    My wife (no pics) is on a team that that does accounting for the research arm and half of her team is not in Austin. Let's say there was not good communication on this. Her boss didn't know until the letter was sent out.

    Speaking of room temperature IQs, why y'all keep quoting Crispy? You're defeating my ignore.

    Love the setting. Really captured the feeling of the time when the wall came down. One of my favs. Charlize is perfect.

    I don't know if they can file a protest on this, but I would if I could. That is, by far, the worst call I've seen in years and that's saying something. Ump show.

    To me this highlights one of "AI"s biggest failings. Will it ever understand parody, satire, sarcasm, etc? Seems like 90% of the content on the internet is people making funny (to them) comments and absurdities for humor or whatever. AI in it's current state is just an information collator that doesn't even understand the information it's using. People say it will get better, but I just don't see it. It's basically an autistic person with unlimited memory. It can regurgitate but will never understand enough of the subtlety of human thought and communication to be in any way useful as a tool except in very limited circumstances.

    Another fine Keanu Reeves masterpiece.

    I think it was Speed.

    I got one of those umpiring slow pitch softball of all things. Ball bounced of the packed ground and straight up. I was wearing a cup, but when it comes from below like that it doesn't protect very well. I sympathize.

    My favorite one was when they were talking to Mookie Betts during a spring training game his first year with the Dodgers. Ball smoked down the right field line as they pause for the pitch. Mookie: "Uh oh! Not gonna get that one!"

    Make sure you stay for the credits. You won't be disappointed.

    Ditto. Captured the spirit of the TV show perfectly and it's fucking hilarious. The stunts are fantastic. Really fun movie.

    He's on trial for falsifying business records to cover up the payoff. All the election interference, affair cover up stuff is just to make it look more interesting.

    Y'all don't have Make em eat taco bell on ignore? I'm sorry for you. Wrong but never in doubt is his MO.

    My Dad could have written this. His loathing of horses from my Mom having a couple is unbounded. He said they violate his brain/body size ratio.

    I enjoyed the movie. Highly fictionalized might be an understatement. On the actual Operation Postmaster, there were, in fact, no Nazis, no uboats, and no explosions. It was actually just a well executed cutting out of the freighter and the tugs. It did demonstrate the effectiveness of the SOE and SSRF in conducting raids to stymie the German war effort. It's a lot more fun to see a bunch of Nazis slaughtered though.

    The Sometimes islands are just the highest points on a big ass stone ridge that was the right bank of the river before it was dammed. It might make that area of the lake more navigable but to clear any significant amount of material would involve blasting a shit ton of rock once you got down a little ways. You should look at the topographical map of the lake and you'll see what I mean.

    Hahahahahaha. Ref show baby!

    Horseshit.

    Do people talk to each other any more? How about "Excuse me, your hair is blocking my TV." Maybe she did that and was ignored but I doubt it. I see it all the time. Clueless person does something clueless. Other person fumes and/or acts out. In my experience most times the person will respond positively to a simple request.

    Tigers are excellent swimmers and love water so I'm still gonna take the tiger in that match up just based on weaponry available.

    It occurred to me several years ago that if I could time travel, it's not the big events I'd go to see. The more I've thought about it, the more sad it gets, because what I'd really do is go back to the 80s and eat at all the restaurants I miss. GM Steakhouse, Green Mesquite before it burnt down and they forgot how to make a chicken fried steak, and many more. I'd also probably go back about 300 years and fish the bays for reds and trout with no limits.

    You're correct. That was one of my only issues was the compression of the timeline. I wanted to see how they'd handle St. Alia of the Knife. I wish they had kept the longer timeline. No reason they couldn't have, but creative choices have to be made. The Chani story line also irritated me, but I still liked the movie.

    Congratulations refs. You made what could have been a good game utterly unwatchable. Nice work

    The best part of that clip is right after the shot goes in and the Nevada players run in all different directions as they try to figure out where to celebrate.
