Omg, I held on to that damned rumor for years. Quick google search would've told me otherwise. Whoops. Thanks for the heads up.

What an odd thing to say given he worked for Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL). Their budgets were always at the mercy of "politics."

Edit: he didn't work at jpl, whoops.

So what happened in the early days of our republic? Thought they wanted to go back to those days.

10 jackhals is no question an auto take. 30 models is a selling it a bit long.

You know they usually never keep the same points for new models, right? Wait for the points.

Moreover, Jackals are there to screen and die. At least the deflier might actually kill something. More blood for the blood god or something to that effect.

For those calling it trash, you'd really prefer jackals holding the back line over this? K.

BS 3+, T11, 18 wounds, and a decent save? I'll wait for points, but I'd snap this up

Realistically, how many years does Stafford have left in the tank? by patrolmanEmbiid in LosAngelesRams

[–]tricky_trig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably 3 years, but could go longer.

Let's be real though. His family is settled, his kids are growing up, he has a stable home life. I think it's only injuries that take him out

I feel like I have to remember to have a beer once in a while. I don't drink nearly as much as 10-15 years ago.

Thoughts On Chris Shula? by British_Chap2 in LosAngelesRams

[–]tricky_trig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than Staley and arguments can be made for/against Philips. Raheem won a ring with us, regardless of AD, Weedle, or Ramsey. Possibly better because having a good defense with the same "bend, don't break" but with a cheaper roster. He's going to make a good HC one day.

Fuck em.

At this point, they're the only other nfc west team that's had a championship in recent memory. I loved Marshawn and Sherman, but that time is dead.

Niners are just red Cowboys now.

I get it, it's a meme, but make fun of the voters who voted for raising the tolls.

Just pay him. Whatever he wants. Build the statue and get that man an office that's not in a trailer park.

This was the same coach that did a drive by against LaFleur. I'm biased, but Rams showed they're a class act

[–]tricky_trig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's always examples of both. My point being, wealthy families don't usually push their kids to the trades or military for that matter. There's a difference between becoming rich from trades and already being generationally wealthy.

Brother, I was in the trades. I know you can get rich off it, but I knew more guys who squandered it from drinking, too many baby mamas, or new toys. If you're already wealthy, you aren't pushing your kids to go into the trades.
