  1. That group of 102 wrestlers produced a total of 39 AA finishes with 6 titles. The Dream Team was the best with 20 AA's and 3 titles (Jeff Prescott x2, Matt Ruppel). Other AAs produced a single title (Mark Reiland) among their 4 AA finishes. Honorable Mention was honorable producing 2 titles (Matt Demaray) and 14 total AA finishes. The Nerds got a single 3rd place finish from Tom Miller. In total only 20 wrestlers on the list every AA'd 8 of 11 Dream Team 1 of 11 Academic Team 3 of 20 Other AA 8 of 60 Honorable Mention
  2. Hell, if zero inflation is better than a small amount of inflation why not just shoot for deflation?
  3. Harris should be ashamed of herself for taking money from a convicted felon.
  4. If you like Gary Oldman you get maximum Oldman on Slow Horses (Apple)
  5. I imagine it is a technology and expense issue. Either you need to provide internet to the most remote of regions at some cost or you need to constantly send someone to download images stored on a camera. Perhaps there is a philosophical element too. Not wanting to spoil nature with technology.
  6. Hmmm, what is missing?
  7. Wow is right.
  8. I would have a hard time trusting that polling. It was done at a time that required people to imagine a world that did not yet exist. Now that it exists (and dependent on the Democrat VP pick), it would not surprise me to see the results change significantly in either direction.
  9. Now we know where all the Captain has gone.
  10. Simple typo. He must have meant Black Shirted. https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/news/2023/2/23/gallagher-awarded-black-shirt
  11. Both parties have this, though the Republicans do not call them Super Delegates. Democrats have about 15% super delegates while Republicans have three automatically seated delegates from every state/territory. Democrat Super Delegates are currently not allowed to vote in the first round. Republican auto delegates must vote in line with elected delegates in the first round. And the degree to which they have them is often a result/reaction to losing an election. It used to be that there were only super delegates (think Lincoln's nomination) and there were many rounds of ballots and a lot of horse trading before a candidate was decided. Then the pendulum swung toward a grassroots process like we have now. The pendulum moves around a bit from year to year, but lately always at the grassroots end of the spectrum.
  12. Cliff Notes: DJT is about to add $2.5 billion cash to its balance sheet. But someone will be selling a shit-ton of stock as a result. So, caveat emptor.
  13. I had a very similar conversation. Maybe we were talking to each other and did not realize it. We also talked about how hard it will be to fill the VP slot on the Democratic ticket. No one will want that VP slot. They would just rather wait four years and run then.
  14. I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding about how our elections work and the history of selecting candidates.
  15. I would not read too much into this, but since Biden exited the presidential race DJT is down 7%. DJT is, after all, a wildly volatile stock. But it is also not really a stock in the traditional sense. It has a market value of ~$6.5 billion even though it may be lucky to sell $1 million in ads this quarter while losing a lot of money in the process. It is really just a meme stock and a way to participate in Donald Trump's popularity. What do meme companies do when their stock is wildly over-valued? They sell more stock, of course. Bed, Bath and Beyond, Gamestop, Hertz, and others have all shown the way. And they always do this via at-the-market offerings instead of via secondary offerings. This makes sense because secondary offerings are marketed to institutional investors who have no interest in playing memes. But at-the-market offerings are targeted at retail investors who love the memes. But DJT has a basic problem. It has been public for less than a year, and it cannot do an ATM offering until it has been public for a year. But there is a solution. There is a hedge fund who specializes in providing a bridge between a secondary and an ATM offering. And now they count DJT as a client. They inked a deal on Monday where DJT will sell $2.5 billion of stock to the hedge fund over time via a series of secondary offerings, and the hedge fund will immediately dump the shares in the market as they get them and give DJT a price that is almost guaranteed to be less than what they sold it for AND minus a 2.75% fee (and they get 200,000 free shares worth about $6.5 million for an extra kicker).
  16. Or... She deserved to be fired and everyone could plainly see that.
  17. She said I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.
  18. The Power of God Compels Me to introduce you to Belgian Ales and good whiskey. Either that or I can save a lot of money buying you drinks.
  19. This is a strange post. The OP said he wasn't old enough to know about the Brands' high school career. He did not claim they were hyped. He asked if they were hyped. And then precisely no one claimed they were hyped.
  20. Oh, a new topic. Not feeling good about your last choice of topics?
  21. Yes, there were many dumb requests in those days. Let's not forget he also denied the President's unconstitutional request.
  22. Pence did the most consequential thing ever, even though many other VP's did the exact same thing before him. He opened the certificiates and counted the votes.
  23. The wrestlers left for Paris today. @nhs67 can crack the Captain.
