  1. I only occasionally tune in from 10-1. Why does it seem like they are constantly talking about craft beers. Yawn.
  2. For Austin homeowners, pay close attention to your overall property value increase or decrease in 2023. I certainly haven’t run comps across the entire city, but most property values should have declined not appreciated in 2023, unless there were special circumstances. Austin/Travis County put in extra effort in 2022 to get property values around town much better aligned to true values. They were a bit all over the place in years past. If they did that with your property, then values in 2023 should have declined. Note that your taxable value could still be going up, but limited by the 10% cap. I’m talking about overall property value, not taxable value. I see a ton of posts with double digit increases in property value, and there really shouldn’t be all that many.
  3. I always want to see this site thriving. The content, the interaction among all ages, the rawness, the effort from so many posters, it’s truly a special place that hasn’t suffered from enshitification, like the rest of the internet. It actually bothers me when I see posters who’ve gone. As much as Derka sometimes drove me crazy, it would be better for the site if the folks in charge would reconsider. But then, I don’t know the whole story.
  4. When I see nonsense like what sheeeeit posted it just makes me wonder how people can be so gullible and dumb.
  5. Finally watched it. Went in with my cheese ball meter properly calibrated. It was exactly that. I therefore had to watch every minute of it so that I can complain about it later. Actually didn’t recognize McGregor at first because I’m not a mma/ufc fan. His acting was horrific. Dumb movie but watchable if you have the right mindset going in.
  6. Ya that’s the problem with even inflation bonds. If rates move up, they can lose a lot of money too, and the inflation premiums on the basis may not cover it.
  7. I want to welcome everyone to the island I’ve been inhabiting for awhile now. It’s strange to see almost everyone flip in unison to the realization he is not the future. I originally thought he would get next year to turn it around, but based on what I’m hearing, I’m not so sure. The depth of the drop off is too much. There are some proud folks that aren’t happy, and I sure hope they follow thru. It’s time.
  8. Terrific input by Rickylovesweed. It helps put these additions into context.
  9. What are these guys ranked in his rankings?
  10. It was clearly explained to you on a post just above and you apparently have the intelligence of a 12 year old and can’t understand the basic concept, so the response was aimed perfectly at your level of intellect.
  11. The Jack Nicklaus rule - “let’s see what happens once he has kids.” He called Tiger’s struggles right.
  12. Wrong take. See below. Exactly. No one should be badmouthing Rory. Besides the fact that the rumor is false, the PGA totally screwed him over by arranging a merger behind his back. He was charging on the front lines and the royalty in the back room was working on their own deals. I would not have blamed Rory, but the fact he’s still loyal is awesome. Love him
  13. SEC transfer rules are going to turn Houston, Baylor and TCU into powerhouses!
  14. Okay I better understand what you are saying now. So that means Terry brought in a bunch of role players who didn’t even deliver well as role players, like Horton, AND he misread the talent level of guys he already had on staff. I agree with others that late in the year Shedrick looked better than early. Either way, the roster didn’t look good overall. So, I’ll be interested to hear what you think of the final incoming group once all the dust settles. I’ve learned over the years in both sports and business that usually excuses end up being just that, excuses. Maybe this time will be different.
  15. Is there a chance the 9.95’rs are in some cases misreading recruit interest? Every recruit’s agent wants their recruit to visit Texas and show strong interest in order to drive up NIL money offers from other schools.
  16. Oh come on. You are starting to sound like an unnecessary sunshine pumper rather than an objective evaluator. Here were the incoming transfers: shedrick - underperformed; sure blame it on injuries but even when he was relatively healthy he didn’t meet expectations Horton - totally underperformed, no debate whatsoever Cheaver - good pick up, exceeded expectations Onyema- non factor Abmas - wasn’t bad, but most people would agree he didn’t have the impact expected. And the existing guys failed to improve, but it wasn’t just the existing guys.
  17. I have no idea whether these players are good or bad. But I do remember the same group here being excited about the acquisitions last year too, and none of those additions met or exceed expectations except Weaver. Abmas was a positive addition but did not meet expectations. So while 87’s argument doesn’t make sense, we should all be a bit skeptical until we see some success on the court.
  18. I’m shocked at all of the positive reviews here of the Curb finale. It was the same basic concept as the Seinfeld final. The writers showed zero creativity and the episode was a rehash of the same Seinfeld stuff. Terrible finale. Second worst in history behind Game of Thrones. The final season pretty much stunk too, with the same tired Leroy fuck jokes over and over.
  19. Baxter and Blue are two different types of runners. Between that and the fact that Baxter has been banged up, imo it’s too difficult right now to know if one is going to outperform the other. I would think the staff still believes Baxter will eventually get the nod.
