San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Thanks. All he has now is OTA so I’ll have to get him internet service or cable. I guess I should have said that in the beginning. He’s on a fixed budget but I’ll figure it out.

San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
I have an elderly uncle in San Antonio and he has no tv service. I want to set him up to be able to watch the Spurs. What is the most economical way to set him up? In the Austin area I am watching them on FanduelTV. Do I need to get him a streaming or basic cable service? Thanks

From reading the article I assume mostly a bunch of crappy stuff with Jim Beam pausing production mixed in.

Was your family famers along the Medina River valley? I'm quarter Belgian, mostly Flemish from near Leuven. My great-great grandfather came to San Antonio in 1881 when he was about 15 on his own and got a job as a pastry chef at the Menger hotel until he raised enough to bring the rest of his family. Also have some Belgians on the other side of my family.

The Lost Generation essay
Yeah, an analogy comes to mind in the Military or any other organization with a defined promotion/tenure schedule for up or out. You watch the guys in front of you get their promotion every two years and think I can live with that and sign up and then there is an end to GWOT leading to reduction in force and now the standards for getting that next promotion are higher since there are fewer spots than there used to be. The guys that thought they were on this ride for the long haul and would have made it under the old standards now have to get off and are disappointed.

The thing is that things like the Inflation Reduction Act and Chips act should have helped this group if they were willing to get the training to work in US Solar, infrastructure and semiconductor manufacturing.- Tell Me About Texas a&m

I’ve stated several times I agree they feel this way. I’ve also started the article ascribes the cause of the experience that led to the feeling to one thing, DEI policies, while ignoring other factors like 66% of new communications grads being women and complaining that the hiring mirrored the grad rates and that white men weren’t hired >50%. That’s a huge disconnect from reality. I also stated that white men in tech really had it worse but more due to H1B than to DEI. So the solutions don’t just lie in killing/reforming DEI but in several other things that would actually address the problem like a bigger tax on H1B and outsourcing. Programs that help people successfully complete degree programs and skills training for the information economy, etc.- 2025 CFP First Round - The "U" @ aggy

Again, I agree that they believe they were worse off, they believe that they were shafted. But IIRC I think everyone was better off in 2024 than 2022. Now were they conflating 2022 with 2019 and comparing 2024 to pre-covid, maybe. If that was the case then they were not answering the wquestion asked but responding more on feelings. Again, no doubt, Biden lost the messaging war over inflation, the causes and the remedies. Just because people feel a thing does not make it right, but your point is valid in that we have to do a better job of addressing what they feel or believe.- The Lost Generation essay
I'll agree that there is a population of white males that believe they have been shafted because they believe the things that Rush, Hannity, Trump and others have told them. They don't like it and they lash out by voting to hurt other people and because having a guy that offers lip service to their perceived grievances who has the same skin tone, if not a little more Ochre, instead of a black man or a bi-racial woman is one of the ways they would predictably lash out. Kamala had no chance of bringing in this disaffected group and probably widened the gap over a generic white guy because in that group's mind every woman and woman of color is a DEI hire. So they may be wrong about the cause but do we need to cater to their misguided fears? Maybe some of us are just too tired of the bullshit whoa is me mindset of the perpetual grievance machine and just want those complainers to pull themselves up. They wont because complaining and blaming is easier.- July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
worse than I expected, and I expected something pretty bad. The only thing that would have saved these lives was evacuating ahead of time. I've been on camping trips in low lying areas before where we feared heavy rain (McKinney Falls, Garner, etc.) and just packed up and left a day early. People in the Mobile Home, RV parks, etc could have done that if warned. The campers would have been harder but they had buildings on higher ground that would have been a start.- Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
To be more clear on my post above, I'll have kids in school another 10 years. I will probably be in position to retire then or maybe a little earlier. I would consider working from home for half my salary as an alternative to retirement for a few years as a way to delay expenses like health insurance and allowing for more growth in retirement before I start withdrawing.- The Lost Generation essay
And to continue my previous post if I dug deeper I would probably find that even though the % of Female Communications graduates passed 60% in the 1980s that statistics would show a significant number of them selected out of the labor pool shortly after to start families through the peak in the 1990s. In the 2000-2010s we might see the delayed family starts coming into play where those women stayed in the workforce exacerbating the problem for the outnumbered white men who were previously advancing when the women left the workforce.- 2025 CFP First Round - The "U" @ aggy
