  1. Well, one of my grandfathers was an aggy, so I can't totally deny it.
  2. We just had a day here in Texas in which 70% of the electricity consumed was supplied by renewables. Also, this is awesome: midwestern farmers are embracing solar panels as a hedge against volatlie crop prices. I love the photo of the sheep keeping cool in the shadows of a solar array. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-07/america-s-farmers-embrace-solar-panels-to-protect-against-volatile-crop-prices?srnd=green Also, Biden's Inflation Reduction Act has resulted in a flurry of solar energy development in Republican-led Ohio and Indiana.Solar panels are the new cash crop in Republican Ohio and Indiana. I LOVE THIS paragraph: "Developers are expected to install 15 gigawatts’ worth of new photovoltaic panels in the two states, enough to power about 12 million households. That’s happening even as Ohio has moved to slow, if not thwart, renewable energy projects." https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/solar-panels-are-the-midwests-new-cash-crop-as-green-energy-booms
  3. Well, I have a bit of an "in" with Visma. I knew that Matteo was in fantastic early-season shape and that Visma was going to go hard on supporting him. Of course, there are a million things that can happen that prevent somebody from winning a bike race but I was pretty sure that Matteo would do well if he could stay upright. He might be too tall to ever win the TDF or the Vuelta or the Giro, but his riding style and position on the bike remind me of a young Indurain, so who knows? He's only 24. And Bradley Wiggins is just as tall and he won the Tour, so all things are possible.
  4. "All he wants to do is appeal to his base. He has no principles. None. His goddamned tweeting and lying... oh my god. I'm talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit. [...] It's the phoniness of it all. It's the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel." ---- Trump's sister, Judge Maryann Trump Barry, on Donald. She added that he did not read books and had someone take the college entrance exam in his place.
  5. After the Super Bowl my friends were like "oh, shit ... now we have the long dark tea-time of our souls with no sports of consequence until September." I said "no so fast, my friends, I have the Tour de France, which takes up the month of July." Then I started trying to convince them how they should watch and how it's a great break in the summer doldrums. But, no. They're not going to watch skinny ladyboys in tight pants ride bicycles. One of them said "you know how I know you're gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that." Another said "I was thinking I'd just dig up the corpse of Margaret Thatcher and have sex with it. That seems like it would be a lot more fun."
  6. She's from Alabama, a state whose entire population has never drunk a cosmo.
  7. McNulty and Jorgenson at the top of Paris Nice? USA! USA! USA!
  8. The thread literally has Aggy in the title. Did you expect it to get smarter?
  9. I'm glad I'm a white male. Even if the worst happens, I should be okay. Oh, wait .. I'm also Catholic. Am I fucked?
  10. My man! That was quite a stage. No fooling around! If he doesn't win I'll blame the fact that they're changing tomorrow's course on account of the snow. 😃
  11. I would imagine any congressman capable of getting an erection would have been wanting to sit next to Boebert. I mean, politics is one thing but a happy ending is quite another.
  12. They should have had Kamala sit on a phone book to really emphasize how tiny and unmanly Mike Johnson is.
  13. They are completely obsessed with our backup QB, aren't they? Never change, Aggies!
  14. That's fine. If they show up, we've got a chance. Nobody is offering a better deal, all things factored in, than Texas. Smart players will realize that and jump. And if it drives the price up for other schools and forces them to draw down their reserves, that's fine, too. Things have more than evened out in our favor now that we have a bag game.
  15. Rumor was Kathryn Janeway could take a pounding after late-night "study sessions" at Starfleet Academy.
  16. "Trump, Covey said, “is really the gold standard in Southeast Texas.” Holy shit. A goddamn philandering elitist Ivy leaguer from New York City is the gold standard in southeast Texas. Yeah, but the turtle hates Trump.
  17. You think people dislike Musk now, wait till he gives a financial lifeline to Trump. Buying Trump for $600 million may fetch a better ROI than the $44 billion he spent on Twitter
  18. They are not sending out their best people.
