  1. I live in a small town and nearly every one I know and interact with have used it or are currently using it.  You can certainly tell the difference at the little league games...

    I actually was on it for about 2 months and lost 15 pounds and stopped taking it.  Didn't really need to lose much weight, but the weight I was was losing felt like muscle mass so I quit taking it.  Also it's supposed to reduce cravings, including alcohol cravings, but for me that didn't work very well.  Very easy to get, just a phone consultation and then a zoom meeting and then the shit showed up on my doorstep about a week later.

    So he has childhood trauma and he takes it out on The University of Texas instead of going to see a therapist? As if UT forced his parents to divorce?

    After moving from Houston to Austin... every time I come back I'm overwhelmed by the scale and madness of Houston's freeways.  Not to mention Houston excels at red light running and blocking someone from merging into a lane even with a blinker on.

    The problem is using your blinker.  In the 18 months I lived in Houston, I realized if you want to change lanes without someone speeding up to cut you off, it’s essential to not use your blinker.

    Is Sugars still around? I worked at Pappasito's across the freeway from there for a few years. Sito's remains my favorite job of all-time. Part of the reason? All of the hot coworkers attending Texas, Texas State, ACC, and the like.

    A byproduct of the Sugars being nearby is that some of them would occasionally realize that their tips at Sito's weren't going to pay the rent, and then they're suddenly "cocktailing" some of the time at Sugars. On more than one occasion, we'd go over there on a scouting mission only to discover, shockingly, that "cocktailing at Sugars" apparently involved getting naked and doing lap dances. Certainly brought down some barriers when it came to getting to know them better, I know that. Ahhhhh, good times. 

    I worked there for a year, still my favorite job I’ve ever had.  Having a call bar when your staff is made up of college students was probably not the best decision by Chris and Harris

    I think the theories have run their course and were useful for the shock stage of grief - you know when it’s so shocking you actually laugh instead of cry - and now we settle in for the long haul. Beard’s gone. Bet he’s asked to explain himself, I bet he declines on advice of counsel and he’s fired by Friday. While we are focused on his job his lawyer is telling him to focus on his freedom and liberty. It’s time to put his name out of our minds and focus on someone else. A year from now we will find out if he’s a prisoner or just a chump but his up side is chump not champion. 

    This is spot on.  I have a friend who was charged with assault with many extenuating circumstances.  His employer asked for his side of the story, he declined on advice of his attorney, he was fired two days later and 3 years later all charges were dropped.  He moved on, so did his employer.  The justice system moves slow, employers can't afford to wait it out and give employees the benefit of the doubt only to have egg on their face at a later date.

  6. I have no dog in this hunt, I don't use Twitter, never have and never will, but my hot sports opinion is that this thread will die a slow death like the vax thread in about 6 months.  All of the I'm leaving Twitter people (coincidentally the same as the get your vax or die people) will still be on Twitter.  If it turns into a profitable business and doesn't become an "alt-right, racist, xenophobic, islamophobic, insert-your-phobic" medium, all of the shit spewing will slowly dwindle away as there will be another topic of outrage to bicker and bitch about.

    I wonder what could be different now vs. when I was a kid.

    Umm it’s approximately 2 degrees hotter than it was 150 years ago.  Really it’s just we are all pussies now with echo chambers to reinforce our pussiness

    Sorry but I am not buying a round in 2 hours bullshit.

    That means you are playing each hole at a 7 minute average without waiting for another group on any hole and that does not include the driving time between holes.

    No way.

     

    Two weeks ago, I played our local course in 1 hour and 45 minutes.  I was one of three groups on the course when I tee'd off on Sunday afternoon at 3 PM.  I was back in my truck at 4:45 headed home.  Shot an 82 and never broke a sweat in 100 heat.

