  1. I see this thread and click on it hoping that there was an announcement that Trump was indicted in Georgia.  Instead I get multiple pages of Chewbacca and Twice engaging in the world's saddest circle jerk.  Great job, guys.  You outdid yourselves.

    A double header today would be cool:

     

    Dropping both indictments at the same time so that you split up the crazies would be a good idea.  And also, fuck Trump.

    What in god's name is he talking about. This is winning?

    I'm guessing another one of his attorneys has been informed that they broke the law.

    They tried. It's not terrible, and it's certainly better than TLJ. It's just very mediocre/forgettable. 

    The sequel trilogy will age horribly. Much worse than the prequels. 

    The prequel trilogy were good stories with bad execution.  The sequel trilogy were horrible stories with mediocre to good execution.  I can sit through the prequels with the understanding that I'll see some stupid shit in there and have to sit through Anakin and Padme's complete lack of chemistry.  Watching the sequels just makes me angry.

    With Abbott pulling troopers to police the border and the streets of Austin, what's happening in rural Texas where policing is needed?

    Maybe ask someone in Uvalde.

  6. How did OLC price their ECBP pick? Deb’s was around a $100.
    Spec’s 2022 pick was priced ar $90 and 8 years old.  It was excellent. 
    Roma’s 2022 pick was also around $90, almost 11 years old, and a banger at 139+ proof. But he made buy like 3-4 other picks for access. It was fine, they were all pretty good. 
    It sounds like ECBP picks are relatively easy to find in Austin. Different ballgame in Houston. People camp out overnight for Longhorn’s picks. I tried to nab one last year and they were out before I walked up to the line. They had 12, twelve bottles at the Katy location. 
     
    Meanwhile, if you play the Facebook game well, you can find ECBPSiB for right at $60. They release it 3 times a year so it can be done. Or if you don’t want to hunt, go online and buy it for leas than $100. 
    IIRC, it was around 80 for OLC's pick.
  7. The great thing about bourbon is that you don't need to have some holy grail to have something you love.  I'm sipping on an ECPBBS that I found on the shelf at OLC and it's fucking fantastic.  EC hits my palate just right and a higher age statement barrel strength version is exactly what I'm looking for in a bourbon.  Don't get too caught up in the FOMO of BTAC and other impossible to find bourbons and try to just enjoy what you enjoy.

    It shouldn't be a 6% across the board.  A kid that is top 10 or 20% from Westlake or Highland Park is going to be much more prepared for college than a kid in the top 5% of Iraan or Vidor.  

    You're pointing out the whole reason for the top 10% law.  The top 5% kid from Vidor and a whole host of other areas of the state wouldn't get into UT without the top 10% law, so legislators from those districts passed to law to ensure that the kids of their constituents could get admission to UT.  It acts to diversify the student body by ensuring equal admissions from across the state and allowing legislators from poor performing areas to tell their constituents that they are providing access to UT for their kids.  And hopefully the kids who gain admission to UT from the low performing areas go back to those areas and raise the bar so that we see actual societal benefits from the law.

    is there even a legacy component to UT admissions? you have to figure that somewhere in the admissions bureaucracy there is a detailed specification on how to admit students using certain criteria.  just curious if 'legacy' is part of that or is it more like the part where admissions checks to see if any buildings are named after the applicant's progenitors before making a final decision.  

     

     

    Texas public universities are not allowed to consider legacy status in admissions decisions.  This is a private school/non-Texas issue.

  10. For lynels you just need a good weapon and to be good at dodging.  I've been farming them to upgrade the barbarian armor and just need two more white lynel horns to finish it off.  For gleeoks, a double spring or rocket shield plus aerocuda eyes is pretty much a must to take it down once it gets to a quarter life and flies high.  Get as high as you can and shoot off a bunch of aerocuda arrows in its direction.  Land three and it should fall and die from the fall.
