    I thought 8 would be tough too but we went to one and game is over by 1015 latest and you can be in car and out within 30 minutes of final whistle. Think about the pain in ass of getting in and out of UT football games but the exact opposite. It’s the best part about the live games. I recommend buying parking ahead of time through Pavemint but you don’t have to.

    And Bale and Chiallini……. Would not be stunned if it’s the most expensive ticket since opening day last year.
  3. I presume gerrymandering is the main reason Dems likely can't win the house. Otherwise, I do not fully understand how so many districts would have flipped in the last 2 years. It's not like the GOP is putting up more palatable candidates to the moderates.
  4. So even before the press release there was clearly going to be a sequel. Whoever the boss of the main CIA guy and gal is kept getting mentioned, but they didn't show him. Also, I presume the "asset" was more than just a mcguffin given it actually showed some of the video. In any event good movie that simultaneously was 15 minutes too long and ended abruptly.
  5. This is where my initial line of questioning was going. First, while I will not fault anyone for leaving Texas because of its legislation, that is exactly their aim. And the more states that do this successfully, the more the minority rules federally. Josh "Zippy" Hawley said as much. But that is being addressed on threads across this board. Back on topic.... if Elon Musk, for example, has his Texas tax paradise ruined by zealots such that he can't hire the talent he needs to surround him, I think he might launch a few bombs. More extreme, if Robert Smith is told that his marriage is illegal, he's not going to lift Vista out of Austin. I presume he'll work to get ahead of all of that. Whither Peter Thiel in all of this, frankly. 8VC and Mithril both have most of their presence in Austin these days. So he has a bunch of money tied up in talent down here. Longwinded way of saying I could see an internecine capitalist war potentially coming to Texas. I'll be curious what side of the scale Big Oil puts its thumb on.
  6. I presume that is the real reason Bezos is piloting his drones there. Pre-culling surveillance.
  7. Sad to hear. That said, this guy was 1A on people I presumed were already dead. I think I’ve been surprised at least twice in my life when I found out he was still alive.
  8. Read “Why We Did It”. These people aren’t ever abandoning Trump if the polls say not to. It’s the only way to stay in the game and it’s team over country. Honestly, if Dotard dies, they will double check whether they need to ride DTJ or Ivanka in 2024 if that’s where the “crocs, deplorables, and carnies” are voting.
  9. Fair. Probably a bit naive on my part. I’m not an Elon fan, but he’s enough of a troll to go after/compete with these guys presuming TWTR ends up being just a flesh wound.
  10. At what point do these guys' wants and needs start running afoul of the multinationals in Houston or the Joe Lonsdales and Elon Musks of the world and other PE/VC money coming to Texas (Vista, etc.)? The playbook is there to spend a modicum amount of money on local races to get a desired result.
  11. What was Stubbs doing for 23 years?
  12. Watched it. It’s great. Juston Street’s Jay character is what I imagine Trevor Bauer was like at UCLA.
  13. Halfway through this episode: Both probably shown right or wrong by end of episode. Either way, they owe Matrix royalties.

    I wonder if there is some better back line management with Stuver in there as well that prevents at least the second and fourth goal. Frustrating. The new guy showed something though. Want to see more of him. And can we play Kolmanic and Gallagher together at outside back? Is Valencia still hurt or is he not good?

    Well we either get one or two back or turn this into a tennis set with this current 11

    Felipe is going to break a single game record for waiting for a pass and having it taken from him.

    I think we also know that Felipe’s only value is as a shit stirring sub when we are up.

    This GK is blowing it. If he fucks up again pull him because he’s shook
  19. Wow. A quick google search shows that this isn’t just some random team. Oldest and historically most successful Welsh team (although certainly not now), oldest stadium still hosting international soccer, third oldest club in world. Should be fun.

    Let’s be more realistic. Eden Hazard is unhappy. https://www.espn.com/soccer/real-madrid-espreal_madrid/story/4705074/real-madrids-eden-hazard-talks-to-espn-about-overcoming-injurieshis-future-and-benzema-for-ballon-dor Put him where we are playing Ring and move Ring back where he belongs. One can dream! What about the biter?
  21. The calculus here is what amount of damages will Twitter’s board get comfortable will make its stockholders happy. It’s not the breakup fee. It’s probably delta between purchase price and current Twitter value. But that’s probably still too rich for Elon to agree to. Elon really fucked himself by breaching the agreement. I think a judge (where they don’t typically like to enforce specific performance, but will) would like to just say there is a pre-agreed reverse breakup fee and make this go away, under presumption debt won’t come through given all the drama. I imagine there is language in agreement that says the RBUF doesn’t eliminate ability to get specific performance but courts will try to find a way to avoid SP if they can. But Elon is clearly in breach, and in breach in a way that arguably affected TWTR value. He is going to lose.
  22. - I still don’t know why the US gov’t is running circles to try to appease Hamzad. Still makes no sense. - How does Fisher wind up with the Bote assassins?

    Did we unload Dominguez? Let’s get a DP in.
  24. I was thinking “casual Chanel goosesteppers, Summer collection.”
