  1. Yeah, but can they drive it fast, .... and furious?
  2. Wasn't there supposed to be another ACC vote around noon today? Wasn't that part of the rumor package that was bundled with the "Stanford willing to take zero payout" stories. Please don't tell me someone on the Internet was just making shit up.
  3. I don't have a problem with this. She was actively pointing a gun at people and was an active threat. If you do stuff like that, you should expect the police to neutralize you.
  4. That's odd, 5 days, but only One Night In Bangkok:
  5. A commonly sited rule for Max HR when working out is "220-age". While there is no scientific basis for that rule, its a really good rule of thumb that works for most people. Based on that, her Orange Theory HR numbers aren't a concern as long as the HR drops off quickly when she stops the activity. Even the "close to 200" number isn't that out of band. The resting HR is more eyebrow raising. There are some people that have a high resting HR for no reason and it's fine, on the other hand there are a ton of bad things that can cause high HR. Here's an study looking at exactly that titled: "Association between resting heart rate and coronary artery disease, stroke, sudden death and noncardiovascular diseases: a meta-analysis" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5056889/ So tell your daughter to mention it to her doctor.
  6. Come on, man. You're not really saying that this guy: is better than THIS GUY: That kit goes to 11. OK, he may in fact be compensating for something.
  7. I don't believe they can if she resigns and is out of the Senate. What they can do is block a swap of membership on the judiciary committee if she is still in the Senate. Resign and the Dems could regain control; stay and it's basically deadlocked. Clearly from the photos and video that we've all seen, Feinstein is not making any decisions herself. Which means her staff has the power of a US Senator. I would assume they don't want to give up that power.
  8. As for "clouding test results", you're probably under the mistaken belief that roadside breathalyzer's are accurate. Or that Cops giving roadside test are honest. They aren't. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/03/business/drunk-driving-breathalyzer.html If you get pulled over, by all means, blow into one of them. There's probably a 50/50 chance it'll be correct. Having a legal limit of 0.0 is as bad of an idea as the Eighteenth Amendment.
  9. MADD was a good idea run amok. Plain and simple, when you lower the drinking limit below a reasonable level and then encourage PDs to over arrest for DUI, you destroy lives. Here's a nice money quote: https://www.statesman.com/story/news/local/2011/06/14/prosecutor-says-evidence-lacking-in/6703752007/ Of course Art Asshole went to Houston and did the the same shit: https://apnews.com/article/e5a5ea2314f54cb0bd08ad3b6344e585 (Houston police report sharp jump in drunken-driving arrests) Sucks for all thousands of people that got bogus arrests for DUI
  10. Son, if the whole world is against you, you probably need to take a good hard look in the mirror, because it's most likely you that's all fucked up.
  11. I spent the first 5 year of my career in Silicon Valley, and that was 100% my experience. Outsiders (non-students or alumni) are not welcome at the Stanford or Cal pregame tailgates. There is no community support in Palo Alto or Berkeley, unless someone is making a buck off it. And outside of alumni, nobody in the bay area give a single fuck about the so called 'big game'. I moved from the Bay Area to a Big-10 town, and it was amazing, the tailgates and fan support was the whole fucking town. Didn't matter where you were from or where you went to school, once you were there, you were welcome to join the party. Hell, I even bought a team sweat jacket for the year I was there. It will be some nice schadenfreude when Stanford and Cal drop to FCS.
  12. The remaining four PAC-4 teams need to think outside the box and turn the 2024 season into a must-watch spectacle. I'm thinking they should do some really crazy stuff like schedule the other three teams 3-times where: the scores carry over, but points count double in the 4th quarter of games 2 and 3. have a 'Throw-Back Toughest-Man' quarter where there are no subs and the 11 players have to play Offense and Defense. Or require 100 different players to get at least 5 minutes of playing time. Or require them to play all females for 1 quarter for one of the games. Make it such a train-wreck that people have to watch. .... but advertise it as a 1-season deal. Watch now or you'll never see this shit again. Fuck the NCAA and the NCAA-rule book, it's not like any of the 4 teams are going to be making the playoffs. Maybe hire an XFL or reality-TV producer to help or they could just buy me more vodka shots.
  13. How does UCLA plan to get around the California State-Funded travel ban? Four Big Ten States are on that list. Wait...2 Pac-12 states are on that list as well: AZ and UT. How is Cal or UCLA able to play games in either of those states?
  14. Apple wouldn't sell many Stanford streaming packages in Silicon Valley: nerdy white guys and Indian developers don't watch much football.
  15. Or maybe add Colorado State. Not a current P5 team so it might cause a $$ problem, but it stays in the Mountain time zone and there is a bit of nice symmetry with just having added Colorado. The big-12 could have an annual "Who's the big brother" weekend for the schools in Arizona, Kansas, Colorado, and Baylor/Houston/Tech/Tcu.
  16. Gott disagree with you there chief. There are limits of what's funny, and lines that shouldn't be crossed. Doesn't matter if it's race hatred, sexual assult, or religious intolerance, it's all evil shit. Taking something that one religion considers sacred and defiling it to fuck with them isn't funny. I put that shit in the same catagory as burning a cross on someone's yard or passing off sexual assult as hazing.
  17. Here's a PDF of the ACC GOR before it was renewed and extended to 2036: https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2022/07/01185531/ACC-Grant-of-Rights-1.pdf It's is only 4 pages long + signature pages and is allegedly based in part on the B12 GOR contract. A quick google search shows multiple lawyers quoted calling it ironclad. Texas and OU would have fought the Big12 one and bolted to the SEC sooner if they thought there was a way to do so. Unless the ACC caves, Florida State would seem to be in an un-winnable position. Talk is cheap, but if they FA it seems like they will FO. Source for the PDF: https://theathletic.com/3396108/2022/07/01/acc-grant-of-rights-staples/ Any lawyer's care to read a 4 pager and comment?
  18. Pssst, hey Chinese dudes. Are you 100% sure that you turned the center selector dial? Come on now. Not 99% sure. Cause not turning that dial will in fact get you a nice clean 0 resistance.
  19. 0 for 3 so far, but it's still early days. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LK-99 Group Country Status Result References Notes Huazhong University of Science and Technology China Results unavailable 2023-08-01: Video claiming to show diamagnetism of small (< 0.1 mm) flakes of LK-99.

  20. I've been following it with a slow but rapidly increasing interest. It sounded like just another BS claim at first, data is dribbling in and I want to Believe. A scientist at one of the Department of Energy's most prestigious labs (lawrence berkeley national laboratory) did a simulation of LK-99 and claims it is theoretically possible the real deal. A good summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LK-99
  21. Come on, Man. Let's not exaggerate. It was only 3.44 million fewer viewers. And Pac-x is losing their 2 biggest draws. Change that Championship Game to Utah vs Washington and it probably falls below the American Conference. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/
  22. Serious question, do many/most people pay for streaming sports on the Internet? I'm not saying I use sportsurge.net, and similar sites, but a friend told me they have virtually every game.
  23. Unfortunately, Notre Dame is more like an average looking girl on TikTok, who thinks she is hotter than she really is, but who actually has millions of followers. You have you ask yourself Why? These are Notre Dame's games on national TV last year and how the ranked against all other games: Week 13 - 3rd Week 12 - 11th Week 11 - 9th Week 10 - 4th Week 9 - 7th Week 8 - Week 7 - 8th Week 6 - 8th Week 5 - Week 4 - 4th Week 3 - 7th Week 2 - 6th Week 1 -1st https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/ ND is one of the only teams, if not the only team, that can make a go of it as an Independent.
