  1. Past hour
  2. And if CJ is going for it, let's get a closer please. Maybe Garcia can cut it. Either way Luke Jackson needs to never come out of that bullpen again unless we're up 11-3 ... even then I'd rather see Zeke pitch.
  3. approximately one bombing run on Iranian nuclear facilities, and then the conversation moved right along
  4. Most regulations like the one at issue simply require that you have a plan. It's not evaluated for effectiveness, other than sometimes requiring that it have certain specific elements, that sort of thing. While I'm exaggerating SLIGHTLY for effect here, a flood plan of "hope like hell every kid is an olympic-level swimmer and tell 'em 'swim hard!'" might meet the state requirement of "have a plan." And that's not nonsensical -- the state simply doesn't have the resources (even in the best of times, with full funding of things that actually benefit the people) to do a detailed review of every emergency action plan for every licensed facility. Hell, insurance companies sometimes require that you have such a plan to qualify for coverage, but even they don't review it and say "hmm....have you maybe thought of having an evacuation component in this one?" Loss prevention/risk mitigation is done in layers. E.g., to avoid highway deaths, we 1) have well-constructed and well-maintained roads, 2) with speed limits and other cautionary requirements (curve ahead, etc.), 3) with safety requirements and inspections for large vehicles like trucks, 4) with passenger cars having crash avoidance technology (warning bells and such if you're approaching traffic too fast), 5) with passenger cars having passenger protection features (crumple zones, seatbelts, air bags). Sometimes, one or more of those fail, and people die. Often, one or more of those either prevents a collision from ever happening, or ensures that people survive when it does. All risk mitigation is like that. You can't "flood-proof" the entire world. But you can install layers of protection: 1) no structures allowed in floodways, 2) requirements that facilities in floodplains have robust flood emergency plans, shared with all visitors and guests, 3) a robust and real warning system, using cell phone notifications and river level sirens, etc. People will still die in the worst floods. But not as many as would have otherwise.
  5. Well they're currently reopening TMI to support Microsoft AI sooooooooo
  6. he respects women though
  7. Hasn't aggy bought 4 of the top 10 players in the state of Georgia? For this fucking class? Zero honesty or self awareness. Also, Sark categorically denied that $40M Kurt Bowels bullshit propaganda: Steve Sarkisian denies claims Texas spent excessively to build roster, cites 'irresponsible reporting' Steve Sarkisian responded to claims the Texas football program's payroll reached the $40 million mark, saying the figure was misleading. God I hate lying idiots.
  8. One of my first introductions to Kevin Hart, and I love that line.
  9. There a few others who knew that already. Like this guy.
  10. About what I expected. Tadej is on a completely different level. God tier cycling Jonas had a brief window to be at that level, but he’s declined while Pogi has progressed. And Visma blew up their own team today.
  11. Dear Mom and Dad, Hi. Camp Surly is… not what the website promised. The counselors are either drunk, watching reruns of the 2006 Rose Bowl or both. One of them gave a motivational speech with no pants on. I wish I were kidding. The picture I've enclosed is from our daily "Longhorn Pride" hour yesterday. Sundays are the weirdest. They make us sit in this musty old cloak room and watch videos about income disparity, climate guilt, and “unlearning binaries.” Then we journal about how we've benefited from white privilege. I just came here to canoe. Instead, they’re making us clean up after last night’s Counselor Appreciation Mixer / Vomitorium. Please come early. Love, Samantha P.S. If my counselor says “late-stage capitalism” one more time, I’m moving into the woods. Alone.
  12. We saw something on the news about people (dudes, of course) having actual emotional affairs with chat bots. We were like "What...the...fuck?" I looked at my wife and said "You know he jerks off to it, right?"
  13. Concert kiss cam goes very wrong...or very right depending on your pov.
  14. Joby Aviation (JOBY) and Rocket Labs (RKLB) are both on absolute tears right now, both up 100% in a month. I am in both but not enough. question for experienced traders -- dollar cost average into them or wait for pull backs. Both are rising on news and fundamental business trends. JOBY is pre-revenue but the business progression is pretty solid with Delta and Toyota behind them. Rocket Labs has new contracts and a rocket expected any time now that will compete with SpaceX. so buy the dips or dollar cost averaging on a stock that's surging and you believe is an explosive growth stock? I'm actually leaning toward dollar cost averaging and adding more if the incremental timing of an investment occurs during a pullback.
  15. The lack of clear and obvious, ball dominant players, actually bodes well for those of us who've been pining for a more ball and player movement based offense. With this roster I cant see us running the ball sticky offense we're used to seeing on the 40 acres.
  16. Hey Siri, how would a sitting President act and speak if he was 100% all over a known pedophile's client list? No Siri, that's too on the nose.
  17. Print, frame and hang this where it belongs: in the Louvre.
  18. Well, so much for that. Tadej is just incredible to watch.
  19. So how long after Elon said that Trump was all over the Epstein files did it magically all turn into a hoax?
  20. Bobby can reach out to anyone on most staffs inside the UT AD. It’s symbiotic and he’s not tied any single person anywhere within the org.
  21. My response was more about your implication that just because the state of Texas signed off on the plan it was a good one.
