  1. He didn’t lead shit. He did exactly what Daddy Abbott told him to do.
  2. Yep. Both Fenves and Hartzell will have served as president at UT for 5 years before bolting for a job at a private equity university.
  3. Who the fuck doesn’t like natural gas heat?
  4. Two university presidents in a row to serve for five years and then take a job at a much smaller private university.
  5. Saying Medicare Advantage plans have nothing to do with the government is a highly misleading statement. They are funded by the government and overseen by CMS. There’s a lot of government involvement in those plans. Otherwise, yes, I agree that Advantage plans are a scam to funnel money from public good to private enterprise and shareholders. My parents are on traditional Medicare and my in-laws have a Medicare Advantage plan and the experiences between the two when it comes to access and quality of care could not be more different.
  6. Since when were the roots of Facebook giving people a voice? I think Zuck forgot what he originally created it for.
  7. He doesn’t have both hands full when she went in for the handshake. The wife is holding the Bible at that point.
  8. Blue Bell can die (melt?) in a fire. Creamy Creations is where it’s at.
  9. Thanks for sharing. For shits and giggles, I plugged in an x-ray that I had done at one of Houston Mehodist’s imaging centers last year. Their charge for a 3 view x-ray was $1,258 and, shockingly to me, my insurance allowable for that study was $1,258 and was applied to my deductible. On principle, I was not paying that much for a service that the Medicare allowable for it is $28. I ended up paying $200 to make it go away and they discounted the rest. I just plugged that same study into the link you shared and their price is $40. I also plugged in an MRI that my wife needs done and the price is $275.
  10. Agree. I’m seeing a lot of commentary on this thread from people who are out of touch with what a whole lot of working class families with kids would consider inexpensive.
  11. Strongly disagree with you there. Incentivizing people to get an annual physical and stay up to date on vaccines is one of the easiest ways to cut down on total spend. Employers should do everything they can to help people stay healthy.
  12. Yep. He’s a massive hypocrite.
  13. Cuban is such a cuck. Does he really believe there will be be antitrust enforcement in the next four years?
  14. Not really. @dril is actually clever.
  15. Are we getting 6G chips this time?
  16. Dude, grandma is supposed to be taking care of the kid. JD Vance out front should’ve told you.
  17. You’d be better off staying at home and watching on TV than doing SRO at Jerry World.
  18. My wife predicted this response about 5 minutes into the special report that interrupted her watching the AKC Dog Show on ABC.
  19. Arlington cops are real shooty. Be careful out there if you’re going to the Cotton Bowl.
  20. They had 80 days above 110 in 2024. It’s a lot more than 30-45 days and it’s only getting worse every year.
  21. Listen to this advice. It might not work if you have kids in tow, but my wife and I plan for one thing in the morning and one thing in the afternoon. We give ourselves plenty of time to enjoy coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoon. Enjoying the city and letting yourself sink into wherever you are is the best part of vacation.
  22. I had already seen him perform this material in person a few months back in Houston. It was better in person, but not his best work. He seemed nervous on the special and his delivery was off.
  23. How have I never give him a chance? I’ve listened to him on multiple occasions. Your reading comprehension is not great. I clearly stated that I feel dumber for listening to him. How could I form that opinion without listening to him? How is that political? You’re trying to make something into something it’s not. I think he’s a shitty interviewer that lobs softballs and let’s the interviewee control the direction of the interview.
