Investment Opportunity - Surly Tech
From observation of related "services," there's plenty of customers out there, that aren't hard to reach, but many of them are flakey as fuck and fly-by-nite. It's like having a rental property with a low investment. The tenants make all the difference. A good one is great, the rest not so much. At least they can't fuck up your Rackspace.

RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
That's bizarre. Haven't been paying much attention, but does K-C have consumer meds? ETA: Answer seems to be no.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Well, it is kind of hard to plan an offense on plays your QB has previously showed a marked tendency not to make. That's kind of what we're bitching about in the first place.

Investment Opportunity - Surly Tech
Having represented SoftLayer/Rackspace, it's a definite moneymaker. But yeah, getting and keeping customers seems to be kind of the devil in the details. Also, papering up the investments and the customer agreements is tricky too, or can be on a volume basis.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
The Sark disconnect has become pretty clear. His talent is unable to run his preferred schemes with consistency. It's been his bugbear since he got here to a greater or lesser degrees. The talent drop-off (or different skill set if you prefer) this year has slapped him in the face with that reality in a way the previous couple of years did not. And seems to have forced some adjustments that we haven't really seen before in the OU game plan and Vanderbilt. The question then becomes: Is he too stubborn to see what's in front of his face in practice and game situations Is he being deceived by assistant coaches as to the actual capability of talent Is he so distracted by personal matters, the duties of a HC, or some combination that it permits him to maintain his illusions Or some combination of the three. That he has adapted a couple of times indicates perhaps that he's not so stubborn. Curiously, he has adapted against our more highly ranked opponents and reverted to tendency against lesser opponents, which shows some degree of inflexibility or stubbornness: he thinks we should be able to run his preferred schemes against SEC cellar dwellers, but also "admits" that we can't against top 10 opponents. I'm not sure hiring an OC solves any of this except perhaps distraction, if it frees him to pay better attention to other things. It might help, too, if that coach is unflinchingly honest with him about what the talent can and can't reliably do. But that can be addressed with assistants other than the OC.

Small Claims Court - Advice Megathread
Too late to edit. Saw "large corporation." So they have no exemptions and a constable ought to be able to go seize some shit worth the amount of your judgment, pretty easily. One problem you may run into, though, is most corporations have multiple subsidiaries and whatnot and so finding assets actually owned by the corporation you have a judgment against might be a challenge. However, once you send a constable out on a writ of execution, the people present may not have the snap to assert that everything on site is owned by X Corp Assets, LLC instead of X Corp. They will probably call the legal department, who will probably call you and arrange a settlement, post-haste.

Bio info is slim, but her father is supposedly Armenian and served in the Korean War before college. She's 26. Very fishy.

Week 9 - Vandy at Texas.
As has been noted here often, Mack could sell ice to eskimos. He's very personable. When we won in 2005/6, I got a little teary watching him and thought "one of the good guys finally won something." I could forgive all of his foibles up until the end. At the end, he showed himself to be a far less "great person" than I had previously believed. That was a bummer and still is.

Small Claims Court - Advice Megathread
What kind of defendant? Natural person or entity? In either case, one thing you can do is issue a writ of execution. In that, a constable goes to the residence or place of business and seizes non-exempt property to satisfy the judgment. If a person, they have exemptions that a constable is unlikely to "pierce" except in a really obvious case. Businesses have no exemptions. If you happen to know where their bank is, you can do a writ of garnishment, and if there are sufficient funds, that is one of the swiftest and surest ways of getting paid.

Well, tbh, if you pick an argument with five different posters, odds are good that three of em are lawdogs.- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
I suppose the end-zone DPI wasn't called because the official whose first-line call it was called it a TD. But others should have tossed the flag.- Nancy Mace: Sexual assault survivor or cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?
All other things about Nancy Mace aside, she is a Senator from South fucking Carolina. The MAGA cult has produced entirely too many political celebrities. Silver Spurs and Texas Cowboys should have no idea who she is and should be most unimpressed by anything about her./seen hotter on campus More evidence that it is, in fact, a cult.- Apple CarPlay adapter - Lighting to USB C adapter
Just make it simple. I'm sure the car has a USB-A receptacle, the rectangle, so you just need a USB-A to USB-C. If you want to get kinky, I guess you can find a Y cable with USB-C and Lightning.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal

Ben Wittes on the posture of the criminal case. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-situation--james-comey-is-just-asking-questions Yes, Wittes is butt-buddies with Comey, but it's a solid explainer.

In the final analysis, it was just a 2-pointer, not a touchdown. So BFD.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
What's funny is on the first sideline pass to Wingo, duplicating last week, Arch actually led him and he had to take a step forward to catch it. I think Wingo was surprised. I have to confess that I thought it was the usual Arch just a little off with his passes, this time the error being a "positive" one. But no, Arch and the WR were more consistently "in rhythm" all game. - Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
