    I think he was caught off guard a bit by the severity of all and as I said he’s a buttoned up guy. He said he has to conduct an investigation basically and he would get back to me asap. I’m assuming they’re making initial contact with the perv and confronting him with evidence? I’m interested to see if the full time sheriff at the school has been brought in to help as well. 

    That sounds like a potentially and vague bullshit answer.  How long with the investigation take place, and what did he mean by getting back to you ASAP (the end of the day or the end of the week)?  What will the investigation entail, and is there a district wide procedure for how such incidents are handled or is the principal winging it?  Will the coach be suspended/removed from campus during the investigation?  Absent him immediately removing the coach from the school, I would contact the superintendent.  

    I would also be concerned about him badmouthing your daughter to her classmates, if he's allowed to remain on campus, and is in fact a groomer.

  2. Got a date tonight. Any recs for a nice Asian restaurant in the loop? Grew up in Houston but live in Austin and not super familiar with good date spots. I’m 47 and she’s 29, so looking for something fun but chill. 

     

    From reading the thread, Mala Sichuan seems like a good choice. Be good to have other restaurants or bars nearby that we can go to after dinner.

    It's going to be a class of "high character, under the radar, guys that just clicked together and loved what aggy was all about".

    You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know…morons.

    So your friend with the 5+ years felony probation is the equivalent of Griner being charged with intent to distribute and given 10 years in prison?

    "I don't think she should be used as a political tool for Putin, but rather be treated like anyone else."

    So which is it? Is she being treated as a political tool, or is she being treated like everyone else?

    Of course these are trumped up bullshit charges, but Putin would use any other American caught with a THC vape pen as a political tool.  So yeah, she's being treated like anyone else; anyone else defined as any other high profile American caught in Russia with drugs right before the country became a Western pariah.

  5. I use a spoonk, which is a knockoff I got on Amazon. It’s not a cure all for lower back pain but it helps.  I credit the endorphin rush and increased blood flow. Not sure if the spikes are sharper on the shakti vs spoonk, but it usually stops hurting after a minute or two.

    No one is saying they weren't a good band back in the day, and that they didn't put on a good show at ACL.  These things are both true.

    But just because they threw on some flannel, it didn't mean that at essence, they were a hair metal band.  They were better than those other hair metal bands you referenced.  But they were the dying gasp of hair metal.

    Fair point.  But they were actually talented, with good songwriting.  They weren't just a "hair act" for MTV.  Their records are legit top-to-bottom gold.  I still listen to them regularly not for nostalgia but because the albums are that enduringly good.  You only put on a Poison or Warrant song for a laugh or a stripper.  

    Yo, Chad Fuck, just because you want them to be hair metal doesn't mean they're hair metal.  Granted Axle Rose could work a can of Aquanet, but they didn't wear makeup on the regs and weren't a bunch of pretty boys.  Hair metal was the bubblegum pop of 80s metal, and GnR had an edge that was anything but bubblegum.

    Yeah, if I could have found one, I would have gotten it, most likely.  You hear pretty good things about Deore 12, though.  A lot of people sub in the XT shifter, which gives 3 up, but apparently is stiff as hell.  Even the Shimano fanbois concede that SRAM shifters are better across the board, and I guess that's a possibility, also.

    I don't really "deserve" much upgrade in componentry.  We'll see if I can make any use of any of it.  The theft and replacement value insurance (as opposed to trying to sell an old bike) presented a "unique" opportunity to upgrade a little.

    I’ve got shimano xt shifters and the ergonomics and shifting are way way better than the equivalent sram shifters on the bikes I demo’d. YMMV. 
     

    and fuck all that bs about deserving nice parts. Nice bikes are nice to ride and nicer bikes are even nicer to ride.

    thought all them witches was just ok on saturday. a lot of it had to do with the terrible crowd...could not get away from loud talkers, it was like back of stubbs bad. starting to really not enjoy sold out shows at the mohawk. the last few times i've seen ATW it's been in small dark clubs and i think their music lends itself better to that setting than to a bigger place like mohawk. energy just wasn't the same. 

    Didn't make it to that show but mohawk's got some talkers.  Lots of scenesters there. 

     

    Saw the war on drugs on Thursday.  I've seen them a ton of times, and can't help but thinking they're our generation's adult contemporary/soft rock.

    Weirrrdddd.

    Rode Katie Jackson today.  Felt good, had the clothes right for the temperature.  Pedaled pretty hard, kept gears high, felt fast, didn't huff and puff.  Rode the whole thing and was actually slower than 10 days ago when it felt like a bit of a death march and the ground was damp, AND I had been off the bike for a week.

    The whole thing is only a bit over 5 miles.  I was so disheartened to see my speed, I didn't redo any loops.  And this is my fourth ride this week, two MTB, two road.

    I was actually kind of fast on Gateway, despite it being new, I guess because it has a fair amount of descent and pretty gentle climbs.  If you know the trail and make good use of the banked turns, I bet you can haul ass on that one.

    Oh well, I enjoyed getting out, it was nice, and I got the ol' ticker pumping a little.

    Maybe pointing out the obvious, but it makes sense that the faster ride was the one that had you working harder (death march vs no huffing and puffing)

    Cheers on a good week of riding!

    I think he’s a goner. Right after a Jimbo in-house and before we even get ours??  Whether you like it or not, Jimbo can close and he can sell being a part of a #1 class (forget that 8-4 season). 

    That tweet and pperroni thinking he doesn't announce til 12/15 seems good for us.  It'll give him time to understand the longterm implications of our NIL fund and how it will benefit him.
