    It also gives you four choices. Here's another:

    I think the key problem is that the complainant is bona fide batshit crazy. Seriously, check out the Reddit thread on her. You cannot put her on the stand, for any reason, in any case.

    I’m no fan of Garza. This petition, especially by this complainant, is bullshit.

    I took a short dive down the Mary Dupuis rabbit hole and I'm stressed out just reading second hand about her. 

    Wow, she truly needs mental health assistance in a very bad way and it's clear from what I saw she is, as other deduce, pretty clearly being used as a pawn.

    If you really want to expand your riding ability there are a few classes I've taken over the years.

    I should clarify that I got an exemption in Texas with a motorcycle permit at 15 and own a CRF250L, Ninja 1000 that I've ridden from Austin to Sturgis, Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, and on to Seattle before having it shipped back to Austin as well as a YZ250.

    One thing that will up your riding game is learning off road basics. They teach this class at a location outside Atlanta. I'm sure there are other locations too. The one outside Atlanta has off-road bikes you can use for the class. (Or it used to)

    https://msf-usa.org/start-your-ride/dirtbike-school/

    There are also follow up courses available. I've taken one for off road but not the others. However, I'm confident it will greatly enhance your capabilities, and I suggest taking all of them that you can and confirming if they provide a motorcycle if yours isn't suited.

    https://msf-usa.org/advance-your-ride/

    Finally, if you've taken all those and want to move your skill WAY, WAY higher California Super Bike has a 2 day class where they provide a BMW S1000 and 2 days of track school. You'll learn more in those 2 days than you will in several years of riding. Things like, entry point, apex, exit point, trail breaking, entry speeds, just so, so much. It is NOT cheap, but you'll be a very different rider on the other side.

    If you have questions on gear, I own more than I care to admit. Happy to provide feedback in as much or as little detail as you like.

    On insurance, Progressive is one of the better motorcycle insurance companies, but I suggest shopping every couple of years. 

    Edit - Because pics or it didn't happen

    This nil bs needs to come to its ultimate conclusion where athletic departments pay players directly and there are salary caps and shit.

    You do know that the only people who benefit from salary caps are the owners right? 

    Not sure exactly why you're endorsing making college even more like the NFL particularly when it actually removes an advantage for Texas.

    With all of the drama surrounding them if they get rained upon, get road grime on them, bird shit, etc., you'd think they'd spend $50 or $100 for some fucking plastic wrap.  I've seen cheap-ass Toyotas a third the price of those get the full wrap treatment on car haulers.

    I'm guessing they were being shipped on a Sunday because all the weather in the area Saturday. Probably headed to Nashville and it's clear through. Plastic wrap is expensive bro.

  6. Here is a really good group I found out about today while listening to a podcast regarding bottled water issues with PFAS.

    https://www.ewg.org/

    Side note, the podcast was Stuff You Should Know which has been around 14 years. It a great podcast and tries it's best not to go full CR. They do some but...

    https://stuffyoushouldknow.com/

    You can search for podcasts on that page. If you search for Bottled Water that show will come up.

    I absolutely love living in a place where our government can’t protect us from harmful chemicals released by publicly traded companies into our water supply, but they can protect us from internet porn. I feel super safe knowing they have my best interests at heart and that our children will grow up healthy. Yay America!

    You seem like a communist. They are always thinking of the children. I've illustrated above how amazing the fishing scene is in the middle of Dallas suburbs. Take your family, take a picnic, make it a day of fun and fishing on the Rowlett River while completely free of porn.

    Why do you hate Amurica?

    So I live in a suburb of Dallas, Rowlett.  There's a nasty-ass river that somewhat divides Rowlett from Garland.  At any given time, there are 10+ vehicles parked along 66 due to folks fishing.  They're not releasing.  I mean, Lake Ray Hubbard is bad enough.  I don't understand how anyone can even think about eating anything from either of these locations.

    @TwiceHorn can confirm.  :)

    There's Mills Branch Creek and Bradfield Creek that both feed into Rowlett Creek and ultimately Ray Hubbard.

    For those unfamiliar with these lovely creeks, Bradfield basically starts as run off from industrial:

    Then beautiful Mills Branch starts at industrial and consumer recycling plants:

    They come meet Rowlett Creek just south of 66 which is great for parking:

    And you can see the lovely lake action of Ray Hubbard:

    Damn... seeing the before picture... here is the after.... is aggy this beaten down from Jimbo era?  There is like 20 students left swaying in the stands

    They couldn't have known the turnout would be so bad when loading up on invites for it:

     

    There are truly and seriously, substantially more people on the field than in the stands.

    Wow!

    Did she include a picture of her under a tree (in Reno of course) with the application?

    I stand corrected. There are exactly 2 people I've heard of in this world that wanted to move to Reno. Meet Eve Peyser.

    Because obligatory tree shot was discovered with Google: Reno image search.

    I was in the Reno with my husband for the very first time in October 2023. We fell in love with the city and the entire area. 

    I have read and heard a lot of bullshit in my life. I've met a lot of people from a lot of different walks of life. One of them was even born and raised in Reno.

    What I've never heard or read, from anyone, be it fiction or real life, is a dream "to live in Reno".

    Never. Not even close. Hell, I've never met anyone who wanted to move to Reno, not even the guy who grew up there and left it. I'm sure there are people who want to move to Reno, for reason i don't care to know, but they've never crossed my circle.
