  1. Pretty much identical to what happened to me on a flight not long ago. Due said he had no choice, but he couldn't have been more than 5'9". I said if he'd actually sit up in his seat he wouldn't need to dig his knees into my back. He scooted his ass back in the seat. Never another problem the whole flight. "No choice" my ass.
  2. Reminds me of one of the greatest quotes in the history of cinema: "There are some things that I like to get straight up front so that there are no misunderstandings later on. I do not do animal acts. I do not do s&m or any variations of that particular bent. No watersports either. I will not shave my pussy. No fistfucking, and absolutely no coming in my face. I get $2000 a day and I do not work without a contract".
  3. 100%. Lived a block up the hill from there in 2001 while we were building our house. Woodmeade, with Panama Myers and some other UT hoops guys living upstairs. Chicks would knock on our door at 3am thinking they were at those dudes' apt lol. Imagine their surprise when I opened the door. Nice enough apartment complex, but on almost any night we could hear gunfire from our balcony. Also worked that area in AFD for about 20 years. There's all kinds of bad shit going down over there. Not the worst area of town, but sneaky dangerous even back then, and it's gotten a lot worse.
  4. 1. COTA. 2. COTA's $500+ Million in subsidy payments so far from the State of Texas MERP subsidy, enabled by Gov. Hot Wheels, and increasing annually.
  5. Wow. Following Karch the goat? No pressure! I'm sure he'll do a fantastic job though. Congrats, Coach!
  6. If Bond - Isaiah Bond - goes under the radar anytime soon, I think we'll know why.
  7. Este.
  8. Some of us have said it for more than a decade. Glad to see that more people are finally catching on ...
  9. This is a big problem I see with FSD, Tesla or otherwise - this inability to detect, interpret correctly, and handle roadway features like this one or subtler ones at construction zones with traffic patterns changing by the day etc. Afaik the other guys doing it are in another universe of better performance than Tesla's FSD, and even with them it would worry me. Tesla being allowed to run this shit is fucking nuts, esp with all their heavy-ass vehicles. The construction of the new freeway through and around the Y in Oak Hill is a perfect example, with new white & yellow lines frequently being painted while the old ones are still visible because they didn't grind 'em off well enough. It's a mess.
  10. Sark gon' get a raise ... and it wouldn't be surprising at all to me if this rumor was leaked with very intentional, disruptive timing.
  11. Noice. My main goal sports-wise is to continue MTBing, skiing, & snowboarding, and start playing beach volleyball again, which I used to play 3-4 times a week but haven't been able to at all for years due to the hip (except for some occasional rallying).
  12. 3 month update: Just finished rehab. Did it all at home via the Force Therapeutics app (which I think the practice owns). They gave me a referral for therapy outside the home - if I felt like I needed it. I never used it. Just did the exercises in the videos on the app, per their plan. The exercises changed every couple of weeks. My surgical hip already feels great and is noticeably better off now than the right other hip. No pain. No pain. No pain. Far better range of motion than before. I walk normally now, no limping. I can squat deeper and easier now than I could for years, and without favoring a side. Starting to feel like I can run again, mountain bike, etc. Hip feels brand new. If you have a painful hip and are a candidate for replacement but aren't quite sure yet that you wanna do it, based on my experiences, I say find a good doctor and do it if you can. Life's too short to be limited, limping around, not doing the things you want and/or need to do, being in pain much of the time. Now, not to be outdone, Mrs. Wood (no pics) is going in tomorrow for knee replacement surgery.
  13. They were both little bitches and both had good points at times. You talking about the Senna doc film or the series? The Senna film was good, but was very slanted in Senna's favor and paints it all one way. Senna's way. I haven't seen the series. I met and got to talk quite a bit with the doc's director Asif Kapadia here in Austin at the world premier at the Paramount. Good guy, but a massive Senna fanboi, and it really shows in the movie. In the movie, Senna could do no wrong, and everything was the fault of evil Prost. It's bullshit.
  14. As Glen Lietzke used to tell us all the time, "No pass, no play". And we saw that play out on the court ad nauseum this season, so yeah, huge acquisition. Even better if we land Stafford.
  15. Yeah and it's a shame because COTA's track is actually not bad at all once you get away from all the dumbasses that don't have a clue how to drive it. I wonder what the Andretti place in SA is like. Anyone been?
  16. Ten times? JFC. How far did he travel?
  17. So, anyone hear anything about those crazy terrorist incidents in New Orleans & Vegas?
  18. Oh, by all means ... please dismiss it!
