Those new sea doos are amazing. At the lake this weekend there was some kids messing around with some 90s yamahas (a couple of those stand ups and then a normal one) and then there was a few newer sea doos out there. The older ones were so much less stable and they were struggling to even keep them up while the huge rear end sea doos just cruise along like nothing.

I was blown away when I got my 2014s. Even those have brakes! The technology is wild - last ski I had was an old 96 Yamaha like you are talking about. Night and day!

Plus these have like 3x the horsepower.

Yeah I’d hate to fall off. Average seems to range 55 to like 65 but I know the 300 models are modded to hit 80+ and that speeds way beyond what it takes to hurt you.

Edit the talk about speeds and water reminds me of the fake tiktok trend they claimed to kill several people

Gotta wonder how much of that is guaranteed. Lower AAV compared to the current deal so assuming a hefty chunk is.

He’s truly outlasted Jordan Cameron and thus absorbs his powers. That alone makes it a Good move Nola

Not really sure how Overton window relates to lovely personal politics of a guy who wrote several funny comedies. Brushed it aside as a nerdy joke reference tbh

This was the post they were responding to when they said they didn’t realize it was about the brits’ politics, but the whole joke is based on the Overton window so it’s pretty explicitly about politics. Maybe the Overton window is more obscure than I thought? My parenthetical comments were just to contrast Forrest on Fire’s good joke as opposed to my stupid Overton window frame pun

Anyways, apologies, it’s been a day; back to our regularly scheduled football chat

Imo you should jump out of the Overton window

Alama Uluave?

If it's him, I'm really happy to see it. He was the rock of our offensive line from 2020-2022 and the line looked so much better when he was in. He was a first team MWC selection last year and worked his way up from being on special teams. Love that he's playing well and hope he makes a roster.

That’s him! He’s playing 3rd string center but he’s earned a few 2nd team reps so far. I think he’s carving a roster spot for sure. If I remember you were talking about him in the draft (or immediately after) so I just wanted to update!

It wasn't really a producer. The movie was crowdfunded, and one of the thousands of them was arrested for child trafficking last week. She backed the movie at a level where her names were in the credits.

Yeah, to be fair in the other direction, I think that level of funding was well over $500 to get your name in the credits, so yeah, blast away.

The petition further alleges that the Tuohys used their power as conservators to strike a deal that paid them and their two birth children millions of dollars in royalties from an Oscar-winning film that earned more than $300 million, while Oher got nothing for a story "that would not have existed without him." In the years since, the Tuohys have continued calling the 37-year-old Oher their adopted son and have used that assertion to promote their foundation as well as Leigh Anne Tuohy's work as an author and motivational speaker.

Miami has a bit more hype than they deserve tbh, Mina had them as the third best roster in the league. Which is only true if you turn off injuries for the season.

Joint tenth with the Chargers feels about right.

Yeah 3rd in the league is insane. Bills dolphins and Jets all feel about equal right now with Patriots a few notches below but still likely not too bad.
