    @Pato del Muerto when I first heard that song in the late 70s or early 80s on oldies radio, it was less than 25 years old.

    For reference, that would be like my kid hearing Baby One More Time by Britney Spears or Livin La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin.

    During high school in the mid 90s I worked at a retail place that played the oldies station (KLUV in Dallas) and that was one of about 100 songs in the rotation that I heard 2-3 times a shift for a couple years. 
     

    plus I’ve also heard the statler brothers cover quite a bit.

    Nope there are states that allow recruits who are committed to start receiving compensation without the loss of eligibility 

    But for ncaa nil, it’s not pay for play or in that case pay for commitment.  You still can’t pay them to play for your team, without being in violation.

    How can that be a thing?  Countries can tariff whatever they want. And they will suffer the consequences.

    They’ll never be the same!

     

    also, it’s the federal court of international trade, not an international court of trade.

    Feels like it's about time to order some Torchy's tonight.

     

    Feels like it’s time for torchys to have a trump named taco of the month. Chicken, of course.  Maybe an Asian inspired orange chicken taco.

  5. I just got a text from someone who said they were from Indeed and had a job offer where I could work a couple hours a day and make 900 a week.
     

    Some might find it odd that they texted instead of messaging me inside of their own app, that they didn’t address me by name, or that they didn’t identify themselves by name. Or that I had to call a number instead of go to a link, again to their own job app.  
     

    what do you guys think?

    It's honestly kind of confusing to me because what they've done with the first stage is actually astounding from an engineering standpoint. They're having fatal failures during the second stage before re-entry on things which should be comparatively very easy problems to solve and it keeps blowing up.

    e: Today's failure was literally just attitude control. A relatively minor problem compared to the ones they've already solved. So weird.

    When your model is fail and then fix, where is the incentive to attempt to fix things before they fail?  Or the corporate allowance to spend money polishing something before it’s the fail point?

  7. Yellowstone regional airport in Cody utilizes the essential air thing to have a carrier operate during the winter.  I’d wager there’s quite a few small regional airports that can handle a bonbardier or embraer that only have service at least part of the year because of the federal stipend. 
     

    iirc, United and delta bid on the route to Cody, so they probably like the guaranteed money. I was upset when it changed to delta because the flight changed from Denver to slc and most of my flights were to and from Texas.

    Tim and the Gators WON a regional tournament in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2023, and 2024.

    This is our 17th straight tournament bid. 17th. 

    We made the championship finals in 2011, 2017, and 2023.

    If it’s not coaching, then we are truly lucky as hell.

    But better coaching than white, who has made at least the Supers every year he’s been a head coach, as a reason to win?
