I have a hard time hating UT (and OK State) fans when it is not sports related because I have had to work with them closely for the last 2 decades. I have lived in Houston for ten years and can say that ATMs fanbase is more around 40% normal people and 60% delusional fucking retards that are...

Yep, my kids are going to flip their shit over this one.

Yep, I posted that and then saw the video. Moving on.

If I remember correctly, the slaves were well treated under Louis and liked him; it was only when they learned that he was a vampire (and was using his slaves as food) that they revolted and burned the plantation to the ground.

I hate the term union because of its negative connotation with Public Unions and their ability to strike for anything since the people paying them are paying them with unlimited government coffers. On the other hand, think of how different the Twinkie bakery union vs. company fight would have...

For any other team I'd say that this is loser talk for the team that doesn't expect to win. Oh God.

That is all good news.

PREFACE: I am mainly ignorant of the inner workings of the stock market and how it allows companies to be valued and then that value to translate to shares that are used to vote for "public" actions at board meetings even though they are dominated by insiders. Through many years of working...

We have also had a real issue with what a "starter" home should look like. A newlywed couple with no kids does not need a 3000 sq ft 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a bonus room, media room, and second master suite; they need a 1000 sq ft 2 or 3 beds and 1 or 1/2 baths and no extra rooms...

Housing needs to be affordable to make sure that there is an "American Dream" to strive for if you are in the lower class. HOWEVER, that does not mean that housing in large cities needs to be affordable. We need a shift in the culture where small/medium sized companies go to small...

I have not looked at any of my portfolio's since the beginning of this year. I am passive only because I do not have the time or knowledge to do what you all in this thread do. I know that if I look at it then I am going to start really caring about the markets moving until they go back...

Am I the only one who loved the poison zone? It brought out my inner ARPG grind mentality. Also random so semi-roguelike. I was secretly hoping they made more optional zones like that in the next one.

The first one seemed to last longer than 40 hours; was it really that short?

Jesus Christ. That is all.

I was thinking the other day about how bad it is for banks that the interest rates on houses are double what they were a year ago and how that means there is going to be way less people borrowing money from them. I understand that they are getting the money at X rate and have to lend it out at Y...

My guy, how many times do you have to be told that the current system is not built on trust, it is build on a bribe. Use the US dollar as your reserve currency or be excluded from global trade. In the world you are describing the US becomes the biggest version of the mafia in the history.

The Double Decker Taco was the greatest fast food invention since the goddamn cheeseburger. That said, I will not pay $2+ for it even if I want 10 of them right now.

Irma's Burger Shack used to be almost at that level, but then they went and shut them all down. Sad times. The Wat U Lookin At was almost a challenge burger: 12 Oz name beef, fried eggs, bacon, pepper jack, swiss, hot links, all between hot ham and cheese sandwiches.

These people are wastes of oxygen. Sometimes I find myself thinking that it might be worth communism if I can see them all doing back-breaking physical labor because they lack any sort of real value to society.

What is MSRP on boxes/packs and how much over that do I have to pay because of scalpers?

I wonder if they ever fixed the Athletics stat being ridiculous to level and the work around being the Berserk mod plus pausing the game.

If they don't make an exception for Poker as a sport then they are fucking awful.

I thought Echos of Eternity (Siege of Terra Book #7) was great. ADB is one of their best writers and he really captured the feeling of the end of the Siege. Last two chapters and the one page epilogue are *chef's kiss*

This is the type of drama you follow if you have no friends or just crave looking down on other people to feel better about yourself. It is the video game version of Cosmo or Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Who the fuck cares about any of the Z level "celebrities" and their real lives? The...

So I guess this show is done. I thought the finale was pretty bad. Like easily the worst episode of the series bad. That does not change the fact that it was a great show for 90% of its very limited run.

We weren't gifted it, we bought it. We continue to pay for it by allowing global trade to exist via our navy. If a serious attempt to move away from the dollar ever happened then the administration would just let those countries know that if they don't want to trade in the US dollar then they...

Honestly, if Avaya could get their shit together and move themselves to a PaaS model where their own techs were the ones integrating the customers into the platform that included a video conferencing, messaging, and softphone that had integration into M365/Google Workspace then it would be...

I'll give you another prediction from me, someone that has been at the front of IT trends for almost 2 decades. The now is investing in companies that are hosting and moving applications into the cloud. SAP, ServiceNow, Cisco, Microsoft, AWS, Google, etc are now in the process of onboarding...

Kratos vs. Anubis, Set, and Ra is the stuff of wet dreams.

Two book finale. I know they need to milk it; but I hope that it is filled with cool shit and not just filled with filler to get 2 books out of it. I would assume the battle on Vengeful Spirit is the end of the first book and the second one takes up right after that and carries on through the...

It was part of Diablo 2, it will be part of PoE. No further discussion necessary.

I meant on the resale market, are they still hard to get and thus being overpaid for on craigslist and the like?

Are people still paying over list price for these? Costco has them in stock right now

This is going to be great. I can feel it in my scrote.

When a Stoops took over.

Silver lining?

@Foggy about to be obnoxious for at least a month.
