  2. @Ag with kids thinks this is fine because Texas votes 56% R in presidential elections
  3. Did you not become a more serious person in your mid-late twenties and after you got married and had a kid than you were in your early twenties without a kid? We’ve seen some version of this 1000 times. The difference is that none of those guys were great *before* they got serious.
  4. I wouldn’t be confident about Greg beating Doggett in a May primary with that map. That seems like a coin flip. That said, a primary would surprise me. the was I heard it was that Doggett was hanging it up in 2028 anyway, so maybe he retires sooner. Less likely but still possible is that one of those guys moves and attempts to break the gerrymander.
  5. We’re just not going to talk about redistricting? The map is out. It’s shitty
  6. In my experience, people who don’t take care of their cars also don’t take them in to get inspected. Especially now that the sticker is gone.

  8. Disagree! I was an inspector for years. It’s a pretty pointless exercise with very little connection to safety.
  9. “The lions and hyenas are terrible, but Democrats are losing me with this hard left stuff.” @Goredho, armed with a net and a trident
  10. And everybody missed the good old days then, too.
  11. Perhaps not coincidentally, 320’s are a “hot deal” at Academy right now.
  12. As in, not partially or completely missing the ball with the club or hitting the turf 3 inches behind the ball. Literally just putting the club head on the ball.
  13. Thank you. any thoughts on the DTC brands here? Takomo, Stix, Sub70, etc.
  14. I’m about to be 52, I work in finance, and I live practically next door to Mo Willie, so I’ve decided I’m finally old and boring enough to play golf. Here’s where I’m at: I can’t hit a ball off the tee. I’ve played maybe 45 holes in my life, including a couple times around the Butler Pitch and putt. I have never played an 18 hole round. I’ve spent some time at the driving range in fits and starts, with no plan, getting worse with every ball. My goal is to break 100 by the end of the year. I took a lesson at Golf Galaxy last week to get feedback. Based on her assessment my balance, mobility, and strength are all far above average. My swing mechanics aren’t terrible, but my swing is super inconsistent and striking is a mess. Not great, but she gave me some clear things to work on and it helped. I also watched some Danny Maude videos that were incredibly helpful. As of now, 9 days later, I’m striking irons cleanly and straight around 60% of the time, but loft and distance are inconsistent. Here’s my plan from here, looking for feedback. 1) Swing mechanics - Daily practice for 5-10 mins with no ball, paying special attention to rhythm, feeling the weight of the club head, and approach angle. 2) driving range 3-4X per week. 20 balls each PW, 9, 7i. 3) When I’m hitting the ball well 80% of the time, add 5 iron on the range and play the 9 hole par 3 course at Penick campus when time allows. 4) practice putts 20mins, 1-2X/week. Hit out of bunkers 1X/week. 5) When I’m no longer confusing myself with the above, take a lesson focused on hitting from a tee, and work on tee shots with driver and 5 wood at range after warming up with irons. 6) once tee shots are straight 80% of the time, Play 18 Feedback on all of the above is welcome, here are some specific questions for the golfers: 1) does this plan seem sound? 2) should I buy a rangefinder? 3) my clubs are possibly shit. I bought them from a guy who made them in his garage in Cedar Park during the Covid era, because I couldn’t find any left handed clubs and wanted to buy clubs for some reason. Should I try to improve with these or start fresh new ones? 4) How irritating is it to play with a beginner on a public course? I’m very open to advice but I know people like to be helpful. My concern is that somebody I’m playing with might feel obligated to coach me up on their afternoon off, and that’s not fair for them.
  15. “Gahenna” is a pretty brilliant choice here.

  17. Why are you running from trans rights?
  18. Btw, @wildcat09 you’ve bought a new car before, right? Does it have features you either didn’t care about much or even thought you disliked but could live with? Did the marketing you saw and the salesperson you spoke with focus your attention on what you cared about, or did chant a litany of every feature and then demand that you actively embrace the auto-off switch and the heated seats? If they didn’t, were they running from those features?
  19. Wendy Davis literally ran a campaign for governor that mostly ignored daily life problems and almost exclusively focused on an abortion bill filibuster that ultimately failed. It wound up like the extension ND gave Charlie Weiss after his “signature loss” to USC. And that’s the Dems *best* social issue. Tell you what. Let’s you and me walk a block for 3 hours, anywhere in Texas with a Democrat% lower than 60%. We have a maximum of five minutes with each person. You can say anything you want, but the first thing you must tell them is why they should support trans rights. I’ll exclusively talk about the economy and nothing else. I bet I can collect more D votes, deal?
