  1. Past hour
  2. Latest, darker orange is better IMO (yes, beveled OSU sucked) Thurman Thomas era OSU is still the best. More "western", cowboy-looking brand.
  3. Thanks- The national program is the one the vast majority use right, as it's cheaper? But it's limited in coverage to $250? So if you have a more valuable home you need to go private? Or do folks do the national program for the first $250K, and then get some cheaper supplemental private policy for value beyond $250K? Or is the private insurance in line when you get the higher value coverage?
  4. That’s an insult to Garret Gilbert

    I don't know how you do that anymore man, but more power to you. I usually get there around 3-ish until close. I used to go open to close to get my money's worth, but there came a point where it felt more like an endurance test than a good time. I've found my happy medium.
  6. It was completely appropriate. Unfortunately the main character was offended so now we need to call the speech police.
  7. We'd have a considerably more educated society. Then the populace would see through some of the thinly veiled bullshit flying around today. So it'll never happen.
  8. Future logo is better than the past, but not as good as the present, IMO.
  9. I have to imagine his wife was not very happy about this. Usually a fan of Burr, but this was a bad move for him and very disappointing.

    They were ok. It was a big slick Vegas-style production put over a rock band context. I thought WR was kind of a fun nod, though as you state it was pretty basic. Would I have rather seen Doja Cat? No doubt.

  12. I had never heard that.
  13. Yeah it's exactly the shit I expect out of Chapelle. I was very disappointed Burr did it though.
  14. Someone was saying that in a Point Texas presentation prior to a match the speaker said the team is being told to block straight up more than aggressively leaning over every time. Rely on block touches and affecting the hitters' angles more than going for the roof and the point. With Sullivan gone different voices in the room affecting strategy, even if Elliott is the main stay. But 1.58 blocks per set in conference play is terrible. I'm just not used to seeing such low numbers for Texas. I remember in 2022 we spent half the season with abnormally low block numbers per set for us, but even then it was in the low 2's, and they really came on the latter half of the season and then turned it up a greater notch in tournament play. I don't see that happening with this team. They're just not a great blocking team. Nebraska made it to the championship game that year they beat us in Gregory without a good blocking team. It's not necessary if you have amazing backcourt play and are terminal, which this team does. I'm just not used to it, and find it a bit disconcerting, although I'll be fine with it. There's something so intimidating about a block score. I miss that. The biggest thing for me is I'd like to see serving improve some. Texas has always seemed to turn up the serving as the season progresses, so I'm hopeful that will be the case this year. When facing elite competition, the ability to get the opponent out of system with the serve becomes probably the most critical piece to winning.
  15. I didn’t watch last night but Sheppard’s box score was less than impressive. Someone tell me I’m wrong.
  16. I'd be very surprised (but happy) if we kept fewer than five on that list.
  17. its better than most, but it is definitely not perfect (especially for CFB). It is a solid data point, but not the end all be all.
  18. Cross-burning services. KKK outsources that now.
  19. Well if the ICE ad checks clear...
  20. White House Signals It May Try to Deny Back Pay to Furloughed Federal Workers Union leaders and Democratic lawmakers say the move would run afoul of a law adopted under President Trump’s first term. Hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal workers may not automatically receive back pay once the government reopens, the White House indicated in a draft memo, prompting broad fears that the Trump administration might try to circumvent federal law to maximize the pain of the shutdown. The memo, which was shared by a White House official, could presage a radical break from a policy adopted during President Trump’s first term. It appeared to contradict some of the administration’s own guidance, which by Tuesday still indicated that furloughed employees would receive retroactive pay shortly after Congress strikes a funding deal. Following the longest shutdown in history — a five-week closure that began under Mr. Trump at the end of 2018 — Congress adopted a law that guaranteed back pay for the millions of federal workers who often bear the financial brunt of funding lapses. That measure, known as the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act, applied not only to that closure but also future fiscal lapses, quelling a major source of uncertainty for federal workers caught in the political fray. Mr. Tump signed that measure into law in 2019. But his administration six years later now appears to have interpreted its guarantees much differently. In the draft memo, the White House budget office said that only the workers who are deemed as essential — military service members, air traffic controllers and others still working while the government is closed — are entitled to pay once the stalemate ends. For those who are furloughed, the White House memo lays out the case that Congress still must explicitly approve funding for the payments. Union officials and Democratic lawmakers quickly blasted Mr. Trump for what they described as only the latest attempt to use federal workers as bargaining chips during the shutdown. The president separately has threatened to fire government workers while federal offices remain closed, prompting labor groups to sue in a bid to block the mass layoffs. Everett Kelley, the national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said the White House had offered a “frivolous argument” about back pay and an “obvious misinterpretation of the law,” noting that the government itself appeared to take a much different position in public guidance. In a question-and-answer document posted online by the Office of Personnel Management, the agency specifically says that “employees who were furloughed as the result of the lapse will receive retroactive pay for those furlough periods.” Senator Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the chamber’s Appropriations Committee, said on social media that the White House memo marked only “another baseless attempt to try and scare” federal workers. “The letter of the law is as plain as can be — federal workers, including furloughed workers, are entitled to their back pay following a shutdown,” she said. Axios earlier reported on the memo.
  21. For the millionth time with these idiots, fuck all the getting into the weeds on healthcare tax credits (wtf does that even mean? I’m a politic nerd compared to gen pop and even I gloss the fuck over immediately)… “we will approve the budget when the Epstein docs are released in full with out redaction” simple and puts them on their heels from the top down on an overwhelmingly populist point
  22. Gawd. I bet it’s insane over there.
  23. Our parents call that “the news”.
  24. Happy opening day, to those who celebrate. hockey xmas comes a bit early this year with the kickoff game starting at 4p cst. Florida V Chicago. enjoy!
