  1. It kind of seems like it should be the responsibility of the crew to follow the racers. Am I wrong? Seems real shitty that they lost because their crew didn’t exit at the same place in the roundabout. Maybe the team did it wrong and the crew couldn’t follow them (whether due to traffic or traffic laws) but they should be able to track and catch up quickly. Tough way to go out.
  2. This fucking guy. I just looked at his official FEC biography and he has the Texas A&M University School of Law, graduating in 2002. That school did not exist. It was Texas Wesleyan and A&M bought it in 2013. On his OFFICIAL FUCKING GOVERNMENT RESUME. Also, that resume has him as a Corps member. So, a genuine weirdo.
  3. See, but the bold part is not the test. The test is not how they treat friends or people they view as their equal, or near equal. The test is how they treat and view those who are marginalized or they see as below them. I bet in those cases, the answer is different.
  4. Happy for Keilan. I am sure he expected more time after transferring from Bama, but never seemed to pout and seemed like a team guy. I kept waiting for him to give up but was always ready to go. Also good for Ford. In the right place, I think he could be a very useful piece.
  5. Double technicals are pussy shit from refs.
  6. I love that my family can go play putt putt golf on a Saturday morning. The same course my dad played on as a kid. Then, we can find multiple spots with great breakfast tacos. Then, we can choose from a few central Austin pools that all have a communal feel. Then we can choose between 3 or so record stores to browse through the bins. Then we can go to a movie and choose from 3 central Alamo Drafthouses, including the oldest operating one in the country. That’s all within 15-20 minutes of each other.
  7. I don’t know the answer so this is an honest question. Are people affiliated with the university or outside of the university who were arrested for, but were not charged for, sexual assault banned from campus? Do campus police have a list or something?
  8. I saw that the Zilker Zephyr is in testing phase. Not sure when it’s open to the public but hopefully soon for my 4 and 7 year old. That whole story is an absolute joke but I’ll be glad when it’s back up and running.
  9. Yeah, Vinny’s language is Abuser 101. Whatever confidence she had, he has beaten out of her through the way he talks to her.
  10. This interests me. We have a 7 and 4 year old. Is this a kid friendly place? From the photos, I can’t really tell. Looks like there’s a play area out there? We’ve been trying to get them out to more shows lately and this looks like it could be a great time.
  11. Maybe women never wanted to have 5-6 kids (or any at all) but were forced to for labor or societal reasons. When they actually had, you know, agency, they made the decisions they always wanted to make.
  12. The stat on Inside the NBA was 25/20/10 games and it was 2 by Wilt and 1 each by Kareem and Dave Cowans. Jokic has 4. So, he has as many as the rest of the NBA, in its’ history.
  13. That triple double stat was insane. What a player.
  14. That was a fun challenge. When Rob realized what was happening, he was like, “ok, you guys want some?”
  15. Sorry about your car, though.
  16. Watched it the other day and I was cry-laughing by the end. Total insanity. Pretty much everyone does it on that show, but Conan complimented the host on the questions. It’s one thing to hear that from some actor but to hear it from a talk show host who has three decades of experience is another. Must feel awesome.
  17. These three teams working together are psychotic.
  18. Saw Monkey Man this week and really enjoyed it. People keep bringing up John Wick, but it has much more on its' mind. The setting and environment is very unique and not something you see a lot in movies. It's much more political in nature. As far as the action, I think it is more similar to something like Atomic Blond. The action is actually pretty minimal and when it happens, it is much more brutal and personal than Wick. It's people just trying to survive with whatever is within arm's reach, instead of the Gun Fu of John Wick. You can see some of the seams of the story since it bounced around so many studios (it's an interesting Hollywood story), but it's a really impressive directing debut from Dev Patel. These movies are not easy to make.
  19. Sure, just put it in car wash mode. But note that car wash mode turns off your wipers…..so, good luck, I guess?
  20. Can't remember if you were there, but we had a Shaggy happy hour there 15 or so years ago.
  21. A little Dick, who was perfectly cast as well. Marie de Salle's playing. You remember I told you about her. I like her. She's kind of Sheryl Crow-ish crossed with a post-Partridge Family pre-L.A. Law Susan Dey kind of thing, but, you know, uh, black. One of my favorite movies. They're actually showing it at the Alamo a few times this month if you're interested.
  22. Mariko killed it that episode. Council scene was fantastic. Pretty awesome episode, even without Toranaga. Needs more Fuji though.
  23. Do you want to see Due Lipa and Annie Clark eye fuck each other for 3 minutes? Of course you do:
  24. I went and grabbed a matinee at Alamo Village today (Money Man - really liked it). When I was walking in, I noted a video return box for Vulcan Video outside and when I walked in, they had a bunch of DVD sleeve inserts organized by director and genre. I asked the guy at the desk and he said that they bought the Vulcan Video inventory and are setting up a small rental shop, hopefully completed by the end of April. He said that they will be free rentals, just asking people to bring them back. It's DVD's for now, but they are working to figure out VHS as well at some point, although it's harder to find and not many people still have (or want) VHS players. I'll be interested to see it when it's set up. Just FYI for you physical media heads out there.
