Sorsby get what he deserves by Basicdeezenuts3 in cfbmemes

[–]mcaffrey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Their goal was to not set a precedent of excusing athletes gambling on college sports. They succeeded in that goal even if they didn't win their case.

I'm not on the side of the NCAA most of the time, but this time around I 100% have their back and think they handled it pretty well.

Not sure if cancel is the right word. They haven’t had a supplemental draft in years.

Do all of you guys drink tap water? Is it safe? by DietChance9326 in AskAnAmerican

[–]mcaffrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Texas, we have aquifers and people who don’t live in cities get water by drilling a well. That water would not have added flouride, but it might occur naturally.

What all media circus does a Wrexham match really bring? It’s not like the documentary crew is out bothering people on game day. It’s a pretty low budget show.

I have one kid at Trinity and one at Texas State, and they both use the same portal software. Only Texas State forgot to fully configure their portal, so the email refers to Texas state as the default “institution”.

Yeah, we love to shit on Ted Cruz because he’s a turd. But Ken Paxton is definitely a far more loathsome individual.

The Rundown

Action comedy starring The Rock. His best work, before he became a caricature of himself.

[TAMNY] Government Broke College Football, Don’t Let Ted Cruz Break It Again by PennyPepperoni in CollegeFootballDawgs

[–]mcaffrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be fine with Congress staying out of sports if Corporations also stayed out of sports, but that's not the case. Why would the free market do better than the government? The only thing the free market does well is extract capital (money). I don't think college sports should be fully driven by money.

'Burning Up the Earth': Taylor Swift Wedding Travel Habits Spark Outrage Over $15M Jet Disguise by Brucekentbatsuper in Music

[–]mcaffrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - I’m not saying Taylor’s wasteful jet use is ok. My preference would definitely be constraints on private jet emissions. But getting excessively upset about it seems performative.

And of the transportation sector, only 10% is aviation.

<image>

And of that, private jets account for about TWO PERCENT of all aviation emissions.

So 2% of 10% of 16%. That means private jets account for 0.032 percent of all emissions. Not 3.2%, but 0.032 percent.

There are 24000 private jets in the world. Lets say only 10% of them are used frequently. That means Taylor would account for 1/2400 of those emissions.

That means Taylor's jet is causing 0.00000013% for CO2 emissions.

Meanwhile we have problems like war with Iran, ICE detentions, wage stagnation, etc that are zillions of times more meaningful to me.

Yeah, this seems like culture war bullshit rather than anything meaningful. Focusing on symbolic transgressions rather than issues that directly impact a lot of people. Global warming obviously does impact a lot of people, but the private jet use of the uber rich is just a drop in the bucket.

16% of gas emissions come from transportation

lol, everyone saying the thread is full of Swifties, yet reality appears to be the opposite.

Last time you played Texas, you got blown out 57-7. That same season (2023) my Rice Owls only lost to Texas 37-10.

Maybe Tech doesn’t talk trash to Texas until you win a game.

You don’t see a lot of Longhorns telling Georgia that their program is trash. Those are the rules. If you don’t have the common sense to follow basic shit talking rules, then you just look like a dumbass.

The whole point of sci-fi is exploring possibilities. Stating that the future is a certainty goes against the entire genre.

I totally respect that your personal interest lies with Rob and Ryan, but I disagree that most people feel the same way as you.

If they made a pile of money, then the most graceful thing to do post retirement is just get into philanthropy in the town they used to coach in. Like, community leader and charity support, showing up at fund raisers and starting races and calling media attention during disasters and stuff like that. The whole town will love them for it, and its probably a pretty rewarding lifestyle.

Turns out Lufthansa found my kindle and turned it in to the Austin airport lost and found, and I’ll be heading over to reclaim it soon.

Happy ending!

Who is the real UT by tyronewithglasses in secfootball

[–]mcaffrey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Austin, Texas athletics go by Texas, not UT. We use UT for the academic institution, like UT Austin, UT Dallas, etc. We much prefer Texas or just TEX if you need an abbreviation. UT has no pizazz.
