  2. Let’s go ahead and post anything involving McCutchin in the Non-Texas recruiting thread from now on. No need to read his name in this thread again.

  3. No it doesn't, this is absurd selfishness on a grand scale. Nobody is getting punished. My wife and I paid off our student loans, and you know what I think about younger people or even those in our generation having theirs forgiven? I think that's absolutely fantastic (particularly the younger generation). My parents paid their own way through college working part-time as checkers at a Safeway. I was able to pay my student loans off pretty easily and quickly by getting a job out of college and paying a reasonable amount each month. Why is it harder for the current generation to do that? My parents were in college at the very beginning of that chart. I was in college in the late '90s. So how did we get here? I'm lazy so I'll paste what I wrote elsewhere:

  8. See—this right here is a major problem in America. The notion that people’s “beliefs” are equally valid is killing us. It’s not about what the guy believed. Scientific facts and math aren’t a matter of “belief.” He rejected them. And now he’s dead as a result. So, yeah—he was a dumb motherfucker. And his death is really quite funny.

  10. He was good at football his sophomore year of high school. When you take a year off to rehab, you have to prove it again and the Prince of Processing isn't going to wait around long. I imagine he'll end up decommitting halfway through his senior season and sign with rapelor on signing day. Either that, or he's still good at football and still goes to Bama. The one time transfer rule is implemented just in time for Saban's departure and a mass exodus occurs when Dabo and Kirby turn them down. Alabama rolls into Austin in 2022 and is forced to start rs-fr Latrell McCutchin due to the thinned out secondary. Quay Davis goes for 146 and 2 TDs, the last one coming as time expires and Latrell gets Moss'd in front of his family and friends. Or something else, idk.

  11. Pick up a copy of the Economist. Seriously. It's covered various episodes of islamist sectarian violence in both Bangladesh and Pakistan extensively. And of course, you're simply employing a "tu quoque" logical fallacy. When an islamist mob murders a christian, that's detrimental to a functioning civil society. When a hindu mob murders a muslim, that's detrimental to a functioning civil society. Oh, and I get to see separatism work right here at home, thanks very much. I get to hear Republican elected officials shout about how my kinfolks in Texas should speak only English (nevermind the fact that Spanish was the first European language spoken in the US, including in Texas), etc. And folks with messican last names get tossed in the can on ICE detainers even though they're citizens. And brown folks get subjected to immigration searches at checkpoints and such, etc. Come on, man. You're not even original. You're just spouting the same old garden variety nationalist bullshit we've heard a thousand times before, bolstered with the same lazy fallacies (attacking the messenger (like Time and the Economist are lying?), tu quoque cuz muslims do bad shit). You're not acquitting yourself particularly well here.

  12. In my Facebook memories today, a bit of interesting coincidence. Two years ago today, @Jive Turkey and I made the pilgrimage to Anfield to see LIverpool take on...West Ham. 4-1 that day. Hopefully 4-0 today. YNWA!

  21. What's eerie is how little attention it's getting. We are getting a little back from our taxes sometime this week, and we recently cleared out one of our kitchen cabinets (crock pot, some other stuff we weren't using). My wife: Should we just put it in our savings? Me: You know that kitchen cabinet we cleaned out? What if I drop $100 or $200 on canned foods, peanut butter, crackers, ramen, soup, rice, and just fill that cabinet up with long-lasting foodstuffs , just in case there's ever an emergency or we can't or won't go to the grocery store? Maybe get some masks as well? Wife: Is this about that coronavirus thing? Me:

  28. What's really frustrating is that, at least in a state like Texas, the "don't have kids you can't afford" attitude is usually coupled with a firm, anti-birth control, anti-abortion view.

