  1. It was a SxSW event for Delta Medallion members. 

    Aaron was great but Andres was inspiring. I shook his hand and said "thank you, just thank you for all you have done."

    What if this is what Texas has always been?

    Nah, this is a different kind of stupid. We used to be common sense based, hold people accountable, and do what's right kind of people.

    It’s actually not that hard to understand-there are tons of folks with money besides a couple of oil billionaires and that live in Texas.  Unfortunately, they don’t appear to be invested in running the state with the exception of Charles Butt. 

    But that's what I don't understand. The more money you have, the more you should be interested in running the state the correct way. So you know, you keep making money. But these fuckers are hellbent on destroying everything...

  4. I don't understand. I'm a 6th generation Texan. How did we get here? Why are we so stupid that we vote against our own interests? I don't get it at all.

    Let them destroy the state. Maybe then they will learn. 

    Republicans don't stand for anything other than supporting their team. They aren't a serious party. They don't know how nor do they have any interest in governing. When we don't hold people accountable, you wind up with a shitty state run by idiots.

  5. if they say yes, he has complete immunity as all presidents do. then i suggest big joe biden flexes and just cancels the election, imprisons trump for whatever he wants, dismisses the court, and generally goes on a rampage as a newly crowned king of america. this shit is just stupid.

  6. i also doubt Trump has properly followed the laws keeping his business and personal assets separate. any decent collections attorney could most likely pierce the corporate veil and collect his assets.

    Name a big body from Lake Travis that was a net positive contributor at Texas. Or, hell, anywhere. 

    Brendan Jaimes started at LT for Nebraska for several years and is a member of the LA Chargers now.

    To be fair, we have been better at QB, WR, and RB than on the line. But this kid is different and there are several 6'5+ edge and DT prospects coming up including Bobby Duncum's kid. 

     

  8. The mom is a little crazy and her son is not happy about her antics.

    Good for that player. As always, I hope Texas never recruits another Lake Travis player ever into the eternity of the future. Hopefully the trend sticks here and he can allegedly go get involved with doing shitty things to teammates at OU or Baylor or something. Meanwhile, his mom can sit comfortably above it all in her helicopter, making sure no one is a meanie to her son.

    Well that's just a stupid take.

    I feel like I am taking crazy pills myself. What in the fuck is being discussed here? Did a target at Lake Travis (who would that even be?) instigate trying to kill a teammate with peanuts? This is a thing?

    Peanuts are the weapon of choice for kids these days.

    There is a good DT at LT that is Texas worthy. Big kid, very aggressive, strong, athletic, good work ethic, non-stop motor.

    I know all the kids involved and know exactly what happened. It was a really stupid prank amongst friends. The offenders apologized, the victim accepted the apology, and he is still on the team and hangs out with the offenders daily.

    It could have gone wrong really really quickly but thank God it didn't. 

    Everyone on the team has moved on.

  11. of my 7 member family - me, and two of my sons still have not caught the covids. the wife, daughter, and two other sons have had it. all are up to date on boosters and most recent vax. the ones who got it were in NYC or coming from a conference. all had very mild flu / cold like symptoms that resolved within a few days.

     

    is it too bold to think i might just make it without ever catching the vid?

    How's the espresso grind and noise levrl? I've got an old delonghi grinder where it's finest setting takes a couple of minutes to grind 17g of beans and it's LOUD! My hand grinder gets a good consistent grind size and is quiet, but I wouldn't mind automating it again

    It's the best grinder out there so the espresso grind is great. It is loud but that's the fun part! Lol

    My rising 9th graders counselors keep telling everyone (kids and parents) not to take "advanced" (pre-AP basically) everything. Take one or two classes with the norms, is how I interpret that. Does anyone listen? Like, she has expressed no real interest in engineering or sciences, but then again she is 14. Maybe she'll suddenly want to go med school and want lots of rigorous high school science. 

    So: did yall's UT bound kids take pretty much AP/IB everything?

    Yes

  14. And our 5th and youngest kiddo was accepted to UT yesterday. We are beyond proud and excited.

    We currently have 1 at UT Law, 1 getting her PhD at UVA, 1 studying abroad at Central supelac in Paris, and our youngest will be in McCombs in the fall.

    our oldest graduated CS and is a SW engineer at Meta.

    We both went to UT and now we will be 5 for 5 on the kiddos.

    I’m not familiar with NY law but most states do not require a bond or deposit  to appeal. That just prevents post judgment collection efforts on appeal. 

    If you think Trump has respected his corporate structures and government and not co-mingled funds I don't know what to tell you. I would bet good money piercing the corporate veil would be about as easy as trump eating a big Mac.

    Odds of her actually collecting any of that $83m are about zero though, right?

    What about NYS running his businesses once his licenses are forfeited. I would imagine the monitor / trustee would have an obligation to pay the judgment.
