  1. I swear to god, Manchester city really should have to subsidize us at this point. We have had more to do with their league titles the last few years than they have. this sport is dumb.
  2. while standing around looking up at the 450 gigantic trees i have at my house after wrangling all the huge fallen stuff together in a pile, i gave a good 8 seconds of thought to taking my wife's hair dryer to one of the seriously sagging oaks.
  3. dude, they are trying to sell the club before they get relegated and lose broadcast money. they have no other revenue. they are going to lose so much fucking money that it's going to make it impossible. oh, and they're halfway through building a new stadium. things really looking great for the toffees.
  4. wow. holy shit. presumably it is 1/10th of whatever the two manchester clubs did.
  5. In the heart of Westlake, sounds like Fallujah outside. While clearing entire trees and piling shit up outside, I have watched six major veins or entire trees just give in entirely on my street in that half hour. Tree services in central texas about to get rich. temps need to get above freezing asap…I’m about to take a hairdryer outside.
  6. that was like 200 pounds ago.
  7. i would happily trade games against noobs vs. keeping virtually any existing team besides maybe kansas or iowa state. at houston for texas = requirement that someone post pic of 2002 temporary stands.
  8. actually, as i look at it, cincinnati is the team that benefits the most. they avoid the two purple teams in the conference final game last year, texas, and tech. edit: okie state plays all four noobs and dropped all four previous big 12 texas teams. what in the ever loving fuck? are they running conference admin or something?
  9. ou got some seriously favorable treatment. they get three of the noobs and drop kstate, baylor, and tech who all beat them last year.

    this place and its constituents will never not be amazing to me. we had a complete fucking disaster mid-ride on this season because of one person's utter emotional stupidity and immaturity and despite that, we have a top ten team that halfway through conference, is going to be sitting atop the conference alone after tonight in the hardest god damn basketball conference i can remember in a long time. doesn't mean they will hold that spot or anything but they are competing in a way we haven't in well over a decade. on top of that, the team is actually kind of fun to watch and very easy group of guys to like and root for. despite that, we have dipshits that are so committed to trying to appear more basketball savvy then the rest of the board, that they claim the season's results heretofore warrant ambivalence.
  11. When I was going through my first delusional I’m going to be a guitar god phase in my early teens in the early 90’s, I loved DS. I resolved that the first solo I was going to learn on my piece of shit squire strat was going to be the sultans solo. my dad said you may want to start with something a bit more appropriate for a beginner and I of course rejected that entire premise like a early teens boy and so my dad said FAFO. i made it about two hours. the brothers in arms album is one the cleanest record/mix/mastering jobs ever done imo.
  12. this is so utterly insane that i figured it was being somehow misrepresented or mischaracterized. i went to the source to try and understand what possible pretext the athletic's association panel could possibly have had in recommending this or what type of nuance was attached to possibly justify such an obviously outrageous privacy violation... couldn't find one. i cannot believe how committed the state of florida is to trying to make the state of texas not look like the biggest collection of dumbfucks possible.
  13. in case anyone isn't familiar with the music that transported you... phenomenal live concert version.
  14. dyche to everton is official. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/breaking-new-everton-manager-dyche-29069402
  15. or fundraise from the petrostate teams by selling gordon to newcastle. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12796776/anthony-gordon-newcastle-united-close-to-agreeing-fee-with-everton-for-winger

    man, the timing of this most recent raid into the Jenin camp and its similarity of the new season of fauda that just dropped on netflix is presumably fortuitous i guess?
  19. gee, i can't imagine why whatever woman that was dumb enough to allow herself to get knocked up by this dipshit didn't want to see the pregnancy through...
  20. that would be nice but the real explanation is far more boring unfortunately. it is entirely a function of different wavelengths of light and what scatters light at each wavelength. you'll notice that in the optical image from hst (which is optical), there does not appear to be a hole but instead light, (blueish colored) non-dense dust and gasses. in jwst, it looks like it is just an empty hole of space. that is because jwst is capturing the infrared wavelength instead of optical. infrared is a longer wavelength than the visible light from hst and passes through denser regions of space than optical without the light scattering...meaning it looks like nothing is there. so the distant high energy infrared light sources appear to just pass through the gas/dust untouched through a hole even thought it isn't really a hole. it's just a non-dense area of dust/gas and matter in that portion of the galaxy in which the infrared just passes right through without scattering. you see the same thing in the top right of the image. a terrible, but easily understood analogy would be imagine everything in the left picture is skin. that's what we see when we look at it with our eyes. now imagine everything on the right is bones. when we look at it in x-ray wave lengths, it looks like the skin goes away and all that is left is bones. sure, there was non-dense skin that doesn't scatter x-ray light there, but there are no bones either so it looks like a big hole in the image. why there is such a drastic change in density there is simply a function of the governing dynamics of galactic formation.
  21. in for a few k. first order of business. all out assault to sign mbappe and haaland to take over the attacking roles.
  22. i think you have that all right except it wasn't matt gaetz she claimed stalked her kid. it was man named laurent hetu that she alleges was hired by gaetz to do so. but yes, the case was dismissed for a lack of evidence. so that does not bode well for this little momentary outrage. gaetz is clearly a piece of shit but rebekah jones is not being forthcoming in the verifiable stuff so it is casts a serious skepticism over anything she offers.
  23. one more, this is the chamaeleon molecular cloud 630 light years away. it is extremely cold to the point that it is comprised of complex ice molecules including ammonia, methane, methanol, carbonyl sulfide... this is essentially the cloud of shit that is necessary to start forming stellar nurseries and planets.
  24. lots of cool new stuff... just like they did with neptune, jwst turned its near infrared cameras on jupiter to generate this image. you can make out its faint rings and auroras at its poles. the white dot at the left edge of the rings is one of its moons and only 20 km in diameter...pretty wild to resolve that. brighter white dot to the left of the image is a 150 km diameter moon. here are some resolved clouds on saturn's moon titan. some higher resolution, zoomed in shots in infrared of the hydrogen jets and outflows from new star formations in the carina nebula. here is an image of the debris disk resulting from a red dwarf star. the star is 32 light years away yet they resolved these images which are about 60 astronomical units wide (1 astronomical unit is distance from sun to earth). so this is looking at a diameter about the same as the distance between the sun and jupiter from 32 light years away. this is insane. the blue image is at a wavelength where finer dust particles scatter the light and and the orange image is larger material. here's a look at the heart of the phantom galaxy comparing the famous hst optical images with the jwst (along with a composite). amazing how much more shit is there than we can see (right click to check out full size).
