Background: Installed an smart lock on our front door. It opens automatically when you get home if it makes a Bluetooth connection with your phone. If that fails, you can open the app and unlock it. You can also still use your key like a poor person. Wife comes home the other day, and it doesn’t unlock. She calls me, but I miss the call. I eventually call her back and she’s pissed that she’s locked out and stuck on the porch. Her: I guess my phone isn’t working because the door won’t unlock. Me: I think your phone IS working since you called me. Did you try the app? Her: No. That won’t work because my phone isn’t working. Me: Again. Your phone is working. But why not use your key? Her: Shit. *Click17 points

Given the frequency of the derails in threads associated with Oscar Giles taking hogger dumps on a repeated basis in various recruitments, I figured why not plunge in with a thread for our very own OG? Giles is entrenched again at Texas because he's boys with Herman, after spending formative coaching years with Herman as a GA and then with him during his first HC tenure at UH. It's a blind spot for Herman, even though he's had to work to bail out Giles in a multitude of recruitments, or put Carrington on targets in order to sway them. "But closetojumping, what about recruits A, B, and C that 247/Rivals said he was the lead recruiter for!!!" 247/Rivals, if they're stating shit like this, are wrong. Carrington, Herman, and Meekins are directly responsible for virtually every DL that Texas has signed since 2017. Meekins landed Oliver for UH. Muschamp, Brown, Wyatt, and Applewhite played fundamental roles in landing Jeffcoat and others during the MB/OG era. Giles was the lead recruiter on K'Lavon Chaisson and misinformed Herman on status right up to the bitter end. OG also did the same with regard to Vernon Jackson in the 2018 cycle. The staff had to scramble on signing day in an attempt to convince Jackson that he could play running back at Texas. Giles was likely napping during the conversations in which Jackson stated this importance in his recruitment. "But closetojumping, Oscar Giles is an amaze-balls developer of talent!?!?" When this argument is made, it usually comes with references to Big 12 DLPOYs in Big Poon and Omenihu. Omenihu, meanwhile, gives a ton of credit to his trainer in Houston, Nathan O'Neal, for his "development". O'Neal works specifically with DLs, and not so coincidentally, Omenihu started working with him last spring. Omenihu had a good season this year, but he wasn't some force to be reckoned with throughout the year. He played well and put up solid stats in a league that doesn't play defense outside of Texas and occasionally TCU and KSU. Any single person taking, or being given, credit for the remarkable journey of Poona Ford is full of shit. But, hey, Giles was around for a season of Ford at Texas. In short, Oscar Giles is a mediocrity on the Texas staff. They could do better with an additional coach on the DL that actually does work in recruiting, or they could simply do better with someone else that contributes in recruiting and is comparable or better with developing talent. The notion that Texas couldn't is handwringing saarvanashery.12 points

Another sober trip around the sun for this drunk. So grateful for the steps, sponsorship, and the fellowship. I'm a grateful alcoholic and have come to be grateful FOR my alcoholism....were it not for that, I would never have found this way of life. I desperately needed this design for my life even if man had never crushed the first grape.9 points

I'm finally ready to join the club. I'm currently on day 11. I've reset the clock several times over the past year and have definitely reset that line in the sand several times. I've seemed to have no problem stopping, but when I do take that first drink, it's "balls to the wall" until I pass out or someone forces me to stop. My friends have told me once I cross that line into blackout territory, that I show multiple personalities and become delusional. Over the past 3 years, I've drained myself financially to chase the drink (and women), came close to losing my kids, broken several personal relationships, and had my first arrest about 3 weeks ago (PI). I've finally hit my breaking point and ready to make myself whole again. I'm very grateful for where I am at now and am the most clear headed that I have been in at least 3 years.8 points

"Infect the process?" Yeah, it's called people exercising their first amendment right to pressure their political leaders. It's quite amazing to me how an investigation that was started by Republicans and run by Republicans and looking into crimes committed by Republicans that resulted in a report written by Republicans and (now) attempted to be covered up by Republicans has become, in the eyes of some, a "thanks for wasting everybody's time, Democrats."8 points

Here is the secret: what actually happens matters not at all. A&M fans are never discouraged by bad results, beating them never shuts them up. So if you are waiting around for them to be put in their place you will be waiting so long as people still play the game of football. The best you will ever get is their misery during the actual game or the short period of time the national media notices they failed again. But this will be very short and they will be back to strutting and bragging and proclaiming the eternal future glory of A&M very quickly.5 points

Lulz at “making progress”. We replaced one first rounder with another, returned everyone else, and missed the tournament. That is the opposite of progress.4 points

You need reminders not to drink from the toilet? Wash hands? When you fly do you just walk to the nearest gate/plane regardless of company, destination, or departure? Are you aware you come across as a bit touched? You seem to be spend a bit of time tilting at windmills.3 points

I'm gonna be at the bar at the Round Rock Olive Garden all night celebrating this championship season. How many scotches will it take for this championship buzz to come down? I don't know. You do the math, I'm doing the alfredo, and the hostess, in that order. Maybe both at the same time. Who knows. Anything goes when the Horns win a title.3 points

Yep. 69 jokes aside, if you were to eliminate auto-bids and seed teams purely based on resume, Texas would have been around #45 in the NCAA tourney. That's... still not good enough. Metrics say this was around a top-30 team, and the win-loss record did not reflect that. That said, they finished the season out the right way. Losing because "you didn't care" is for shitty SEC fans.3 points

Appreciate your input and explaining this to non-lawyers like myself. I am sure you are correct legally. As a layman it seems incredibly contradictory for the Justice Department to argue on one hand that a sitting president can not be formally charged with a crime and the only recourse available is impeachment via the Congress, and on the other hand state that Congress is not entitled to review all evidence with respect to the president in an official government investigation. Basically that means the president is above the law and not truely subject to congressional review. If that is the case we need the SC to explicitly state that so we can all rest comfortably knowing America is officially a banana republic.3 points

got into the parking garage at work, looked down at the odometer, 150,002. completely fucking missed it. i'd been looking forward all yesterday, even thought about driving the extra couple miles yesterday so that i'd be parked at home with 150,000. i was already in a sour mood due to lack of caffeine and sleep (really seems like we've had more 2 am thunderstorms lately than usual). now i'm just completely pissed the fuck off.3 points
