  1. Past hour
  2. I’m in Copenhagen so this game starts at 2 am. I don’t see a prediction thread but i think I wake up to a 27-7 win.
  3. Need to get BJ in for Odobert soon.
  4. Objection!
  5. Unbelievable that this FFR is somehow seen as a good coach. Klatt loves the guy.
  6. Texas totally irrelevant on the pregame shows this morning. Not a single mention. Not even part of a segment to shit on Arch. Complete and total irrelevance. Gonna have to earn their way back somehow
  7. slightly adjacent topic: downsizing I kinda want a smaller condo or small house in retirement. Ideally lock and leave, but I could make do with turning the water off in a house. We would try to save the difference, and use that money for a family vacations (like a week long Neuces river rental or beach rental) on our dime when the kids are older or maybe with grandkids. But I keep penciling the math, and I don't see a huge savings. Our house is smallish (but NW Austin, so the value is the lot), so realistically a smaller place only nets us $100-150k equity. Gotta live somewhere. The difference in taxes is often soaked by a HOA fee. I suppose its the utilities and cost of maintenance we'd benefit from. I dunno. Might make sense just to fix up this place (its a one story). I almost... almost... see the logic in a 55+ active retiree community with gym, pool, etc. Paying rent is a drag, but basically all costs would be predictable and no big maintenance hits.
  8. I don’t think he really cares anymore, he probably has plenty of money. If he took half his salary every year and used it to buy up trailer parks, he probably owns the whole state by now. Plus all the mineral rights, wait is meth a mineral?
  9. Sure, they’ve been more than willing to watch the suffering that’s already happened, but: This. Restrictions on birth control, restrictions on women voting and working, mass extermination or imprisonment of people based on religion, race, gender, sexual preference, economic status, or political affiliations…these are all things we are on track to start seeing and I am not sure Trump supporters will stay faithful through all of that. It might be too late to change anything by the time they wake up, so it might not matter.
  10. Good sequence, now we're right back in it!
  11. 18% is likely made up of people who still have their good job and their 401(k)s are doing great. This too shall pass.
  12. Opened a CO2 tank huh.
  13. White women ain’t gonna do shit
  14. Today? 50-55, and at least two of them are divorced and in the midst of a sexual re-awakening. So….in.
  15. quoting myself from 2 years ago... fwiw ERS now offers a "COLA-ish" annuity option: +2% fixed rise every year. I will pick that (bought 3 years, now eligible 2031). The 100% spouse option was about 94% of just my life (we abiut the same age), and looks like the cola is 77% or that. Still makes retirement planning way easier. My budget and retirement spreadsheets show we could retire at age 52/51. Wife has TRS (and AISD so also social security). More than kikely we would enjoy our mandatory 3+ months break. Wife still wants to teach, so part time or sun for her. I could try to find a 50% part time attorney job. That income is just bonus - or subsidizing college or just iut of college kids. What I really want is to take 2-3 week vacations in late Sept/October and March/ April, when shoulder season weather is cool and the summer tourists aren't so crazy.
  16. Good one, Kahuna Horn. In my dotage (74) and since Bama’s off this week, I was reflecting on autumn Saturday mornings at my in-laws circa 1970-2000, which were joyfully entertaining. Never been a morning drinker, but there’s a first time for everything. Good luck tonight over the Shoustons.
  17. Lando had a great chance to start on the front row and potentially make up most of the points to Piastri in one race. Then qualifies 7th. Challenging conditions, to be sure, but Liam Lawson figured them out.
  18. Well I've got things I can do I guess
  19. I don’t. But spurs need to dig deep.
  20. JPeg bowed up. Or Katie failed, either way.
