  1. How the fuck does this family dollar min wage Purdy punk who looks like a 15 year old kid dominate and shred the vaunted Dallas Cowboy defense like tissue paper?  Zillion dollar Dak is completely helpless (yeah, the OL sucks, the receivers can't get open, but I'm used up on excuses for Dak . The 49ers look like a well oiled football machine, quick and precise and creative. Dallas plays like a janky random pile of spare parts with no coherent execution or plan. Dallas only looks good when they play the worst teams in the league.

     

     

     

  2. It's hard to believe how much it's changed in a generation. I was admitted to UT in '89 and it seemed like you could be a total mushroom and still get in with nothing more than a pretty good SAT (1250+). I don't think there was an essay, or any real need for extracurriculars. UT even threw money at me even though my family had no financial need., Tuition was like $400-500 a semester those first couple of years. I was practically making a profit.

  3. Lost in a Guatemalan jungle? With the Urban Sweatsuit from J Peterman, you'll be as dry and comfortable as if you were still in your air conditioned West Side brownstone.  Inspired by the practice of Central American natives who learned that lining their underclothing with shredded palm fronds would wick away sweat and odor.  A patent-pending blend of natural fibers and advanced biopolymers to control moisture while still providing excellent breathability.

  4. Could some of y'all experts speculate which games besides Wyoming are most likely to end up on LHN? I'm thinking about singing up for Sling Orange w/ LHN, but it's not really worth it to me unless I get at least two games within a payment period. It seems to me like the Kansas game might be something LHN picks up, but that's just a wild guess.

    Probably should go in the trivial things that annoy you thread but I don’t get why people leave their outside lights on 24/7.  I drive around my neighborhood and probably 1/3 or more of the houses have all their porch/garage floodlights on during the day.  Turn that shit off or get smart devices.  Every little bit helps.  

    Even at night, there's gross overuse of outdoor lighting. Almost every house in my hood keeps lights blasting (front and back yards) all night long, like it will keep the boogeyman away. One down side to energy efficient lighting is that since it doesn't impact the electric bill much anymore, there's no incentive to use restraint.

    We need laws to prevent light trespass--light your own property if you want, but if your neighbors can see direct glare from your unshielded fixtures you are doing it wrong.

    For real, I have my AC at 74, a box fan running, one light on in the whole house, the TV, the fridge, and a few vampire power appliances going.  Meanwhile, every business in town isn't doing shit and every HEB is blasting their coolers and freezers.  I don't think I'm the problem.

    74?! You can do better than that!  I'm at 79 and have zero lights on. It doesn't feel good.
