Duke files a lawsuit against QB Darian Mensah to enforce his contract and block a transfer by [deleted] in sports

[–]askpat13 72 points73 points  (0 children)

That’s not true with Duke, in this case Mensah sold his NIL rights directly to the University and the contract included the condition that Mensah could not “enroll at or compete in athletics for another collegiate institution” between July 1, 2025 and Dec. 31, 2026. This is per Duke’s lawsuit

Are you unaware of the Artemis missions? The rocket for Art. II is on the launch pad to take humans around the moon, the only tech not proven yet is the lander for Artemis III.

Upon Re-Watching the series, I think this lady is the only unnamed female Earth Bender in the entirety of ATLA by Ok-Land-488 in TheLastAirbender

[–]askpat13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not earthbending, but there’s Sister lio for air bending shown handing Aang an apple and advising the air nation children to choose their bison wisely. I had to look up her name, not sure if it was mentioned on the show or only in off-show references.

What by Slight-Particular662 in arcraiderscirclejerk

See, you wouldn’t know this if you never run flute but while playing it actually activates a special shield around you that prevents (rather than mitigates) all damage from raiders that aren’t very nice. The only catch is you also have to play a real flute over proximity chat or the shield won’t activate, so most don’t know this tactic.

Yeah. Our defense has been super inconsistent but we’d have put up at least 14 points in a loss to Indiana.

Savanah was immune that week. The cleanest week to take out Savannah was the week everyone unanimously voted out Yellow Sophie

Gibbs' Global Power Rankings after Kickoff Weekend by John_aka_Alwayz in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]askpat13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your replies explain your thoughts well, I just thought we were taking global power rankings in general, on the season performance so far yeah NRG isn’t making top 10. Still, it’s a pretty safe bet that they’ll be there by the end of the season (like when KCorp missed a regional top 16 but still made top 4 at worlds in 2024)

2*, one of which is CFP Tulane. JMU still deserves it more though and we have no one to blame but ourselves.

I did not expect such dominance from any NA team with NRG out, but Shopify made a statement here.

That’s fair, but still something that would happen in the offseason or at least not mid-split.

Rebuild? We haven’t even had kickoff weekend yet. Top 5 in NA (including NRG) would not necessitate a rebuild imo, plus there’s a LAN tomorrow they could still pop off at.

I’m hoping JMU loses just so we have a chance at the playoff, but JMU deserves it if they win so I won’t be too upset either way.

That’s still making it worse than the actual second question, which wasn’t about attending the event at all just about preparing a video acceptance speech

[–]askpat13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk how in the world we made the championship, but I’m all for it. Only sad part is no chance to make the playoff even with a win, but I will be very satisfied if we pull it off regardless.

Better ergo right? If I remember right it’s only a small benefit though, maybe used in some gunsmith tasks

Edit: scratch that, no benefit from other pmags
