LRT source: www.cnn.com/2026/10/15/p... Feelingsball tactics for a feelingsball war. MOAB = "Massive Ordnance Air Blast," and it's rolled out of the back of a C-130. So you're going to send a fat, slow cargo plane into hostile airspace hoping to knock down a guard shack and pretend that's a win.

I was dialed in for good on Michigan football with Desmond Howard. 1990 Michigan-MSU was the first time I got together with friends specifically to watch a football game. I was 9 and I am still mad about the WORST missed DPI I’ve ever seen.

Same, but with a ‘98 Explorer and a Creative Zen mp3 player. It got even more useful when the CD eject button became unpredictable. The brakes died not long after I got a real job in 2005, and my new Grand Prix didn’t come with a tape deck or aux jack.

A Duke math major could explain small sample size to the New York Times. The 17 people could be 15 PhD candidates making $40k, an entry level quant at $200k, and one guy who made $4.25M on paper doing grey-market crypto things.

I think you're saying Starscream and Soundwave are arriving at Earth at t and t+2, but maybe they're arriving at their pre-attack positions at t / t+2 and that's what Arcee is observing?
I think Starscream's squadron starts at an orbital radius r=100,000km and arrives on Earth at t=0, while Soundwave starts at r=200,000km and arrives at t=2s. But maybe Starscream arrives at r=100,000km at t=0 and Soundwave arrives at r=200,000km at t=2? Either way, Arcee observes that Starscream and Soundwave arrive at their positions simultaneously.

Hmm, not sure what you’re talking about. AFAIK Marshall Mathers disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 2015 and all subsequent works are written by ghostwriters and performed by stand-ins.

And he's wrong about lethal injection, obviously. You don't have reputable medical personnel administering it and you can't use the appropriate drugs for it either. "Flying is safer than driving!" I yell, as I board a jet fueled up with 85 octane and piloted by Andy Dick.

Once again, we should not have a death penalty. But so long as we do, firing squad is the actually humane way to do it. But we don't do that because it allows society to understand that the death penalty is fucking barbaric and that killing people is not an appropriate use of government power.

I have trouble choosing between 2006 or going back to 2001/2002 2001: John Navarre does NOT throw an interception on the opening drive -> the whole team doesn't get the yips -> no Tressel "guarantee" mythos 2002: Braylon doesn't get called for OPI on a TD catch -> FG wins it 16-14 -> no OSU title
