  1. I get your premise, and the quality of play in the womens game has improved, but the uphill battle for women's basketball that UFC didnt have to compete with is there is direct competition in the same sport. People who want to watch basketball have mens college and pro to choose from, multiple games every day, and the quality of play is superior to the women's version. You could argue UFC had completion from boxing, but 1) those are different sports, and 2) boxing is not ubitiquous like basketball. The casual fan would watch 3 nights of fights per year, at most.
  2. i bought another 2k shares earlier today to get my avg down under $11. Up to 8k shares now.
  3. Trinidad isn't there yet. But looks like it may start reaching more of it's potential in the coming years.
  4. Fuckin' A this. I look forward to the Amarillo to Crested Butte stretch every summer. Getting to Amarillo sucks, though. The one town we've been driving through for 20 years that I never understood is Trinidad. It always struck me as a town that has a lot of potential, but the population has been between 9-10k for the past 60 years. It sits at the base of a really cool mountain. From the highway it looks like it should have a historic downtown with breweries, restaurants, an art district, etc. It has fairly mild winters by Colorado mountain standards and hot summer days/cool summer nights. Access to fishing. I never understood why it wasn't more of an outdoors destination town. Then I found out that much of the land around Fisher's Peak was privately owned. That changed in 2019 apparently. https://www.singletracks.com/mtb-trails/colorados-next-great-mtb-destination-plans-to-build-up-to-100-miles-of-singletrack/ May need to start looking at property.
  5. and now UUUU dips below $5. Time to buy and make a little money in 3 months when it inevitably goes above $6.
  6. Sold mine this morning. Thanks for the tip. Made close to $20k.
  7. Much like the Oxford comma, spaces can really change the interpretation of a sentence. Dude is out there just making a living, and fucking tourists are calling him dumb.
  8. I hate you.
  9. I've long been of the opinion that "Shook me all night long" is the greatest rock song ever recorded. It's probably only around #5 of my favorite AC/DC songs, but in terms of greatest, it checks all the boxes better than others. Great guitar intro Memorable chorus that's easy to sing to Good solo Tight 3 1/2 min length Lyrics fit "rock and roll". It gets in, rocks your face off, then gets out.
  10. Need to get him to the Stonks thread so he can invest in some slow movers. I think we could put together a top 10...errr top 50 list pretty easily.
  11. I've never done the dried chile thing. Is there a downside to cutting the stems off, grinding them, and adding to the pot vs the rehydrate method?
  12. Cost basis below $10? Must be nice.
  13. UUUU back down to around $5. Time to buy and set sell price of $6.50. That thing is a rollercoaster between ~$5 and ~$7. You can buy/sell 2-3 times a years just playing between those levels.
  14. But at least they are undisciplined with a low basketball IQ. JFC this is a tough team to watch.
  15. i stopped making my own because it's too damn easy to buy these. But I like your idea of cutting the bacon lengthwise.
  16. Was "It's a Small World" played on a recorder done through editing, or was there actually something playing that song at the crash site? Because it's a strange song to pick during editing but somehow unintentionally hilarious if that's real.

    Austin FC

    I don't follow the team super closely, but Driussi's drop in form has been pretty remarkable. He's not that old. Maybe this is just who he is and 2022 was the outlier.
  18. He's not 68% from 40 and closer. That kick the other day was the first he's missed inside of 40yards all season. He has been terrible from beyond 40 yards, but I don't call that a "gimme", especially for a college kicker. That's what I was challenging. I don't disagree he's in his own head on longer kicks, because he clearly has a strong leg and has had success from 40+ yards in previous seasons. But those aren't gimmes.
  19. Let me start by saying he has regressed from last year. But what do you consider a "gimme" in college? Bert was 9 of 9 inside of 40 yards before the one he missed one to win it the other day. Do you consider 40-45 yards a gimme? These are college kids, not pros. Place kicking has come so incredibly far in the last 20 years that I'm not sure anyone remembers when 50-52 yards was considered the far end of NFL kickers range. Place kicking is so technical and can be just like golf with the yips. Or when you line up over a putt and the hole looks the size of a ball. It happens. These kids aren't pros. But there's a reason I tell my 13 year old if he can kick the ball consistently from 45 yards he can get a scholarship to a good school. He's in 7th grade and is pretty solid from 32 and in right now.
  20. Or eat cabrito only for eternity out of spite
  21. What was your process for getting the CM dough ready to cook? How long to thaw?
