  1. Beats me. There's two ways to get to Progressive -- either thru an independent broker like us or directly to them. I think pricing is slightly better if you go direct because then they don't have to pay the commission. Could be something changed slightly -- deductible options, coverages might've been tweaked slightly from your previous policies and it's possible you're getting a "new business" credit because the system didn't/doesn't recognize you as a current client. You might not have selected a few add-in coverages this time or they might no longer be offered. Could also be that you've got a better insurance score than the first go-round and the system could be spitting out renewal offers without updating that info. Really hard to tell exactly.
  2. Not a fucking chance. That is nightmare fuel for me. It combines three of my biggest (albeit Irrational in many ways) fears -- plane crash, deep water and sharks.

    Texas Primaries

    Taking my 18-year-old daughter to go vote for the first time this afternoon. I'm going over the Dem ballot for Dallas. Anybody know who has a better shot against Morgan Meyer in November -- Yasmin Simon or Elizabeth Ginsberg? Seems like Ginsberg tried before and lost -- or maybe she ran for something else. Appears she's a Longhorn. Neighbor across the street has multiple Simon signs in his yard, which surprised me a bit. He's an executive at AT&T. His next-door neighbor is actually a R candidate for a State Board of Education seat. Also, anybody have feelings about Sam Eppler or Francine Ly, who are vying to challenge Beth Van Duyne (puke) in November? Eppler appears to have a lot more money. Dude is only 28, I think.
  4. Same clip with a delicious little soundbyte from Tubs. https://www.threads.net/@ronaldfilipkowski/post/C3p2Ay1O2E1/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
  5. Have you unplugged the router and plugged it back in?
  6. Oh, fuck me. I had the right movie character in mind but confused the movie and blew the line.
  7. This is actually a pretty good entry. This movie is WAY more enjoyable than it ever should've been.
  8. Warriors, come out toooooooo plaaaaaaay!!!
  9. John Oliver said HBO's new policy is to not let him post his clips until the Thursday after his show airs, so I did have to do a little work to bring this clip that he showed last night. (I hope it works.) It's about 45-50 seconds. You can punch out as soon at 1:20:33 or so when he ends this "story." EDIT: well, fuck, when I edited to fix some grammar, it must’ve killed the YouTube. I’ll try and re-post. EDIT #2: Here it is:
  10. We get more easily side-tracked than the orange sack of shit does during his stump speeches.

    About a month away from our annual Big Texas BBQ. This will be our 10th Annual event. https://tdclubdallas.org/event/big-texas-bbq-2023/ (the link is current even if it shows 2023 here) Saturday, March 23rd at the Cotton Bowl Plaza. Celeb judges include Tootsie Tomanetz, Daniel Vaughn, Jeffrey Hobbs, Jack Perkins, Doug Pickering, Marshall Prichard.
  12. Spent one night at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine for my son's birthday nearly 10 years ago and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. When I got remarried a few years late, one of my wife's family friends gave us a $500 GC to GWL thinking we'd want to take the kids out there sometime. I donated the card to be a raffle item at our annual Rib Cook-Off fund-raising event.
  13. Radiohead, Daft Punk, Neutral Milk Hotel? There's a lot of good stuff that came out 1994-2004. Walkmen, Strokes, Interpol, LCD to name just a few.
  14. I listen to XMU 35 almost exclusively but flip over to the 80's New Wave (XM33) quite often. Those are the two best stations on XMU.
  15. John Oliver returned with a bang this week. After skewering the Supreme Court for 20+ minutes, Oliver offers Clarence Thomas $1M/yr for the rest of his life -- and a $2M+ motorcoach -- IF he resigns from the bench within the next 30 days. https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/2024/02/19/john-oliver-clarence-thomas-supreme-court-offer/

    Dallas | Italian

    I didn't know who Keith Lee was until a couple of weeks ago. Then I found out he's a MMA/UFC fighter of some sort who does food reviews now. I appreciate the hustle but why would I listen to anything this cat says about food?
  17. The first two or three episodes are actually engaging, if not entirely good. Shit goes off the rails in E4 and never fully recovers.
  18. Kali Reis discusses Annie's tongue (among other things): https://www.today.com/popculture/tv/true-detective-season-4-ending-rcna139005 No thanks.
