  1. He was on Fallon last night. The clip they showed looked interesting. I'll probably check it out.
  2. Some perspective on Tanev from The Athletic. Routinely logs heavy minutes against the best forwards on the other teams:
  3. Who was the worst bible salesman? Candidate #1 Candidate #2
  4. Go figure -- GQP'ers making fucky-fucky out there. The Twitter account that MAGA Twitter is saying is Merchan's daughter was created out of thin air. Her real account is actually private and has been since Merchan was assigned the Trump case. https://thespectator.com/topic/donald-trump-claim-hush-money-judge-daughter-false-loren-merchan/
  5. Shit, I didn't realize he was the founding chairman for the No Labels party.
  6. The bridge in Corpus has always freaked me out. I used to like going over it as a kid but somewhere along the way, not so much. I once walked across the bridge over the Royal Gorge as a teenager and that's freaky as hell for somebody with a fear of heights like me. I could see through the slats all the way down, IIRC. I off-handedly said to my dad that it would really suck to be a bird who was afraid of heights (there were a bunch of birds flying around up there). Anyway, my dad took that kernel of wisdom and has written a series of children's books about a bird who is afraid of heights. (Still waiting for the family to get rich off those -- oh well ...)
  7. Not necessarily. Everything is based off each individual's insurance score (claims history, credit score, if you pay on time, etc), the location of the risk, protection of the risk, prior loss history of the risk and so on. You and I can look at the exact same house and apply for insurance and get two wildly different quotes from the same carrier. Hell, you might get a different rate if you rate the policy with your spouse's name first in some cases. Not to mention, some carriers offer premium breaks at certain coverage limits. For instance, it might actually be cheaper to insure a home for $1M with Chubb (using them as an example) as opposed to $950K. Shit like that.
  8. USAA definitely loosened the rules for eligibility in the last decade or so to let more and more people qualify. Personally, I think it's hurt the brand in that it has stretched them thin. To my knowledge, you don't have a dedicated agent that is your go-to person at USAA. It's a call center. For everything. My clients get me, my primary account manager -- and then a team of other account managers in my office in the event that neither one of us is immediately available.
  9. Don't think we have a NewsMax thread but they're definitely Fox-adjacent, though probably even further off the deep end. According to WaPo, Qatari royal invests $50M in pro-Trump Newsmax ... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ar-BB1kzi0x

    Dallas | BBQ

    BTW, Douglas is closing at the end of this week. Doug Pickering is a friend of mine and is very friendly to the TDC and our BBQ event. I don't the concept was right for Snider Plaza as it was pretty expensive and that's more of a family dining scene there. Also, the parking is terrible. The BBQ was excellent, as was the burger (spendy, though). We went for my 50th birthday dinner a few years back with my in-laws and while I enjoyed it, I thought the steak could've been better (for the price). Felt it was too smoky.
  11. Shit, my bad. Didn't see they lost to Montreal tonight as well. Great night for the Stars!
