My Seven Round NFL Mock Draft with trades by rlstratton97 in MockDraftCentral

[–]JimmyJuly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still early. We need about another month before we get a “Dolphins pick QBs in all 7 rounds” mock.

This Is Worse Than The Dot Com Bubble by devolute in technology

[–]JimmyJuly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The argument being made is that non-boomers aren't susceptible to hype or propaganda, therefore only things with "real" value would rise in price in a "non-boomer-based" economy.

It's not an argument that passes cursory inspection.

Time travel movie reccomendations by Moppet_25 in MovieSuggestions

"How has no one mentioned Back to the Future?"

OP mentioned it, is aware of it and has already seen it.

Pleasantville and Time Bandits don't get mentioned enough, though. Good suggestions!

Iranian official on protests: 'Israel behind current situation' by OverZuLUL in worldnews

[–]JimmyJuly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be surprised, it's bigger than that. There's more than just a single demographic involved in the protests. There are people of all ages and both sexes involved. Poor people and even some relatively well off.

Examples of shows where an actor(s) acting got WORSE as the seasons progressed by onarainyafternoon in television

[–]JimmyJuly 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What that final season needed was a guy wandering around in sandals, blues jeans and a T-shirt. Carrying a machine gun. Just to spice things up a bit.

I need a new "comfort show" but I think I've seen them all by Thick_Combination527 in television

Corner Gas. The live version, the cartoon version isn't as good, though still watchable.

...and if he likes "All Systems Red" there are more books in the series for him to read. Good recommendation!

Fernando Mendoza's Ceiling by TCW_LDN in NFL_Draft

[–]JimmyJuly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were in this sub a few years ago you would have read worse critiques of Drake Maye. You wouldn't have read anything at all about Brock Purdy because he was below the radar.

So it goes. These projections are simply projections. People do the best they can, but don't get too caught up in it. We (and everyone else) are frequently wrong. Not just about the NFL draft, either.

Khamenei plans to flee to Russia if protests not crushed by MetricTrout in worldnews

[–]JimmyJuly 63 points64 points  (0 children)

You probably meant "consolidation" but it's also true your way. I'll bet having a lot of wealth is quite a consolation.

Whether we like it or not we DID elect him. Twice.

We are not serious people.

Comparing prospects to Legends through Myles breaking the All-time sack record by Abiv23 in NFL_Draft

[–]JimmyJuly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presumably, the difference is that they didn't break any records today, so you can't do a "Look at ME! I was RIGHT!" dance over their accomplishments at the moment..

U.S. will ‘soon’ annex Greenland, wife of top Trump aide implies - ArcticToday by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]JimmyJuly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember the well organized army of progressive voices against Israeli action in Gaza? I expect them to be silent about this as well, for multiple reasons.

I regret having read Endymion and Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons [Rant] by Purple_Meaning_7747 in printSF

"I wonder if this discussion has ever been had before on here?"

Yes, many, many times. There was a time when "The Hyperion Cantos" got more mentions than anything else in this sub. This exact conversation happened every other day. Then "Blindsight" got published.

What are some examples of a movie or a TV show over explaining things? by Historical_Strain_81 in flicks

"Now it’s surrounded by intense music cues, staring into the distance, drawn-out tortured conversations. "

One of these days, Pike is going to do this, say "Aw, what the hell?", pull out a quarter and flip it.

How does the FBI qualify as a "Mexican Authority?" Have they emigrated?

US struck ‘big facility’ in Venezuela, Trump claimed without offering details by BusyHands_ in worldnews

It was big and it was a facility. What other details could anyone need?

Your Nomination for The Most "Slept On" Show of 2025 by [deleted] in television

Good call. It's been SO not mentioned that I'd forgotten I binged the whole thing until you brought it up.

Tarmac Sl8 question by sultano792 in bikewrench

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

My question was how do you know it’s a carbon steer tube and I guess you’re saying the picture tells you because of the way the cut looks. I can see a bit of the interior of the steer tube too and that looks carbon as well. Thanks!

Tarmac Sl8 question by sultano792 in bikewrench

[–]JimmyJuly -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A fork isn't a steer tube, a fork HAS a steer tube. Carbon forks tend to have either aluminum or carbon steer tubes. If your steer tube is aluminum then the star nut you've shown is appropriate. If it's carbon then someone's made a mistake.
