  1. Past hour
  2. stc

    Spoon

    i had tickets for that as well. they never rescheduled and still haven't played a headlining show in austin since lucifer on the sofa was released.
  3. It started off great, but only became greater when Trump expressed the same sentiment in his 100 days interview. Seriously though, it's getting tiresome listening to former personal responsibility life coaches try to convince themselves and others that they voted for the Trump that was the stickler for details guy who would implement measured, targeted tariffs at measures previously seen before, not this brand new bombastic, ADD bull in a china shop Trump.
  4. Ran into someone at the pool today training for Ironman Chattanooga. Good swim this AM. 2k meters.
  5. Do you know how the job numbers are run each month? I do, because it was my job for a year right out of grad school in the late 1990s. Each state’s labor department and without federal influence (e.g., Labor Market Information division of the Texas Workforce Commission in this state) has a section devoted to: Independently calculating the number of jobs by sector in its own state, based on a sample of data from individual employers who are required to report their staff on the payroll. These calculations are done twice monthly, with the second revised estimate simply having more data, allowing for greater accuracy as the month passes. This is a "job count" by state, county, and industry, and is continuously verified by calling HR departments around the state, cleaned up, and revised with a final "benchmark" at the end of each year. Surveying households to calculate employment and unemployment estimates on whether or not people are working. This survey is then applied to Census data, estimating the number of people over the age of 16 years (working age civilian labor force) by state and county. This is a "people count" by state and county, with major revisions only conducted each decade after the decennial census. These figures come from the individual analysts at each state’s employment commission. The only federal oversight occurs during the "benchmarking process," where analysts from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics fly in and pore over the numbers with the party responsible for each dataset. For example, I personally was responsible for defending a year of my own numbers in a two-on-one meeting with federal analysts. None of this is to say that they are precise, ball-on-accurate data. Still, I can affirmatively attest that all the calculations are performed with zero federal influence and only a modicum of federal oversight.
  6. Lulz. Same guy/thread from above ("Why it will hard to be as successful as t.u. ... ") Quick refresher: - that play happened in the *SECOND QUARTER* - had it been reversed, we would still have the first down - it would have been 1st and goal, or close to that, with Texas having offensive momentum And from TexAgs ... And ... Lulz. I would have assumed this guy was being facetious, but this is TexAgs, so ... 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️. Phew! 🙂
  7. Ah back to swinging at junk and getting out on 1-4 pitches
  8. Plus presumably around another $30MM (from above) in non-athletic department expense? Even with NIL that’s a better than 50% margin on a high top-line. Seems like solid economics to me…
  9. In a perfect world with Belyeu healthy he would be batting 2nd. Pretty common now in baseball to bat your best hitter 2nd to get them as many ABs as you can. Galvan has a .467 OBP in conference play. Next closest qualified hitter is Kimble at .385.
  10. except that is a legitimate high stick - regardless if Benn embellished it or not. Manson was careless with his stick and took a penalty. there are other, better, examples of the point you're trying to make. they are all almost as equally weak, but they exist
  11. Much better inning, Cam
  12. Just hunt the changeup. This isn't hard.
  13. Steaks and wine at La Cabrera were damn good about 15 years ago (wow I’m getting old). Looks like La Bomba de Tiempo is still going on Monday nights. Go to a soccer game. There are at least 5 teams that play in BA.
  14. I just hope Luke doesn’t get behind again tonight. I think if team goes down 2-0 again like it did last night (and luke did last week) that crowd will take hitters out of it. Need hitters to think about what they are trying to accomplish at plate. Last night they made a guy with nearly a 5 ERA looking like Nolan Ryan in his prime. Watching strike after strike, golfing at terrible pitches, no sense of zone, was a flat out ass kicking. Team has chance tonight to settle the fuck down and get to work
  15. According to a Jan 2025 article in the Austin American-Statesman, football generated $205M in revenue with $66M of expenses during FY2024.
  16. The book has been out on us. Nobody but Mia can identify one or time one up
  17. Lol. That's nowhere near the level of the shit Benn and Marchment have been doing this series. One is selling a call (which everyone in the league does) and the other is creating a call where there is nothing.
  18. They take so many strikes. Especially change ups.
  19. Mendoza schuessler Rodriguez Galvan Williams Gaspy Borba Flores Farmer
  20. could be. I just did a quick google search of the respective fees, and the information I looked at showed a management fee of .4% for VUG, which appears to be off by an order of magnitude, lulz. But the fees for both are so low, its basically noise when discussing returns of 379% and 275%. QQQ has a slightly better yield, but probably not enough to erase the difference in management fees. Really, I was just curious why you wouldn't select a Nasdaq based fund rather than a S&P based fund, if a concentration in tech was your reason for choosing VUG over SPY. Its funny though the top 10 holdings are pretty damn similar, and in my mind uncomfortably concentrated: Basically switch out netflix(QQQ) for Lilly(VUG). Its a battle of people getting fat sitting around watching NFLX vs people trying to get healthy.
  21. 4-1 Kentucky after 2 innings. Still plenty of time left for us to give up more runs
  22. Also don't forget he got his underqualified sons jobs as defensive coaches (again) and made their "GM"'s son the QB coach.
  23. So they’re saying it was Luka? lol, it was the roster, they’ll build around him. He was in the fucking finals last year with Dallas and the right roster.
