers and some other UT hoops guys living upstairs. Chicks would knock on our door at 3am thinking they were at those dudes' apt lol. Imagine their surprise when I opened the door. Nice enough apartment complex, but on almost any night we could hear gunfire from our balcony. Also worked that area in AFD for about 20 years. There's all kinds of bad shit going down over there. Not the worst area of town, but sneaky dangerous even back then, and it's gotten a lot worse.
  12. 1. COTA. 2. COTA's $500+ Million in subsidy payments so far from the State of Texas MERP subsidy, enabled by Gov. Hot Wheels, and increasing annually.
  13. Wow. Following Karch the goat? No pressure! I'm sure he'll do a fantastic job though. Congrats, Coach!
  14. If Bond - Isaiah Bond - goes under the radar anytime soon, I think we'll know why.
  15. Este.
  16. Some of us have said it for more than a decade. Glad to see that more people are finally catching on ...
  17. This is a big problem I see with FSD, Tesla or otherwise - this inability to detect, interpret correctly, and handle roadway features like this one or subtler ones at construction zones with traffic patterns changing by the day etc. Afaik the other guys doing it are in another universe of better performance than Tesla's FSD, and even with them it would worry me. Tesla being allowed to run this shit is fucking nuts, esp with all their heavy-ass vehicles. The construction of the new freeway through and around the Y in Oak Hill is a perfect example, with new white & yellow lines frequently being painted while the old ones are still visible because they didn't grind 'em off well enough. It's a mess.
