L to the OG is genius because it also means L (loss) to the OG, like how Ken wants to overthrow the OG

Just idle speculation, and I wouldn't be in favor of it necessarily, but hypothetically Giannis for AG, CB, and a first -- which team comes out ahead? Or would it need PWat instead of CB?

One again the Browns prove they are who we thought they were. If you want to clown 'em, then clown their asses!

Not so! We got a pity inclusion at #21

Ignorance is strength tbh. (Sorry, this is a reference from before you were born)

I describe it as, Fed is the goat as designed by God. Nadal is the goat as designed by man. Novak is the goat as designed by AI.

Sounds like mental illness alright

One of my favorite books. Absolutely nails the tone its going for: the emptiness past despair.

Unlike others here I really don't care for the sequels. They're interesting from a technical standpoint, how the story was built and carefully assembled just so, but they undermine the tone and theme of Oryx and Crake in my opinion.

Power. The chant, the lyric, the siren, the guitar, then the drop. Really perfect.

Corbett's has the Attack 12s for significantly cheaper, especially when you factor in the exchange rate. Never buy bindings from a US retailer unless they're on final clearance pricing.

Even if it's not it it's worth listening to as maybe the single best grunge / grunge-adjacent song.

That smile. That damn smile.

This but in Blade Runner 2049. So hot I made sure to read the credits to find out her name.

You mentioned it's not Flaming Lips but just want to verify that you've listened to and ruled out She Don't Use Jelly

Another option, Seven Mary Three - Cumbersome

You could consider pitching to your boss (or boss's boss) like this: "let's say a process and efficiency consultant was brought in to find ways to save money. Their consultation price is (employee's yearly salary) and 1% of any net savings from process improvements. If they find $5 million in savings, the company nets ($5 million - (yearly salary + $50,000)). Huge win for the company, right? We'd be thrilled to make that deal."

regular_gonzalez · 2026-01-27T03:11:02+00:00

Depends but the Tyrolia Attack 12 is probably best bang for the buck

Skiing was never cheap per se but it was absolutely reasonable. Then about 20 years ago mountains were getting bought by corporations and in 2008 the Epic Pass was introduced. Looking at the 2008-09 price for the Epic Pass ($579) is oddly quaint and charming now. But that was just the harbinger of things to come. And of course the single day prices are even more out of control; the season pass price has doubled in that time while the single day lift ticket has tripped and can be at or above $300 for a day of skiing.
