    Anything really, although if you are domestic don’t use it to watch YouTube and Netflix as that is an unnecessary suck on the bandwidth. If you need it traveling abroad then it’s fine. But if we have a few hundred people trying to stream Netflix on it at the same time for 2 hours it’ll be hard to cover the network cost for so cheap. I have access to an unmetered 10gbps connection I’d put this on for fairly reasonable in a few US locations. 

    What if you are just traveling with a broad ?

    Then finish WT101 bottle and open another.

    I suggest you add a small layer of chili and chopped onion on that bottom layer of cheese as well.

    I'd be happy to discuss with you any cases where a person wrongly convicted of rape was subsequently wrongfully executed.  Stanning for rapists.   I'd love to claim to be surprised, but this literally is your brand. 

    I thought Greg Abbott was going to get all of the rapists off of the street.

    We are due for a train robbery. Can't let San Antonio own the last robbery.

     

    https://www.tpr.org/arts-culture/2020-07-10/50-years-ago-there-was-a-great-little-train-robbery-in-san-antonio

    An iconic San Antonio attraction has a darkly quirky event attached to it for all times. It happened in Brackenridge Park, on that little train that 300,000 people, primarily parents and children, ride yearly.

    Tim Morrow is President and CEO of the San Antonio Zoo, which operates the train.

    "It's a historic miniature train that's been in Brackenridge Park since the 1950s," he said. "It's just a fun experience to be on the train, to hear the train horn going as you go through the park.”   

    The train wends its way under the tree canopy of Brackenridge, over creeks and the rolling grassy hills of the Brackenridge Golf Course. One Saturday in July of 1970 though, the experience that families relish turned downright weird.  

    "Fifty years ago, next weekend, two robbers stopped the train and began to rob the passengers of their goods — their checkbooks, their jewelry and their money," he said.

    Passengers first laughed, thinking it was an Old West re-enactment gag. But when one of the robbers put a gun to the head of a passenger, they figured out it wasn't a joke.

    "It was the first time a train robbery had happened in Texas in 47 years, so it had some historical significance to it," Morrow said.

    The robbers were soon apprehended and turned out to be Army soldiers stationed at Ft. Sam Houston.

    "It was a federal crime to rob a train, so those two gentlemen did their time," he said.

    That is fucking awesome.

    I had never heard that story before.

    Snowed today. Kid has been asking for a bread bowl for a while so fuck it. Tomato soup with jalapeño cheese toast and some bacon because why not.

    Forgot about this. Philly cheesesteak taco on my son’s “slightly” used plate featuring leftover fries and tots.

    Here’s a breakfast sandwich as a means of making up for my tardiness in posting the first offering.

    Seems as though the cheese might have been an afterthought on the taco.

    Just within the past year or so, I've started falling asleep earlier and waking up significantly earlier than I ever used to. Have started hitting up my neighborhood HEB at like 7 in the morning on weekdays. It's amazing, like having the whole store to yourself. Very good chance you'll be the only person in whatever aisle you go down.

    On the downside, I'm turning into an old boomer when it comes to falling asleep during movies and tv shows. Wife and I usually watch an hour-long episode of whatever series we're streaming after dinner. She always wants to watch a 2nd one, but half the time I'm struggling to not doze off through the final 20 minutes of the first episode, even when it's something I'm really interested in. Often have to catch up on the end of the previous night's episode before dinner. 

    Welcome to the getting old world.

    I do the exact same thing because eating makes me sleepy.

    Here’s a data point:  viewers of their appearance on Ed Sullivan:

    1956 Elvis

    72% of US homes had a TV

    60 million viewers

    —-

    1964 Beatles

    92% of US homes had a TV

    73 million viewers

     

     

    Does not control for total population, but just eyeballing those numbers…

    It’s Elvis   

     

    Again, that’s just one data point, but that’s a pretty fair apples to apples, I think.  
     

    We’re also looking at different eras… the world changed a LOT from peak Elvis to peak Beatles to peak Michael (who I would say peaked with MTV airing “Thriller” every hour).

    How do those numbers translate to "It's Elvis" ?

    Terry doesn't teach rebounding, defense, or make adjustments. He has a 40% hit rate out of the portal and loves the scrubs from low D1 teams. He gets his ass kicked by Scott Drew. I understand we aren't just going to fire him right away, but this is what I expected when we hired him, and I don't see that changing. We just aren't fundamentally sound. 

    That effort when Disu went down was embarrassing. I'm not going to blame free throw disparity when I have seen the Big 12 refs do it to us over and over. Great teams play defense, make adjustments, something. We aren't going anywhere without Disu, but could we at least try? 

    You are fucking pathetic.

    Last cold day and night of winter today?

    I doubt it.

    It can still get cold in March and I hope we get one more good freeze to help control the bug population.

  11. No pics but I made some pulled porkl sandwiches yesterday using an interesting recipe.

    Salt and pepper 2LBS pork loin and place in the crock.

    Pour a 12 OZ root beer over them and cook on low for 7 hours.

    Drain and shred pork.

    Add a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays Honey Hickory sauce and simmer for a bit.

    Ate them on Hawaiian Buns with cole slaw.

    Turned out great.

    Paul McCartney in Nashville, 1974. He lived there for three months.

    Funny thing is that The Beatles could have also been the greatest country band history.
