  1. Talking heads on nerd sites say they were expecting to land on 2 engines. ... Unfortunately one of the 2 engines used was one that cut out 1:56 into the flight. Nobody is sure if that was expected or not.... The belly flop landing approach actually looked more controlled than the high speed landing the Falcon 9 does.
  2. SpaceX Stream: GO Everyday Astronaut Stream: GO Redbull: GO Big Screen: GO We are go for launch...
  3. After getting used to multiple 4k monitors, trying to use a single laptop screen is like watching TV through a tube. Being a remote employee, I could do my job literately anywhere in the world, as long as I have a fast internet connection....and external monitors. There's physical size, and there's resolution. Getting a 24" monitor that is 720p is still drawing with crayons, just bigger crayons. 720p = 1280x720 1080p = 1920x1080 1440p (2k) = 2560x1440 4k = 3840x2160 There are 1440p monitors to be found in the price range you are looking, such as: https://www.newegg.com/axm-2768-27-qhd/p/15Z-00MH-00006?Item=9SIAB9H8R37432&Description=1440p monitor&cm_re=1440p_monitor-_-9SIAB9H8R37432-_-Product&quicklink=true
  4. I don't care that there are 2 SpaceX Dragon capsules docked at the ISS right now or that SpaceX makes landing a orbital booster look routine or that Tesla has pulled the global Auto makers kicking and screaming into the electric vehicle world, for my money, Elon's unwillingness or inability to light this Starship prototype while I have time to watch just show that Musk is a fraud. All I'm hearing is excuses: Most advanced engines ever made, most complex 'belly flop' landing ever attempted, early prototype, first tests, blah blah blah. Put up or shut up, bro. T-63 minutes for this bad boy.
  5. The affidavit says exactly that. More than one IT guys should be fired for incompetence. ...but that doesn't help the lady who accessed a government system without authorization or make the search warrant invalid.
  6. not sure if serious? It doesn't really matter what she sent or why. Her actions crossed a line an gave LE a valid reason to get a legit search warrant and take her computer.
  7. So to recap: She was fired in May from the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) On November 10th she logged in to a government computer system from her home with an FDOH account she had access to and sent an Alert Message to 1,750 people. The government tracked the unauthorized message to her house and got a search warrant for her computer She played the victim card after they execute the search warrant. We're supposed to be outraged why? If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
  8. My initial reaction was this was the worst defensive mistake I've ever seen on a last second pass.....but after thinking about it, it's too stupid to have been legit. I think you have it exactly right, they lost on purpose.
  9. it is for us.
  10. There was no chance that Nick Saban was ever going to come to Austin. None. Zero. Zip. When Mack Brown finally got pushed out at Texas, Saban already had 3 National Championships in the previous 5 years and more importantly he had recruiting locked-in and had the Bama administration trained up the way he wanted them. Money might be the only reason to leave, and Alabama had already shown a willingness to make him the highest paid coach. The only way Texas fit into his plans was perhaps a trip to Austin to panic Bama into giving him more money. Should MB have retired sooner? Yes. Did he "leave the cupboard bare"? No, that was just Strong's incompetence. (Let's purge all OL and then complain about lack of depth). Should we celebrate his time here? Damn straight. As far as I'm concerned, they should build a statue to Mack Brown. Akers, McWilliams, Mackovic, Brown, Strong, Herman....once of these ain't like the other ones.
  11. The SEC is the same as it is every year. There are a few good teams at the top and a bunch of garbage. What changed is A&M overpaid for a real coach and are now (at least for this year) one of the teams at the top. We need to open the damn checkbook and get UM.
  12. Raise your hand if you didn't even know RGIII was still in the league....
  13. At this point all BIG-10 games impact the ccg and indirectly the playoffs. To be in the BIG-10 CCG, you have to play at least 6 games, UNLESS the conference average for games played is under 6, then you can be in 2 games less than the average. In order to reach that average of 6 conference games, the BIG-10 needs to play 6 of the final 14 games scheduled these next two weeks. If tOSU has either of their last two games canceled (likely), they badly need lots of conference games canceled.
