    100% spot on. Hence that call out that this is a RE play and has jack shit to do with solving anything. He found a loophole to build in the nicest part of CA that he can cash out on Even better. Sell your loophole, avoid all the aggravation of building/codes/etc. and sail off into the sunset with fatter pockets.
  4. If the peace agreement is poorly translated from Russian and the phrasing only works in Russian, then it's clear that on the American side, we didn't even bother to read it fully, absorb its meaning, and put it into "our own words," so to speak. This is a lazy (and desperate) copy/paste job from the Kremlin. As to the specifics, why are there no stipulations on the size of the Russian military or with whom they can align militarily, like, say, Iran, China, or North Korea? If NATO can't have soldiers in Ukraine, why can Russia keep troops in Belarus? I mean, if the purpose of neutering Ukraine's military and not having Western soldiers in Ukraine is to create a "neutral buffer" for security, then we should demand the full withdrawal of Russian troops from Belarus. Or shit, if I were at the negotiating table and Russia insisted Ukraine give up land, then I'd insist that Russia should give up Kaliningrad Königsberg and maybe transfer ownership over to Ukraine. If this is all about security and clean boundaries between the West and the East, and Ukraine is just "pawn in game of life," then let's go all in. This world's greatest dealmaker we have sure seems shitty at serious negotiations.
  5. You know, my memory sucks today. That Drip/Grinder combo I had was not a Cuisinart. Whatever it was, it required the basket to be rotated around to sit under the grinder. After grinding, it was supposed to swing back between the water-shower arm mechanism and the carafe. The machine regularly failed to trigger the basket movement and we would end up with watery mess all over the counter. The Cuisinart Grind & Brew is a sensible design.

    He ain’t building shit. He’s going to get it entitled and then sell the entitled property.
  7. Cruz has been getting his daughter to try and sacrifice herself for years now, just by being her dad.

    NIMBYism

    So trickle down.....that could "theoretically" free up housing downstream by building in arguably the most expensive piece of RE in the country.....unless they are first-time homebuyers or renters dying to live in a prestigious zip code. If the state really wanted to look at solutions to lower housing prices, you start by not building in the most expensive zip code in the state. There are three things that make housing affordable or not: the rate, the amortization period, and the amount financed. CA is looking to reinstate their "Dream for all" program in '26. If those that are familiar with the program remember, it was a shared equity solution where the state gave homebuyers up to a 20% DPA. Upon sale of the house, the state receives 20% of the sale of the house. WA state experimented with this as well. You can offer a focused approach with a program like this if you really want to help people, especially teachers, first responders, etc that can never afford to live in the communities they support. For ex. School districts could offer this as an employment perk for new/existing teachers to shop for homes closer to the schools, knowing they can now put up to 20% down. The elasticity of their purchase power is now stretched considerably. Firefighters, LEO, etc could do the same.
  9. Anthology 4 out today. Some really cool stuff.
  10. I am Spartacus.
  11. I just realized that this is the .357 SP101. Aren’t you a big 327 guy? I still may buy the SP101 .327 but it doesn’t come shorter than 3”, and that’s why I haven’t bought one yet. I would have already bought one if it came with the same 2.25” barrel configuration that the .357 has above.
  12. The fact that he is promoting a peace plan for Ukraine written by Russia speaks volumes.
  13. I never said otherwise. JFC. I'm making fun of your fucking gossip column and then citing google. I need to figure out this ignore feature stat.
  14. LOL. Have you watched this season play out there is zero fear

