  1. Ezra Klein talked about this on Friday and described Newsome as an old school politician. I’m paraphrasing, but he says “this is what people like and don’t like about Newsome. He does the things we expect politicians to do, like experiment and then pivot towards the things that are popular.” In other words, we’re all a little deranged living in an era of Trump in which he does all of the unpopular shit and seems to mostly get away with it.
  2. You think the SEC is going to let Michigan and OSU go to the ACC? I could also see a scenario where this results in a cross-conference divisional re-alignment, which is what all of this has been headed towards, anyway, with the top 50-60 revenue teams doing their own thing.
  3. I don’t think there’s any question they should leave, which probably accelerates the demise of the existing conference structures. There‘s about 7 schools in their conference that have at or less than $100m in athletic department revenue and the “haves” in the conference are all over $200m or have a patron with basically unlimited means (Oregon). That’s a lot of dead weight for OSU and Michigan to carry and I think they are figuring out that no one gives a shit to watch Rutgers play Purdue.
  4. 1. I think they are planning to grab some guys in the portal 2. They don’t like what they are seeing for guards among the high school players that have shown interest.
  5. CM has French Gruyère sold in blocks and German Gruyère sold pre-shredded. I’m a little down on their bakery, and their in-house restaurant is truly a shadow of itself, but the grocery part of the business is superb.
  6. I just tried making one of these with the Paris ham and fresh sourdough from Central Market and they are pretty great.
  7. I want to be mad at Trump voters for something like this, but it's what happens when Democrats surrender the state.
  8. Who had money on getting schooled by Harrison Barnes and Julian Champagnie as the difference in the game?
  9. Castle’s top knot is regarded. Durant is having a rough game. Two lazy passes in the 4th
  10. Fuck, impossible to defend Wemby on a fadeaway. Rockets are playing great besides some confusion on defense, San Antonio is hitting everything though.
  11. @billfromlaketravis Sheppard is having a great shooting game but Castle is abusing him on D, I get your frustration.
  12. This is my first Amazon broadcast-do they always feel like it’s 50% commercials?
  13. I ate a ton of this in Madrid but I can’t imagine trying to eat 16 lbs of it over the holidays.
  14. This Not with how we would use him.
  15. If we're basing this on physical aptitude then we might as well trade for Jalen Green. I'm not saying your position is ridiculous, just that it's inconsistent. Castle needs to clean up some things, so does Sheppard. I like that Sheppard is hitting 40% of his threes on a team that needs that more than it does Castle's usage rate.
  16. I hope this is true, but I’ll note there was the same push for free preventative care back when the Clinton’s introduced their healthcare plan in 1993, some of which was codified under the ACA, and it’s confounded economists that there wasn’t more evidence of savings as a result. Not entirely surprising, but it appears the GLP-1 drugs have the same kind of use/diet pattern as other reduced calorie treatments (I.e., cessation of use results in the the patient putting weight back on). That matters from a cost of treatment perspective since it’s basically a lifetime commitment for many.
  17. Just an fyi to the OP, I don’t think anyone else watched your movie.
  18. Fwiw, I still feel that way, despite early favorable returns. I also think it’s inconsistent to think Castle and his 5 TO per game is desirable but going through Reed’s growing pains are not.
  19. Haha, I Miss Trey Gowdy. He‘s proof that having 22 chromosomes doesn’t always end in a miscarriage.
  20. I had a good conversation with one of the leaders in the Austin Infill Coalition about this and there's plenty of interest on their side for building more affordable housing as long as they aren't sacrificing profit (and given this house in 78704, I think there's a good case to be made that higher value infill development is pretty risky at the moment). That said, I'm not sure how you put the genie back in the bottle otherwise. There's good scholarship that suggest home values are more a product of income and asset inflation than tight supply.
  21. I realize proximity has its advantages and the space is beautiful, but traveling and eating in Oaxaca ruined Fonda for me. It’s inferior food and drinks for twice the price.
  22. Let me add, I’m not mad at someone like Tim Dunn that wants to impose his weird, fringe beliefs on his fellows. I’m mad that the Chamber of Commerce types on the right who disagree with him have zero balls.
  23. Let’s be fair, they have ample hate for white evangelicals, too, particularly those actually following the lessons of the gospels. Only bad news for thee…
  24. Gerry reiterated that he’s in the class if Texas wants him but that Texas is looking around and might be prioritizing a juco who’s a cleaner/safer fit at nose.
  25. Texas is one of the highest profile collegiate competitors in any venue in which it appears and it just seems bad business to treat it as an invisible entity. He‘s right in that Duke’s perimeter D was outstanding.