  14. I'm just not seeing an OSU team that is 4-0 or 5-0 and not a conference champion getting in, I think the CFP committee signaled that when they ranked the Pac12 teams so low. ...BUT I predict they WILL play in the BIG conference championship game even with less than 6 games. In order for OSU to play in the BIG conference championship game, they have to play at least 6 games OR the average number of games of all BIG teams has to be below 6. To reach that average of 6 games played across the league, the BIG has to play 6 of the 14 games scheduled in the next two weeks. If OSU has any more games canceled, and it's looking like they will this coming weekend I think the league office finds a way to cancel a few extra games...for the good of the league of course.
  15. Not sure what you mean by that. In order to be eligible for the Big 10 championship game, you have to have played 6 games. Ohio state is 4 -0 with only two more games scheduled and no open dates...if either of those games gets canceled, OSU will NOT be in the Big Ten Championship game. Is a 5-0 non-champion OSU getting in the playoffs over a possibly 8-1 A&M team? Probably not. Edit - ...And the OSU game this week was canceled because of Coviod-19 on the Buckeyes' side. The chance of a cancelation next week is probably better than 50/50.
  16. snoop dog is making this 10 x more entertaining. California commission said No-knock outs but Tyson looks like he wants that KO.
  17. I wish we could stink our way to #5.
  18. I fear that if we can't get Urban we're going to go for a 3rd straight Group-5 Flavor-of-the-month coach. Strong looked good for 2 years at UL. Herman looked good for 2 years at UH. Both turned out to be Fool's Gold. Please No NO NO NO!!!: Kalani Sitake BYU (9-0) Jamey Chadwell - Coastal Carolina (8-0) Doc Holliday - Marshall (7-0) Huge Freeze - Liberty (9-1) (he was 12-25 at 5 years at ole miss) In a similar way, I don't like the idea of giving a coordinator his first shot. We're Texas dammit. Go start your head coaching career at UTSA. I want an experienced coach. If Urban is off the table, the list gets really hard: Fickell is at least on his 3rd good year at Cincinnati. Brian Harsin - 68-18 at Bosie St. ???? Is there no one else? Before we fire Herman, we need to know that Urban is available and willing.
  19. Remember, if Money doesn't start when she opens the door, you have it lined up wrong.
  20. The BCS Marathon / Half Marathon had been the last big race in Texas still pushing hard to hold a race this year. The Covid-19 precautions were already extreme with a socially distanced rolling starts 10 minutes apart starting at 6:30am, masks required for the first 1/2 mile, no spectators at the start or finish, no expo, no after event, etc. Sadly they sent an email out today that they have been shutdown. It sounds like it wasn't the city or county that finally killed the race, it was the insurance requirement of medical personnel being on hand and the lack of any medical personnel being able to commit support the race due to Covid-19. It doesn't need to be said, but I hate 2020.
  21. Sounds like you're going with something like Dan Rather's "Fake but True" argument. Mm'k.
  22. Interesting that you single out 2020. Does your litmus test on stupidity apply to 2016? Or is buying into the Russian collusion story acceptable?
  23. I got a bad feeling about this. The players know Herman's on the hot seat. if there's any fight in this team (other than sam) they need to show it on this drive. If they go down a couple scores early we may see this team fold.
  24. Let's go horns. A win is always good, but a loss means we can get rid of Herman sooner rather than later.
  25. Another recommendation for Roku. Roku is great. I don't do Apple+, but I've had most of the other streaming services at one time or another and haven't had any trouble with the apps. The Roku phone app also works really well in that it acts as a remote and allows you to redirect the TV audio to the phone (or headphones attached to the phone) without any sync/delay issues. This Christmas I'm going to jettison the TV hanging on the wall in my home office and replace it with the same size roku tv.
