    Wait, what are you looking at to see that our Defense was #10 in the NFL?

    How is that not a coaching problem? Seems like something a coach could remedy by putting him in a better position to succeed.

    These last few weeks have been really difficult to watch. Its been like a train crash you could see happening from miles out. I'm not going to defend Jaire, but even at his most ridiculousness, he wasn't passing blame, just being stupid. He's what you interview draft picks for, accountability. He said he could have played better, amongst a bunch of other stupid things. LaFleur is a "young" coach, but he's also 44, old enough to know how a successful organization works. I'm starting to wonder more and more about the overall structure of the organization, and the fact that we have to speculate is a problem considering many of us own stock in the team.

    A couple things off the top of my head. I remember a couple players making comments about the wrong call on that end of the half TD to TB 2 years ago. I seem to remember some of the vets approaching him last year to explain that they wanted to play more man and press as the scheme was not working. Barry listened, but the fact that his players had to ask him to change the scheme is telling.

    I don't see those as the 2 options or ends of the spectrum for the Brewers. Its either sign early at a discount, or sell at 5 years and get picks to constantly be refreshing the talent pool and maintaining flexibility.

    I'm on Pacific Time and even I was rubbing my eyes this morning!

    Great win last night!

    Anything can happen, but the odds of producing 2 top 10 pitchers again has to be very small.

    FWIW, I felt safer in the nice neighborhood's of Mexico City than in most US downtowns. It is a really interesting city in terms of the variance in quality of life.

    How did it go? I have a 4 and 2.5 year old and can't imagine them making it more than 45 minutes at a theater.

    Bruh....

    I think it really depends on the role. I have been sending thank you emails for all of my interviews, and in each case, the interviewer has responded. But these are positions where I will interview 4-5 times at a company to make sure it is a good fit for both sides- so obviously both parties are investing a lot more time and effort than the majority of positions.

    Just started a job search in the new year and its become apparent that I have a lack of experience when it comes to leadership compensation packages (what is appropriate to expect/ask for) and setting proper delineation of responsibilities. If anyone has experience in this area, could they please message me? For context, I have been applying and networking to interview for Director type roles where I figured I would be bonused in some relation to revenue as this is what I am used to, but I'm getting call backs wanting me to pursue SVP and even C-suite roles. I'm lucky to be in a good market for my skillset.

    Difficult to discuss without spoilers, but if you are speaking to the part I assume, its HBO. Why would they stay away from that?

    It's been a while since I played the first game, but it felt very true to the source material in tone and look. I think some minor parts of the story were tweaked, but I could be misremembering. I really enjoyed what I saw so far.

    BJ Surhoff would like a word, may he rest in peace. .

    I'm going to wildly and irresponsibly speculate that Oakland was supposed to be the 3rd team or the next move after the Hader trade and that they really valued Ruiz. It just took however many months to start the deal back up.

    Just wanted to chime into some of the comments I am seeing as I'm currently connected to this field. First off, Level 3 direct current fast chargers can typically get a vehicle to 80% in 20 minutes. When traveling across the country, this type of fill up is the method people use. The charging network companies (Volta, Electrify America, EVgo) have a lot of data to support this. Someone also mentioned placing the chargers at chain restaurants. This strategy is already in place. I've mostly seen agreements with grocery stores, banks, and convenience stores, but quick service restaurants make a lot of sense too. In the next 3 years, the big buildout will be coming to offer EV stalls at side of the highway gas stations and truck stops. Even with me being in the industry, I don't yet have an EV, so I can't weigh in on the convenience, or lack there of, on longer travel. It is my understanding that taking a 20 minute break every 250 miles is a trade off most people accept over having to drive an ICE vehicle long distances.

    The timing of this sucks since we are renovating our house. Looks like I am going to have to sell a bit to make sure I can hold through anything really bad.

    That means it wasn't his first movie. His career was already a runaway freight train at that point after he directed Adventures in Babysitting!

    So, it's trying to do a modern version of RASHOMON. Interesting. Just read a summary of Rashomon, and yeah...it would appear that The Last Duel drew some inspiration there. Responding to Outlander, I loved all the different perspectives. The differences were subtle, the way she kicked her shoes off in a playful manner in Driver's version of events, vs her kicking them off in a panic as she tripped in her version. The rape scene, especially from her perspective, was obviously not enjoyable, but necessary for the film. Anyway, while it wasn't a perfect film by any means, I thought it was very good and worth the watch.

    My wife and I watched The Last Dual a couple weeks ago. I know it didn't do well at the box office, but I really enjoyed it. The way the story was told from the various perspectives, the pacing, the sets, the acting, and the action were all what I would expect from Ridley Scott. My wife enjoyed it too, though probably more for the story it told than for the same reasons I had (not that I didn't appreciate the story). It may not be for everyone though. I'm one of those people who can enjoy the Directors cut of Kingdom of Heaven and Exodus Gods and Kings in a single weekend (back before having kids).

    I think retail exited over the summer thanks in part to Elon and the rest of the shenanigans that were happening. There wasn't enough excitement in Nov/Dec to overcome all of the FUD and Omnicron news. Without a blow off top, there shouldn't be a crash (this isn't a crash) and I don't think we are entering a prolonged winter. It seems like the whales and long term holders are continuing to hold and buy more. Good news (the ETH merge?) could get things restarted and maybe we finish this cycle just 6 months late.
