  1. Hmmm. 98,300 online students. Does its place in the rankings include online bullying?
  2. The weird part about that is he has no kids.
  3. And why strain the beaten eggs? (Sorry if that belonged in the stupid questions thread.)
  4. They're out of you!
  5. Wait . . . Grand fucking Canyon University has over 100,000 students? Are a bunch of those remote/online?
  6. I hear this intro and it takes me back to the end of Real Genius and being a kid in the 1980s.
  7. Fair. But I wasn't at UT for the McWilliams era.
  8. Quality of female students walking though the south mall on a Spring day.
  9. Abbott is such a fucking loser.
  10. Sounds like something someone who's buried lots of bodies would say.
  11. Hey fuck you, pal.
  12. Probably not much. I think that song has been a mainstay on the setlists for all of their tours going back to 1987.
  13. Yeah, we're in an age full of scams, so it's appropriate to be skeptical of a lot of disaster relief funds. I'll figure out how to donate in other ways, but I'm making it a habit to add a few bucks on the HEB bill every time I check out, when I've usually blown over those charitable contributions in the past. I'm confident that money (hopefully accumulating by thousands of others statewide doing the same at their HEBs) will be put to good use.
  14. The 70s soundtrack in the Guardians trilogy was almost a character itself. I can see why Gunn wanted to use an orchestral score for the most part, so it wouldn't seem like an extensive soundtrack was a schtick. I liked the subtle homage to John Williams' score.
  15. Would have posted this one. The song has been overplayed since its release. But when you see it live, like I did when the band opened with it in Boston in 2015, it's pretty fucking awesome.
  16. My senior year was okay. Ten wins, last SWC champions, a win at aggy, the first year of Ricky's record-breaking career, my first trip to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. But it was still Mackovic'd with an unacceptable tie against a shitty OU team after a huge lead at halftime, and a flat performance in the loss to Virginia Tech.
  17. That, and thinking about the photo of the automobile that was mostly buried in a riverbank, I suspect a lot of the missing are beneath the earth and will never be recovered.
  18. I think she knows that. But it's remarkable that we've heard the "160 missing" for several days, and numbers in the "missing" column have not been moving to the "deceased" column. In other words, it seems odd that they haven't recovered significantly more of those missing in the past few days.
  19. Yeah, but those Mackovic years.
  20. Maybe true. But a lot people like me didn't go to a public school they would consider rigorous, and I got a ton out of my college education. I also went to UT, which was dirt cheap in the 1990's, and I doubt that education would've been any better if I went to a private school or an out-of-state school and paid significantly more.
  21. Legitimate AI generation would have Elon throwing those kids in the water.
