    If by short term you mean 15+ years; I guess so.  I'm not saying I'm chasing every dollar I possibly can, actually it's the exact opposite.  Once I built up enough cushion where I didn't have to worry about month-to-month or even year-to-year stuff my happiness went up a shit ton.  I couldn't tell you how much I have in my account right now, but I know I have enough to cover whatever might pop up for a few years.  My happiness comes from being able to sleep like a baby no matter how bad the economy / job market might get.

    I'm willing to bet a lot of the "You can only be happy with autonomy, mastery and purpose" shills are those trying to justify people working until they die for the bare minimum wages possible.  We're going to pay you $10 / hour, but hey... you will have mastery and purpose.  Ain't that great?

    Gotta tell you man, if the economy goes to shit so does your savings.

    Top notch info.  Thanks!

     

    I visited Santa Cruz with a friend in high school and hung out at the boardwalk, rode the Giant Dipper, ate at Pizza My Heart, checked out Steamer's Lane, etc.  Sadly, no Tim Capelo sightings.  No vampire sightings either.

    I always thought Steamer's Lane was what South Austin's Mom called the space between her tits?

     

     

     


    For the record, I thought long and hard about posting this one, but decided fuck it, this season is miserable, maybe it's time to take things way too far.

    I thought the SEZ seats also had field level access and that's why it looks empty all the time. + the club. It was just kind of a weird thing they did with those. 

    Did you like, literally, read zero posts in the past page and a half? Who are you now TX 3 Putt?

    You're better than this, and I expect better.

    100% agree. American Christianity is a lazy, fat cat from lapping at the easy dish of cream.

    Christianity has always thrived when it was practiced in the margins in, dare I say, persecution. 

    Americans (and yours truly) would be wise to heed Isaiah 1:22, "Your silver has become dross..."

    Are you saying American Evangelicals don't believe they're being persecuted, sir?

    we could have built anything we wanted

    aggy out front using their auf payment to finance krogerpyle should have told you

    This is a stupid post. Yes, we could found other ways to finance things. You could get a fucking truck with a zero credit score if you put enough cash down and feel like paying 30%, too. Of course, that's also fucking retarded. 

    Every dollar the AD or University would have spent would have been less money for NIL, players, and/or the University.

    Can you say more about this?  The model that @MrBig posted I think looks great, even if not feasible/practical.  Today our stadium looks like someone threw it together using 4 different lego sets.

    But you know what makes people not give a shit about what the stadium looks like?  Winning.

    It was documented in the original SEZ thread. Something about ground level, another posted talked about it.

    That model MR Big has shown was never a model for the SEZ, it was a model from like 20 years ago. It was never something remotely considered for the SEZ, because, you know, the lack of suites and therefore the lack of financing.

    Yeah he was never going to open up the playbook against SJSU and UTEP for a lot of reasons and that's how most top teams operate. That's perfectly reasonable. Although now he might need to just to get Arch some easy throws for his confidence

    Arch has had about 30 easy throws this season that he's completely biff'd. There's not much else you can fucking do for the guy when he's throwing behind or below wide open receivers 5 yards past the line of scrimmage.

    the fact that sark won't call the game to his team's strength - the defense and punting is mind bottling.  the QE discussion goes to the real problem - coaching - not so much to the past. ball security, penalties, asinine fourth and go for it calls and play down to your level offensive production points to coaching. yeah Arch's head is turned backwards, but if the genius trifecta of sark, flood and milwee would punt the ball, kick the field goal, and stop the OL penalties this team as is will win at least 9 with arch wearing a paper sack over his head. it won't take much from the genius trifecta to get 10 wins. from there it's on arch, but to me it starts with the coaches.

    So what was your old handle before you got crowd sourced? Asking for the entire board.

    If you can't understand that Sark is trying desperately during these games where we're playing inferior opponents to try and get this offense back ON the rails, I don't know what to tell you. If he's doing the same dogshit against Florida, you can bitch about this, but as of now he's trying desperately to fix this shit before it's too late and what you describe is the only option.

    @Red Five

    We finally know why Sarkisian went out and got Caldwell. We were told it was related to concerns with Owens. Now I realize that the dude was watching Arch Knoblauch in practices and scrimmages and realized he needed some form of a backup plan, asap. 

    The problem is that now Sark needs to have the balls to pull Manning and play Caldwell. I'm not holding my breath.

    BBQ joint coming to the old Petrol Station? "Heights BBQ" is a pop-up run by the guy who used to be the pitmaster at Pipers BBQ on Shepherd. In the comments on a Facebook post about this, the guy confirmed that it will not be called "Heights BBQ" and is not affiliated with the Pipers/Preslee's group. 

    PS.thumb.jpg.a7a2ab23377455829fb089e3b2b4d470.jpg

    Affiliation with Preslees isn’t good

    Was that shack across from HEB on Shepherd and 24th. They closed pretty quickly, and briefly reopened as a kinda mid burger place (Piper’s Burgers) and closed in 2023. Blamed construction, but Burger Joint was superior and easier to get to and park. 

    They actually shut that down but there’s another one over by del mar stadium, off mangum. But yes those losers can get fucked. I’m 90% sure they’re a drug money laundering operation.

    Are proposing that he is just a figurative cock sucker and not a literal one?

    No. He’s a literal cocksucker. What he’s saying is he didn’t suck dick to GET drugs. He used drugs while he was cheating on his wife and marriage vows by sucking a bunch of dick and spreading his Persian ass cheeks. But you know, he’s a warrior for Christ.

    its painfully obvious we live in a very unequal society. 

    The United States of Gaslighting. 

    There are only two options

    - the right doesn't believe violent rhetoric causes violent acts

    - or they are too stupid to connect the two

    neither is good for any of us wanting equality and common sense. 

    This is not true. They believe violent rehetoric from the left causes violent acts. But not from the right.

    That’s why I said last night that it will be really interesting to see his viewing habits online. Who did he watch and on what platforms, what got him to the point where he hated Kirk enough to plan to kill him, and who might’ve known. If he’s a gaming nerd like the bullets indicate, where was he hanging out and did he show some sort of pattern. I highly doubt he’s watching CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, or OANN. Given his age, he’s not consuming traditional media. I believe so far we don’t know anything about it as he had a very low digital profile. 

    I don’t think his activity will ever be released, unless it’s legit left wing radicalization. Which seems unlikely. The only real shot we’ll have of any kind of information is if the dude talks. I’m sure his family is telling him to play Antifa as we speak.
