  1. cashier makes just $20/hr and cant afford to lose their job. so they put up with the bullshit.
  2. LED however is totally OK for his Tshirts, towels, sodas and anything else that isnt meat.... seems reasonable.
  3. Jesus man, you have to be out of your mind to advocate that. Every fucking review at a bare minimum takes 2 mins away from gametime- starting from the moment the umps decide to call time, huddle, confirm their call on the field, then ask if a coach wants to review, then run to the review booth, and then review, come back with a decision and then all the umps are back in position before its back to play ball. And thats for the hyper obvious ones, like ball clearly hits either fair or foul, or runner safe at first while ball is still clearly in the air, etc. you do the first base safe/not safe back and forth review like we had to do today and thats taking some serious time to get completed. all 3 major review this week took at least 4 mins. if we are reviewing everything, even if its just 10 total calls a game, we are adding ~+30 mins to every game.
  4. this makes me feel very, very old. I know it makes you feel older, but damn. I still remember you asking to photoshop the trash bin out of their pic and pure hilarious insanity that thread devolved in and you are saying the baby is now about to graduate HS.... FUCK we are old
  5. P needs to fire himself as the pitching coach, hes not helping himself or them. But I dont see how the fuck we can fire a coach who in 7 full seasons (counting this one and not 2020), has made it to Omaha 3 fucking times. Like it or not, thats something only a few other coaches can say over the last 8 years, and who knows, this teams offense is sometimes just good enough to outlast our abysmal relief pitching. we have gone on stupider runs before, 2018 springs to mind. see my first line about getting a new pitch coach that might actually be able to teach the relief pitchers that the 5 sided looking white thing in front of the catcher is the target box to throw for. we cant seem to find a middle reliever who can come out of the bullpen and throw strikes on their first 8 pitches.
  6. I know they are trying to not have the game interfere with the Spring game, but the weather apps are saying that at 7pm tomorrow, there is a 90% chance of thunderstorms. (and like 50% chance of rain and thunderstorms from 1pm onward)..... so why the hell arent we doing a DH today starting at 330 or just suck it up and start the game around 11a tomorrow to give some overlap to the spring game (if they even have the game). this seems like a case of the athletics dept just praying the rain isnt that bad or that lightning-y
  7. well, that and the sea snek has venom... kinda tells you the snek won... even if it lost
  8. no asshole I dont have a pool here in Austin. I give a fuck because ive now heard about the issue 3 times in less than 5 weeks, and maybe because this is a Longhorn site based out of Austin with a fuckload of Austin residents who live here. Aand its a problem that is being described as possibly "thousands" of central Texas pools that might be impacted Its fucking relevenant to folks who might be looking at buying a home with a pool, especially since the house buying season started about 6 weeks ago.
  9. This was the first story that I heard of the problem its a courtroom recording from a WilCo lawsuit. I cant tell you when or where, but I am almost positive the phrase "gunite" being used multiple times as the two defendants tried to claim they didnt need to fix the issue
  10. because they are obviously run by former Greeks.
  11. that bunker cam is gonna end up sandblasted
  12. so is @Brisketexan definition: internet typer posting long superfluous stories
  13. Obviously most of the folks impacted by this have already recognized the problem, and maybe a few surlyites are suing everyone. But consider this a FYI for the rest of us who might want to keep this in mind if you are buying a home over the next 5 years or so that comes with a pool This KVUE article today is the 3rd story I have read in the last 5 weeks about this issue that basically popped up all around the Austin area but seems to so far only be limited to newer pool builds. going as far back as 2017, but really becoming prominent since 2019 The super short version of the problem is it looks like many of the custom pool builders (including a lot of the previously higher-reviewed and longer in business companies) were somehow using concrete missing a key ingredient needed if concrete is going to be in contact with water. to me the internet layman, it sounds like the concrete providers either skipped adding the key ingredient to save money, or some idiot manager got lazy and used a generic concrete mixture on most pool concrete orders.
