all old world shit but thats because i already own high-multiple techy stuff. already have a bunch of these and theyve been great for me.
what do you think the medical school application essays for aspiring proctologists are like?
”my dear grandparents and i were very close. when i was a young child, they became terminally ill from having lodged large foreign objects up their rectums. it then became my mission in life to restore people’s anal health and function, and save lives like theirs”
Last year's Citrus bowl of 2 non-elite 9-3 schools was meaningful to Illinois and SouthCar fans and 50,000 people in the stadium.
Viewership number of 6.5M was higher than ACC CCG and equal to B12 CCG.
I'm definitely watching the THIRD EVER matchup between 2 of the top 5 winningest teams of all time
2 bluebloods with recent success matching up on new years eve... im all for it.
they should tie nil payouts and bonuses to bowl game participation and wins, like they do for the coaching staff.
my wife says i keep on buying the same pair of glasses, and shes exactly right.
i guess its conservatism and lack of originality or whatever. i just bought like pair #5 of something that looks like exactly like this. not the 5th replacement pair because the prior ones were lost or broken, but the 5th concurrent pair, all different brands and stuff, but basically carbon copies of this
was just thinking about how in grade school, me and the neighborhood kids used to play tackle football at the park every saturday rain or shine.
in college i wanted to do it too, we could never gather enough people to do it who wasnt afraid of getting injured, etc. i thought it was super lame. (we managed once at clark field, and nobody got hurt).
anyway, now at my age, i wouldnt play if offered again. apparently my lower back is injured just from sleeping wrong for a few days.
Can’t think of any recent event that was halfway this good. Having no WMMA on main helped 🤣.
Nobody deserves the belt more than Yan. Got robbed in 2 straight decisions. Correct judging aside he’d be 22-3 (actually 23-2 without dumb DQ vs Aljo), with a string of title defenses and firm claim to greatest BW of all time.
Pantoja injury was fucking gnarlly. No dislocation, hyperextension, or bone fractures in this sport grossed me out more than this one. The first snap was nasty enough and the second splay just sickening. 🤢
The nuance is that Leclerc is an exceptional 1-lap racer, which exaggerated the Q results.
Trend wise their gap narrowed in the 2nd half of the season, before this recent bad run of form. Shit happens.
Maybe he needs Nicole Scherzinger back.
Some ways to separate the driver from the car is race consistency, control (eg tire management), and rain performance.
Throughout his career he’s been superb at all 3 and especially the rainmaster title its a class of 2 with him and verstappen.
Let's say Oscar is close in 2nd and fighting for a win. What's the team's legitimate argument for asking him drop places?
From their perspective they already secured WCC, which is the "real" objective of the sport and directly determines the rewards payout.
If you're Google or OKX (the title sponsor), having one of your driver winning WDC is great... but having your driver win the race is good too.
I'd say Texas is superior to Vandy, ND, Miami, and whatever high school team gets in by way of conference championship (Virginia, Tulane), and at the same time none of this group is worthy of being in anyway.
That's not the rule. Nobody is making that game or making that ex-post claim.
Is Ole Miss the de facto 2015 champion because they beat what would later, at the end of the season, turn out to be the #1 team in Alabama?
The rankings are as-best-determined at at time of record. They are not retroactively updated at the end - almost nothing in life works this way.
NCAA, ESPN, and the Texas Longhorns record the rankings contemporaneously. IMO this makes sense, because teams trend and the rankings tries -- imperfectly as it does -- to best reflect them.
You could argue that the earlier rankings are less reliable and try to unweight them, but the way its done is the way its done and is just as valid.
