  1. The show is okay, most of the characters kinda suck and the story isn't that interesting, BUT Aemond is that dude. He risked life and limb to subdue the dragon, lost an eye and didn't cry, is now a beast with them sticks as shown in the yard and I loved his reply to illustrate bigger picture vision and hunger "Ayo, don't care about your stupid dress-up mock court, dog. I'll let these blades sing in blood, bruh.". Then he had a funny plausible deniability diss before he ate little brown hair boys weak little right cross like it was an hor devours. The only guy he respects is the guy who sliced Vaemond's head like it was a cartoon ham, had him looking like Among Us with his head bone sliced in half. And I think Daemon respects Aemond too with his similar hairstyle and personality and similar misshaped and unattractive face, as you saw with a little smirk and nod. The showdown will be cool with Daemon versus Aemond as Aemond will be the lead dog for Alicent in her battle as her creepy perverted eldest will just be a drunk pervert.
  2. I read it was because Poole called him "Triple Single" after scoring on him. Also, this situation has been helpful because you can easily filter the clowns by looking at those who are defending Draymond.
  3. It's not about winning and losing eh? Sounds like a fake fan, to me.
  4. The trailer looks cool. I love Jack Black, could not care less about Mario and his lack of a posterior or Chris Pratt's normal voice, but Illumination is the best in the animation game (sorry Pixar), so they've earned the benefit of the doubt that this will be good-to-great.
  5. Y'all inspired me to google Patton's wife-- apparently died with cocaine, fentanyl and xanax in the system which she abused to cope with the darkness she delved into with her serial killer / true crime stuff. When you stare into the abyss, it stares back, I guess.
  6. I read this today and thought of this horrible thread with all you horrible people in it:
  7. I read this morning that Biden is ready to lift sanctions so we can drill in Venezuela again. That seems cool and good.
  8. Just caught up. Really not sure why I keep watching this show. It's like if NBC were to air a marvel comedy in primetime for the women and gays demographic (in the vein of Friends or Will & Grace), but without the cultural relevance. I think I'm outtie five-thousy.
  9. Well, who doesn't like to see the lawyers being the winners in all this as usual? The key players: Musk is represented by Skadden on the deal side and by Skadden and Quinn Emanuel in litigation. Top partners at the firms bill about $2,000 an hour. Lawyers estimated to DealBook that the firms could be charging about $30,000 to $40,000 an hour, or $5 million to $8 million a month. That means Musk could have paid about $50 million, plus perhaps another $50 million in the run-up to litigation. Twitter relied on Wilson Sonsini and Simpson Thacher, where top partners also most likely bill about $2,000 an hour, for deal work. And for litigation it’s primarily relying on Wachtell, the blue-chip firm known in legal circles for its bespoke (and opaque) pricing, including hourly billing, flat fees and contingency deals. Depending on its arrangements, Wachtell could bring in $100 million to $200 million, lawyers estimate. Between those firms alone, the Twitter case has probably already generated about $150 million to $300 million in fees. But then add in all of the other lawyers involved in litigation, depositions, the deal and more. And that figure could grow if this actually goes to trial, or otherwise goes awry.
  10. Bad take. If the ball is worth $2mm (which I read earlier today is an estimate), jumping down and risking minor (in this case, zero) injury in order to potentially get the ball is smart. You are already good odds for winning the "lottery" being 1 in 50k or whatever the crowd size was, but being in that front row puts you at like 1 in 200 or something. It was a good bet, didn't work out.
  11. ESPN had an interesting piece on their front page today digging into Jimbo and asking if his offense is too complex. Funny that A&M is getting some not-great PR on the national level. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34726883/the-state-texas-football-big-money-coach-struggling-offense-plenty-questions
  12. I think in the end, business history will remember that Bret Taylor was not afraid of Big Bad Elon and beat him. That's a skin on the wall.
  13. I should qualify that I say all that above ^^ as a fan of the Mavs. I have the Luka 1's I wore to the Fair actually and Nike hasn't even officially released them yet, to give an indication of how much I like Luka and the Mavs.

  15. Will cross-post on the bball thread, but went to the Mavs Vault at the Hall of State Building it wasn't worth the time. If you are a Mavs fan you already know all this stuff anyways, and there are some game worn jerseys you can look at (is that supposed to be cool and awe-inspiring?) with the big center piece being the display of the 2011 Championship trophy. I assumed it was a high-quality replica for roadshows like this one, but this video claims it's real. If you are a passionate MFFL (like weirdly into the Mavs not just a big fan) you would probably like it. If you are limited on time and/or don't want to walk all the way over to that side of the Fair ground from Midway, I'd pass. https://www.fox4news.com/video/1124594
  16. Does he now know that? The show seems to take great pains to show us that Viserys is a very weak man and leader who is pot-committed to his denial of in-your-face-reality and general delusions around his daughter (and family, as it extends to Daemon as well). And to your last point, I think this last episode showed that when escalated to a choose one or the other he backs his daughter, 10 years of earworming or not.
  17. Good episode. Still don’t like Otto and think it’s weird he’s just back in the role of hand after being fired for being sus. This is lazy writing of inviting the fox, who you know is a fox, back into the hen house in service of making your plot work easier.
  18. To think, this is all because of Bill Hwang. From yesterday which is a good reality check:
  19. I was reading the rumors of credit suisse's dying is greatly exaggerated. Where are you people seeing it's happening. link me.
