[quote] There's a Black Mirror episode about this... I certainly think it's possible but extremely psychologically damaging[/quote] I definitely see the pros and cons to it. There's definitely a psychological effect and I could see the moral argument being that people would use it as a crutch an...
This idea came up from the recent NCIS episode (yes I'll admit I'm one of those weird people who still watches some of the episodes, lol). The episode was a situation where there was self sustaining AI that was guiding military drones. While that part of it was scary, there was one part of the st...
Thanks for all the replies. I'll admit I've only gotten through about half since I headed off to work shortly after I started the thread. Great ideas though and it makes me feel more positive about the future in terms of finding a woman. I know it won't be easy and I'm definitely working on myself p...
[quote]I hope you have money.[/quote] I make decent money but I'm no OT baller if that's what you are insinuating. Definitely middle class, so not going to get a woman simply by money. ...
I know these threads are always around and it's probably been beaten to death, but put me in the group that's struggling right now. Just turned 40 a few months ago and the dating scene seems pretty hopeless at this point. I'll admit a good amount of my situation is my own doing. I was definitely ...
Enjoyed the Masters as always. Like many I don't play golf ( outside of mini-golf and Top Golf :lol: ), so really about the only time I watch golf is the Masters and to a lesser extent the other majors. Scheffler seems like a good guy, pretty basic personality though. Also disappointed that no o...
This is a part I've never understood about the spring football leagues. I think it works best when the team cities are markets the NFL doesn't serve so it's more exciting for those areas. If it was me it would be the following cities for the UFL: San Diego Salt Lake City San Antonio (curren...
I think I would want to know just to take advantage of the time remaining. It would definitely stink as it got closer knowing I was running out of time but at first I think it would be for the best. Say I had like 5 years remaining. It's not immediate and it's far enough out to where you could pr...
[quote]Ok. I’ll correct, if you aren’t comfortable driving in rain, pull over. [/quote] This is always such a terrible argument. Have you seen Louisiana roads? While I don’t 100% disagree it’s not always feasible to immediately pull over. To me it can put you in more danger. I know for me ...
[quote]Alabama: The use of hazard lights is permitted while driving unless otherwise posted. Alaska: The use of hazard lights is not permitted while driving.

[quote]Oh, and it's illegal. That is all. [/quote] Not always. Several states it is legal. Here in Florida it's legal and expected during heavy rains. I always put my flashers on during really heavy rain. It helps the person behind you to be able to see you when the wipers can't keep up. ...
To me Dawn Staley is one of those people that you respect as a coach but not as a person. I don't debate at all that the top 3 coaches right now in WBB are Geno, Dawn and Kim (honestly the only 3 WBB coaches I really know :lol: ) and you could make an argument for any of them to be the best coach in...

[quote]Mark Pope would be on the list well before Ford.[/quote] I could see that but I don't see him being high profile enough to really move the needle for UK fans. I wouldn't say he's an improvement over Cal besides just being a former UK player and just being someone different than Cal....
[quote]I'm sorry that your favorite school is a basketball school and men's college basketball has been dying a slow death for the last 25 years.[/quote] It's still by far the second biggest college sport and the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament is the best tournament by far. The NCAA Men's Baske...
Oats isn't going to leave Bama yet but he just became more expensive. In addition to the new contract my guess is a new arena is going to have to be guaranteed and the timeline pushed up to now. ...

[quote] Not a chance in hell Travis Ford gets hired at Kentucky.[/quote] Far more of a chance than Kentucky getting Hurley, Donovan, Wright or Stevens. And significantly more of a chance than Kentucky getting Oats (who everyone knows is waiting for the NBA or Michigan State)....
I truly think UK fans are going to be surprised at what happens with their coaching search. While I don't debate UK is a blue blood in college basketball, with NIL I really think UK and the other blue bloods have lost a significant amount of the advantage and prestige they previously had. With N...

I just don't see it. Neither Billy Donovan nor Brad Stevens are coming back to college. Jay Wright is too comfortable being an analyst, I think if Jay Wright went back into coaching he's going to the NBA or right back to Villanova. UK fans conveniently forget that Jay Wright is absolutely a Phill...
