  1. This is a very holding call.
  2. Lexington is a smaller city, but it has a goodly amount of hotels within walking distance. Checked the other day and got a $300ish per night rate. If you want to go book a hotel with free cancelation now. They are limited and will get really expensive. Lexington is a remarkably cool city with shockingly good food. The people are pretty intense about their football ball but not in the extreme. If I was going to pick a similar fan base from Big XII I would probably say Kansas State or ISU. Knowledgeable, very into the game, young folks will be stupid but in all a fun experience. Co-eds are substantially better than KSU or ISU or OSU... its um... surprisingly good in that regard. The real value is the surrounding area/world. From horses to bourbon I firmly believe Kentucky is one of the most underrated states for topography in the US. The rolling farm hills going into Appalachia are truly amazing.
  3. I noted it a couple of pages back, basically, when the tarrifs were announced. And here we are.. In April/May, all the major Audio Visual tech companies have announced 15-20% increases in cost. I'm advising clients to actually prepare for closer to 30-40% because I anticipate shortages from a buying frenzy that has already begun. I deal with, Commericial Real Estate, SMB, High Ed and Enterprise clients. They are pushing through hardware purchases for summer installs and projects not yet funded for installation to beat the rush. Some of these names won't mean anything to most people but below is a list of manufacturers I've personally spoken with that have officially announced. A short list. It stems from control systems to output devices and all parts in between. The will liquid for capital projects is decreasing, OpEx is worse. I've been in tech a long time and when the lowest or tightest budget clients are pushing project hardware purchases through its historically been the canary in the coal mine regarding budget choices in the future. Anyone applauding these tarrifs isn't aware of what's coming down the pipe. I know a lot of people are concerned, understandably so, about social and international issues. They need to worry as much or more about food and basic operational aspects of our economy. It's got me worried. Go ahead and search how often you've seen me state I'm worried. Spoiler: Don’t think, outside of sports, I have prior to this post. This is JUST AV aspects of tech. I see other sides facing the same issues as well. That's even more concerning as so much of our world function now depends on tech. Do you walk in and pay cash to pump fuel? Do you pay cash at your coffee shop? How old is your phone? Is your company moving offices? Are you hiring new people? Will they need a PC? When did you last replace your HVAC? How old is your washing machine? How old is your car?
  4. I blame all those fucking Peeps man!!
  5. I ain't up in here tryin' to defend Russia, but it honestly sounds broadly, like a more focused path than higher education in the US. Granted, its changed a lot since the war with Ukraine started. The main point I will not is the vocational aspects which every 1st world country outside the US addresses.

  6. I tossed that softball right out there. Good job in the follow through my man.
  7. Wow, I had no idea. Seems like it went off the rails around covid and is pretty much dead. It was a huge event, which I did not realize started in 1995. A link that provided some idea of how it went to shit: ROT Dates
  8. If there is one truth everyone knows about Trump, its his ego. When anyone, anyone messes with his, he will be putative. Why anyone thought Putin would agree to anything that wasn't essentially, all your Ukrainian are belong to me, I will never know... but one megalomoniacal ego might help dealing with another's.
  9. Yeah, its great to see how we all came together ultimately in agreement. Dogs don't belong in HEB, kids are terrible things, and @Brisketexan is a Llamaphobic, penitentiary chicken loving, neo-Alapacan man, open to new ideas and ways of looking at the world. A positive light of happiness in every thread.
  10. Yeah the fella that brought him to the boat was 100% a shark who was all: "HEY, humans, can you get your bullshit off this tasty mother fucker for me? I'm starving and don't do plastics." He's an environmentist shark and I'm absolutely on team granola shark. (For the record, I'm fully aware that was a completely different boat and turtle. Let me have my fun assholes.)
  11. As far as trips go, OSU, Kentucky and Florida would be the order of my priority. Gonna pass in OSU this go around but I talked in depth about Kentucky being a great trip on another thread. For a extended trip with some driving, its for sure the best on the schedule. I've spent enough time in Mississippi. Unless work forces me back there, I won't be returning. Georgia fans are the worst in the SEC, yes, I include the sheep farmers, Sister Daughter Wives and Bitchin' Camaro folks in that stack. If you know, you know.

  13. Fuck man I miss Mike! Also, I'm pretty sure Craig James killed 5 hookers
  14. Bro, do you even SEC! Have you seen the power house baseball schools Kentucky has beaten to get to 15-9?? Don't bother looking at Kentucky's schedule, take my word for it. A real who's who of college baseball elite.
  15. The Kardashians entire business model is predicated on stealing an idea/products, completely shitiffying it and then put their name on it. Sell in limited style "exclusive, limited time, unique" offer, then dumping it and moving on to a new one. Yep, they too have a crypto scam, hell the link above has a lot of them. The crypto scam, in many cases was the cherry on top of some truly heinous, immoral, illegal and down right evil shit in some of the influencer cases. Basically, if they've been on Bravo, or you know their name, they are very likely to be scum of the earth. There are some rare exceptions to that rule, and im sure there are plenty of actual entertainers that get a lot of subscribers. Those are certainly the exceptions. Fortunately, it appears the look at me I am a fucking rich piece of shit, is now trending down. For now...
  16. So you're saying we might land Gunnar!?!? Out fucking standing.
  17. Fuck off man, who wants the main antagonist of the Telenova to be named Coach Sanders. Hell fucking no, Coach Prime or Prime Time is a proper villain name!!
  18. Outside the crypto I didn't get true shit heads vibes off her. Based on my very limited knowledge she seems to have pulled back her social media presence and gone back to regular life. We shall see.
  19. If you were throwing a dart prediction what do you think a realistic record is this year? On a quick glance 3 wins easy, 6 wins very confident, 8 wins certainly realistic is what I see. Beyond that I'd be guessing randomly.
  20. The $Hauk crypto is beyond the standard crypto shade levels. I doubt she was specifically part of the plot, but it definitely looks like a plot to me. She's not the first influencer to take a ride on the crypto scam bus, and certainly not the last. CNBC quick review More In depth information Deep Dive on Influencer Crypto Scams
  21. Might sound odd, as I've been open about my love of the Deion Telenova and anticipation he would leave but I'm actually glad he decided to stay. While the drama aspect draws me in for sure, and I question his methods and results the Deion experiment is very intriguing and I'm very curious to see how it pans out. For personal reasons I dont like CU football, blame Rashan Salaam if you like, but don't hate the school generally.
  22. I don't disagree with your broader point of issues at dog parks. However, I live on 40+ acres and my girls have to work around white tail, coyotes and the very, very rare bear. I've also volunteered doing behavior training for shelters throughout my life. I spot trouble people pretty quick, which usually means dogs with issues and GTFO, or go to parks with far fewer people bigger spaces. So, your concern is noted but the Redneck Princess and Drama Queen will be okay.
  23. I thought we were agreeing, but looking at my post it sure as shit sound like I was arguing with you which I didn't intend. So.. yeah.. my dumb meter is on tilt right now, but it's 4 pm on Friday and I stand by my point I love you man, just please dont shit bag on Llamas.
