  1. Thanks, the why this is snowballing it does seem like it is going to get bad at the Tower. I am going to be annoyed if Hartzell ends up resigning over this
  2. I am just catching up on this thread but did that actually happen? I saw video of a reporter falling/being tackled but no baton beating.
  3. Still debating where to stay, have a reservation in both Ann Arbor (but on the edge of town it looks like no where near anything) and Detroit (good location). This game time actually makes driving back a little easier.
  4. I am with you, I listened to this last year and it made me want to do just that. https://www.kut.org/texasstandard/2023-01-31/austins-taco-mile-rundberg-lamar-tacos
  5. It looks like the seat selection site is live for “preview”. I can log in now and see seats available (with a countdown until I can select seats).
  6. No cell phones on the course!!! He is safe
  7. It’s just ultra cheaply made Chinese goods. These things are coming straight from the factory to you and avoiding import taxes (by direct shipping). The quality is going to be low but at those prices most people don’t care/accept that as part of the cost.
  8. I am so confused by this story. It seems like clear bullying according to the article. What are the missing details that “members of the football team” argued?
  9. Yep - email just came out, time slot next Wednesday.
  10. That was one of the coolest things i have ever seen, we got a break in the clouds right at the right time.
  11. High! Hoping for this. We can see the sun through the clouds now in patches. Hopefully we catch a break.
  12. Out at Lake LBJ, its pretty cloudy but the sun is poking through in some spots…. I am yelling at clouds
  13. I just requested the OU and Michigan tickets, I think I will get the A&M ones to sell to friends or something because i am not going to that shithole.
  14. That’s interesting. It starts with devices produced in 2025, I think the only parts Apple does that today are displays on iPhones right? I wonder why they did carve outs for things like HVAC systems, video game systems and electric toothbrushes.
  15. You know with between this, the super hero/villain mask and the solar eclipse….I feel an origin story coming together.
  16. I recognize it from Ben Thompson’s newsletter this week. Here is the whole article if you want to dig deeper he finds things troubling for both Apple and the DOJ. It should be noted he is a tech writer not a legal writer so it is from that perspective. https://stratechery.com/2024/united-states-v-apple/
  17. But thats just not true, you can download any of the other messaging apps. Apple is not preventing you from using something other than iMessage to handle texts. (Nor is it even what the DOJ is accusing them of).

    Germany will legalize starting in April. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/germany-marijuana-legalization-law-will-take-effect-on-schedule-next-month-after-lawmakers-decline-to-delay-implementation/
  19. Haha - you even knew that they had announced RCS support.
  20. Are you saying you cannot have those apps on a iPhone? All of those app’s are in the App Store. I use WhatsApp frequently on my iPhone.
  21. Is Apple even a monopoly? They have what 65% of the smartphone market? The lawsuit doesn’t even go after the App Store which is the biggest thing people complain about. In the EPIC case a US federal judge already ruled Apple was not engaging in anti-trade practices. https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/16/24039983/supreme-court-epic-apple-antitrust-case-rejected Why are we even talking about RCS, didn’t they already agree to adopt RCS this year? https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/16/23964171/apple-iphone-rcs-support Here is an article that goes into more detail about why this lawsuit is not going to amount to a ton. https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/22/doj-lawsuit-against-apple-is-headline-grabber-with-limited-near-term-impact/ https://sixcolors.com/post/2024/03/u-s-versus-apple-a-first-reaction/ https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/03/21/apple-will-crush-the-doj-in-court-if-garland-sticks-with-outdated-arguments
  22. The technology part of all this is pretty cool. Hope it goes well. Wife started Chemo today, we did do a PET scan right before chemo to make sure their is nothing else (after the Bone and CT scan) and it saw one little enraged lymph node and a couple small nodules in in gut. Nothing to stop the current plan, just stuff to watch. Which was a good update at last.
  23. No, but i just looked and the last couple years it came around the first couple weeks of April.
