  1. And if he didn't have any other options, then he should have resigned. And held a press conference explaining why. Go out a hero, not become a fascist enabler.
  2. Also, speaking of being old, The Crown and Anchor was called "The Beach" when I was in school.
  3. Is that the corner of 21st and speedway? Son of a bitch. I used to live in a two story house that was to the left of where that orange front loader is. Right behind Record Exchange (RIP). I'm not sure of this "Sound Exchange" y'all speak of. Duplex split upstairs and downstairs. We lived upstairs, couple of chick lived downstairs. They would call us about once a week or so to come out and run the drag worms off their front porch. Our kitchen window faced north. You could see into the windows of a Jewish student center. We'd gather and drink beer and watch their aerobics classes at 5 and 6 pm MWF. Anybody remember the ass floss outfits the ladies would wear over their tights when doing aerobics? I member. Rent was 400 bucks a month (350 in the summer). Not 400 each, 400 total for a two bedroom one bath with kitchen and living room. Literally less than 50 yards from campus. No central AC though. But back then there would only be a handful to maybe two weeks worth of 100+ days during the summer. And speaking of Liberty Lunch-- I saw Slayer (Hell Awaits tour), GWAR, Dead Milkmen, Morphine, too many more to remember there.
  4. Yep, one block from RLM. One beer and a burger was a standard Friday lunch.
  5. What is the name of the place next to Hyde Park Bar and Grill? I meet up with friends there for morning margs and tacos whenever I'm back in town. Love that place. I think its the same old woman working the register that has always been there.
  6. Some good memories, and some not so good, in those pics. A piece of me died when I went back to the drag years later and saw that the Showdown had closed. Also spent a lot of time, money, and liver and brain cells at Posse East (which was called "The Beach" when I first showed up on the 40) and the bar next door, whose name escapes me at the moment. Or maybe the bar next door was called the Posse East.
  7. Any of you old timers ever eat at GM Steakhouse? Not the one on Lamar, the one near campus. You would order a burger with "everything". They would ask, you sure you want everything? You say yes, and they would whip out some random object, like a carburetor from an old Chevy, and slap that on your plate.
  8. Bus driver did a good job holding his own, considering he was having to drive and fight at the same time.
  9. state of Texas contributes more than the student body to UT? I honestly don't know the answer to that question. Does the state contribute more than all the tuition, fees, etc the students pay? At one time, probably so, but with tuition increases, maybe?
  10. Oh I know. I'm saying he should reverse course, admit it was a mistake to ask for DPS help, and tell them to GTFO campus.
  11. I keep hearing about "anti-semitism" in these protests. I scoured the net looking for any sign of violence, destruction, or anti-semitism in that protest and found zero. I saw students who were watching the protest wearing Israeli flags and saw no evidence of any anti-semitism directed toward them. If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me. If the fucking proud boys can march with guns and torches and chant "The jews will not replace us," why is not ok for students to march in support of Palestine or Gaza or even Hamas? Or be against Israel? Again, show me the violence or destruction. Hartzell needs to do the right thing- tell DPS to GTFO campus, or resign. Abbott needs to DIAF. The presence of the jack booted thugs, oh sorry, I meant DPS troopers was an unnecessary provocation and escalation. tldr: Fuck abbott, fuck DPS, fuck Hartzell. Also: fuck Israel AND Hamas.
  12. You never hear it spoken because no knows how to say it
  13. Dumb question amnesty please: Can these vehicles, cyberturky specifically but any EV in general, be disconnected from the internet and still function? Because fuck letting a company use my vehicle as part of a data center.
  14. I have a co-worker who whenever he needs to make a decision about something will say "I'll pray on it."
  15. If the church isn't getting its taste, doing business on the sabbath is a sin.
  16. Absolutely no reason, other than turdition, that Biden has to let the DOTarD get briefed. Biden should deny the briefings, and if he gets called out, issue a statement something like "Given the fact that the Republican nominee is currently under criminal indictment for mishandling of confidential documents, as well as the reports of his cavalier attitude to top secret information during his time at the White House, we have decided to deny his request to be part of these briefings."
  17. My elderly step mom got t-boned, car totaled, pretty serious injuries, lots of medical bills, can't drive herself anymore, loss of mobility, yadda yadda yadda, and of course, getting fucked by insurance companies. I'm seven hours from Austin, and my attorney wife doesn't practice PI anyway. Anybody? DM me or post up in here, either way is fine by me.
  18. and then add another indicatement for witness intimidation. just kidding, nothing would happen.
  19. How would locking him up delay or stop the trail? Wouldn't they just go the lock up and bring him to trial when it started?
  20. o/u on how long a kid gets shot either because a) accidental discharge b) student steals/finds gun c) teacher loses their shit d) draws down on a student when they shouldn't have
  21. wait what? Did he say "anogenital" heh heh heh
  22. Gets convicted, no real consequences other than some fines which he will never pay is my choice. Loses/wins election is a toss up.
