Some people have never had their video game console restart mid-game on them because it was bumped and it shows.
Hawkeyes have a NET ranking of 20, KenPom of 18. Tight losses to Illinois and Purdue. Have now run off 6 straight B1G wins including 2 on a west coast trip. Stirtz is putting up 30+ point games.
18-5 (8-4) in one of the best conferences in the nation.
Still not ranked in the AP poll.

It is obviously not in the top 200 or so most important things about his performance but i wanted to explain that i was not posting this randomly and Bad Bunny did dedicate a small portion of his performance to discussing the 2011 NBA Finals

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

This is all that you need to know about our current President. What an absolute fucking joke and disgrace to allow him to represent this nation.

Mike Macdonald just pulling out Madden 2004 defensive schemes and calls like he knows what play his little brother is going to run.

Without a doubt, one of the most entertaining Super Bowl halftime shows in a long time. Bad Bunny crushed it! The production value was off the hook.

Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

I'm trying to not get too far ahead of myself, but I think Ayo might be enough to get the Wolves over the hump. Ant has a Robin now in the backcourt. And it was an interesting transaction because I grew up a Bulls fan and after falling out of the NBA for years came back with the Wolves in the 2010s.

Lol in case you needed more proof Bezos clearly destroyed the paper on purpose, he ignored an off ramp to save some of his employees because he didn't want them reporting at all. That is what happened. We can stop with the "why did he do this" disingenuous conversations now
Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal.

Baby this is Weird About It.
The average US male height is 5'9".
85% of American males are less than 6 feet tall.
So by your definition, the average male is short.
Only 1% of American males are 6'4" or taller.
So by that:
Very Short: < 5'5"
Short: 5'6" - 5'7"
Normal: 5'8" - 5'10"
Tall: 5'11" - 6-1"
Very tall: > 6'2"

I still can't get over seeing the Iowa Hawkeyes Men's basketball team in the top 25 in both offensive and defensive rating.

The more I look at the numbers scaling from 1 serving to 4 servings the more my brain hurts.
I'm sure the carbs are 28.25 or something and they round down for 28 at the single, which gives you the 113 for 4. Sodium rounding up? But just the numbers themselves not being 4x short circuits my noodle.
