  1. I think this is a really interesting situation. This could result in northern Syria becoming a new Kurdish state. Israel may move to take more land beyond the Golan Heights, and/or the rebels can try to create a new Syrian government over whatever is left. We also may see the new government fight back against those advances and create more turmoil in the ME. Israel would likely welcome the fight, as they could easily pick apart whatever is left of the Syrian military. They pushed towards Damascus easily the last time they tried, but now there won't be anyone to really put the brakes on Bibi's plans. Trump certainly isn't going to tell him to stop, or halt weapons sales and deliveries, so the IDF should be well armed no matter what happens.
  2. Soooooo, I had Wemby and Norman Powell on my IR because I was waiting to hear if they would play tonight. I activated both, put Murray on IR, but I can't play either of them today because it won't take effect until tomorrow. How exactly does this work? When is the cutoff for roster moves? None of their games have started, I thought I would have up until tipoff to make the decision, since it's often late notice whether or not guys are playing. I know in Fantasy Football, you can make roster changes right up until 5 minutes before game time. I'm surprised that isn't the case in the NBA version.
  3. Murray and Gordon were out this game, which had a lot to do with it. They are too thin beyond their top 4 guys. Westbrook played 32 minutes that game, which is about 12 too many for him.
  4. I generally say Happy Holidays to people at work because I don't care enough to know which holidays any of them celebrate. It's laziness and a bit of apathy, but it works fine and doesn't cause any follow up conversations that waste 10 minutes in a meeting explaining what they celebrate. It covers everything, which is convenient, and it's not off-putting to anyone. Although, there are a few guys at work who will say something like "Merry Christmas or happy whatever you celebrate" and chuckle about it. I think they are trying to be pricks while having the option to fall back on it being a joke if anyone gets upset. Using it as an opportunity to divide and annoy people is equally stupid and shitty behavior.
  5. Behold!
  6. That's gonna be a fine...
  7. I have a few dozen that I really enjoyed, but going to the way back when, one of my first personal NES game purchases was Mega Man 2, and I absolutely loved that game. The soundtrack was great and really set the mood for the boss fights and stages. There were some really good songs that are excellent considering the 8 bit system they had to work with. My favorite of the sound track was the first Wily Fortress area. Flash Man was a great one too: Mega Man 3 also had some great tracks. Spark Man was the best, no debate:
  8. You can't fire the owner.
  9. "Dangerously, retailers exploited the agriculture law to sell life-threatening, unregulated forms of THC to the public and made them easily accessible," Patrick said in a statement. "These stores not only sold to adults, but they targeted Texas children and exposed them to dangerous levels of THC." Oh yeah, it's sooooooo dangerous! Please cite the statistics that show how many people die from it every year. Then do alcohol, then do cigarettes, then do your 6 week abortion ban and let's see how the numbers stack up.
  10. It's kind of funny/sad to watch this as the contact gets harder as the video goes, and the foul rarely gets called. Sengun got no love and eventually got ejected over it.
  11. NBA Cup teams are set: Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference. Currently the 3/4/5/6 overall seeds in the East. Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference. Currently the 1/2/3/7 seeds in the West. The Bucks have been really good lately, and without Cleveland/Boston to deal with, they should be the favorite in the East. They get a very favorable round 1 draw with the Paolo-less Magic, while the 1/4 seed in the West is OKC vs Dallas with Luka back healthy. It will be interesting to see how competitive some of these teams are,as I still don't know how to gauge the player's interest in winning this award.
  12. Alpi is getting zero respect tonight. Trash refs overlooking obvious hard contact multiple times.
  13. Alpi clearly gets shoved while making a jumper, then Derozan gets barely any contact on a missed jumper and gets the call. Just crap officiating on both ends.
  14. Yeah, that was a moving screen... hope they don't overturn it. Jabari is really getting into it with these guys. Lots of tension and it's only the 2nd quarter!
  15. Nice find with the TE uncovered. Easy TD to probably put the game away.
  16. Just saw it, was kind of surprised how ADHD it was. It felt like a Frankenstein script with a bunch of different scripts cut up and slapped together without any thoughts of how it flows as a story. There were a lot of quick cuts to completely different locations without any transition. They would switch locations and conversation topic without any transition or establishing shots, felt really weird and disjointed. There were a lot of songs, and I honestly can't remember any of them. I will check YouTube later to figure out which one has our kids excited and dancing and report back. There was 1 they really really liked when the other lady that lives in the big clam was singing.
  17. The Yankees really need a 3b, since Jazz is not the answer there... If Soto goes to the Mets, I could see it happening. I would hate to see it though, I want him to retire an Astro.
  18. The approval of the long range missiles at this time is really odd. Why wait so long, until after the election? What's it going to accomplish, or is he looking to escalate the war to fuck with Trump? It's such an odd thing to do right now, the time to approve it was nearly 4 years ago, if you wanted Ukraine to win the war.
