    Fuck that and all these people who think BLACK looks good with our school colors!

    Our school colors are BURNT ORANGE AND WHITE!!

    Those are the only 2 colors allowed. BLACK is not one of them!

    If you're on a mission to destroy school apparel, go fucking destroy Neuter Dumb's shit -- make their apparel PINK with multicolor-pixie-dust or some other trainwreck colors.

    Leave my Texas Longhorns apparel alone!

    BURNT ORANGE AND WHITE!! That's it!

    Prepare to direct that anger at Nike...

     

    Reminds me of those terribad practice jerseys from late-era Mack...

  2. I'm sure this has been asked in prior years, but the search function sucks more than the IRS...

    What's the best way to handle Texas sales tax to ensure maximum deduction but also avoid federal, pound-me-in-the-ass prison? The IRS' income-based deduction calculator says we spent ~$30k last year, which is absolutely laughable considering my wife's penchant for setting cash on fire + 2 kids...but they can't expect people to collect and submit 1,000+ sales receipts every year to itemize, right?? Are there any super secret CPA methods or threshold amounts that are defensible or outright fly under the audit radar? TIA.

    Wasn’t a direct comparison, just hyperbolizing the lack of talent from the rest of the offense. Guess a better one would be that he looked like CTJ out there relative to a bunch of Mailbox357s.

    – as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame.

    I don't know about that. Seems like some young MBA has upper management written all over him for an innovative materials and labor cost savings program by eliminating pesky bolts.

    Reminds me of a budget planning meeting I was in a few years back. Some supply chain finance analyst, fresh out of college, is looking through our current-year actuals and says "You spent a lot of money on...[visible confusion] engine borescopes?..this year. Will that be needed again next year, or could we maybe only do like half the amount?" We (the engineers) just laughed.

  5. Something was signed off wrongly (incorrect torque value, improper safety wire/loctite install, etc.) or the signoff was overlooked (shift change, out-of-sequence work, etc.), but a huge QC miss either way. Would love to know who's truly responsible, but the unions are pretty good about shielding their own from scrutiny...assuming there was no alcohol or malicious intent involved.

    It wasn't a door that blew out. It was an actual section of the fuselage. It was in a spot where some airlines have a door based on their config but Alaska does not.

    I believe all Max 9 fuselages are fabricated with a door in that space. Depending on the config and number of seats an exit door is normally not needed and the hole is “plugged”. In this case the plug unplugged. 

    Also, this isn’t a MAX feature, the -900 (737NG) has been flying with that door/plug option configuration for 20+ years…and I’d bet good money the design was 100% untouched on the MAX to preserve the certification basis.

    Given how new this particular airframe is, I’m guessing it was a manufacturing QC failure, which are rarely isolated to a single tail. But AS maintenance procedures will go under the microscope as well, bc apparently it’s been squawking pressurization faults recently:

    There is also the whole "Johnny Patron" thing to consider with Nansen. Probably not so relevant anymore, but he also did not have a great track record while coaching LBs at USC (big dropoff after 2017). I guess he turned things around at Arizona.

    Let he who has not pined after the Joey’s on Lake Union (when it was still there) waitstaff cast the first stone.

    Oh, I 100% agree Lebby and Venables are also to blame. The decimation began with Riley, though. Taking Williams and M. Nelson with him to USC fucked everything. 
     

    Lebby and Venables bringing in Gabriel was a positive, but everything else to set the room right was a failure. I can’t even put into words how bad Lebby was as a quarterback coach and manager of his room. What happened at QB in ‘22 should never happen at OU. Lebby got Arnold on campus, and I give him credit for that, but he also managed to fuck Arnolds first year as well. Just monumental levels of bull shit. 

    Keep going, I’m almost there.

    Have they always tried to do the stupid Texas Fight cheer after every first down or is that something new they are trying to shove down our throats?

    The latter.

    It's new and it's fucking pathetic.

    I remember when we made fun of Kansas State for doing it back in the day.

    I want that stadium DJ guy DEAD! I want his family DEAD! i want his house burned to the ground!

     

    You can thank CDC for that, it is 100% a TCU thing.

    Announcer: "Aaaaand that's another First Down, T..C..U--"

    Crowd: "FROGS!!"

  10. I opened an account with 30k at the beginning of covid, put about half in responsible stonks and used the rest to ride the FRSX/ALPP/MARA/SNVP/FPVD rockets to 4x returns...then put those profits in HMBL/AMYZF/IBRX to give most of it right back.
