  1. Thanks. Glad they moved that up a week.
  2. Has anyone been able to get Audio Sharing to work? It was one of the main features announced back in June, but no one’s been talking about it this week. I can get the “bring another device close to your phone” pop-up, but nothing happens after I do that. Clearly I’m becoming an old.
  3. Basically, what phd said.
  4. It’s like the way they started the season 13-2 and have put up a sterling 45-84 since.
  5. Sure, but I don't think that's analogous to the situation we're in now, with a fully developed storm. I'm thinking more about things like this NHC statement just before Harvey made landfall as a major hurricane, while anticipating a similar breakdown in steering currents: I remember seeing it drift northwest towards San Antonio, wondering if the city could withstand low-end Cat 1 wind speeds. But even local meteorologists never even mentioned it as a possibility.
  6. I find it interesting that everyone seemed to have faith in the models during Harvey, and those models largely nailed the stall and retreat back to the Gulf. I was in San Antonio and Harvey was heading straight towards S.A., but no one thought it would actually make it to the city because the models said it wouldn’t. It feels as though there’s a lot less trust in the models this time.
  7. Also amazing to me: Cubs’ last three 100-win seasons were in 2016, 1935, and 1910. Red Sox in 2018, 1946, and 1915. The fact that we have a shot at three in a row is crazy. (Having a hard time finding the Rangers’ last three, or even last one, but will keep looking...)
  8. If you don’t like the weather in Texas, wait five months. It’ll change.
  9. This has been my thought as well. And it wouldn’t just be a shutdown, but a default. I don’t think the administration would want a debt limit breach even in the face of an impeachment, but I’d be happier if it weren’t even an option.
  10. Right. Meanwhile, referring to a sitting Congressman (who also loves his country) as dumb, disloyal, and a total loser - ON INDEPENDENCE DAY - is a terrific look.
  11. Huh. I thought it was prohibitively difficult to change the schedule on such short notice. At least, that’s what Daniels said two years ago...
  12. San Antonio’s force field appears to be engaged and I couldn’t be happier. Don’t need any of that craziness.
  13. With White on deck, windmill was the only option.
  14. Certainly not the most egregious thing in this thread, and I’m generally agnostic on the cameras myself. But I love the fact that the party of “law and order”, the party that “backs the blue”, the party that’s “for immigration as long as it’s legal, but these people are illegal...” has such a problem with devices to aid in law enforcement. Couldn’t be that their “law and order” stuff only applies when the targets are primarily people of color, could it? And when cameras like this start affecting affluent white folks, suddenly they have to start looking for nuance and shades of gray?
  15. Here’s Laffer doing the classic Republican “OMG EVERYBODY PANIC ABOUT DEFICITS AND THE DEBT AND INFLATION AND RATES” bit while a Democrat is in office trying to clean up the mess of the previous (GOP) administration.
  16. Heavy rain event more than a severe event for San Antonio?
  17. Forgive my ignorance on this (and forgive me if you guys have covered this in the thread), but what am I missing here? How can both of these be true? Seems like in the first he’s saying he decided he wouldn’t make a determination “one way or the other”, but in the second he’s saying that he would have made and publicized a certain determination if the facts had led him to it. (Transcript)
  18. I’ve wondered how the Republicans on this board can accept that such an important part of their lives is so aggy. I mean, we’ve already pretty well established that TexAgs is one of the largest collection of stumblefucks on the interwebs. It takes some serious mental gymnastics to think, “those nut-squeezing mouthbreathers are dipshits through and through, but man, they have some really good insights into politics and policy.”
  19. As I was dropping my third-grader off this morning, I gave him a “love you, son, have a good day.” And he responded, “love you too, dad,” then, “see ya laterrrrrrrrrrr” in a Robert Ford voice. Rewarding moments of parenthood.
  20. You’re a far more magnanimous person than I am. IMO, fuck that guy.
  21. I’d like to think that the addition of Murray and Walker, and another year of growth from White, would at least be enough to push us into the conference semis. If you have those guys and stay relatively healthy all season, you have a shot at a higher seed which immediately boosts those chances. But expecting a team led by LA and DeMar to be a real contender is foolish at this point. We knew that in the abstract, but last night crystallized it.
  22. He’s a good guy and he was a key piece of the 2013-2014 teams, but Patty is just atrocious now. i can’t figure out if he’s worse on the defensive end or on the offensive end as a ball handler. Each time down court I change my mind. It’s a cruel twist to the old, “Could Kawhi get buckets on Kawhi?” thing. Stoppable force meets movable object.
  23. 1) I don’t think that’s “obvious”. 2) Even if you’re right about what Pop was yelling, LaMarcus also didn’t apply any pressure. So he either didn’t hear him or chose to ignore him 3) An NBA player shouldn’t need to be told what to do in that situation. Forbes was pretty clearly telling LA to foul.