  9. It really is sickening to find out such a horrible situation already is being made worse by the thoughts of “what if the cops did what they were supposed to do?”  They probably don’t save them all but 1 innocent child’s life (or teacher for that matter) would’ve made it worth it.  So you, as a cop, die in the process, you die a true hero and people celebrate your life as they should.  I have a hard time believing I couldn’t koolaid man my way through a fucking wall if there was an asshole murdering my kid or his friends on the other side.

  10. Nearly all omicron cases are relatively mild, so claiming the vaccine helps with this is just another way to justify your decision to get vaccinated after you realized the government has been lying to you and moving the goalposts this whole time.  My .02 as an omicron survivor who wouldn’t even had known I had it if I wouldn’t have tested positive after a trip to CO where everyone I was with caught it.  Neg bomb away….

  11. There are definitely infrastructure and refining issues with being truly energy independent.  Here is what I don't understand.  We have the answer to all of this in our back yard.  It's not oil long term.  It's not electric vehicles, solar or wind in the short term.  There is a transitional energy that I thought was going to be a larger player when EOM bought XTO.  It's natural gas.  Sure, we don't have filling stations for vehicles, but most city buses run on natural gas or a derivative.  The cost to transition vehicles to run on natural gas is relatively low.  It is cheap, clean and affordable.  But like everything else in society and politics, each side decides to take a stance on either the far right or the far left (oil vs. electric), and fucking ignores the middle ground easier solution, thus fucking the middle and lower class.  Oil is dirty and spills are a true environmental disaster (I'm in the OG industry).  Electric vehicles require raping land to get to the required minerals to build batteries.  Natural gas is the solution.

    I ask this, while risking being negged into oblivion.  I am a parent of 3 boys 12 and under.  They are not vaccinated (wife and I are, as are all adults in extended family).

    While the timing of the approval of vaccinations for children are a few months behind adults, they seem to follow the same path.  And you can kind of see where this is going.

    Adults 16+ approved for 2 shots.  12-15 approved for two shots.  5-12 approved for 2 shots.  Now 0-5 is about to be approved.  Boosters recommended for vulnerable adults, Then boosters recommended for all adults.  Now children 12-15 are approved for boosters.  I feel comfortable saying 5-12 then 0-5 will be as well.

    Then you see boosters only last 10 weeks.  Israel just approved 4th shot for vulnerable.  I have to imagine that will happen here before to long.  Then work its way down the age groups.

    Then you read concerns that so many shots in a short period of time could actually weaken immunity.  That it could cause an immune system fatigue.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/23/world/middleeast/israel-vaccine-4th-dose.html

    And its not just that one article.  Statistically my 9 year is not at risk at all.  For example, we tested all the kids for antibodies and he was positive (timing would've been delta).  We honestly have no idea when that might have happened, so he clearly had little trouble with it. 

    For a kid like him, is he better off getting what could be 10, 15, 20 shots by the time he's 20 years old when he finally reaches an age where there's a sliver of risk of Covid - or - likely getting asymptomatic or mild Covid a few times (call it once a year) by the time he's 20?  Which approach gives him a better immune system heading into adult life?  

    I'm far from anti-vax.  I'm not against it for my kids.  I understand the community sacrifice aspect, but I also approach that differently as an individual vs as a parent.  

    If the answer to the question "what is best for my child's body long term?" is "we don't know yet", I have a hard time with that when the statu quo is almost zero risk to my child.

    Go with your gut, not what anyone on this board recommends.  You’re the father of your children, none of these assholes are

  13. In Denver at the moment, drove in from aspen today, flying out tomorrow.  Wind was ripping coming out of silver Thorne all the way to Denver.  It’s died down quite a bit, hopefully will help them get it under control.

    Mark and Jack? This isn’t Highlights magazine man.  If you need things broken down on that level I suggest Texags.  I should add, if you think vaccinated vs unvaccinated is a political thing, you are the problem.  

    Definitely do not think that.  You wouldn’t know though because my posts were deleted.  I was simply calling out the guy saying that more republicans have died than democrats since the vaccine rollout. It’s a virus, it doesn’t give a shit about who You voted for
