    Life insurance is pretty cut and dry.  As long as you pay the premium, if you die more than 2 years after the policy was put in place it pays out.

    There are a few qualifiers like you can't be committing a crime on most term policies.  Pretty sure if it was proven you paid someone to shoot you the insurance company wouldn't pay out.

    Wanna know what the horrible punchline to this thread is?  The one that nobody wants to admit?

    She's proving to be at least a competent council member and politician.  Her tenure hasn't been a colossal trainwreck, which is shocking enough.  That it's been at worst "middling" is amazing.

    People can surprise you.

    On the one hand I agree with you.  The other side of the coin is that perhaps she's shown just how easy it is to be a functioning member of the city council.

  3. I sent my mid 60s mom the info about the TX CARES survey.  She got her first draw yesterday, had Pfizer, and 2nd shot was mid-Feb.  She's at 288 for spike antibodies and no prior infection.  I told her to go find a 3rd dose of Moderna in the next week or 2.  Really wish the the powers that be would get off their ass.

  4. I didn't stay in a holiday inn last night, but if 3.5% of the kids currently have covid, there are no remote learning options, and the community is staunchly against masks, I don't see any way this is the peak.

    IMO there's no way the student body in a K-12 school is close to herd immunity with those conditions.  Hope for your sake I'm wrong, and none of the kids become one of the really bad statistics.

    My first MLS game in-person was in Seattle 2 years ago. They're still kicking ass. There's some good teams in this league, then on the other end of the table, there's us. 

    Well, MLS has a pretty good model of how to do expansion teams that are going to be reasonably successful.  Take an established USL team that is decent, add a bit more money and a few designated players, and make sure it's in a soccer hungry market.  See Seattle et. al.

    All of the newly created expansion teams haven't done well.  Add in a rookie head coach, and a front office that really hasn't done us any favors with the players they've chosen to bring in, and it's not surprising we're struggling.

    Honestly I thought last night was Wolfe's best in game decisions (not that it's saying much), yanking Cecilio early was a big call that obviously was the right move.  Our guys look tired, and I hope he decides to modify his system.  I know the 3-5-2 is the flavor of the times, but asking one of our 3 best mids in Ring to drop into defense so that our slow wingbacks can be rather ineffective and provide width just isn't working, they keep recycling possession rather than crossing the ball or attacking via the dribble.  At this point I think we'd be better off just playing a 4 man backline and actually asking our attacking mids to provide width in the attack as a general rule.  And for god's sake can we stop asking Fagundez to play on the outside of a 3 man front?  His late runs in the attacking 3rd are his best offensive attribute.

  6. Going to be a tough argument he had no knowledge of lying on the warrant imo.  Weren't there drop guns and drugs found?

    "Hey Goines, since we're sitting behind the trunk of the car talking about the particulars of this raid, you want to explain why there's a key of cocaine in your trunk next to the m4?"

    Maybe this guy was actually the new kid not into the same shit as the rest of Goines and crew, but I find it more likely he was cut from the same cloth as the rest of the guys there.  Otherwise there would be a chance once the evidence was planted he'd say something.

    He’s going nowhere, don’t foul

    Still going nowhere, he’s got nothing, don’t foul

    Still nothing

    God damn it

    To be fair, he only had to cover that guy because Lima was out of position and couldn’t make the recovery run. 

  8. Thats a lot of words, but I agree.  If we aren't practicing on unmown turf before some of these games our coaching staff is doing us a huge disservice, moving the ball is completely different on shitty fields.  We can't practice on a muddy, uneven field for player safety reasons but there's no reason not to have long slow grass for a training session or 2.
