  1. Past hour
  2. And Helman & Winn. Martin dead, Foscue & Osuna down.
  3. Also read the judge in question is gay -- that'll drive the MAGAts extra special crazy.
  4. for posterity schumacher crossing north bank before 250704:
  5. Agree with all this, but I'd go a step further and say he might not be playing with better talent on offense. WSU had a really nice receiving corp last year, easily better than what OU is rolling out in 25. I have no recollection of their TEs, but I genuinely can't imagine a TE room that's worse than OU's. I do think Mateer is a good quarterback, but also think it's substantially more likely that he has a rough year than an all-conference year.
  6. A couple I picked up from H.E.B. and enjoyed.
  7. so this is the location of the previously discussed flood gauge panning 90 left from sw to se
  8. the crowd will be 90% virgins
  9. 50 days? Only 39 days until Big Noon Kickoff.
  10. Fun new show on Hulu called ‘Rivals,’ starring David Tennant, Aidan Turner (Poldark), and Alex Hassell (minor role in The Boys). It’s set in the mid- to late-1980s (lots of music from that era for those who enjoy the nostalgia) with the main plot surrounding the efforts of a regional independent television studio in the "Central Southwest" region trying to renew its franchise agreement with the government. As the title suggests, it involves lots of intrigues between a bunch of posh British twats living in the Cotswolds behaving like scoundrels and screwing each other over, both literally and figuratively (TITS!), in their personal / business affairs. The first season is 10 easily binged episodes. Not perfect, but pretty entertaining. Wives and girlfriends will also enjoy. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/rivals_2024
  11. thanks for your help west kerr https://www.co.kerr.tx.us/historical/pdf/Schumacher Crossing - marker fact sheet.pdf 0°04.162N / 99°19.292W your city & county need some gis training
  12. Not to mention saving $17 million in cap space at the same time.
  13. I'm still waiting on this fing thing to come out on CD.
  14. Steelers continue their tradition of rolling out shit-awful throwbacks.
  15. Do you have a connect with the lifetime passes or do you just buy them?
  16. probably worked out some sort of licensing agreement that involves glass beads and firewater.
  17. Many in the native community are accepting "Indian" these days despite the stupidity of its origin so it might have been close enough to get by but they could never fully disassociate the name with the long time use of Chief Wahoo. Even though they stopped using him a few years before the name change it wasn't going to fly long term without a complete change in identity. The Chiefs are skating by because they haven't used an actual Indian mascot for a long time but I attended a game at Arrowhead about 10 years ago and it was still full of fake Indian tom tom beating and tomahawk chop stereotypical bullshit ceremonies and chants. As far as dotards "they all want it back" i'm sure dipshit troll will find the interviews and articles of Indian people being "not offended" or loving it but the vast majority of them are "my great grandma was a Cherokee princess" type of Indian. There are some legit Natives who liked it for some reason but dotard doesn't speak for the Native community. Here's all you need, a position by an organization of Native leaders. This is the official position upon which the decision should be made. Unless they change their position, it should be respected. https://www.ncai.org/initiatives/proud-to-be
  18. That's like a 28% chance of happening anytime he gets on base...
  19. Relax, don’t force it. You’re gonna blow out your o-ring, drop a lung!
  20. I wasn't clear - I'd assume 100 out of 100 times the item MUST be ruled inert before doing anything with it. Grenades? Why cut into it? That's a hold my beer moment out on the range. And if no go boom, wrap it in det cord, make it go boom
  21. Repped not necessarily because I agree with everything you said but because it's an insightful post and it captures a broader strategic misstep that Democrats continue to make. I can't quite give a name to this broader strategic misstep, but the gist of it is treating the electorate like better people than they truly are, accepting certain premises at their face value and placing a strong emphasis on appealing to those premises. A naïve belief that voters have some kind of deeper convictions that will get them to switch parties. In the W era, the Dems accepted the premise that the electorate just LOVES the troops, so we're gonna TOTALLY WIN OVER those troop-lovers by running a candidate WHO SERVED AND WAS WOUNDED IN VIETNAM instead of that effete Texas national guard and didn't see any action! How many Republicans switched party lines due to their affinity for "real" veterans? In 2024, Joe Biden's campaign accepted the premise that the electorate just LOVES tough border policies, so we're gonna TOTALLY WIN OVER those border-hawks by trying to pass a "tough" border bill and forcing Trump to accept political responsibility when republicans refuse to vote for it! Then Kamala Harris took over, and her team (which was just Biden's team) accepted the premise that the electorate just LOVES Liz Cheney, so we're gonna TOTALLY WIN OVER those "classic" conservatives who miss Dick Cheney. How did that work out for them? We've seen this tried here in Texas at the state level, too, with MJ Hegar (the "real deal" servicemember) and Colin Allred (the "real deal" Texas football player). How many "real deal" farmers and "real deal" cops do we need to churn through before party leadership finally gives up on this idiotic way of thinking? And that brings me to Talarico. I don't dispute his religious bona fides. He is a "real deal" pastor. And if that's gonna be the campaign strategy, then his donors might as well light their money on fire for all the good it'll do.
  22. Yup. I've mentioned it before, but our youngest has no business being at UT. None. I mean, top 40% at his HS kind of guy. Super immature (at the time). The thing was, he played club soccer at a very high level and wrote his essay about how he had to learn to interact with kids on his team who only spoke Spanish, and how it helped his leadership skills. It was a pretty poorly written essay but it was definitely from the heart. I corrected a few grammar mistakes the night before it was due but I thought "no way". And then he was CAPed. And he kicked ass at UT-Tyler. And here we are. There are many paths. If one avails itself to your kid, they might be advised to take it.
  23. An Altuve TOOTBLAN automatically results in a loss.
  24. I don't need to make a religious argument or appeal to Jesus' teachings or the Ten Commandments to make a case for why theft and murder are detrimental to a society. That's my point. My personal beliefs about murder are formed by both my Christian faith and my secular understanding of the political tension between freedom and order. But I don't need to appeal to "Jesus said so" when I can also articulate that in our society, political/legal tradition, and under our Constitution, the freedom to murder citizens at will is both detrimental to order and a violation of an individual's right to life. In the same way, I don't need to make a religious argument or appeal to Jesus' teaching to make a case for feeding, housing, educating, and providing health care for those who are in need. A healthy society provides services for those in need because that is conducive to maintaining good order and promoting the general welfare. A lack of order is not conducive to the exercise and protection of anyone's rights and freedoms.
