  1. What a weird take for 2021. If this was 2007 or 2008 when SpaceX was unproven and Tesla was struggling to be more than just a flash in the pan, you could legitimately call Musk the "embodiment of our house of cards economy". But this is 2021 and Musk has delivered the goods on so many fronts.
  2. I am very disappointed in Mr. McAfee. I was expecting a Dead Man's Switch to be triggered by now to release his cache of files showing government corruption and proving the US was out to get him. Come on man, you can do it.
  3. I don't know. I'm not saying R&M has jumped the shark, but S5E1 didn't do it for me. I'm crossing my fingers that E2 is better.
  4. So is this going to be like John Wick, but with a Pig....and no killing?
  5. My upstairs AC started to intermittently stop blowing cold air this weekend. It's old and I replaced the downstairs one last October so I was expecting the upstairs one to go out this year or next. I'm having the same company put the same Carrier model in, just a 1/2 ton smaller and it's $1,600 more expensive than last October. Not only that, the technician says that (like a lot of industries) supply chain issues are starting to hit hard. He says they are seeing a growing wait time to get basic parts and is being told it's going to get worse as the summer goes on. A guick google search seems to show he wasn't BSing. Lots of stories like https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/the-heat-is-here-and-air-conditioning-parts-units-are-in-short-supply/ I guess it's better it went out at the beginning of the summer
  6. My Primary Care Physician wasn't much help either other than a referral to a Urologist. The Urologist could actually answer my questions that the internet was unclean on and suggested a plan of action. I'd highly suggest going that route.
  7. Da Faq? His own Son? I almost don't want to believe the story for that reason. If anyone molested one of my kids, I would hurt them really really bad. I wouldn't turn a blind eye to molesting other kids, but I probably wouldn't dole out justice on my own.
  8. Getting old Sucks. My latest physical came back with testosterone in the mid 200 range. Urologist is having me start on testosterone injections. The web pages describing what to expect are like a wish list. If I get half the benefit describe on the web it'll be like a fountain of youth.
  9. My first reaction was that can't possibly be the victim. If it is, there's no amount of makeup and wig that's hiding that Adam's apple. I guess the guy was so preoccupied with scoring that he wasn't looking what team they were on.
  10. That sounds like every Aussie I've ever met. Fun Folks.
  11. From 2000 to 2009 the guy went 110-17. That is an elite coach. That was a damn fine time to be a Texas fan. Screw the haters. We should have a Mac Brown statue outside the stadium.
  12. I don't know what type rich-white-ass-country-club pick up games the OP grew up with, but on the mean streets of middle-class america where I'm from there ae no refs or quarters or fouls. WE keep it real. My picks for a "real" pickup game would be Jordan Bird Shaq Rick Mahorn or Bill Laimbeer Steph Curry
  13. Maybe it's a misdirection, but it feels like the trailer gives everything but the final twist ending away. I don't need to see the whole movie, I just need to watch about 2 minutes near then end.
  14. The first couple minutes of the song show some signs of potential, but it never really develops. By the end of the song, it's just yet-another-preachy-spoken-word song like virtually all the rest of his solo stuff.
  15. What learned from the other thread about fighting animals is that nature is scary....But damn, that thing is so cute. googlegooglegoogle Nope.
  16. The biggest question in my mind is how many more years can Lebron play at a meaningful level. I took a peek at his career stats ( https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jamesle01.html ) and its freaky how consistent he's been. He's barely lost a step on the stat sheet. I was thinking I would see a clear decline, and it's really not there. He's finishing season 18 now. Can he stay at his current level for seasons 19-22. He may be one of the GOAT, but I'd go with the odds and say no he won't be a factor over the next four years. Maybe next year, but the drop off is coming. So in my mind it's take Lebron and get 1 solid year or someone else for four. To maximize my shot over four years, I'd pass on Lebron and take any of these guys to build around: Jokic, Embiid, Gannis, Zion, Curry, Luka, KD, Kawhi, or Gobert
  17. Imagine if you said that about Vince Young. Think how stupid that would be. You're pretty much at that level of stupid. Tebow was not below average and he was miles better than Sam. His game may not have translated to the Pro level, but in college he was elite. Saying otherwise is either trolling or hatred.
  18. Those teams with Eaton, Stockton and Malone were when I first started watching the NBA. I hated when my team played them; the pick-and-rolls, and the Blocks. I loved to hate those teams, but in a good fan-of-another-team way. I have a lot of good memories from the NBA from that period, and Eaton played a part in that. RIP big guy. 64 is just to soon. In case anyone else is curious, this is the road he crashed on. Sadly, I'd put my money on a Heart Attack as the cause of the crash.
  19. Did the Old West Lynch Mobs leave paper trails?
  20. I think the highest profile one I've heard of was the Golden State Killer. Patton Oswald's late wife wrote a true-crime book about the serial killer and as a result, they took a fresh look at the case and submitted crime scene DNA to GEDMatch. They got a match to someone with a common "great-great-great-great grandfather dating back to the 1800s". Grunt work from there narrowed it to two, and DNA from a trash can nailed the guy. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2020/08/22/patton-oswalt-honors-late-wife-after-golden-state-killer-sentencing/3418986001/
  21. Back in the summer of 1980 between middle school years, I had a classmate who was raped and killed. Her naked body was found floating in a river with dozens of stab wounds. Really Brutal Stuff. I didn't really know her and probably only talked to her maybe one time, but that was the first, and only, time I've known someone who was murdered. It always bother me that they never caught the killer. Once the internet became a thing, every few years I'd google her name for the heck of it. Nothing ever popped up and I didn't expect that it ever would, but about 6 years ago, almost 35 years after the murder, google returned a hits to a cold case blog. The blog went viral and was picked up in other regional media. The attention from that blog lead to a cold case unit being formed in the county. A couple weeks ago I googled her name again, and holy fuck, they charged someone with the murder. 40 damn years. That's amazing.
  22. A hammer museum? Gonna pass on that one. NTTAWWT
  23. Let's do it again. Let's NOT do it again. Let's wait to do it again....again https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/31514222/major-japan-newspaper-demands-tokyo-olympics-canceled Already: No International Spectators...including personal coaches Athletes urged not to arrive more than 5 days before they compete and and leave within two days of their final competition. Any positive test will be sent to a government-run isolation facility Athletes are not permitted to leave the Village for sightseeing activities No late-night parties in the athlete's Village You must download, install and register the Contact Confirming App COCOA and health reporting smartphone apps
  24. If the City of Austin forced them to reduce capacity, we probably would have heard about it from the virtue-signaling City leaders. I don't think Live Nation (C3) would reduce it on their own because they're coming of a year of no revenue. I think people just want to get out an party and unlike Chicago (lollapalooza), I think we're in a better covid place. ...and ticket scalpers are probably a big part of selling out so fast.
