re: One of two things are true concerning Epstein

Epstein was running a blackmail ring for a foreign power. This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's been openly discussed for more than 5 years.
If our own government refuses to release said information, because it implicates not only a foreign power, but also local politicians, that is extremely important.
If the US government is largely serving at the behest of Mossad, then it's not a legitimate government, and explains a large number of policy decisions.
No, I think the Epstein files are the most important topic in the world right now.

And yes, I agree. Solid ending.

This may be one of the few times I thanked a car designer/engineer for making something so simple.
Yeah, this is what people who don't hate their customers do.

VWs are either dreams, or they're nightmares. No middle ground.
Wife (no pics) had one, and it died before hitting 85k. Buddy has same car, and it's bulletproof. He's still driving it after 20 years.
I don't wrench on German cars. Brother had a BMW, and I foolishly thought I could change the headlight bulb. fricker was installed with three torx bits.

This is the Dakota Johnson thread.

Started reading this based off the trailer and discussion on the M/TV board.
I appreciate including Rocky in the trailer. He's obviously a primary character, and I don't see any reason to hide him from the marketing of the film. There are a lot of people who don't want aliens in their Sci/Fi, so, if they were going expecting another Martian-style story, they may be disappointed that Rocky was in the movie.
Anyhow, I'm about 80% through the book st this point. I'm *really* hoping that Weir can stick the landing. I'm certainly invested.

Have no idea how you'd do it, or how long it would take to make, but I'd love a Space Trilogy series.

I feel confident in saying there is no universe where Beamer and Tennessee have mutual interest in each other.
That fanbase hates the guy, and he's a poor fit there.
If Beamer gets a CFP appearance or an SEC Title shot, who knows where his next gig is. But I'd be outright stunned if UTK is interested.

The NHL is loads better than it was during the Dead Puck era. The game is faster, more creative, and still more violent than it was 30 years prior.
No contest.

South Carolina fan’s have no right to overlook any conference game
Your shtick is old and stupid. It's a legit thread, and OP gave solid rationale for overlooking Oklahoma.
There's not a road game I think will be overlooked:
Ole Miss
LSU
Mizzou
aTm
All will be tough. Of the four, I have the most confidence in beating LSU.
The game I think will dictate everything is VaTech. If SC reads their own headlines beforehand, they'll get crushed. If they're dialed in, it'll set the stage for a potentially great season.

Had a high school teacher who did just that.
He lived for school. Effing LOVED it. Made decent scratch as a HS teacher, but he had at least two PhDs, and was working on a third.

dunno....go look at their schedule. They have probably the easiest in the conference.
I don't see how it's easy. Away games at LSU, Ole Miss, aTm, and Mizzou.
Home against Bama, Vandy, UK, and Oklahoma.
And you still have VaTech and Clemson as OOC bookends.
I'd gladly trade for either of the UTs' schedule.
That said, I think SC will be hell on wheels. But they will assuredly win one they shouldn't, and lose one they shouldn't.
