  1. Texas fans, where QB controversy isn't just the norm, they never end. This thread truly amuses me, QB controversy over players who haven't been here in decades. Awesome sauce.
  2. This and the couple of post from @bolverk above are the sort of things that causes bigger issues than most will recognize. I'm curious about the view numbers on those, but if they are going even minor viral, it's a bigger issue than Russia will ever admit. Part of war propaganda is now absolutely in the hands of influencers, for better or worse. For better, in this case for the record.
  3. I really liked Ballard it just didn't resonate for me like Bosch. Likely in part due to a female lead rather than male, but I found some of the subplots/twists extremely predictable. I should note, I do love Maggie Q in the roll and the bulk of my issues weren't with her nor her performance.
  4. Russian firefighters extinguish Sochi oil depot blaze after Ukrainian drone attack, authorities say - Reuters Link Some take aways for me in this article. -Based on available reporting you have to fully commend Ukrainian war efforts on the lack of non-military casualties and even injuries -Russia is doing their best to stifle internal concern about the scale and success of these attacks by not publishing total drone numbers -I'm confident air traffic issues continues to build Oligarchs and public frustration -Military has to be embarrassed by these and thats terrible for morale and undermines authority. Not an acceptable reality with Russian military leadership.
  5. 1, x, 2 head tilt and evil grin out front should have told you. Because here on Surly we know the more likely she is to kill you the better in bed and a subjective opinion can be and often is, factually incorrect.
  6. Doh, should have clarified. Wild Bill 2012 with Charlie Creed-Miles (new to me)
  7. Wild Bill is a very well acted, cast, written and directed. Has a very atypical arc and a moving, unique take on an otherwise pretty common excon plot. Really enjoyed it.
  8. Yeah, Nashville has a similar mix of tourist, aspiring influencers, tech bros/hoes and mixed state transplants. It's not Austin or god forbid Orlando but one managed to clip me for my first accident in 3 decades. Of course, his insurance was fake.
  9. Also, you are on the road with Austin drivers.
  10. Well, that's exactly why he didn't name said QB. That leaves room later for whoever invariably replaces Reed at mid October as "The Fix". He knows he audience well enough to know they can't connect the "complex" dots. Even better, worse come to worse he gets to use that when he incorrectly picks aggie to beat tu. "Well, I said it before the season". I doubt he goes that way, but it is an out if he needs it.
  11. Only thing missing in this story is playing drunken ice hockey on "the pond". Protip, don't play drunk ice hockey against 6'+ Alaskan born crazy white guys. It ends poorly.
  12. Would you say he's someone to hear your prayers? Perhaps, someone who cares? If you lift up the receiver, he'll make you a believer.
  13. Forgot that they started that bus. Doh! And I would never judge anyone for college years thc and hallucinogin use. In fact, I would question not doing so, without judgment.
  14. This can't be a legitimate, logical thought. You're not this unfamiliar with aggie, are you????
  15. Spent a decent amount of time in Gunny round early 90s. Your son smokes weed, nttiawwt. He hitch up to CB on the winter weekends?
  16. Well, the more important aspects are whether or not his mom has nice bolt-ons and if she thirst traps Austin suburbs. Aggie traditions both...
  17. Based on Will Ramsey's hair and major, we share similar preferences of females and hobbies. We'd probably get along like brothers or hate one another.
  18. Oracle is building an entire "area" downtown and moving their HQ to Nashville. Amazon is already in downtown so are a lot of large companies.
  19. So if you look at the route from the airport to downtown and/or midtown (Vanderbilt area) you cross I24, I 440, I65. I created a map from BNA to W Nashville to help clarify. I40 is similar to I35 in that those are to 2 most traveled Interstates in the US for heavy (trucking) traffic. I65 going north south is also an extremely busy Interstate to Birmingham to the south and Louisville to the north. I24 is traffic for north and south bound traffic for Atlanta. I would say there is an accident or car stopped between 7-9 then 3-7 about 20-30% of the time I go through (state workers get off at 3 pm so the traffic hours are longer than most cities in the afternoon). The civil engineer that designed the Interstate loops around Nashville clearly failed fluid dynamics. I used to have a place in Hermitage just east of the airport. I ALWAYS budgeted 30 minutes to get downtown. Nashville, like Austin is a massive tourist city. #1 Bachelorette party place in the US (or was yay!!), with an NFL AND NHL team downtown. I DON'T MEAN CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN. Then there are the Country Music Award and all sorts of similar stuff to big Austin festivals. This under ground train would be a pretty similar trip, with MORE traffic congestion issues than Bergstrom to downtown Austin than BNA to downtown Nashville. The worst, like Austin is big weekends on Thursday/Friday then Sunday/Monday. Now, tunneling in TN is.... um.. tricky. A train is absolutely useful and helpful.
  20. Richter is a lot like decibel. Without a examples its hard to comprehend logarithmic scale, at least for me and most folks. Amusing decible scale I found:
  21. If forced to mainline news, which I abhor, Reuters, BBC and Al Jazeera are my drugs of choice. I'll peep NYT and WSJ but the rest, I pretty much avoid. I do like good genes and jeans though and hot women with/in them.
  22. Well, Sydney Sweeney is absolutely capable of giving me a boner, but I lack a fat cow of a wife to please. So.. not sure where that puts me on the spectrum.
