  1. I remember hearing the most of Portland was built before they knew they’d get real significant earthquakes. Only a percentage of the buildings are retrofitted. So all of that city is going up in smoke if the big one happens.
  2. If it’s a standard Silicon Valley style cookie cutter company, the board is probably in a rough spot. He will own a lot of stock, and since they’re VC backed, it’s unlikely they can repurchase it, even if they term him for cause. He has to gtfo, but you also can’t have a hostile stockholder with 20%+ of the shares.
  3. I thought it impossible for him to paint himself the victim in this situation, but clearly I underestimated him.
  4. Are we losing recruitments because we’re too poor? Or are we getting recruits because we’re flush? It’s hard to keep up sometimes.
  5. These people's minds are so fucking broken. At what point are the commissioners and judge liabile for gross negligence? I used to live in San Francisco. I moved there for work. My family is from a tiny west Texas town. My grandfather passed in 2019, so I took a late night plane in order to get there for the funeral. When I arrived, the wake was already over, but the funeral director let me in to see the casket before the funeral. After a few minutes, he started asking me where I lived, what I did, the usual, and when I said San Francisco, he went on this huge rant about what a hell hole it was, Obama, etc. All while I'm sitting here in an otherwise empty church room trying to mourn my grandfather.
  6. Why would they want Bondi gone? Assuming they're right and there was a conspiracy, pretty clear the calls are being made above her head.
  7. For some of these families, $100K a kid is a rounding error and they're going to have no qualms in doing whatever they can to exert non-monitary revenge.
  8. The position I am least concerned with in high school recruiting is WR. Bummer we missed Finley, but we have a stacked room and there is always quality in the portal.
  9. Every year with Sark, there is a summer lull and everyone panicks. Every year, he closes like a MF and all this whining looks absurd in retrospect. So I'll give Sark the benefit of the doubt here, and console myself with our #1 ranked recruiting class from last year.
  10. That is as close to a furiously waved white flag as could reasonably be expected. If this was the cost of dropping those bunker busters (without them even closing the Strait of Hormuz) this is a huge win for the US. Wish we could drop this moron from a B-2 into Iran.
  11. I have no idea how this turns out but you have to see this as the line of reasoning. I despise Trump and our endless wars, but I also don’t think Iran with nukes is in anyone’s interest. Everyone agreed they shouldn’t have them, but no one did anything about it. The German PM made a comment to that effect. Shit happened, Israel obliterated Irans proxies and its air defense, and a golden opportunity arose to knock out their nuclear program with a good possibility of limited to no consequences. I’d be tempted too.
  12. Is this real? Because I don’t see it on their site.
  13. This is Israel and US holding Irans feet to the fire on the negotiations. The administration in Iran is going to be under a lot of internal pressure to make a deal. The regular folks there don’t want a war. Who knows if Bibi does wtf he wants to anyway.
  14. Woof. Pretty sobering article in Axios this AM. Have no doubt we'll deftly and expertly navigate the politics and social upheaval. AI is coming for all the jerbs
  15. There is a very active Texas Exes chapter in London. They have game watching parties, even for the super late kicks. Highly recommend that you get involved.
  16. I lived in West Hamstead. London isn't actually a cohesive city, it a collection of numerous closely related cities clustered together. Be honest with yourself about what you value (hipster coffee shops and restraunts, family friendly, closeness to work, etc.) and pick one accordingly. Dress for the rain; when people say it rains a lot in the winter, I didn't appreciate what that actually means. It rains ALL THE TIME. And not like a Portland drizzle - it downpours. Avoid renting a basement flat. All the wind, rain and trash collects on your front doorstep.
  17. Good for him. Gets exposure to some elite basketball and some decent food. Good luck going back to bacon baps and oily fried fish after living in Austin, Texas kid.
  18. Scalia, for all his flaws, was at least intelligent.
  19. I’ve followed Texas recruiting for almost 30 years. I check the board multiple times a day, listen to the podcasts, buy Scipios stupid book, etc. I have absolutely no memory of Quay Davis, Landon King, and Michael Myslinski.
  20. Percy Harvin was pretty disgusting.
  21. He's trying to give Trump an off ramp by throwing someone under the bus (probably Navarro).
  22. Isn't it all connected though? Because people have been saying these are dishonest, unserious people, who will run this country into the ground. Jan 6, Ukrainian aid, the COVID response...it's all led us to here. But trans kids are running track and we elected a black man, so the racists had no choice.
  23. WH pres sec denies Trump is considering the 90 day pause. LOL
  24. Shoutout to Trump for not blowing up the world in order to save his ego. Like, fuck that guy, but that's a mighty big step for him. If its true and all.