    NIMBYism

    I'm no finance or real estate expert, but I think this premise is very questionable. I may be wrong, but I'm guessing that when supply increases, demand will also increase, and the demand for these new units will far outstrip the supply, because who wouldn't love to have a Beverly Hills address in their real estate portfolio? If the demand is stronger than the supply, the prices aren't dropping, and may actually increase, but then again, I'm just guessing.
  16. And which can put their base to sleep faster.
  17. The bigger issue is these calls aren't called evenly for each team. Also, they allow that kind of contact all night and then choose that moment to call it. Same shit that goes on in basketball. Refs pick and choose when to insert themselves into the game with no consistency.
  18. I land in a few hours 🤤
  19. Texas' path to the 10th spot and playoff birth Needs: Finish 9-3 with wins over Arky and Aggy Move up 7 spots and get to the 10th seed to avoid ACC and G5 champs Teams that can still drop enough for Texas to jump. #8 Oklahoma- Games vs Mizzou and LSU. Need 1 loss here #9 Notre Dame- Syracuse is the only game left they could lose. #10 Alabama- A loss in the iron bowl to Auburn is always a possibility. A SECCG loss does nothing for us unless it is a major blowout. #11 BYU- Cincinnati is their final test this weekend. Would need this or a Tech blowout in the Big 12 championship. #12 Utah- Finishes with the Kansas schools who are both down this year. Need 1 of 2. #13 Miami- Pitt in the final week is the final hope. Likely out of the ACC championship so would be an at large competitor to ND if both finish 10-2 #14 Vandy- Tennessee in the final week looms large. A 10-2 Vandy and 9-3 Texas would be a tough convo for the committee who seems to not care about H2H this year. #15 USC- A loss to Oregon tomorrow does the trick. If USC wins tomorrow then they will be the leader in the clubhouse over Texas. #16 Georgia Tech- With an almost certain loss to Georgia they will need to win the ACC to get in. I feel we will move a minimum of 2 spots with the Vandy H2H and a likely loss for USC this weekend. Miami and OU could easily lose one more. Utah should win out but they have been middling most weeks.
  20. Lol, not my first rodeo. I too thought Sark was a mid hire, and while I mock the aggie style of "2 semis put it on the wall" logic I too was impressed by Sarks performance in getting to the CFPs. For the record I thought Sark was another very mid project hire, just like the others prior to his arrival all the way back to Mackovic, like you. That said something became painfully obvious this year, well lots of things but one thing in particular. Last year, I own I was very critical of Quinn. I had high expectations for Arch and hoped with the right QB the ship would set sail. I was horribly wrong in both regards. The issue last year wasn't Quinn and this year isn't Arch. @Thatguy tried to make it clear (though I still disagree with some of his logic) but I couldn't see the forest for the trees. I saw bits and pieces on occasion. I had the puzzle mostly put together but didn't have the finished picture so was lost. This particular aspect is why I am so vehemently frustrated with Sark. In retrospect, knowing the full picture, and to a degree, I saw most of it last year, Texas had a championship caliber team. Truly. From D to QB, from OL to LB. Now ST were not great but thats a separate issue. Penalties and RZ performance kept Texas from winning a national championship. That's 100% coaching issues. That torques me, a lot. Then this year came, D has gone poop and what I still believe to be generational talent a QB is being squandered because of horrible off season choices, terrible offensive schemes and a myriad of other coaching blunders. So if it is getting worse, and I'm accurate in my assessment that NIL doners are frustrated and likely to pull money with Sark at the helm... well.... the future is bleak. Maybe I'm wish casting to prevent the doom I perhaps incorrectly see coming next year. The tea leaves I'm reading support my position, but the truth is I'm a coffee guy so wtf do I really know. Nobody reads coffee grounds.
  21. This analysis was pretty spot on. He called for 80 if 95 broke. We made it 80,700 and finally got decent bounce. I put a drop in the bucket and reset some small daily buys for fun. Thank you for this post. It means we're getting near a bottom. I'm not very smart, but this explanation seems pretty feasible to me.
  22. Tender / Non-tender deadline is at 4:00 pm central.
  23. * SEC is going to a 9-game schedule next year * not all SEC teams schedule a total cupcake in late November (ahem)
  24. Cruz vs Vance is truly the battle of "which of these assholes will sacrifice their own children for power faster?"
