    I obviously wasnt clear in my post.  I actually understand the purpose of bail is designed to ensure the arrested have a reason to make an appearance in court at the proper time.  In my opinion, only putting up $5k gives the fuck a much better chance of making a run for it. 

    I wasnt pissed at a $50k bail anywhere near as much as it being allowed to have a bond vs actual allocated funds.  I honestly believe it should have been set at $500k to ensure whoever posted the bond has a strong financial incentive to make damn sure the asshole shows up to court everytday.

    I realize that $5k is probably a shitload of money to a 21YO, and probably their family... but thats just low enough that a family could bail him out, help him just enough where he can make a run out of state/ border and try and get away.   This guy lived in Mexico for 12 years before being caught as an example 

    You went from $50k bond in the OP, then to $50K bail in this post and then to $5K bond?

    The Athletic --> "Texas A&M had national title hopes, a $94.9 million coach and a No. 1 recruiting class. What went wrong?"

     

    Jimbo hates tempo offenses:
     

    'When that time finally arrived Oct. 29 vs. Ole Miss, Weigman dazzled, leading consecutive touchdown drives to open the game.

    But A&M went scoreless in the second and third quarters before Weigman triggered a 14-point rally in the fourth. The common denominator in those scoring spurts? The Aggies pushed the offensive tempo, something Weigman did a lot of at Bridgeland High.

    Weigman succeeded in hurry-up looks in A&M’s season-ending win over LSU also, raising questions as to why the Aggies didn’t do it more often.

    Fisher bristled at the suggestion.

    “We’re so caught up in tempo,” he said. “Name me a tempo team that’s won the national championship. … There ain’t one. Tempo ain’t won a national championship, all right?

    “So teams line up and play good football. You can run tempo and you can have parts of it and use tempo off and on. But pure tempo teams haven’t won one.”'

    "Coach Fisher says it all the time, he wants to play fast," FSU left tackle Cameron Erving said. "He wants to get a lot of snaps a game on offense. As an o-line, we try to make it happen.

    "We want to get a lot of snaps on offense and keep our defense off the field as much as possible. But at the same time, we're not Oregon. … We do something, they do something different. But that's definitely in the right area. We want to be up there on the same level, at a certain speed as those teams."

    Tech seems to have a better handle on its management of the NIL than a lot of other places.

    That's not NIL, that's money from the school... I think some schools pay out in a monthly stipend?

     

     

  4. You know though, if it was just somewhat downhill or could be laid out/propped up with any kind of downhill slope and not in the way of the contractors - a 100 or 150 feet of 4 inch sewer pipe across the top of the ground for a season wouldn't be that big of a deal during construction. Would be better than having to use a honey pot at all.

    I am taking all bets up to $1000 per person that CU will not be bowl eligible in 2023. I will give you up to Friday, September 1, 2023 to let me know. Just @ me on this thread, thanks.

    Maybe we can trade you Card for Cade straight up. Works out for both schools, you can give Ewers a year to learn to lead under Cade, and Michigan gets a really solid backup that wasn't a 3* 1000+ rated recruit that they took a flier on when their top 100 guy had to medically retire. 

    OK, OK... But I'm willing to offer a Spencer Sanders AND a Gunnar Gundy!

    Sears was first knocked to the ground by Wal-Mart, and then was knocked out of the ring by Amazon.

    It's always hindsight but too many big brands refuse to adapt because they see the adaption as hurting their traditional brand. Then you're Sears with only a handful (15?) full-sized stores left.

    What's funny about this is Sears was the Amazon of the late 19th/early 20th century.

    Quote

     

    Before the Sears catalog, farmers near small rural towns usually purchased supplies, often at high prices and on credit, from local general stores with narrow selections of goods. Prices were negotiated and relied on the storekeeper's estimate of a customer's creditworthiness. Sears built an opposite business model by offering in their catalogs a larger selection of products at published prices.

    By 1894, the Sears catalog had grown to 322 pages, including many new items, such as sewing machines, bicycles, sporting goods and automobiles (later produced, from 1905 to 1915, by Lincoln Motor Car Works of Chicago [no relation to the current Ford line]).[14] By 1895, the company was producing a 532-page catalog. Sales were over $400,000 ($12 million in 2021 dollars) in 1893 and over $750,000 ($20 million in 2021 dollars) two years later.[15] By 1896, dolls, stoves, and groceries were added to the catalog.

     

     

    Rosenwald brought to the mail-order firm a rational management philosophy and diversified product lines: dry goods, consumer durables, drugs, hardware, furniture, and nearly anything else a farm household could desire.

    Sales continued to proliferate, and the prosperity of the company and their vision for more significant expansion led Sears and Rosenwald to take the company public in 1906, with a stock placement of $40 million ($1.2 billion today).

    This will be primarily for weekends. I just need a shower and a TV and a comfortable bed. How is cooking in one of those?

    And resale is a big part of what is pushing me in this direction.

    The ovens are crappy to bake in, heat unevenly but it helps to use a pizza stone or something like a terra cotta tile in the bottom of the oven. You're going to burn the shit of biscuits until you get it worked out. Other then that its OK IMO, just smaller. You have to stay really organized. I think you'd find yourself cooking outside a lot on the grill or Blackstone.

    The nice thing is having your place. Familiar bed and all that. Weekends should be easy to handle. My limit is about 5 days but I also have 3 daughters that can only handle so much of each other in a day...

    Didn't even think about sewer cleanout.  Unfortunately our septic tank is on a part of the property that is inaccessible to an RV.  Furk.  Might have to just go the summer-only route and find somewhere nearby I can dump the sewer. 

    After a couple rum and cokes and trying try to be as eloquent as possible -  Really to be honest, I don't think buying an RV in lieu of other arrangements is the best way to save money. They are really meant for recreation and to stay in one and be honestly comfortable you have to really want to be there. My wife really loves taking our camper out and I like the trips because it's like having the lake cabin I can't afford and the family time aspect with my kids before they grow up.... Yes we've used our trailer a bunch instead of using hotels but we are not anywhere close justifying the cost of the camper vs renting something. 

    Anyway, if it were me - and I had the means (or credit) - as a business decision - I'd buy another property instead of a camper. Then when your place is done you'd probably get a better return. I'd just call it an investment property and put the >$80K you'd spend on the airstream down and then VRBO it or sell it next year. 

     

    TLDR: Buying a camper to save money is a bad idea (drunk me)
