  1. Can someone put this in context for me. How many total numbers do they have.
  2. Semien with his second game of the year with multiple hits.
  3. I actually do something similar. I'll buy like a case of cheap water bottles, drink about half of each bottle and put them in the freezer. Then when we go to the pool or park or something. I fill up 3-4 bottles and throw them in my little travel cooler . I was also told that you should keep your freezer as full as possible to make it run less.
  4. Other day my wife was taking the girl to girl scouts at an outdoor picnic/playground. Drinks were her responsibility. Stopped at Target and got some Capri suns and bottled water and a small bag of Ice. stopped at home. I grabbed the cooler out of the garage and dumped what ice we had in the freezer in to the cooler while she was opening the boxes of drinks. Put it on the tailgate, when she opens it to drop the drinks inside Her "oh wow, there's ice in it already!"
  5. God, I had almost forgotten that phrase
  6. Is it 2000 forward. Or 2000+ but only stats while a Ranger?
  7. This team feel like I'm watching a Joey gallo at bats compilation
  8. It's the plate isn't it. My cooking skills are very much not on par with those of other surlyites in most of the other threads. Never really felt comfortable posting much food except in here. With that being said, I absolutely cannot stand paper plates
  9. Not to derail the thread. But I think under surly rules: you can post about dogs, food, Aggie tears, and women of the night/cleavage on any thread But long story short. Or neighbor gor evicted and abandoned the dog. After we unsuccessfully tried to get him out of their front yard, we called the city and they came and got him. While I tried to get a hold of our former neighbor. At the time, I though maybe he got away from where ever the moved and found his way home. Couldn't get a hold of said neighbor because it turns out your not allowed to have your cell phone in federal pound me in the ass prison for drug charges. Found out the shelter was going to put him down because Pitt bull. We went and got him to foster originally since we were sure how he would be around the kids His first day around the kids : Needless to say he's now part of the family
  10. Update on the rescue pit bull that our neighbors abandoned. Boy has gained about 25 lbs. He will now go full guard dog if anything comes anywhere close to out 6 yo girl. (This included her teacher apparently) Today I made a steak. I'm fairly certain he has never had a bone. like ever. He wasn't exactly sure what it was. And was briefly scared to take it out of my hand
  11. Wife and kids were out of the house tonight. Steak, shrimp and baked potato Rescue dog got bone. I'm pretty sure this is the first one he's ever had. He was very excited
  12. Where did yall get the quail? I'm kinda thinking about getting some of them
  13. Theoretically, they're supposed to developed the overall strategy. Including, when to steal, bunt, ect. Where as the hitting coach is just supposed to focus on the hitters approach to the pitchers. I would imagine, like football, the how much leeway an OC varies greatly in each organization.
  14. Not exactly. Generally, government contracts are usually on a year quote basis for typical day to say items. So if Raytheon quote $100 per drone, they can only charge that amount to the government not matter what their costs are (including tariff increases). Most likely, what the government would do is give a tariff exception to that particular set if imports that are used on the drone. Effectively, our defense industry would be exempt from any tariff increases.
  15. Wanted to highlight this as well
  16. When was that? I Used Carmax the last two times. First took about 2 hours (becuase we actually choose a different car than we reserved thanks to the salesmans suggestion.) Second time took 30 minutes. I dropped my wife off too start the paperwork while I ran a work errand. It was ready when I got back. around 45 minutes later. On both of those 2 & 3 years ago, I called around and I couldn't get a sales person to commit to what was advertised. It was always, "Come in and talk to me, I'll give you a good deal." "Oh and if you don't come in, enjoy the plethora of call backs from me, my finance person, and my sales managers. We'll give you a week before you get calls from our VP and owners."
  17. I wonder how much of that also has to do with the car sales industry. They have made it so bleak to even think about expending such a waste of time and effort. When you have places like amazon and even walmart/target/HEB making purchasing items super easy and fast. You still have most dealerships (not Carmax) still want you to spend several hours a day haggling. I know I put off buying a car for a couple of years because I absolutely dreaded the purchasing process. It literally should be. "Your Price is X online. I'm paying X plus tax. Email me to stuff for financing. I'll see if your rate is better than my bank." 30 minutes tops at the actual dealership
  18. Anyone know the story with Will Johnson?
  19. Honestly, I wouldn't have been that mad. But I will confess that I have irrationally overhated Dak for some reason
  20. A whole lotta of this. He was projected as a late 1st, probably second round....
  21. They couldn't trade back and get this guy?
