  1. The reason you didn’t know who he was is because you are old. Every teenager knows who these guys are and a shocking number of them are not disturbed by their antics.
  2. This is not completely accurate. He did not spend 32 years in IT. He was in IT for several years earlier in his career, back in the early 2000s. The better part of the last 20 years he’s been in other corporate positions, but not specifically IT. That’s not to say he shouldn’t get any blame, but certainly not as much as Gary.
  3. I’ve flown with the CA on that flight several times. Great guy, who all parties agreed did everything right that day. He says he still thinks about it all the time. He wasn’t shy about discussing it and what he learned from it and how it affects his mindset in all tasks this many years later.
  4. I started by doing 10 before I went to bed and then 2 separate sets of 10 the next morning. I like that routine and probably going to mainly keep it that way.
  5. Second time I’ve seen this today, first was from the OP when he posted it on FB. He’s a solid guy and the most senior pilot I’ve ever flown with here. He’s seen some shit and is one of the rare few left around here who knew Herb from the old days. It’s dead-on accurate as far as I can see. GK was great at making money but all this fuckery began on his watch. Too soon to tell if Bob can unfuck it all or not, he hasn’t been in charge long enough to know yet.
  6. They were on pace to net nearly a billon dollars this year. This will eat into that some but it’ll still be a very profitable year. And over 10 billion in the bank with relatively little debt. As mentioned above, the outspoken passengers will move their business, and rightly so, but the majority of the flying public will keep on keeping on like they always have. Just a complete failure, years in the making, and very predictable. They took risks operating this place like it’s still Herb’s little airline bouncing around Texas and it worked out fine for so long until one winter day when it didn’t. The infrastructure hasn’t kept up with the growth. It’s embarrassing.
  7. Fucking embarrassing. That’s about all I got.
  8. I think you’re inferring a little much there. I’m a 50 year old dude who rides a bike a couple times a week and lifts just enough dumbbells in hotel gyms to slow the beer gut growth. The reason I split it up isn’t for a warm-up, it’s because I can’t do 30 all at once.
  9. I don’t currently do them everyday but when I do, it’s 3 sets of 10 or 2 sets of 15. Sometimes I’ll do the first two sets before whatever real workout I’m doing and the third set later. I don’t think I’d go from couch potato to 30 a day, but if you’re already doing them in addition to a more robust workout of some sort it shouldn’t be too much shock to move from say 3 days a week to 6.
  10. I ended up doing something similar with one section of it. Basic brisket rub with some oil, smoked at 225 until the internal temp was about 125°. Set it in a foil tent to cool while I cranked the heat up on the gas grill. Then seared all four sides on a 500° cast iron skillet on the gas grill. That got it to medium rare with a decent crust on the outside. It was delicious, moist, and gone too quick to take pics. Still have a couple more sections, probably going to chicken fry them for Christmas day. I don’t really hunt, but it was my kids first deer.
  11. I’m in. I’d like to ride my bike 5000 miles in a year, which isn’t that much but requires consistency. But the burpees goal agrees with my travel schedule a lot better. We should keep this thread as a log of running totals.
  12. I run my pump at 1200 rpm 24/7, except when it cranks up higher for the cleaner. Will that be enough in a hard freeze or should I ramp it up to something higher.
  13. I used to live in that old rundown apartment complex behind Chuy’s right next to Barton Place. Similar stories as you but more of the low-budget version… both the apartment and the women that came over after drinks. That place was a dump but also a goldmine in its own way back when Tinder was just getting going.
  14. I saw that last night. Apparently it's the electric version of the Hilux and intended to be sold in Asia and the Middle East.
  15. These are outstanding. I've used mine a couple of times on my vehicle and at least 5 times on other people's over the last couple years. I was skeptical it would work on a big battery but it does it every time on the first attempt.
  16. It doesn't. His contract allows UT to fire or suspend him with cause if, "any conduct (a) that the university administration reasonably determines is clearly unbecoming to a head coach and reflects poorly on the university, the program, or the university of texas system; or (b) resulting in a criminal charge being brought against head coach involving a felony, or any crime involving theft, dishonesty, or moral turpitude." Either he assaulted her as described or he brought a crazy lying gf along for the ride (6 years into the relationship and certainly having seen some red flags if that's who she is) who put the university in the national spotlight for something that reflects poorly. Either of those is unbecoming on his part and is a fireable offense per the language in his contract.
  17. Dude, quit beating around the bush and just say it directly. You think it's ok to bruise up and choke a woman if she slaps you. You seem to be hinting at that without having the balls to just say it. Yes, women smack men sometimes. The men who aren't cowards find a way to handle it without escalation or remove themselves from it.
  18. If your daughter invites a guy to sneak into her bedroom at night you can damn near kill him for it immediately, in defense of your sweet angel. But if your same daughter, a few years later, says a guy threw her around the room, bit her, choked her, and he is charged with a felony for it... you need to wait and gather more evidence and let it play out before deciding if his employment should be affected or not.
  19. Advice on venison backstrap? I'm seeing lots of recipes with some basic rub, smoke to medium rare, and a reverse sear. Anything other than that that you like?
  20. Exactly what evidence from years ago in Lubbock is there to show she deserved getting choked last night in Austin? She was a mean coach? So what. She screamed and yelled at him a lot? So what. Every man has a history with one or two women like that. You don't choke them. I've dated my share and several other people's share of batshit crazies. The list of blocked numbers on my phone might be longer than the list of my actual contacts. If they weren't in the upper half of the hot-crazy matrix I wasn't interested. Never once felt like I might need to strangle one of them.
  21. Yes. This needs to be reposted from time to time. I think I might've been at that game. I had never heard this story but it's outstanding, especially with the quotes from Texas coaches and players admitting they got duped by it and the fact that Leach never knew how effective it had actually been until the guy wrote the story about it years later.
