    I mean- nobody heard from him so nobody knows his rationale.  He sure as shit kept the money.  Did he justify that by saying it was payback for all he did?  I'm sure on some level he did- but it was basically straight up fraud/theft.  I think there might have been a couple people at some point in time talk about getting the law involved, but as nobody was out a large amount of money or anything they couldn't afford, and they were all on some level friendly with him or they wouldn't have signed up for the whole deal I don't think anything like that ever happened.


    My guess is that he was just jammed up, needed the money, and took it. Which if that's true its a shame- b/c if he really was in need I feel like he could have put out the word and got what he needed ala "It's a wonderful life".  He had that whole splinter website from Honfans (longhornfanzone) pretty much on his side and that site wasn't insignificant. 

    Matt who writes The week that will be and drew were in that group and a bunch of others that people who have been around for a long time would know.  I don't know who all has what handle anymore and this was all a really long time ago. 

    Yes- he did get into it with Cleve one day I dimly remember. I think it had something to do with practice and camera's or notes or something like that.  This was all a lot of years and a lot of beers ago, so I'm pretty much at my limit of what I remember. 


    The interesting thing about all of this is that Wheeler and Agnor's falling out started the splintering of Texas Longhorn internetdom that we still have today.  Texags consolidated and never lost their grip on the market and now they are the biggest and baddest college athletic site on the internet.  But once upon a time- horn fans was easily that big a deal before the split (which happed right after the bottom fell out of the ad rates for banner ads seemingly ovenight) happened- and could have gone the same way as Texags. Instead we splintered into a bunch of different boards all over the place while they remain a monolith.  It's not exactly news though that aggies shut up and get in line while we have a lot more individualism and schisms.  

    I was a regular on longhornfanzone. I actually miss that site

    It’s an entertaining show if you want to give it a go. Bob also talks about how he was told of another scientist dying when they tried to open the power core with a plasma torch which he deduced was who he had been hire to replace. 

    Good yarn at the least. 
     

     

    hooooleeeey fuck. 

    i want to call bullshit but this guy talks like he completely believes what he is saying isnt bullshit, for over 2 hours and throughout 30 years.

    amazing. i think he was some sort of technician that was either fed shit for disinformation or stumbled upon some real shit and tries to connect it all together.

    what is the maximum jail sentence a 3rd degree murder charge can carry in Minnesota?  

    • Third-Degree Murder. Third-degree murder is an unintentional killing that occurs as a result of a "depraved mind." This archaic language has led to some confusing legal analyses, but it is generally thought of as acting recklessly, with a total indifference to human life. An example would be speeding at 100 miles per hour through a school zone and unintentionally killing a student crossing at an intersection. Third-degree murder can carry a maximum sentence of 25 years.

    If you have pretty good job security with that extra 4k coming in, you have a lot of room to be riskier, but everyone's risk tolerance varies. I despise the idea of getting 1-2%, which is essentially losing money because of average inflation. So if I'm you and don't want to spend more time on individual stocks, I'd put the 20k in an S&P or NASDAQ index, or a small business index if I'm feeling riskier. If you're wanting to diversify your risk, you could put it in something like gold or bitcoin, or maybe even a down payment on a rental property that you expect will increase in value and whose rent will more than cover the mortgage. Just some brainstorming.

    That's what i am talking about . Good advice man

     

    So I own property but I am no slum lord and hate dealing wth it 

    I have gold , but not Texas University vault full. 

    I like S&P or NASDAQ index. Sounds like I will drop shit in there after the 6 to 9 months security savings

    Are you asking about retirement account (IRA or 401k funds) or regular investments?

    I’m 54, in a profession (law) where we work until we die, and have a brokerage retirement account through our firm. Balls to the wall aggressive. But it being in a 401k, I can sell high and buy dips without any short term tax consequences. So that’s a big factor in answering your questions

    401k and old man catch up will be yearly maxed and moderately aggressive. IRA is not maxed but will be soon and is moderately aggressive.  

    Currently have 1.2 m and expect it to double every 5 years . Expect minimum 2.5m at 60 and then checking the fuck out. yes yes I am not the Surly kajillionaires 

    I was talking about regular investments. Should a dip my low hanging large shriveled balls into the stock market again after gettign out with a nice gain or say fuck it and chill. 

     

    Yes I have been drinking...hmmmm yes, I am almost drunk

    You’re asking the wrong guy. I don’t think I’ll ever be very conservative, but if you’re not relying on the money, why be conservative?

    Man you make sense. I only got in this situation from luck and being fortunate at the right time. Didnt plan on any of it. 

    I think I will still put the 20k in the savings account with the other money and keep the 6-9 months salary rule going. Be a little more aggressive with the 4k a month savings and see what road that brings me 

     

    Thanks for the info and insight
