    UNC Sports Hot Stove: UNC Basketball

    I understand that sentiment but the thing's gotta get built with somebody's money. My recollection is that for conference games the student allotment was 6,000 seats, which would be around 25-30% of seats. (There were fewer student seats for non-conference games, and even fewer for the games...

    Politics Robeson County judicial system

    Dems have certainly not covered themselves in glory in this respect, especially in the 90s, but I do think a lot more people on the left are genuinely interested in prison reform than on the right. The operators of private prisons have a lot of influence on the right, especially at the moment.

    I mean, yeah, obviously any sane country would want to tighten its gun laws when something like this happens

    Sports College Basketball 2025-26 season thread

    Without offering any opinion on how BPI compares to any other rankings, if you look at the actual changes in the rankings the characterization of a "shake up" - which came from the click-baity article not ESPN - is really overstated. There really was just fairly normal movement around the rankings.

    Off-Topic Legal: Duke Power cut down a tree in my yard without telling me :(

    I'm not aware of any basis for recovering attorneys' fees in this situation. In NC you generally can only get attorneys' fees where authorized by statute, and the grounds are fairly narrow. I guess you could try to spin up an unfair trade practices claim against Duke but that seems pretty...

    Off-Topic Retirement spots

    I'm likely still a couple decades away from retirement but it's good to hear all the examples of the different ways people have done it. I'm mostly a homebody, born and raised in NC and have spent most of my life here, so I think the chances of us ever moving out of NC (barring unforeseen...

    Off-Topic Retirement spots

    Have you found that it's getting any more difficult to move around from the US to EU or within the EU in the last couple years, with lots of governments trending towards more isolationism?

    Off-Topic RIP Director Rob Reiner and his wife

    Many are repulsed by it, but not so much that they won't justify supporting him and people like him on the basis that they think it ultimately brings them greater physical security, or financial security, or cultural/political power, or whatever. People are fundamentally selfish, and our brains...

    Politics Mass Shooting & Gun Violence | Shooting at Brown University

    Yep. Though more accurately, it's like 30% of the town is friends with your neighbor and another 30% really just doesn't want to get involved so they just try to ignore it.

    Politics Terrorist attack in Sydney

    If it will make you feel better we could just say it's ignorant and foolish given the number of antisemitic attacks committed by non-Muslims in recent years

    UNC Sports UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

    I'm not saying Indiana doesn't have a good players, but their roster is full of contributors who were little desired as recruits and/or did nothing of note at other programs (or the previous Indiana regime) before Cignetti came to Indiana. You can believe it's solely because they spent a lot of...
