  1. Past hour
  2. He has to know that the next president is going to get rid of all this shit. It would be really embarrassing to have the name of a twice impeached convicted felon and rapist all over the place.
  3. A 70+ percentage acceptance rate certainly isn’t the flex an institution of higher learning should be reaching toward.
  4. Our DEI group I think is a way to account for some money going to certain projects- and give structure to the whole endeavor. There isn’t someone drawing a salary to be DEI coordinator or anything else, but there are different groups (ECG or something- employee community groups or a similar term) like black employee group, lgbtq, Asian and Pacific Islander, etc. it’s all voluntary and not restricted to actually being a member of the group, I could join any of them if I felt compelled. they get budgets for education and outreach, might raise funds for things, and generally try to help their group. and that is internal stuff, aside from the goal of recruiting talent from all over to build the best teams. Those groups probably help with this aspect as well. If you have a science day at a mostly tribal school, for instance, it probably helps to have NA folks there participating and sharing their experience. so yes, the government should absolutely be taking part in DEI activities. Or put another way, why would someone not want to be diverse, equitable, and inclusive- or not want their government or employer to be such?
  5. you're wearing Texas gear right ?
  6. I’m with you on most of your basketball takes but…
  7. As a child of the 60's, are blacklight posters still a thing?

    Top 10 2025

    I love these dudes
  9. except they seem to turn it over a lot against OU. they did last year, too. something about Venables' defense gives them issues.
  10. That’s what she said.
  11. Damn, he just picked up offers from Oregon and Ohio St. this week too.
  12. That was quick.
  13. Maybe he needs to yell some more
  14. and Guinness Zero is better than regular Guinness
  15. Really hoping he returns to form, he played really well before his injury. Although I think even before injury he could be had in the pass game.
  16. Just depends on what kind of organization you work with. There's more to it than the job application stuff, but that's what most can relate with. Most of my career has been in publicly facing roles that involve significant community input, including economic development, downtown revitalization, historic preservation, and other planning-related projects. So, on that kind of stuff, you want to get as many perspectives as possible. Say, for example, you're working on a downtown revitalization plan, and the group you're working with is folks from the community, but they're all white people who live in the nice neighborhoods on the edge of town. They love their little downtown, but they don't actually shop there much, except for that nice restaurant on the corner or that cute little boutique a couple of doors down. Sometimes, what they're really just interested in is preserving the buildings: a community pride thing. Then you start running some numbers or look around and see that the neighborhoods are populated by Black or Hispanic (potential customers who can conveniently shop downtown), but they've never been invited to the downtown revitalization table to provide their input. Well, from a market demand standpoint, it's kind of idiotic not to include them, but somehow it never dawned on the white folks to get their ideas. Getting them involved is essentially DEI. The same could be said for internal operations. Maybe there's a committee or something, planning I-don't-know-what within your very large organization, but everyone at the table is from a single demographic group. Well, that's kind of dumb. You should want a diversity of perspectives. I don't claim to be an expert on all this, but really, that's the kind of thing that might go beyond just casting a wider net for talent recruitment, like, say, holding a job fair at a Historically Black College or University or a Hispanic-Serving Institution, for example.
  17. What the fuck I was curious so I pulled up my last PC build, each 16GB stick of DDR5 was $41 back in April. The exact same SKU is on sale now for $175, with a normal price of $400 per stick. What the absolute fuck lmao
  18. You had me at Intensity. I saw the tag line on phone last night... PK Fired ...WT holy Fuck?????? Muschamp ... Oh, Ok. Sorry about PK, but ... "... when you can upgrade, do it every time. he has produced some of the best and most physical defenses we've had in a long, long time stop the god damned penalties, stop talking about culture and demand attention to detail at every level and win fucking games. One of the very best pure coaches on a side of the ball that has ever donned the burnt orange and white has returned to Austin. Make no mistake, this was a very good day for Texas football. What I absolutely love about Muschamp as a coach and person begins before an install, video breakdown, play call or scheme. It's the intensity, the passionate communication, the non-stop motor, a fire that burns constantly, the way he challenges his defensive players to bring the best out of them, the demand for physicality, the demand to be detail oriented of his players which creates discipline. The spending time with family..." I'm 100% behind this. I liked PK, but his late game defense was the equivalent of Herman's turtling offense. Those late game collapses hurt us, even if we won the games. The scoreboard made easy wins look like close games. Boom was Sark's 1st choice. I think that's where the list ended. Muschamp had a kid at Georgia; that was an easy decision for him. When my company was acquired, I asked my new boss for a job description. He took his feet off my desk, grabbed a sticky note, and handed it to me; "MAKE MONEY!" "Now, which word do you not understand?" Boom doesn't send mixed signals. His style of communication is more direct. His personality and style of play resonates with players. I think he will get Texas over the top and on recruiting a lot of star players that we almost get, but finish 2nd. Coach Boom brings a passion and intensity that has been in short supply for a very long time. Somebody has to energize the team. We have a lot of great players that are good people, culture guys, but they are all of the "walk softly and carry a big stick" kind of guys. Somebody has to charge up the team emotionally. Muschamp will find it, bring it out, and cultivate it. And equally important, that passion and intensity will bleed over to the offense. Early on, someone alluded to the notion that prospective new offensive coaches were in the playoffs. I thinking there's more to come.
  19. There are 3-5 out there now. I believe a couple are not in use though.
  20. we've been through this, in this thread, with a different poster
  21. Nacua when na-cuclear for me, but Parkinson's dud is sticking in my craw. Which is funny because if Nacua scored 23 and Parkinson scored 20, I'd have been ecstatic. I finally decided to get away from Kincaid. I looked at Parkinson, Waller, Loveland, and Fannin, and after all that hand wringing, I started a TE that will be worse than Kincaid this week.
  22. I was a student for that game, the building shook after that hit.
  23. "It was devastating . . . What about the middle-class citizens who work hard for their money?" You voted for a convicted scam artist. Who do you think scam artists target?
  24. I've met a few aggy this fall from various functions with my wife's work and daughter's dance team. One thing that stands out is that they IMMEDIATELY question whether you actually went to UT or not. Like it's some sort of flex that their only fans are alumni (which isn't even remotely true anyways). This lady at my wife's christmas party challenged me about it by saying "do YOU have a ring?" and I told her that "No, only high school kids and aggies wear class rings".
  25. Man I like these shirts
