    The ADA has, and continues to morph into something it was never intended to be.  There's a huge industry related to ADA compliance and lucrative, frivolous, non compliance lawsuits.  

    You can be sued for potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars if a sign, on your property is not posted at the federal gov't's ADA required height.  Listened to an NPR production on that very topic. Lawyers going around cities, and identifying little mistakes like that, and making careers of prosecuting it.

    That's how most of these good intention-ed laws/ideas get fucked up.  We're plagued with it throughout this country.  Too many unscrupulous lawyers (every industry has them), with too much power and temptation to find a quick and easy meal ticket.  Then the rest of us have to deal with the consequences.

  2. Anyone know anything about CGS Operating, LLC.  Appears to be a brokerage bunch out of Decatur or possibly Tyler.  They are leasing a large block of acreage in far northern Midland Basin in an area that I foolishly thought was out of the unconventional plays.  I'm curious who they are leasing for.  Looks like they just busted up a small conventional drilling deal we were in the process of putting together. Lovely...

  3. I predict the Mountain kills Arya as she tries to assassinate Cersei. Everybody know Cersei is on the top of her list. It's almost too predictable to have Arya kill Cersei, plus she has already done the most important assassination.

    Leading the Hound to go ape shit and kill his brother in an epic fight, possibly dying as well. And Cersei ain't surviving. Someone will take her out.

     

  4. The scene where Sansa and Tyrion were in the crypt sitting behind the big stone monument with the dead running around killing people, Sansa pulls out the dragon glass dagger and her and Tryion are looking at each other in silence...I thought they were going off themselves.

    Also, In regards to the significance of the NK killing Bran, I thought I read somewhere in this thread that if he killed Bran, it would send the world into eternal darkness. So the whole Night King vs the Lord of Light. But that was never brought up as far as I've seen or remember.

    Yeah. Eagles has really good speed, especially for his size. He ran a 4.51 at a Houston opening where everyone was posting slow times due to bad weather outside. Z is where I’d prefer to have my worst route runner because they run a lot of deep routes, like go’s and posts, while X is more of a possession receiver that needs to run good routes. 

    Eagles has struggled with route running in the past and he loses a lot of his speed on cuts, so I think Z would fit him a lot better.

    Burt might compete for the Z as well, when he comes back.

    Coaches there are just witnesses. Will not be charged. 

    Again, I may be wrong, but none of this has to do with paying players. That isn't illegal. It's the money that flowed to the coaches in their positions as state and defacto federal employees. 

    Wait...wut?

    I've never seen such a raging butt hurt inferiority complex from people whose team is up 14. Trying so hard to replace aggy

    Nah, they’re not near as cultish or weird as aggys, but when they’re decent at something the fan base is as obnoxious as any fan base in the country. And they carry the tech “chip on the shoulder” like a badge of honor. 

    They got a good coach and team...we don’t.

    39 to 35 halftime score...... 1st Half was well played.  Too many bad offensive possessions for Horns in 2nd Half lead to easy offense for K-State.

    Don't get your critique about "KSU was just mediocre"..... KSU played great 2nd half defense and was highly efficient on offense.  KSU is one of the top defensive teams in the country......

    Maybe you're just frustrated "rock chalk" is 2 games behind wildcats in the loss column??

    Yeah, I don’t get that either. “KSt was mediocre”, my ass. That has to be one of their better offensive games of the season.

    That's right, we did. Now, many of us are getting shingles because we had measles. I got it last summer. It sucked. Good news. There is now a good vaccine for shingles. If you had measles as a kid you should get the new vaccine.

    I believe your thinking of chickenpox that causes shingles. Measles is a different virus that is much more dangerous for kids.

  10. Isn't there a vaccine for chickenpox now?  When I was a kid everyone got chickenpox, right of passage sort of thing.  Turns out once you have that virus in your system it never leaves.  So now (that I'm old) I have had 3 episodes of Bell's Palsy thanks to that "harmless" chickenpox virus (varicella-zoster) and shingles is caused by the same thing. Just reactivates later in life as herpes zoster.

    If Wiley is a legit 6’5”, he’s gotta already be well north of the 225 lbs at which he was listed.  Gonna be a big boy, with the athletic ability to play HS QB. May be a real surprise.

    Kid may grow himself into an OL prospect.  He has the kind of athleticism that could translate into an elite LT.
