  1. I was using estimated round numbers. What is it now, 130-150? Talking 4 year undergrad at UT, with normal roommate apt type situation. eta: when I started the 529 for my oldest, they told us to shoot for 120k or so and then focus other places. She’s 11. Of course now there’s 3 contributions.
  2. Lulz. I’d take any of these migrants who actually like the US over home born Democratic voters. Not even think twice.
  3. Only people who really care are the ones with Austin or College Station on theirs, in my experience. But you’re right, if you are a hammer, it won’t matter (as much).
  4. I agree, I’m not sure there is an answer. Many people (and some on this board) have turned down free rides at UT-D, that’s pretty well respected, to pay 100k+ to attend at Austin. As long as the delta is that severe, you’ll have that happen. If it was my kids it’d be a no brainer - Austin.
  5. This was Quepos, at least this trip. Boat was Double Nickel, it appears (could only see Double … in the pics).
  6. Best enchiladas is El Chaparral imo. Unfortunately the OG out in Helotes is considerably better than the offshoots that are more conveniently located. Been eating there since early 80’s, and is solid af. *Have never had anything but the enchiladas and breakfast. Can’t speak to any of the other staples.
  7. We definitely need more good to great system schools. I just don’t think it ever solves the issues at UT. When you have kids that turn down legitimate better schools to stay home (and why wouldn’t they, it’s in their DNA) youll always have this problem in some sort. Even if UT found another chunk of acreage down the road and tied it in, you’d have people fighting to be in the OG. Sucks, but is what it is. The tech thing is tough. Fuck going to aggy, but they are largely considered a much better school. Fuck a bunch of eternally being looked down upon, academically of all things, by fucking aggy. That would make me want to leave a state I very much love, too. UF, Uga, where ever.
  8. I didn’t get it. I asked but think it got swallowed up in a thread. Will find out next time I see them, if I can recall
  9. This is not wrong, but I’m not sure it’s solvable. You could make UTD, UTSA, and a UTH nearly as reputable and exclusive as Austin, and people would still prefer Austin. Not even for the city. Contrary to Texags thought, there can only be one flagship. And “really, really good system school” isn’t shit if you’re able to get into the flagship.
  10. I asked them to look out for y’all’s ride. You’d know some folks from this group, having been involved (iirc) with POCO for so long.
  11. My POC offshore buddies were down there about 2 weeks ago. Crushed the sails but no Marlin this trip. Didn’t get all the details but know they had several 15-20 sail days, pretty decent days.
  12. I was a bit too young when the bug Johnson shirts were a thing. Old enough to get the jokes, not old enough to wear (lulz). But I don’t remember that many with stars and bars. It’s like every 4th BJ shirt on eBay.
  13. Bragging? About having typical benefits of a non-fast food job?
  14. Well, it was stolen so quickly, and now we’ll never know…
  15. $80 for unlimited pussy sounds pretty cheap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335168901230?hash=item4e099f906e:g:t~EAAOSwY6llfjQz&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0NBlRnUOZdWMWu2Zf7b7a1wHw6uCAJaYUCSTFDdK8DijudPUpXA5J2ffu2wEIEQerKiQpCaxU5yRLIBvwRmOKuaSOxAijB50RkmnqwqH%2B2QXMuhcgdL2Mmq0Ko3SDkbn6BiH0qn78lXiUZ7KtvrfxN6VBxARrYKkvsaRpEQv9s2Q5wYlovFWpMKXXaaitX8KwxuaSwO18uSaLrZ1S3ttFP8Z%2BwkRmObveILvrYxIS9VI57mWK1AFWmnu1HBYI2ioNForeRHOfCaRIopyYTrT6cw%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR571xoCtYw
  16. It certainly can be as disastrous as nearly any controlled substance.
  17. Even the part where I believe God is lol? Are you sure that tracks?
  18. Are you implying all “drugs” are the same, flat across the board? No nuance between a bottle of wine and fentanyl. I hope you are not an attorney.
  19. Easy. Follow the laws on the books, same answer as with drugs. If you want to move to Portland and live amongst the junks, no one is going to stop you. If you want to live in an area that cracks down on it, move there. Pretty simple, really.
  20. Not really. It had nothing to do about God loving someone vs another. Through God all things are possible may have been more apropos.
