They are talking a thousand launches per year. Averaging 3 a day will require significant infrastructure and ancillary development.

We have a camp at the marina down in pecan island, about as close as one can get to everything that’s gonna be built. I just hope Elon solves the mosquito issues. They are out of control at night out there - no mosquitoes and rocket launches would make it a paradise out there

Kiffen, Tebow & Caleb Williams, such monsters, and the first people I think of when I think of supervillains.

Much worse than guys like say, ooo Aaron Hernandez, OJ Simpson and Jerry Sandusky of the CFB world.

A very large CFA Express…which is unfortunately becoming like buying another lens they are getting so expensive.

This part right here is super frustrating and has kept me from upgrading (my Fujifilm xs10, xe4 & xt4 render some of the best 1080p 8bit footage you can get, and WAY less data intensive than 10bit workflows)

Clients don’t know the difference between 4k 10 bit and 1080p 8bit for the most part and I can still use San Disk Extreme pro cards (that I have a bunch of) but everything is damn near 3x to 5x their standard data pricing right now and very frustrating

Well if it does happen, maybe Elon can do something about the damn mosquitoes down there. Night time at my camp there is a PITA to be outside. But there may be some sick views from the dock watching rockets blast off at least.

*If this makes them fix the roads going down there that would be fantastic.

Would be a great time for Louisiana to pull some typical Louisiana political shenanigans and just not pay their bill for the LIV event.

*Like Jindal did to IndyCar back in 2015ish when Nola had crazy rain that heavily impacted the race and the state just said “naw we’re good” when it came time to pay the promoter

This sounds exactly like an answer my wife and her friends give each other [all women really] … The idea of having a flexible schedule does not compute with them. The literally can’t function if plans call for going with the flow.

A combo of sponsors, geography, family money, & nepotism

The winter sports probably even lean heavier on the rich kids who grew up near a mountain or something like that.

Take any sledding sport for example there’s like four or five people on the Olympic luge team that just so happen to all be from Lake Placid, NY. … which is also, one of two locations in the US where someone can get on a sledding track.

They’re not all just trust fund kids trying to make it, but the Olympic committee does local outreach to find athletes that may have the aptitude for said sledding events.

Shitting on Kenzel because you hate Brian Kelly is shitty behavior. You're an embarrassment to LSU fans and should be ashamed of yourself.

Even the announcers were clowning him after calling his dad “my boy” …. It was super cringey and is rightfully clowned.

Jesus Christ, over 90 seconds in, his slow arse draw is still on the intro, and then hits the ad read…. Over 2 mins to begin the freaking point is not how you actually get listeners. Boomers still stuck thinking YouTube is just the radio…

An easy solution would be to treat CFB like professional soccer. When a player signs, that team also ‘owns’ the transfer rights. If a guy enters the portal, they can still go wherever they want, but the school they transfer too must pay the pre set transfer fee [*based on the player’s premium] to the school he left.

This way smaller schools are incentivized to develop players for big ROIs on players, and mid to top level teams get funds to replace a player that leaves.

*Plus you’re. Putting a ‘luxury cap’ on the ‘rich’ teams and will slow them from gobbling up everyone good at once.
