  1. Past hour
  2. He was a much older lawyer when I was a young lawyer, so I didn't get to know him that well. He had a pretty good rant about gay marriage one time that I always appreciated, especially coming from a guy his age. Reminded me of that old school Austinite style of libertarian, who just aggressively defended people's right to do whatever they want as long as they weren't hurting anyone. Late in his career he took a case that I happened to have a personal interest in and it never sat right with me. Kind of soured my memory of him. I really can't blame him for defending someone, but I also can't shake my personal feelings about it. But he was definitely a character who epitomized a by-gone era in the city.
  3. Yep. Median IQ is (by definition) around 100. Think of how....not smart....people with a 100 IQ are. It's not great, folks.
  4. The Lowe's in Lindale had halloween candy out on Sunday. I'm not sure if it was just trying to offload last year's, or 2025 stock.
  5. That should happen to all "influencers" who video themselves eating in a restaurant
  6. I don’t think they go solely man to man. Teams these days mix coverages.
  7. Kidney bean shaped pond? Weird.
  8. The Holidays keep coming earlier and earlier in this fucking country
  9. Hey, he'll let you fuck his wife, as long as he gets to watch.
  10. Man, I bet the beer flowed and chundering soon commenced. Hope you took cover when the thunder started.
  11. You will scream loud enough for the posters here to hear you
  12. Never tried Vegemite. I think both get vile reviews. Apparently Marmite has a strong umami taste. I may rescue the jar and use it for stews when winter rolls around.
  13. Well, as a previously married for 40+ years, getting ready to be a newly single, I find myself considering things I never really thought about before. I must have missed the Texas Exes travel brochure on the "Sexy Time with European Leaders Package." I agree 100% about the European leadership, particularly the female leaders. Dynamic, outspoken, with a "Damn the Torpedoes" mindset, to do what is right, regardless of the consequences. Thomas Jefferson would be proud. The fact they're soft on the eyes should not be held against them. I, on the other hand ...
  14. No way we are losing to pig.
  15. Yep. Roy Minton was a household word in that smaller Austin. Colorful character.

  17. His intelligence is somewhere around the median American's.
  18. And the Eze rumors are getting louder
  19. I as I said above, I was counting down from what I thought would be a low point. Bush 42 also pardoned all the Iran-Contra defendants on a Christmas Eve. I'm just saying he wasn't an idiot. I completely agree about brains not being mistake proof.
  20. A few random thoughts after episode 3: 1. In a case with both incriminating and exonerating evidence, the filmmaker has a lot of power to influence your opinion. In this case, it seems like Margaret Brown had a shit ton of hours of "confession" footage to pick from, and she could show either the most absurd moments (things that objectively couldn't have been true) or the most incriminating moments to push us either way. 2. The fact that two of the suspects in completely separate interviews told a story about one of them (Scott?) attempting to rape a girl but being unable to "perform".... I mean, that seems like a HIGHLY specific and consistent anecdote where it strikes me as EXTREMELY unlikely that each of them just came up with that detail independently. 3. It occurs to me that this might be a case study of the failures of the Reid interview techniques: it generates confessions (often false) from the weaker and arguably less-culpable suspects, but fails to obtain one from a the ringleader/sociopath. There doesn't seem to be any dissent from either these four suspects or from law enforcement or from the "creek people" who casually knew them that Maurice was the "alpha" among these four (though lately that term is wildly overused). 4. My observations in both #2 and #3 might be wholly due to #1.
  21. and owen caissie (the of call-up) goes yard.
  22. ********* Not trying to sound like an insider shield********** I got to talk to Arch this summer at a party. He is passionate about Texas and has been since he was a kid. He said he’s not in a hurry to leave and said if they don’t reach their goals this year then they will still have the 2026/27 season. ********* Not trying to sound like an insider shield ********
  23. https://www.on3.com/softball/news/softball-to-seed-32-teams-for-2026-ncaa-tournament/ NCAA will seed the top 32 teams next year, as opposed to just the top 16 After multiple years of discussion, NCAA softball will follow the footsteps of Women’s Volleyball & Women’s Soccer, seeding 32 teams. This does not change the 16 national seeds, but should help reward the top seeds with ‘easier’ matchups. The seeding will not be a straight 1-32 matchup to allow the NCAA to protect the 400-mile geographic proximity parameters when possible and prevent conference matchups in regionals. The seeding will use ‘buckets’. The 1-4 national seeds will face the 29-32 seeds in a certain order that allows the committee to still use the past parameters. If there are three SEC teams in the top four, and one SEC team in the 29-32 bucket, the SEC team will face the non-SEC host essentially. The Buckets National Seeds 1,2,3,4 – 29, 30, 31, 32 National Seeds 5, 6, 7, 8 – 25, 26, 27, 28 National Seeds 9, 10, 11, 12 – 21, 22, 23, 24 National Seeds 13, 14, 15, 16 – 17, 18, 19, 20 If done last year, Texas would have had a #2 seed like Virginia (#27) in their regional, instead of #31 (UCF). #1 aggy would have had #32 Arizona State, instead of #26 Liberty Not huge differences, tbh
