  1. LED however is totally OK for his Tshirts, towels, sodas and anything else that isnt meat.... seems reasonable.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. well, that and the sea snek has venom... kinda tells you the snek won... even if it lost
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. because they are obviously run by former Greeks.
  10. that bunker cam is gonna end up sandblasted
  11. so is @Brisketexan definition: internet typer posting long superfluous stories
  12. 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.
  13. its really aggravating that every fucking time we lose to these assholes they and their fans become even more insufferable than they already were.
  14. I skipped going to the game today because I didnt feel great... now I feel worse.
  15. i watched this in Gatesville. we had a lot of clouds with some breaks allowing me to use the glasses to see the chunk being taken out. about 30 seconds before full totality we had very light clouds and then for the first 50 seconds or so of totality we had full view. heavier clouds came in for the last 3 mins or so, but seeing how dark it got was pretty cool didnt hear ANY of the animals doing anything special. maybe because the cloud cover was so strong. very cool and very cool seeing the corona with the naked eye 9/10... fucking clouds kept it from being an 11/10
  16. you say this like we somehow had a fucking advantage with Big 12 refs the last 10 years? i mean holy shit, esp these last 3 years we've been fucked without concent or lube more often than a female Baylor athlete we MIGHT have gotten slightly favorable reffing in our 2000s heyday, but that ship sailed LOOONNNG ago. and the last 3 years since the announcement have been a clinic in how to get fucked by the refs. Saban-less Bama aint getting the same calls they got with him, and considering we havent seen anything close to unbiased reffing in 15 years, even it its SLIGHLY in the other DEC teams favor, that still gives us a much better chance than we've had
  17. not sure if anyone actually looked, but that account the GRU looney was using today had been set up back in 2021. I was going to report the post because it sounded like him, but then saw that the account had been established back in 2021. and I thought, na, theres no way he kept that account quiet until now...... I mean holy fuck, that lunatic has clearly set up numerous login names and obviously has a list of them somewhere, and just brings them out after each new one is banned. Thats a level of crazy that is actually worrisome.
  18. this is the kind of shit that's going to drive security services- like the secret service, absolutely bonkers. I can easily envision someone doing this with an even lighter version, have it take off at one of the numerous municipal airports within 25 miles of DC, where they pre-scout a path they can program into the controls to allow the plane to not have to climb above 45/50 feet going around larger trees or buildings and then enter DC airspace proper going after .... one of the larger targets there. even with anti-air missiles, its gonna be tough as fuck for radar to see it, 911 is going to have a hard time giving the SecServ or Park Police any advance warning, and then the agents on the ground have to look at shooting down a large drone coming for them directly over highly traveled portions of the city. where even if the damn thing is blown up in the air, it would cause a large enough explosion to damage all kinds of stuff near it... and if they just succeed in taking it down, when it hits the ground 200Lbs of HE leaves a pretty big fucking crater. or it hits a big building with even more people in it and does its intended terror job.
  19. @Brisketexan warned us a while ago that the cops were being taught to consider anyone not in blue to always be an immediate threat to their lives. turns out a fucking group of FIRED/DISOWNED/DISGRACED ex-cops have been hosting paid training seminars for years where they were supposed to help train via seminars with hundreds, if not thousands of cops in attendance (each one being paid out of each departments taxpayer supplied yearly training funds).... where these cops were taught how to be a "street cop" and supposedly handle future altercations with the public. Now, what could possibly go wrong with a seminar led by roided-up, full-of-themselves, former fired cops with a chip on their shoulder teaching active cops how to handle surviving in the urban apocalypse of post-covid roving gangs looking to kill any cop at any time at any minute???.... gotta keep your head on a swivel if you want to survive COPPER!!!!!!!! so yeah, turns out other than paying $699 per cop per seminar, the cops were ACTIVELY taught how to just ignore probable cause pullovers, how to treat women "bitches and hoes" with complete distain, brag about their 3 inch penis' and basically brag about how they dont like when their orders are ignored and to just go ahead and start shooting.... these idiots filmed the seminars, and somehow the Comptroller of New Jersey recently got ahold of them and had to de-certify every NJ cop who had ever attended any of these seminars....
