  1. If there ever was a DEI hire it was this guy…. Is he on the list?
  2. I new that. I just misappropriated the wurd.
  3. If one isn’t going to zero scape what is the best turf for SA? My st Augustine is having hell in the areas that get 100% direct sun AND the area getting 100% shade under oaks.
  4. Analytics have really changed the game……
  5. And tall blonde Viking chicks to boot!
  6. Considering the feds aren’t running a surplus, it’s just a matter of time before the Texas rainy day fund is consolidated with other state’s surplus or PUF type accounts into the national sovereign wealth fund that will be used for Trump’s latest grift or threat or ‘deal’ with other countries. USAID is dying and we’ll operate aide out of it with the President controlling 100% of the spigot.
  7. Doesn’t this belong in the leopards post? Non zero chance that the majority of FBI voted for trump
  8. So now every week he’ll announce tariffs Friday after the market closes and then by Monday morning he’ll save the day from the crisis he created. 8D chess.
  9. Stupid question amnesty: How can the President unilaterally levy a tax on the American public? Shouldn’t that fall under the purview of congress due to the fact that they’re the only branch with the taxing authority? i know…. I know. Question is completely moronic.
  10. I’ve been out of the oil / petrochemical game for a while but this is what I at least think I know about the subject. (Please surly Petro bosses correct what I get wrong) Canada’s main ‘crude oil’ is bitumen. Bitumen is like asphalt or tar and in Canada more or less solid. Hence tar sands. You don’t drill for it, You open pit mine it. It’s designated an extra heavy crude. Venezuela also has extra heavy crude as well. It’s pretty damn close to bitumen and at least a super close cousin to it. So in Texas there were a lot of refineries set up for Venezuelan crude. We used to be super tight with them before Chavez. So that Citgo shit came here. Then when Venezuela turned, it was about the time Canada turned in the spigot of tar sand oil. Boom! We could replace the lost oil with an analog. But without Venezuelan oil or Canadian tar sands, the need / economics of heavy crude refineries is pretty nil The stuff coming out of the eagle ford or Permian is light crude which you don’t send to a heavy crude refinery. It would require a lot of retrofitting / mods. Which probably isn’t economically feasible. Better to just send it to another refinery build for light crude and add capacity there. So if this thing really comes to pass, you’ll likely see closures in gulf coast refineries due to lack of raw material and reverberations in the supply chain as C4 monomers and product streams dry up even more than they already have (a lot more C2’s and c3’s now due to crackers coming online and the lighter feed sticks from fracking since the 2010’s) This will have a significant effect on the petrochemical industry and downstream petrochemical market IMO.
  11. And televise it….
  12. Fannie and Freddie sticks have quadrupled since the election. Damn.
  13. I couldn't stop laughing at this:
  14. I thought this hit too close the first time to actually be considered satire. Now it’s just prophetic.
  15. Why would any team celebrate being Shook?
  16. USA: DNAguy, I am in massive debt. I’ve promised folks lots of things. And I’m not making as much as I’m spending. Me: Shit. Well, what do you want to do about it? I mean, what’s your plan. USA: well, I could cut back on spending. Me: ok. Not a bad start. Like what? USA: I’m going to stop giving my kids $ for school lunch. Me: idk if that’s going to really make a difference. Could you make more $? USA: Well yeah. But no. I’m pretty sure that if I keep taking lower paying jobs then I’ll eventually find my passion and the money will REALLy start flowing. Me: yeah no. And aren’t you like the most qualified person in like every field you can make $ in? Couldn’t you make more $ really focusing there? And arent you related to a massive amount of rich people who you haven’t asked anything of in years? USA: No. My only option is the shittier pay thing. I promise you it’ll work. I just need to find cuts to hold me over. Me: You spend a fuck ton on guns. USA: I need my guns and maintaining the guns is very important Me: ok….. and your elderly parents? They can’t live on their own? Idk why I even said that. That’s cruel. USA: Now that’s an idea… but nah. They’ll never go for that. Me: I’m pretty sure you need to take the jobs you’re qualified for that make a lot of money. Then you’d be in a lot better position to decide what’s priority. Or you could just ask your rich family to give some $ to you. USA: You’re crazy.
  17. Probably?
  18. The majority of the population doesn’t think, period.
  19. Antifa Devour Babies Jeez. That Biden guy is just going to let that happen ? Better get someone else in that White House!
  20. Boras promised him X. No one has gotten to X. Boras tells him daily to stay the course and Bregman is listening to him
  21. I only regret that I have but one foreskin to lose for my country.
  22. I don’t want to sound like an asshole, but how much of the financial decisions do you guys think she makes in that household? 1.) Dad was in oil business and she moved a bunch as a kid which means… 2.) Mom didn’t work and dad brought in all $ 3.) She went to A&M and we know that most blondes there are getting that MRS or teaching degree 4.) Quotes from both of them: "I love Alex's heart and how he'd give the shirt off his back to anyone," Reagan told The Knot in 2021. "He makes everyone feel included and happy — that's admirable and hard to find." Alex feels the same way about his wife, telling the outlet, "She cares: she's willing to go above and beyond for the people she loves and is loyal. She's hardworking, smart and she literally does everything for me. She makes life better. Whenever I'm around her, she makes me happy." Her quotes translated: he buys me lots shit and also buys his friends and family stuff. His quote translated: She doesn’t give me shit and goes with the flow. And she does the stuff in bed that I like. She has no say in the finances unless you count picking out household decor, remodeling shit, and what color her Lexus SUV is.
