I feel like Ryan and Co are doing a disservice by having people vote for their favorite name.

10:55am

Not a huge Marvel guy, but the new Deadpool & Wolverine looks good. How is it

Alan Schaefer

10:55am

The Deadpool movies are awesome

crimedog

The 4th wall stuff is lame IMO

Alan Schaefer

Costco sells excellent protein bars. They taste kind of like a Nutrageous candy bar.

Cougar-Duck Murderbot

10:51am

Fit Crunch is the only protein bar I can eat.

It's A Bowling Ball

10:53am

Fit Crunch are the absolute goat.

Adwight

10:57am

These are good.

Chester Copperpot

10:54am

190 calories and only 16 gms protein? It IS a candy bar.

Mister P

10:54am

Yup.

Alan Schaefer

10:55am

Snickers has 3g protein. It's not a candy bar.

CSoul

10:56am

It has 8g of fat, which is high for just 16g of protein. Definitely not the

RH84025

10:59am

I can’t take the bad aftertaste—not everyone notices it

BYU-TIFUL

10:56am

I can't either. I notice it least in Fit Crunch

It's A Bowling Ball

10:57am

Those make me sick. It tastes like a candy bar.

SausageKing

10:56am

FitCrunch are the best tasting bars I've tried.

JuicyJam

10:56am

Think and Barebell are my favorite right now.

RH84025

10:57am

Fit Crunch are the best tasting (and best textured) protein bars I have found

There were a couple good articles on Gobert that came out.

And the shine on Walker Kessler has sure rubbed off hasn't it?

He's won my respect. You can tell he has really worked hard on his game.

Jay Kay

Today at 2:42 it will be 2:42 4/24/24

VenomFarmer

Don't forget the 42 seconds...2:42:42 4/24/24

Six Foot Seven

If only I was 42 years old today.

VenomFarmer

10:56am

Aren't 4:24 and 4:22 and 2:24 just as cool?

Yes

10:48am

Almost as cool. Wouldn't be the same pattern of 24242424.

VenomFarmer

10:55am

What time zone do I have to be in?

Is it possible that Richie and Dallin are waiting to see what

IDK but the reverse could be true. Transfers might be waiting to see what Hall

I was wondering that too.

POLL: Nine Inch Nails?

HingleMcCringleberry

10:39am

Overrated in the 90s. Properly rated now.

Longseason

Whoa. You just perfectly described how I feel about them.

Alan Schaefer

10:52am

Pretty Hate Machine is underrated. Everything else is overrated.

dYrtbYkerYder

Trent Reznor's story is inspiring for anyone trying to climb into a business

mobicurious

I'm ambivalent to them, but the video for Closer is so trippy and cool.

It never ceases to amaze me how well mormons run distance....

Goatnapper'96

Word of Wisdom, boredom and altitude are my guessing reasons.

Soupie

10:37am

I think a deep religious and cultural grasp of incremental improvement helps as

Goatnapper'96

10:40am

Also...Utah/LDS communities tend to have really well organized

Goatnapper'96

10:48am

There also seems to be a dramatic uptick in the number of Utah HS teams being coached at a very high level.

Joe Banks

10:55am

Fwiw, the national average drop in time due to shoes, social media, and the Internet is only about 2-3 seconds.

Joe Banks

10:43am

Running for the late Sherald James was an honor and privilege.

Forbidden Fruit

10:49am

Built Cookies and Cream Chunk bars are so freaking good.

jacobugath INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

10:28am

How can you stand the texture? The texture makes you have to gag them down.

Chester Copperpot

10:30am

Of the bar itself or the chunk part? The chunk part is the best part.

jacobugath

10:32am

The bar. I can't eat them. Barbells are a million times better.

Chester Copperpot

10:33am

I've never eaten a barbell. Seems like it would damage my teeth. I also notice the C and C Chunks are no longer on the

jacobugath

10:34am

Sorry, Barebells

Chester Copperpot

10:36am

Those are very expensive. Barebells sells them for cheaper on their website. About $25 per 12 bars after their latest

jacobugath

10:40am

I've had both and I disagree with you. Built Puffs have a far superior texture.

BlueOptimist

10:48am

Refrigerate them and it’s a better texture.

Ron Mexico

10:33am

Or just not buy them.

Chester Copperpot

10:35am

Or not be a pansy . . .

LakeshowCougs

10:40am

Not spending money on something I don't like is being a pansy? The only reason

Chester Copperpot

10:44am

No if a built bar makes you gag, you’re a pansy

LakeshowCougs

10:46am

That's why the puff is the only way.

whoneedscorners?

10:48am

I love the Puff bars. They remind me of an old Canadian candy bar Big Turk.

kotacoug

10:33am

They weren't a few years ago. Maybe they improved them?

JuicyJam

10:52am

I’m chuckling at all the posters on here saying JxRob won’t make the nba

gangbusters

Yes... No one knows, but I'm guzzling the blue Kool-aide for now...

seco03

10:33am

You're right - he doesn't mention BYU. I don't know specifically what this

cougarfan84

10:39am

That makes sense.

gangbusters

10:40am

It means that player are being paid – thus forgoing the Euroleague and even the

NCAA bball is becoming big pay days for players.

idcougarfan

I was expecting a graph or source in the reply.

I would tell that young man the same thing I tell my kids.

Isn't the avg household income like $80k in Utah?

Cougar TD

9:52am

There are probably many young people living in apartments

Belboz

9:55am

I should clarify. Housing is too expensive, but incomes of young people increase

Belboz

9:57am

Even higher income requirements for tithe payers.

Zach Morris

9:56am

Earning a bunch of money and spending it on rent doesn't qualify as "increase"

dYrtbYkerYder

10:06am

So your net calculation includes subtraction of housing costs?

YIsForBrigham

I know several people who take that position.

Maybe people who make less than that should get a smaller home then?

The problem being the amount of available homes that cost less than the median
