Intelligent life on other planets does not exist.


The odds are pretty high that some sort of "intelligent" life exists on other planets.

The observable universe contains approximately \(2\) trillion galaxies, each with roughly \(100\) billion stars, suggesting at least \(10^{24}\) (1 septillion) planets exist.

And that is OBSERVABLE.

I’ve traveled a lot too and usually, not always but usually if you attempt to communicate in native tongue and they see it’s going to be a struggle, they will use English. Not perfect but enough to get through what you need.

This will go underappreciated, but I appreciate it.
I don’t think 1s are any better. And all money is nasty.

“Show me a young man who is not a liberal. I’ll show you man with no heart.

Relax.


Love all variations of this quote, but Churchill didn't say it. I was sad when I found that out too.

quote:

The International Churchill Society lists it as falsely attributed and says there is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say it.

How is 4% higher than 60%?



Math is hard. They've mentioned two different sets of statistics.

quote:

Baby Boomers remained the largest generational group of home buyers this year


Of total home buyers, Boomers remained the highest.

quote:

Among buyers in each generation, the share who were first-time purchasers was:

Younger Millennials: 60% (down from 71% last year)

Older Millennials: 33% (down from 36% last year)

Gen X: 21% (up from 20% last year)

Younger Boomers: 8% (down from 9% last year)

Older Boomers: 4% (unchanged from last year)

Silent Generation: 3% (down from 5% last year)


Among each group, this is the percentage of first time home buyers.

Wade made an offhand comment that this is the last year we will likely be able to do something like this because of likely knew rules going into effect

So he is going to take full advantage while he can


And it's his first year after being hired after the season was over, just trying to fill a roster as best he can. I'm sure he's already recruiting for next year and we'll be in a better position with a lot of players.

quote:

Forget that Achilles and Helen of Troy are both fictional characters


Sure, they are. But Helen of Troy's appearance is clearly described in the story. There isn't much room for interpretation there.

quote:

mythological fable replete with a giant Cyclops, six-headed Scylla


What if they gave the cyclops two eyes and the six-headed Scylla one head?

It's just dumb. Because we know generally what their physical traits are.

quote:

Lane can hide behind how he was talking about perception as much as he wants. People have “perceived” that he was taking a shot at Ole Miss and Oxford, regardless of the veracity of what he said. Both can be valid.


No, the actual quotes are what Lane said. And they are pretty clear.

Your perception is yours, and stupid.
quote:

I stated the obvious, this is an international lineup with a mass exodus of foreign people who are deemed unworthy to live here by an 80 Year Old man



Come on man, you know that's not what is happening.
Lane said recruits parents/grandparents brought it up. How would this guy be able to dispute that?

He didn't say ALL of them did.

And it's not that far fetched considering a ton of young black males in the South were raised by grandparent(s) who lived in a time when Ole Miss was on the news for stuff.

Ole Miss and Oxford aren't a racist place, but it's hard to break perception of old timers. Lane never said HE thought it was racist and it's his job to recruit, it's plenty diverse, LSU and Baton Rouge is just MORE diverse.

Mind.

Blown.


I've been glued to tiger droppings for over 20 years and had no idea there was a book board.

Exactly!

It seems like Florence Pugh is in everything and I don't really get her appeal.


Great timing for my post :lol:

She’s not my type, and I can’t explain it, but I think she’s hot. Also think she’s a decent actress, but by no means elite.

I find Florence Pugh super hot and I’m not sure why

The way Tony went after Chelsea Handler felt more personal than just having fun at a roast.


Definitely. Shane too honestly. Shane said something to her about her focusing on him so much.

She was full of actual hatred, not humor, when it came to those two. Tony took it back to her.
Give them cheap tablets without internet and only educational apps. Allow them to access the internet in certain areas/times of day in conjunction with their lawyers to receive legal documents, download them, then shut off the internet. And have strong IT filters/firewalls on explicit content.

But they get Apple iPads and internet and watch porn and communicate with the outside world like free men. Ludicrous.
