  1. Past hour
  2. Yeah, well, I tried a night game in 2013. It wasn't very fun.
  3. Reminds me of my short time at Samsung Austin Semiconductor when Fab 2 was getting up and running. Koreans companies definitely would rather have their own people working on site. At least in the supervisor role to oversee everything.
  4. Make up your mind, dude, is the SEC a gauntlet or do a select number of teams not measure up? I can't keep track of the permutations in Graham's mind. But, I suspect he can't either. Fuck aggy and/or the Surly troll who writes his column.
  5. I think Trump was looking for an Ivanka doppleganger. Would not surprise me if the russia videos included minors, either. The pee stuff could have been part of it too, but more likely a smoke screen.
  6. Killing off old, rural voters by way of lack of health care options is maybe the clearest sign yet that Trump/MAGA have no further use for elections.
  7. This deserves a new thread. Well beyond scumbag. Lady ended up being a blm sympathizer. Irony
  8. A little old lady friend & her husband from Ketucky (not big gamblers) still like to go out there 3-4 times a year. Hates the Strip but likes staying at Red Rock & Green Valley Ranch to play VP. She’s there right now and hit these the first two days at GVR….so she’s happy enough:
  9. Look, we can argue about the centrism. But until the party is willing to deal with a number of it's internal structural issues, I don't think the middle vs. left thing is all that important versus having a personality. DC is under occupation right now, and Eleanor Holmes Norton is going to run again despite not being mobile and clearly having mental decline and being 88. Jefferies should just refuse to seat her on a committee and tell the DC voters its time to inject new blood. The Democratic part is a deck with rotten supports. Until you rebuild the deck beams, it's closed until further notice. The type of party on that deck, whether its BBQ, Cookout, Carne Asada, Wine tasting, whatever, is totally irrelevant. It's in no position to host right now.
  10. LOL "hey uh, anyone know what was happening culturally, politically and societally in this country around 2014/15/16? Nobody? Hm.... can't put my finger on it"
  11. Well, that's pretty bad then, because no one has it harder than the Whites.
  12. Went to Crudo e Cotto on Friday (Mid Ln) after seeing it pop up on my IG feed. Authentic Italian sammiches, pizzas and pastas. got two pizzas for the kids (good), 2 pastas (vodka and carbonara) both good 7-8/10. The real stunner was the mortadella sandwich (I got it without zucchini because I hate that shit) but holy fuck was that amazing. Instantly a top 3 Houston sandwich for me (#1 being the French House ham & Swiss on French bread, and #2 being an OG Regular at the two Antone’s spin offs near the med center).
  13. RAYGUN with another great t-shirt.
  14. Was this generated by A&M? Looks like anyone could have AI-ed it. The get so fucking far ahead of themselves. Imagine their peers Michigan State or South Carolina or Virginia Tech publishing something like this. Maybe they mean the road to basking in ND's glory.
  15. In other words, full of shit. As all expected.
  16. I hope the era of the Dems running a bunch of "centrist" jagoffs who are bought and paid for by various lobbies is coming to an end. This country needs legislators who are passionate about issues that affect us all.
  17. the nips drew mexico 0-0 in oakland on saturday they started their 3 best prem players across the middle: kaoru mitoma (brighton), endō (pool) and daichi kamada (palace)
  18. This also portends a huge fucking problem for the GOP once he's gone. It's how this country could swing from Trump to a Mamdani in like 1 or 2 election cycles.
  19. I listened to the Pablo/Mark Cuban conversation, and I have to say I'm not really moved by Mark's assessment of the situation. He gives the example of how he has been scammed in the past in other business deals, how someone you trust may be working with someone else, and it lets your guard down on the due diligence, which may be the case with these Aspiration guys being so well connected. I don't really buy that argument, as Ballmer invested in this company several times, and made them the team's sponsor in a $300 million deal. They had to do some work investigating the people and the business before striking that deal. Mark also says Ballmer is like Warren Buffett in his being a smart finance and investor guy, and that being so obvious with the quid pro quo here would make no sense. It would be unbelievably stupid to do so in such a blatant and sloppy manner, that it couldn't possibly be him involved in it. Basically Ballmer is too smart to do something this dumb. I don't buy it, but whatever. Pablo brings up the Deandre Jordan episode from way back when he almost went to the Mavs, but backed out of the agreement and went to LA to sign with the Clippers at the last minute. Kind of a funny segment, since this was when someone famously claimed "Mark Cuban is driving around LA looking for Deandre Jordan!!!" Mark seems to think Ballmer learned his lesson with tampering with that one, and that he wouldn't do it again. I really don't buy that argument, rich people love to break the rules and use their wealth as a "get out of jail free" card. Mark says multiple times that if you can prove that Ballmer knew about this deal and funded it to any degree, that "He's Toast!" That the league would not allow that, and that the penalty would be severe. He doesn't believe there will be a smoking gun found between them, and I agree with that. I don't think Ballmer has a paper trail to him or the Clippers execs regarding this endorsement, it's just too poorly constructed to be done by anyone that knows what they are doing. It is much more likely to be an Uncle Dennis/Kawhi deal on the side that the team may or may not have known about. But that's the real issue here, linking the Clippers in any way to making this deal happen, or knowing that an absurd amount of money was going to their star player. Hard to think they wouldn't have found out at some point, and just left it alone, but it's possible. Anyways, I hope they all get the book thrown at them, and then Dolan and whoever owns the Nets next.
  20. You might need to watch the games more closely. Wingo was running open plenty of times last year and at times already in this young season because he is FAST, not because of busted coverage. There is never a time that he isn't one of the fastest players on the field. Route running might be a problem. Getting accurate, catchable passes his way has definitely been a problem. A lack of game speed is not.
  21. Holy shit, imagine being a Texas fan who hates the Big XII so much you'd stan for fucking ou, lol.
  22. saw the Hives last night, they still got that loud punk/rock energy after 25+ years..
  23. I read the first several posts. They are lock-step almost to a man to one side of the political spectrum. It seeps into everything they do. Just about no dissent. That's the Aggie thing about it. Around most places, many viewpoints are represented and voiced. There? Not so much.
  24. White peoples willingness to blow up every aspect of their lives due to hating black people, boggles my mind. I know that LBJ knew this: but it still just leaves me absolutely agog. I'm a Red Sox fan, and I can't even generate that level of hate for the god damn Yankees.
