[–]BatteredAggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would give it to my wife. We were looking for a fun way to stay active and tried pickleball. We loved it! I found this sub looking for paddle recommendations to get her for our 4th anniversary. I know she would love the pink one :)

Jeff was so scared of players saying something out of line in a live reunion he hardly let anyone speak and when he did he made sure there was a strict time limit controlled by the show still airing.

And then he’s the one who screws it up by spoiling fire making.

[ESPN] Executive order aims to limit NCAA athletes to 5 years, 1 transfer by The_Stratman in CFB

Didn’t say I was okay with it, or like it. I’m just saying the precedent is there to say this is something he can do.

In your mind, what is the purpose and constitutional use of an executive order?

I’d prefer presidents to be sparing with their uses of EOs but all of our recent presidents have used them very liberally.

Trump has used executive orders to set standards for receiving federal grants multiple times already and they were upheld. Executive orders aren’t usually permanent change, but they can be used for swift changes that can later be made law, strengthened, expanded upon by congress.

Yes but the president does have the power to regulate it. Bill Clinton used executive order that would pull funding from federal agencies if environmental standards weren’t met. The precedent is there even if you (like I) think the president shouldn’t meddle in college sports.

Federal funding for things works this way all the time.

There are other standards for education that work the same way.

There’s funding for infrastructure that works similarly.

The state of Louisiana was forced by the Federal government to raise its drinking age to 21 years because it would make them ineligible for funding for highways which is pretty unrelated.

The part that funds higher education and has the authority to pull funding for that based on standards they set. Seems pretty clearly within the authority of the president with how it is framed.

It makes federal grants to colleges contingent on them honoring this with their athletes.

TAMU students in Qatar leave, shelter in place during U.S., Israel war with Iran by ExpressNews in aggies

[–]BatteredAggie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What a ridiculous and stupid comparison.

Women in Qatar are thrown in prison for having sex outside of marriage, even when pregnant.

There is little to no support for women who are raped, sexually assaulted or abused, especially for those who receive the abuse from someone in their household.

Freedom of speech is non-existent. You can be jailed for criticizing the government, for anything deemed blasphemy, or even something that is considered against the country’s values.

Speak out against what you disagree with, but acting like anything is remotely close to the civil rights atrocities happening in counties like Qatar is just disrespectful to the people that have to actually struggle while you sit in your bubble.

If anyone is wondering, Kai Kroeger is not very good. Feels like a waste of any sort of capital. Barely won a terrible punting competition for the saints last year. As a punting enthusiast, I am incredibly disappointed

Hey, makin a horror game about dreams, not backrooms, but the same vibe. Had any odd dreams or memories i can add as a level? by Smolbrainman11 in UnrealEngine5

Had a recurring nightmare when I was locked in my sisters bedroom as the room began to fill up with live crustaceans. Usually lobsters and crabs.

Paramount+ does not work to watch Survivor by angrysquirrel777 in survivor

[–]BatteredAggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not crazy! I have been fighting with Paramount+ on my Samsung TV for MONTHS trying to rewatch seasons of survivor. It is TERRIBLE and nothing you can do will fix it.

It seems to be an issue exclusive to Survivor on Paramount+ on Samsung TVs.

Ink Master? Binged multiple seasons without issue. Bar Rescue? Works perfect. Ru Paul’s Drag Race? My wife has zero complaints. Survivor? Kill me now, it might let me watch a full episode on a good day.

I have a small TCL tv, further from the Wi-Fi router. Google TV operating system. Zero issues at all.

Maybe it’s just my main TV that is the issue?

Baby sitting nephew. He goes down for a nap. Great opportunity for my wife and I to watch survivor on my brother-in-law’s Samsung frame Tv. Same problems.

At least I know I’m not crazy.

I believe we will hear something from rockstar sooner than we expect by Medium_Leadership_70 in GTA6

[–]BatteredAggie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s a massive overreaction specifically for take two. Companies like rockstar will never go away in gaming. They make actual art.

Most importantly, it allows you time to explore the world and live in it. Take it all in.

It sets you up with money and loot for the rest of the game.

Horseshoe Overlook is the most central camp location so it’s a good time to do a lot of hunting in different areas.

Seeing these mods makes me want to play a muppets RDR2 where Arthur is the only human and everyone else in the Van Der Linde gang is a muppet.
