I’m hoping that this means they resurrect me in the future to be a mindless slave flesh meat suit, using my energy to power their mining some newly discovered planet for its natural resources. Or something. I didn’t want to do it, but my mom bought it for me for Xmas.

Only you could make being registered in a tracking database sound cool and chill. Oh, to be a mindless slave flesh meat suit.

What do people do about power outages? Buy a generator?

Can you run out of water?

Seems weird after I've spent my life with city water.

Some additional thoughts. Yes you can run out of water. If your pumping rate exceeds the inflow rate you will not have water for a short while. If the water table drops below the pump pickup level you will not have water until the water table rises.

If the electric power goes out, you will not havr water unless you have either an elevated storage tank or a pressurized tank. Either will get you through a short power outage. But a generator is better. Preferably one that is connected to natural gas or a big propane tank.
 
Man, how the mighty have fallen. Used to be so pumped for a game like Wake-duke but didn't watch a minute of it last night. Wife and I are rewatching Breaking Bad, and I said I would flip over to the game if close. Didn't check the score until halftime, saw we were down 12 or whatever, then forgot to check the final score until this morning. Guess I don't have any regrets about missing out on a thriller.

I'm right there with you. Except we binged The Crown.
 
pretty rich for a guy who lives off a trust fund to talk shit about job interviews
 
Juice, I've offered you this before and would happily sign a contract stating it. If you can find my "trust fund", I'll gladly give you 60%.

Did the Crawford 19 and 7 bet ever happen?

(I think those were the numbers)
 
Man apparently wifey killed it on her standardized test scores and just qualified for a surprisingly big bonus that neither of us knew existed. Because she was top 25% in NC and the county she gets two bonuses. Dilly Dilly!
 
I'm a total twitter stalker and don't post a lot, but just posted about Field Music and got a retweet from their record company and a like from an English dj who used to be in The Fall who plays their shit all the time. I feel kind of famous.
 
Every time I open this thread, I think of Biff and get a little sad that he’s such a pussy that the result of a football game chased him away.
 
started Mad Men last night.

Pretty cised to keep going with it. I don't remember a whole lot other than Peggy joins the actual agency so it'll be cool to see all this unfold.
 
All bolding for emphasis is mine. This first RJ projection, it's worth noting, came out of nowhere. He wasn't responding to somebody with those #s, he came up with 19/7/1.8 himself, is my point.

RJKarl said:
If he hangs up 19/7/1.8 steals, he'll have a good shot at the 1st Round. This isn't a good year for PGs. There's a possibility no PGs go in the Top 10. Sexton or Duval may be the only lottery pick at PG.

It's absurd that people think Berry is better than Bryant.

RJKarl said:
That's only marginally better than he did last year. And we have a lot to make up for in lost scoring. If none of the bigs end up scoring, I wouldn't be shocked to see Bryant average 20 ppg.

My bad, I thought you understood the game a little.

Nobody has put up those numbers in over 25 years.

The last time somebody put up 19 and 7 in the ACC was Kenny Anderson in 1989-90.

RJKarl said:
That's totally irrelevant. Numbers without context are meaningless. Few star players have stayed long enough and had the right team mix.

He averaged 16.2/5.5/1.5 last year. The points and steals should be no problem. We will definitely need him to score more. The assists will be up to our guys hitting 1.5 more shots/game off his passes. He won't have as many passes to JC , but there will more scoring on the wings. If Doral comes along, Bryant should be able to get some lobs.

I’ll give you 5:1 odds that he doesn’t get 19/7/1.8 and take a bet up to $100.

Your move.

First of all, This was my original post. What does the word IF mean?

Later I opined that what other people had done was irrelevant without the context of what they had done in the previous years and what their team's looked like when the returned. No one has shown a single example to compare.

If it's a 20% chance, why would I take exactly those odds, it's a bad bet.

Let met explain this to snarky millennials:

SCORING:

We lost 36.6 ppg when JC, Austin and Dinos left. Let's say Chaundee exceeds our hopes and gets 15 ppg. That still leaves 21.6 ppg to find. For Bryant to get 2.8 ppg is not a stretch.
Bryant improved from 13.8 ppg to 16.2 ppg. - That's 2.4 ppg. The same improvement would put him at 18.6 ppg. That's pretty close to 19 ppg.
Given the amount of lost offense and responsibility Bryant will have, it is not all unreasonable for Bryant to up his average to 19ppg or more.

ASSISTS

With John gone, Bryant will have more responsibility to lead the offense. But this is the harder number to reach because it relies on his teammates.

As a frosh, Bryant averaged 4.4 apg. As a soph, he averaged 5.5 apg. The same progression puts him at 6.6 apg.

If he improves just same amount as he did frosh to soph, Bryant will be at 18.6/6.6. Over a 30 game season, that would 12 points and 12 assists off of 19/7. Of course the snarks would consider this soooooooooo wrong.

It would remind me of the time I used the word "GUESS" or "Guesstimate" to say that 75% of Final 4 participants over a 10 year period were #1 or #2 seeds. Someone looked it up. He was very happy to say that RJ knew nothing. After all 29 of 40 Final 4 teams were #1 or #2 seeds. I was off by 1 our of 40 with off the top of my head. Which is EXACTLY what you guys will do is Bryant goes for 18.8/6.9.

What's HILARIOUS and completely HYPOCRITICAL is townie and others cry and cry alleging my posts are set in stone, because I don't say "I think" or "could" all the time. This time The FIRST WORD in my post was IF, but to them my post was the 11th commandment.

Are you guys doing another jerking off together moment?

I gave good reason why Bryant COULD reach reach those numbers and MAY reach those numbers. But that's not what sad millennials have determined my words mean.

As to bets, over the past 25 years or so, I've made five with people on the board. I won four and lost one. Shorty was honorable and paid off. The one I lost Moon posted that I had welched when not only had paid off the bet several hours before, but he had evidence of my payment. But that is Moon. He lies and attacks no matter what. As to my other three wins, I still haven't been paid. I don't make bets on the board.

But keep on trying guys, maybe after you clean up your jerking off, you'll make some sense.
