  1. Past hour
  2. In any rational world, we'd be seeing some serious betting action on a rate increase, not decrease in September. You'd think the Fed would be looking at these numbers, decide to go full Volker, and put this last bit of inflation down for good, being willing to live with a mild to medium recession by Summer-Fall 2026 to be done with it. But we don't live in a rational world. Long term, tariffs and zero/negative immigration aren't classic inflation, in the sense of too much money chasing too few goods, but they will cause a price shock, which will likely excerbate any recession. Long term, if tariffs were to stay in place, they would suck even more money out of any already weakening economy. Like, in 1930-31......
  3. They fucked up simple things at IAH, like signs telling you where things are. I think it's the only airport we've gotten lost in and it was because there weren't enough signs.
  4. You are correct, sir!
  5. I'm late to this thread. Skimming some great stuff. Compliments to @closetojumping I wonder if A&M making themselves largely unignorable despite nobody much caring about their football program places them in a unique position to be over-rated just about every year. I think they are likely the only team of some prominence in college ball to have alumni constantly touting themselves as the next blue blood. They mantra the sleeping giant/all the advantages line until the notion finds footing in some minds of the national CFB media. At one time or another, just about all of those sports pundits pick A&M to surprise the world. At no time do the Aggies deliver more than a big upset win en route to their traditional ocho-cuatro. Now, they have established the pitiful narrative of "is this year finally the year the Aggies break through?" Nobody really wants to spend any more time on A&M than they do Michigan State or Pitt, but the annual question, just as the annual failure, remains: is this the year? They get an obligatory and cursory look flavored by the Aggie hard sell leading to this notion that they will be better than they are. The reasoning is usually applicable to all above average schools: if their QB breaks out, if the OL finally gels, if linebackers can stay healthy... Other than OU's aging MNC, I don't think the breaks have ever gone well enough for the miracle to happen. The Aggies just set themselves up, unfailingly, as a November punchline. The wages of self-promoting a self that sucks.
  6. β€œWhat do you want to see against UTSA?” thread of mostly idiocy and delusion linked below. Highlights: -At least one guy is calling them β€œtusa β€œ -40+-10 blowouts predicted repeatedly. -Table stakes for one guy is 600+yards from the Klein offense. https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3553333

  10. More road futility goodness as they’re also talking about titles in the same forum:
  11. Glad I skipped this one. I had Khamzat by boring decision in my head, and I'm too old to stay up until midnight for that anymore.
  12. Jason Burleson
  13. He's still churning through staff like crazy. I'm not in the substance abuse recovery community, but Hegseth gives very white knuckle dry drunk vibes.

  15. Sounds about right.
  16. Here's the fun part: They are sending another 800 from SC, OH, and WV and they are going to give them guns. It's basically Mogadishu here. I mean the walk across the street from my apartment to the farmer's market in SW yesterday was a bit steamy. Not sure how I would have gotten heirloom tomatoes and stone fruit without a bunch of weekend warriors standing around.
  17. Fuck you Baby Billy Freeman HaHa Surly never disappoints
  18. Those goobers change their tune faster than an Austrian yodeler on crack. It must be mighty sugared Kool Aid to sweeten up their post USC bowl game attitude.
  19. That’s right.
  20. I remember AOL dial up. I've been in technology since the early 90's, and in those days, we were selling customers T1's (only 1.5Mbps) for $2000 per month. Now you can get a gig connection for under $1000.
  21. It's pretty funny how the inflation thread got real quiet in 2025 as inflation hits record highs. 40% jump for plain vegetables from the field is gonna be about the baseline, I would think. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/inflation-alarm-bells-went-off-again-and-prices-are-rising-just-how-bad-is-it-going-to-get-6659c921