  31. I direct urgent care clinics in my locale for a large healthcare system. We are putting contingencies in place for initial isolation and appropriate handling of potential Covid infected patients but we are not prepared for this to become endemic. Quite frankly, I bet no one is. We've had bed holds in the ED already this winter due to flu and hospital margins run relatively slim so efficiency is key and that means there are usually not scores of empty hospital beds and ICU rooms available. IF we went back to shared rooms then capacity could increase. I imagine we are going to have to tell people with mild Covid cases to stay put at home if they are young and healthy. The number of people (esp boomers) that run into the clinic for one day of cough or sinus pressure is mind boggling although good for business. We have even considered triaging possible Covid patients in their cars so they don't infect everyone in the waiting room. I have people now that come in for a broken finger and return 4 days later with the flu they likely picked up in the waiting room. Furthermore, we run clinic at capacity for our providers so if I have a couple of doctors or NP's go down, then our capacity to see patients timely greatly diminishes. Wait times will go up. It's a resource issue and I can't pull doctors out of thin air. Same thing will go with nurses and doctors in the hospital.

  34. The over-utilization of insurance is what increased the cost and complexity of care. Insurance was never meant to cover every PCP visit, pay for basic prescriptions, going to the emergency room when you have the flu, and what not. The system being bloated at the front end really destroyed the level of care ladder, and spiraled the costs of both care and insurance itself out of control.

  35. It had to happen... After dodging many bullets in 2020, one with my name on it finally hit home. Ex girlfriend and I went out for sushi & talked about our recent break up and what we're each going to do in life. At least it's amicable but it doesn't make it any less stressful. That's probably why I slammed ice cold Chang all through dinner or managed to eat 4 orders of mackerel sashimi without really noticing. I don't know why I do these things to myself. Not wanting to go back to the empty house we still share, I decided to walk down to the bar to meet up with some friends. Why I thought this was a good idea with a stomach full of beer and mercury I don't know but I did. Four houses down it hit me. I was absolutely, positively, certain it was just going to be a little fart. You. Mother. Fucker. It's all I could think. I just stood there, shoulders slumped, completely defeated. Nothing left to do but the bow legged shuffle back to the house for a full wipe and change of boxer shorts. I feel like I have failed y'all. I'm Marfa Low Crown and it has been 001 days since my last shart.

  36. Based on some figures from other HSR studies and the estimated full program cost of $1.5T for the F35, we could have approximately 21,750 miles of HSR installed and maintained for 50 years. (this is based on estimates of $62.5M per mile for installation and $125K per mile per year for maintenance). https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/Face-the-stats-Texas-high-speed-rail-destined-13611775.php https://www.sj-r.com/article/20110306/News/303069968 21,750 miles would allow the following connections if the federal government took over to spend money on infrastructure instead of a non-functional fighter jet: San Antonio-Houston-Dallas Triangle (710 miles) Los Angeles-San Diego-Phoenix-Las Vegas Quadrilateral (1047 miles) Los Angeles-San Jose-San Francisco-Sacramento Line (477 miles) Sacramento-Portland-Seattle line (758 miles) Miami-Orlando-Jacksonville-Atlanta line (722 miles) Atlanta-Charlotte-Richmond-Washington line (645 miles) Kansas City-St. Louis-Chicago-Milwaukee-Minneapolis Squareish shape thing (1411 miles) As you can see on the last one I'm getting desperate for routes. And I'm still only up to 5,000 miles. So let's stop there and say that estimated costs are way low and these things actually cost 4 times as much as even the opponents are estimating. We could still have all of the above for the cost of the F35.

  37. If you make it welfare only, then you get class segregated child care facilities which exacerbates the poverty cycle. If you make it "free" for all, you get class mixed facilities that nearly every kid goes to. You also get rid of the stigma associated with welfare. NYC already does this with pre-K and school lunches, and is rolling out after school day care. It has worked very well. Wealthy parents "pay" via their taxes.

  40. These guys are the perfect expression of hard core Aggies' unjustified confidence that they're the normal ones. That those overall-wearing yokels actually think that they are in a position to parody anyone is astonishing. I assume that they presume to illuminate the absurdity of traditional cheerleaders versus their very manly, manful YELL leaders.
