I think TLJ deserves plenty of the criticism it got. The Canto Bight side quest, the contrived car chase in space, the completely avoidable situations if people would just take two seconds to explain their reasoning (also a bit of a meta commentary on the entire story team at Lucasfilm at the time) just led to a big mess for much of the film. There were elements I enjoyed like the Siege on Crait and the throne room battle. And I didn't even bump up all that hard against Luke's ending, but you sure have to wade through some dreck to get to those good bits.

RoS was a course correcting mess that gave us space horses. If they released a new movie tomorrow that started with that RoS being a fevered Force dream by Rey, I doubt there is more than a soul or two on this planet that would care about its erasure.

Weren't the space horses in the Canto Bight side quest in TLJ? I've blocked most of RoS from my mind. I understand the criticism of TLJ, but it took chances, particularly regarding The Force, that were novel in the film series (perhaps they had existed elsewhere), such as the idea that The Force could "belong" to anybody (e.g. Broom Boy). Everything that made TLJ interesting (also the stuff that made the fanboys hate it) was abandoned. Instead of Rey being an "anybody", which was set up beautifully by TLJ, she was somehow a descendant of Palapatine? Good grief. And now the Skywalker name is part of the Palapatine genetic line? Double good grief.

What is the amount that UK is rumored to be offering? $5 million? If so...and he is on the bubble between 1st/2nd round...he should take that money without zero regrets! I wanted him to come back as much as anyone on this board...but I wouldn't blame him one bit if he takes that much money and plays for UK!

So he should regret it?

Paraglider hit by plane and lives

My daughter paraglided in the Swiss Alps last summer. There is zero chance my wife would have allowed her to do that if this came out before then.

I wonder who was technically "at fault" in this scenario. When we talked to our guide, he said that paragliders, base jumpers and scenic flights all had designated areas so there was no overlap. Granted, that was Switzerland and not Austria, but I would imagine similar airspace rules would apply.

some of you people are so hung up on the cheat code that was his 3 point shot, but ISU has a chance to have a completely different identity and get back to beating teams up and taking their lunch money. i am excited for a different team this fall.

i am not saying i wont miss milan. he did everything the coaches asked of him, exceeded all expectations, and was a good dude while doing it.

also, name 1 player that portaled out of ISU for money and performed as good or better at their new school? any sport.

So, Google updated and rebranded the Fitbit app as Google Health. Last night I couldn't sleep at all which was the exact opposite of what I would have thought being as tired as I was.
At 1:30 am Google decided to send me a notification that it noticed I was having trouble sleeping and if they could help. They could help by not pinging me at 1:30 am :mad:

One time when my mom was tired I asked her why she didn’t take a nap. She told me she was too tired to sleep. That one always slightly confused me.

Nah, it will finally start then. If he withdraws from the draft and goes to Kentucky, this thread will go at least another 27 pages on NIL, bluebloods, stingy ISU fans, JP will catch some strays. Plenty of room left for discussion. If he stays, there will be a bit less fruit on the vine but I would never doubt cyfan.

27 pages? try 27 months.
