Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
SydneyCarton replied to bigup2dahorns's topic in Food and Travel
Apparently Nevada, although to a lesser degree Clark County, is having a tourism problem this year. And despite what the article said, it certainly didn't seem to reflect in a lower cost for my hotel in The Aria that I booked for October. Anyone else seeing anything? Any high-end values that might be cheaper than previous? https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/despite-strong-june-nevada-gaming-win-numbers-fail-to-break-record-3407733/ -

I think tearing out the rose garden, paving it over, and replacing it with a $200,000,000 gilded ballroom is a much more effective and thoughtful "fuck you, you fucking motherfuckers" than renaming the Kenedy center, imo

Bingo. Should there be another non-MAGA elected president, he/she should bulldoze on day one and replant the rose garden. Name it as memorial to Virginia Louise Giuffre. Make this his official portrait:

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?

"IF" tariffs take effect, amirite incredulity? -
This point and post are very, very important. Because that is absolutely where we are: lies are displays of absolute power. They are not told to create an alternate truth, they are told because fuck you what are you gonna do about it?

Much respect to Falvey for shooting straight. That's too rare in this game.

Dial it down? I'm pretty sure they turn it up. Just think about his medical at the start of season 3.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Captainant replied to Captainant's topic in Daily Texan
birthright citizenship is officially on the chopping block. The President of the United States is using the same mechanism used to pass slave status across generations, only applied to immigration status. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/07/trump-birthright-citizenship-supreme-court-ice-maternity-ward.html To that end, USCIS declared flatly that the children of immigrants who are “unlawfully present” will “no longer be U.S. citizens at birth.” They will, instead, inherit the status of their parents, rendering them detainable and deportable as infants and throughout their lives. There is no indication that the government will provide some grace period before snatching up and imprisoning this new underclass of noncitizen babies; they are apparently subject to arrest from the moment of birth. ... The next section of the memo explains how the administration plans to deny citizenship to children born in the United States to parents who have “lawful but temporary” presence here. Trump’s order itself clarifies that kids whose parents have “a student, work, or tourist visa” would no longer be eligible for citizenship. But USCIS went much further, laying out a dozen other categories of immigrants whose offspring would be ensnared by the policy—even though their parents reside in the country legally. Its list includes immigrants who have received “withholding of removal” under the Convention Against Torture, immigrants granted Temporary Protected Status, and Dreamers protected by DACA. The agency left no stone unturned: It even declared that children of Micronesian parents fall under the order, even though Micronesians have every right to live and work in the U.S. under a 1986 treaty. (That treaty constituted a small reparation after the U.S. tested atomic weapons on Micronesia for more than a decade.) How will the federal government know whether a baby’s parents have “lawful but temporary” status, rendering the child ineligible for citizenship? USCIS does not say, but there is only one possibility: The government will begin to demand to see every parent’s legal status before acknowledging their child as a U.S. citizen. Only babies with at least one parent who is a citizen or green-card holder will be recognized as American. All others will be excluded at birth. -

Like many transplants, I came to know his music through the Tornados and Los Super Seven. He always seemed like a bright light full of talent. RIP, Flaco.

I think if I had to compare him to Texas receivers, he's a mix of Cotton Speyer, Brent Duhon, Bill Boy Bryant, and the Shipley brothers. -

Markets still falling like whoa
LurkingHorn replied to Llano Estacado's topic in Business and Markets
The next inflation report just got a whole lot more interesting. Jobs showing signs of cracking already and then if inflation ticks higher on top of that? Yowza. -
I am super glad I waited….but I don’t know if that’s just rationalizing my decision or if that was actually the best choice. I do know this, I’ve knocked down 30-35 shots off my “handicap” which I don’t even know if one has a handicap when you never ever hit a drive on the (correct) fairway. My irons and putting would likely make me an 80s player bow but my drives are still pulling my score up 5-7 shots I bet. I only bought a package of ten lessons and my coach devoted 95% of time to finding my swing on irons/chips/putts and 5% on driver. Well, my game absolutely reflects that prioritization since we ran out of time. i also practiced the equivalent of what you smartly outlined. I have spent hours and hours on this new found hobby….obsession. Taking a break from lessons for a bit and just pounding balls (huh?) every other day for an hour or so. and yes, getting old sucks!! I’m in decent shape and have pulled a groin and strained a hamstring in last twelve months….after only pulling one muscle in 48 years of a quite active lifestyle. It’s one of the reasons I’ve started playing golf and giving up some other choices.

2025 Boston Red Sox: Anti-Torpedo Countermeasures
Mittens replied to MuellerHorn's topic in Baseball
This is where I'm at. Now, go DO SOMETHING in the offseason instead of leaving us wanting, again. I fear that Breslow fucking sucks and FSG isn't what it needs to be to really contend for titles. -

John and Lance this morning said they way they negotiated Correa's money and which players they sent out, Astros are now $34k below tax threshold. I doubt they add anyone else.
