  1. I’m sure that matters on the margins, but I think the tier of athlete we’re recruiting to be in the championship conversation knows his worth and is going to prioritize NIL, development, and playing time.
  2. He and McWhorter were also the two biggest gossips on the coaching staff so we should have more insider leaks to look forward to.
  3. I agree with you, but bear in mind the entire country’s senior leadership has been essentially kowtowed under threat of mean tweets in ALL CAPS!!!
  4. I’m not a real big fan of “negging” on principle. I think it’s useful for crowdsourcing but otherwise it’s kind bullying.
  5. That was a really weird trailer (particularly the music) given the tenor of season one.
  6. We had the carrots and onion rings. I thought the steak was good but a little underwhelmed given the pedigree. Best part was Evan Leroy slicing it at the table and giving him a hard time about being a celebrity chef now.
  7. It’s not really about the mortgage per se, it’s setting up the deed so that its joint tenancy with right of survivorship. Any lender can do that on a conventional loan but you’ll probably freak them out since it’s uncommon enough they may not have seen it. It’s also not a solution for stepmom to neglect estate planning (as a good attorney will tell you).
  8. Personally, I would tell the agent that we’ve negotiated a deal between ourselves but want to credit him in some way because of the prior agreement. Then ask him what he would suggest. You can still decline whatever that is if it’s too much, but he‘s most likely going to ask for something reasonable (or nothing at all), and then it’s him making that decision rather than you making it for him (and therefore he’ll be happier with it, which is what this is presumably all about, anyway).
  9. I was at a birthday party a few years ago that had a tasting of about five different Japanese whiskeys and I loved them all. I have a bottle of Yamazaki 18 I bought during Covid and I just don’t like it and gave up trying to pretend.
  10. Omg, I’ve never seen that before it was glorious.
  11. I think the Dems are a little paralyzed but also following the apocryphal Napoleon quote "when your enemy is making a false move, don't interrupt him." You'll see them get more coverage once there's more discontent amongst the middle and middle-right. You've already got the Bernie Sanders folks and they are the fun police. I like your idea that it needs to come from the bottom up, though. The DNC and elites in the party are totally ignored by the huge swath of young people who don't consume legacy media.
  12. They can’t do that shit, they are institutionalists. Don’t you want them to stand for something besides externalizing your frustration?
  13. I actually think they’ll be hiring a bunch of staff aug consultants from Deloitte and CGI and the funding won’t be considered part of the agency budget (and they’ll be able to tout labor cost savings when the bottom line is actually worse). Of course, we’ll be in a recession by then because firms will have fully pulled back on spending with the increase in unemployment. It’s quite a statement on the current state of affairs that it’s the silver lining.
  14. This is more for @chainsaw, but as an avid consumer of center left media I can tell you the Dems are running all kinds of ideas out there but nothing is getting traction besides Biden fucked us. Maybe they are better off as a lifestyle/culture brand with political leanings. That’s basically what MAGA is. I do think it’s interesting that a lot of Dem office holders are going to great pains to say “look at how heterodox my views are!”
  15. Someone in the Navy is adjacent enough to the USMC to well understand getting fucked by the green weenie.
  16. I think they had successfully hidden the loss of range behind their shift strategy, and the rules change away from that made it more of an acute problem.
  17. I was going to add something about that second point but deleted it and yes, it’s hard not to root for an athlete that’s been grinding in the minors for ten years that’s finally made the show. For an actor, it’s also a reminder on how talented a lot of these performers are even if they’re not getting cast as leads in more visible productions. Pos rep for the Sneakers reference, perfect film.
  18. If we're depending on JP France to do more than pitch for a couple of weeks because a starter is on the 7 or 10 day DL then we're in trouble.
  19. I lost interest when they made it to the Arctic, that’s maybe ep 3 or 4. Does it get better? And this is in spite of the fact that I’m secretly in love with Anna Sawai (Jon Lovitz voice “or actually, it’s Anna that’s in love with me!”)
  20. My hairy ass prediction is he’s up before Matthews. He’s still looks kind of skinny fat.
  21. Unfortunately they will aim their ire locally instead of the appropriate direction.
  22. I think he takes breaks from surly, particularly when there isn’t a reason to remind everyone that LSU is better than us. Plus, I think he’s friendly with @Brisketexan who would let us know if there was cause for worry (or a well-check, he’s been open about his addiction recovery).
  23. I think the genie is out of the bottle there as college football increasingly resembles the NFL. Fans still support regional teams for emotional, personal reasons (me excepted because fuck you Bud Adams, I hope your hell is being forced to watch the 1993 Bills comeback for eternity) even if the players are mostly self interested in their careers. I do wonder if there’s an inevitable collision at some point between college football revenue growth and the NFL because kids aren’t watching or playing football like previous generations.
  24. Not bullshit but also not the panacea for the consumer that it sounds like. Let me give you an example; Joe Smith bought his house in 2018 for $300k, put down 3.5% on and FHA loan, and now wants to sell it (and his 2.5% interest rate) as an FHA assumable loan). The problem is that his house is now worth $500k, he owes $275K, so the new buyer will need to come up with $225k to assume a loan whose PRIMARY utility in the marketplace is to make homebuying more attainable for borrowers lacking great credit and/or more than 3.5% for down-payment. The other shit part is that the assumption (and this is covered upthread) takes 45-“who knows how many” days for the assumption process to conclude and most sellers are going to prefer someone with a predictable timeline. That said, it’s something to sell in a crowded marketplace and there’s probably niche cases (FHA multifamily, VA Jumbo) where it’s far more likely to be utilized.
