  1. I see a lot of Cedric Benson in him. Short legs, low center of gravity with a choppy stride. Very quick to top speed but not a burner. Can juke you or truck you. But Bijan has even more wiggle and is an elite receiver. To me he’s the most talented RB we’ve had since Ricky.
  2. It's gonna be really bad for China in the next 20-30 years when all the people who were born prior to the one-child policy start retiring. Especially as their average age of retirement is 54 (they have been talking of raising it for years). Impossible to fund all those people with a much smaller working cohort. Who knew that top down, unilateral policy making might have unintended consequences?
  3. That's good to know. How does that change for instances where we are selecting from certain models, not truly customizing from the ground up?
  4. So my wife and I are considering building a house on her family's land south of Austin. We went to a custom home builder and got some prices for fully built out, but it was with completely basic options. Like stained concrete for the floors, basic It came out to about 300k. My question then is, how much should we expect to pay on upgrades? We aren't needing top of the line everything, but say nicer faux wood floors, upgraded bathrooms and kitchen, etc. It feels like we'd get to a 100k extra in a hurry. Just looking for general ball park costs before making any decisions.
  5. Looks like I didn't see this in time, but I HIGHLY recommend Smokin Oak BBQ in Taylor. Its a trailer at the old Taylor High, which they have turned into a shopping and dining area. I admit that I am biased, since I grew up with the guys who run it, but to me it blows places like Louie Mueller's way out of the water.
  6. I can think of at least half a dozen during the Strong era that were worse. Top of the list being the 50-7 vs tcu where they were up 37 at half.
  7. ah, gotcha. I thought you were saying we weren't winning the West
  8. Complete crypto newb here. Where would y'all recommend putting 5k to start? Just keep it simple with BTC?
  9. It’s currently pouring at my house in north Austin. And lots of thunder and lightning.
  10. yeah I got rained on for 30 minutes while out on the golf course in Round Rock yesterday. The fact that it is even possible for that this time of year is great.
  11. I'm dancing with breaking 80...just can't put two good 9s together. Have had 9s of 40, 39, and 38 recently, just coupled with mid 40s on the other half. Tantalizing...
  12. I have been dealing with a good deal of anxiety lately. I am on Lexapro (escitalopram) daily, but lately it hasn’t done the trick. I have had some good results from CBD oil. Take a couple droppers a day and it definitely has mellowed me out more than I thought it would.
  13. 83 on Monday. 95 today. You can’t explain it that.
  14. Needed a birdie on the last hole to go even par on the back 9...so I proceeded to double bogey
  15. Maybe he could get into home improvement related sales (siding, roofs, screened in porches, etc). I know someone in it and it does seem to pay decently. Don’t think there is too much computer work and you get to be with people face to face. Lots of driving though, usually a large territory to cover.
  16. I carry a 58 and I love using it from 80 and in, including around the green. I always struggled trying to use different clubs for chipping around the green depending on how far I was, so I just close down the club face and let it run more if I need to. Every now and then I’ll use the 54 for chipping as well but predominantly it’s the 58.
  17. I guess they don’t provide a jockstrap with the rest of the uniform for visits...
  18. Buy a 4 foot steel ruler and practice rolling the ball all the way down the length of it over and over in your living room.
  19. Whenever I see Valdez pitching I immediately think, " IIIIII was born a Framblin Mannnnn"
  20. What’s the latest they’ll start the game before pushing to tomorrow?
  21. ‘member when you could play golf in Austin?
