    Dude, I don't know a ton about the market and even I know that Powell wants to be the good guy SOOOOO badly that if he gets the slightest whiff of news regarding lowering rates that he is going to puke it out at the earliest opportunity.

    College Football 2022-23 Season.

    Hey guys! OU grad here but I really haven't watched much college football since I graduated about 20 years ago. Is Bob Stoops still our coach? Is 6-6 a decent record? Watching a game with over 1200 combined yards and 100 points is really exciting!

    @Foggy 8-4 regular season with a trouncing of your rival; how you feeling?

    It just seems like a no-brainer to give melee skills innate stun and damage resistance. How hard could it possibly be?

    Watching Kripp start Ruthless with melee because of an early two hander, get decimated, then switch to ranged spells and immediately clear like easy mode makes a good case that GGG is fucking retarded.

    I'm sure he is a retard and that Iger is going to come in and do something different than he did before. Maybe he will buy another franchise and drive it into unprofitability.

    I know this is a day late, and I understand why you could argue that this move should be viewed from the eyes of Disney's board and that they are the ones that thought Chapek was the weight dragging them down, but that means those ultra-savvy business people on the board are fucking myopic...

    In our universe where the Alien, Predator, Star Wars, and Star Trek franchises have all been mercilessly exploited into derivative piles of shit just to make an immediate profit; this trash franchise with its trash story and trash characters better not be the big winner. Fuck this movie and I...

    This is disingenuous since Iger's term tracks exactly with the dominance of the MCU. So he made one decision that coincided with the end of the golden age of cinemas and then he left when they were at their peak and there were already trends that they were never going to reach those heights...

    Bro, are you ready to end your regular season possibly getting beaten by the worst OU team in 30 years but more likely winning by comeback in the 4th quarter because we are terrible?

    Not so fast. Trash OU doing their best to piss it away. I predicted we would find a way to lose this going into half-time.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    You should look at it this way: That company wants to hire you as a consultant for your expertise. Part of that expertise is that you now know your current employer is a better long term solution than the previous one. Even if they asked you if you were ethically compromised since you work at...

    Because they don't think about melee at all; they see the numbers that ranged/casters put up and balance around that. The end. Once in awhile someone says "what about melee?" Then they all look around the table quietly for a second before bursting into laughter.

    As funny as that is, people have been begging them to actually REDUCE the sheer amount of content bloat for a while now. The problem is their dumb ass cycle of adding league content into the base game, then gutting it for being too powerful, then 'making an adjustment (nerf)' to other popular...

    Direct nerf to jewels for semi-casual players (especially melee) since now we need well rolled jewels with 4 mods instead of well rolled jewels with 3 mods and some utility. They just continue to bloat mod pools while limiting crafting options. I have often said I was not coming back until...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Diablo 3 with just the gold auction house, no smart loot, skill points like D2, and some sort of end game mapping that was deeper than rifts would have been great. That isn't a ton of changes.

    I know people have mentioned it before; but I really think that if Doge dips it may be fun to buy some because Elon is a shitlord and that coin is close to his heart. He will say you can pay for your Twitter blue checkmark with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Doge. Edit: It is already down 30% in 24...

    You hit the nail on the head; they wrote all these cool mysteries and subplots into the first season but never thought about the end of the story. This needed a writing team that had everyone's stories written for a 2 - 4 season show, executed on it, and then done all of the weird 'what if'...

    That game was great! If you liked two below average teams showing just how below average they are. I guess we are banking on Texas Tech being just shit enough that we squeak through by a field goal and then @Springbok's Pokes are going to rip us a new one for the second year in a row...

    I welcome the hate. By the way, all of your towns are also shitholes; you just like them enough to overlook it. The only difference here is that your favorite team is not in the World Series... except for Phillies fans.... and Philly is a shithole.

    Foggy, I think I finally figured something out. I am not a huge baseball fan and I'm not a native Houstonian. I moved here almost a decade ago and have probably been to less than 10 live baseball games in my 41 years. Oh, i played little league baseball some 30 years ago. But every time I...
