  1. Given how long it takes to execute someone, I imagine that many loved ones, of a murder victim, have passed away not seeing the perp executed. And sure you can complain that we take too long but that’s the system. Odds are that the families unanswered questions would have remained unanswered even with a trial. And perhaps the prosecution had some holes in their evidence that possibly could have allowed him to walk. Someone can be guilty but the evidence can be weak. in a perfect world, the DA or judge could have added some condition that the guy had to explain more about why he chose the deceased but that has nothing to do with admitting to doing it.
  2. Trammel got a World Series ring last year. Proven veteran who knows how to win.
  3. We probably need to hit up the portal for a starting top end LT this Winter anyway. If Goosby does what most of us expect him to do that guy is off to the first round of the NFL after this season. You going to trust Manning's blind side in his final season at Texas to Chatman? Brooks? Baker hasn't exactly wowed people so far on campus anyway but is more suited to RT. Not a lot there at LT to inspire confidence though Brooks was getting great reviews at one point from the staff iirc. If this were a Banks 2.0 situation and either Turntine or Ojo were projectible day one starters then sure maybe you consider going way above market rate. That isn't how people view these two.
  4. We wanted Lee. Michigan has an OL guy as head coach, a good academic sell, were recruiting him longer, and have bottomless NIL. We don't win em all.
  5. Why did we give up our dh to get Trammel an ab instead of Whitcomb? That's supposed to be an upgrade?
  6. I’ll go to my grave hating the school name on football jerseys.
  7. Went this route. Discount Tire suggested that I fix all 4, I countered to only fix the broken one. They then offered to replace all 4 for the price of 1. Ok, I guess. Odd business model to give away free parts and labor. They replaced all 4, and showed me that the tire pressure was transmitting to their handheld tool but the Explorer is now throwing errors with all 4 tires. Going back Saturday. @TwiceHorn you meant well but this didn’t work out for me. I may be back to the Ford dealer and instead of $250 to fix 1 tire valve, I might be looking at $1000 for 4. Why did I let them replace all 4. Fuck.
  8. I don’t understand how his decision making is so bad. When Dubin was going well and there basically was t a wrong answer he’s tolerable. When there are wrong decisions to be made it’s mine he’s engaged in active sabotage I guess he didn’t bring in Abreu, so cool, whatever. Wasted an up down.
  9. GFL, you go out in public with that thumbnail?
  10. The urge to seek vengeance is born out of anger. We rarely make good decisions when those decisions are based on anger.
  11. How in the fuck are you going to include Heavy Metal in this thread?!? It was a masterpiece of animation and music. It ushered in adult animation to the US. Helped make Heavy Metal music popular in the mainstream in the US. Altered animation styles for a decade, influenced a massive amount of culturally iconic film and TV production talent and gave me my first boner. Does THIS look familiar: No sir, Heavy Metal is among the top in art produced in US history of film. It doesn't belong here.
  12. To elaborate on this further... (not a lawyer, but google is my friend) The cost of a capital case is around $1mm (on average) greater than a non-captial case - greater in some places. And that is if both go to completion. In this specific case, the cost is far different, as the dude pleaded guilty. Then, there is the cost of appeals, incarceration, etc. The costs of incarcerating a death penalty prisoner are significantly higher - there are estimates that it is 5x the cost. Same with the appeals process. Note that the prosecution represents the state - and not just the families of the victims. Life without parole is better for the state in risk, financial, etc. dimensions. You do not want to risk that the prosecution, law enforcement, the university, or anyone else fucked up some part of the process, lengthening the trial or enabling more appeal opportunities. He pleaded guilty and will be permanently out of the press very soon. This is the best outcome for the state. As @Brisketexan notes, I comprehend the desire for vengeance - esp. for this guy. The debt metaphor is perfect.
  13. Is he going to make it more Egyptian or more Spanish?
  14. Damn good insight Sir, thank you. This is what many don't understand. Texas isn't playing this new game until we understand it. Shit can involve FBI investigations since it's Federal now and any funds have a $1 that crossed state lines.. Luckily, we have real lawyers and a real law school. Unlike a poor bred school (aggie) we have to give funds to. And my 40 time (not you SLX) - who knows now, I'm just trying to not die - which is harder than some realize. Positive is Texas gets a few million on my death.
  15. Right. There is a good chance we won’t need the leverage guys all weekend in LA. Certainly not tomorrow with LMJ on mound. Probably not Saturday with Ohtani going for them.
  16. I know you think it would help. But the accounts of most folks who have been through such things tells you that, for the most part, it actually doesn't. Which is both hard for me (a vengeance minded guy) to grasp...but also, knowing just enough about human nature, loss, and grief, it also makes sense. We don't find actual closure and peace by trying to "balance the ledger," because such ledgers can never be balanced. To continue the metaphor, most people who speak of finding peace and closure get there because they "write off the debt." Holding onto trying to collect on a debt that can never be repaid is a recipe for continued suffering and anger. It's counter-intuitive at first, but in the bigger picture, it makes sense. You say such things definitively -- "it would bring closure." "It sure would help." You may genuinely think that. But first, you don't know that, as you haven't actually applied that path to yourself. And second, looking to the folks who HAVE walked that path, they mostly tell us that what you think is generally not how it turns out. Maybe listen to them, the folks who have come out on the other side. They aren't speaking in the abstract or unknown like you and I are' they are speaking from actual experience. They have more credibility than you or I on the matter.
  17. I’m watching back to the future 2 and I realized we are in the alternate timeline where Biff (dotard) has taken over. Sadly, we are just at the beginning of his empire, but I fully expect in about 2035 that we will absolutely be in full on ruins like in alternate 1985.
  18. We won the series and the Dodgers are next.
  19. Cool place in Asbury Park, NJ I’ve hit up a couple of times, has a great collection of old pinball and arcade games… We loved playing this one or some variation too…
  20. Why rest your leverage guys yesterday if you weren’t going to pitch them in a tie game here?
  21. If there is an uprising at some point of the American populace it won't be because of war (Our military is not being defeated in any conventional warfare even with TFG at the controls.) or because people suddenly decided that we should be kind to immigrants. It will be part of the same reason Mussolini was sent packing and that's when the population starts to not have access to the food it needs just to survive. That could be a lengthy wait even with millions of people eventually being sent out of the US who prop up so much of the harvesting of fruits and vegetables we eat daily. When that happens, you'll see a collapse and all you can hope for is a new man or woman in power that brings democracy back. It's easy to say these things, but how each country handles a situation like this is different. Right now we're handling it, to be kind, poorly. I don't foresee a civil war, but food scarcity is as big a motivating factor for regime overthrows as one that has awful human rights abuses. It took Italy 20 years, a dwindling food supply and Allied bombing raids to get Il Duce kicked to the curb. We start to see millions of hungry Americans that aren't used to 3rd World food conditions and all bets are off on what they do to rectify a lack of food.
  22. Kinda funny in this cycle we have a TE the size of a OT, and an OT the size of a TE. Obviously I'll trust Flood's track record of development here/
  23. Ok Wemby I see you. Maybe he needs to go pay the Spurs of North London a visit Ok, never mind, we can stop this now
  24. Very quickly going to be my new favorite stro ever named Cammy
  25. The absolute minimum we must do if we manage to retake power and want to fix anything is arrest and send Roberts, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Scalia, Gorsuch, and Thomas to fucking CECOT or South Sudan while they await trial.
