The Swamp

It's just so jarring and when you look at how cool/clean the lines are on the Rivian you really have to wonder WTF ppl are thinking. I really like the Rivian too. BTW, what the fuck is Elon doing with firing his entire Supercharger team? That's the one clear competitive advantage Tesla still has.

My boys are 20 and 23 would get it instantly. And would have for the last 10 years. I did recently ask my younger son if his friends knew Monty Python (which to most kids just means The Holy Grail), and he said that some do and some don't. But it's not universally unknown. (at least not a UNC)

My boys absolutely loved (and love) Monty Python and the Holy Grail. We watched it many, many times together. So, the kids do still like it.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that, man. It's great that his family was around at the end though. I think that's all we can hope for - that our family loves and cares enough to be there.

I always heard it as "what's the difference between jelly and jam?" I think of that joke during most of my grocery store visits.

This is an interesting map of the US by cost of living.

I'm glad they included Guinea in there to give a better sense of scale.

Yes, that foot is offside. I don't like that rule though.

Y’all.

I had to google who that is.

I almost entirely avoid all of the pre-draft nonsense, so maybe this wasn't surprising to others, but I couldn't believe when I checked and saw that the Steelers got Peyton Wilson with their 4th pick. That dude is a beast! You obviously never know how these things will turn out, but I'd say Pittsbur...

For reference: that's a lyric from a new Taylor Swift song. It led people to Google her childhood home. It's a really nice home. Shocker. https://trending.knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/where-did-the-catchphrase-you-wouldnt-last-an-hour-in-the-asylum-where-they-raised-me-come-from-the-tortured-...

Love this kid. He and Max were classmates for a while. I asked him to throw out a first pitch at a class A game our org attended a few years back. He called when when he got the first pitch call from the O’s and told me he was getting “called up”! Well that's just awesome. Good for you, bfj, and go...

That was ugly. The midfield trio of Enzo, Caicedo, and Gallagher has been soft defensively all year. When you pair them with Badiashile in the back, the sieve becomes a gaping wound. I told my son after the last game he played that he should never don a Chelsea shirt again. But then we started him o...

Yes. Baby Ruth and Snickers are great, but nothing beats a great toffee bar.

Whew

Hey you don't speak the language, welcome to this new school, how about this crazy sport that will make no sense...love it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/04/21/north-county-lacrosse-brothers/ That's a great story. And kudos to those kids. That takes a lot of guts. All of that, actually.

Yeah, it's pretty boring, tbh.

Same. And I'm pretty online.

Any word from the kids on the quality of the album? I'm still playing The Allman Brothers today, but I do want to check it out. My oldest doesn't care for the first album but the 2nd is better. To them. I'm listening to it now. Not sure whether it's 1st or 2nd. I guess she put out two albums and th...

From the stupid, conspiratorial shit I've heard other pro athletes say out loud, I suspect Rodgers has a lot of teammates who agree with him.

I saw Gregg and Dickie perform as the Allman Brothers back when I was in college. Saw them with Little Feat at an amphitheater in St. Louis. Great show. I'm not sure I knew Dickie Betts's name at the time though. Unfortunately, I drank a bit too much and ended up throwing up on the carpet in my girl...

Very interesting that that comes from foxnews.com. But I made the mistake of actually reading the article. Hoo boy. A great example of "the worst person in the world made a good point."

Gregg Doyel has been a raging asshole for a long time now. Maybe this will be the last straw.

Since I don’t really have anything else going on and I’ll probably never get the opportunity again I decided to apply for a post office job for the Antarctic summer (October to April) at McMurdo Station, Antarctica and I passed the first round of vetting. So still many rounds to go but wish me luck...

Holy shit! That's pretty awful. (Should have earned you guys a cancelation instead of a loss!)

I just finished Season 2 of The Wire last night. At this point you can put me in Team Wire for that argument between The Sopranos and The Wire. I think it just has a more compelling storyline than Sopranos, which didn't seem to have as much of a constant through line. I'd still rate Breaking Bad and...

Please retract this immediately. Jim and his wife Dana will be celebrating their 33rd wedding anniversary this year and he does not have an ex.

Gotta hand it to them.

I think Colin Ferrell is one of those actors who I've liked everything he's been in.

When I coached my boys in rec soccer, I mapped out the lineups and sub patterns ahead of time, because it's too hard during the games. I'd have my assistant use the sheet and run a timer. Of course, that was often difficult too, because invariably a kid or two wouldn't show or would show up late. I ...

Sure, I get that. It wasn't hard to decipher. The international angle is an interesting part of it. But what I'm talking about is a room full of highly-paid (maybe?) writers who have a job writing for an extremely popular show. And they have to write shit like that. And while that may have been a dr...

I like the idea, but I hate Virginia being in the Northeast. They have little connection to most of those schools (other than VT, and MD. Maybe WVU).

Honestly, she could have crawled out. That's not exactly how rip tides work.

Of course. But it was also a blowjob joke in AD.

Didn't we have an 80s v 90s thread at some point? Or I am hallucinating that? Not sure if this is pro or con. Both. https://www.twitter.com/Decker6/status/1291184104235397120 I'm very curious about the writers' room on shows like that. How does that work? Are they hacks? Are they embittered old wri...

I think the question mark bothers me more than the blowjob joke.

Several Rivians and a Polestar in our neighborhood. We are going to get an electric SUV this year, but those Rivians are pricey! Looking more likely we get a Hyundai Ionic 5 or a Kia. Nice looking, highly rated, less expensive electrics. I was all set to get either the Ionic or the Kia until I look...

Well, I bought mine used and I try not to think about Elon too much when I drive it. There were lots of lots good engineers who really deserve the credit that everyone loves to give him. And for the most part, he built those things before he took that crazy right-turn a few years ago.

I had to drop my Model Y at the Tesla service center this weekend (the battery suddenly stopped charging). The first vehicle I saw in their shop being worked on was a Cyber Truck. Thing couldn't have been on the road for long before that.

Jesus, that's awful. "I'll have nothing." What a toddler.
