  1. Yes, if you went through the posts and what perspective they come from then the CR majority view has bled over here. I'm not sure why the need to come to DT and post the same stuff. But the topic itself is politically charged and there is very little else to discuss as the protest will not change the tragedy in Israel and Gaza. Camping on the south mall is like taking a piss of the cliff at Oasis, then beating your chest about how much you just filled up Lake Travis. Until 6 months ago, the vast majority of protesters could not have pointed out Gaza on a map, and didn't think about Israel and Palestine relations more than 1% of the year. These campus protests are a narcissistic exercise. There are infinite better ways for these protesters to affect change for this area of the world. Affect awareness and change locally but throwing a tantrum on campus hanging out in a tent isn't going to get it done. And not LOL, by having UT divest from inconsequential investments in weapons contractors. Offer each protester a plane ticket and some GoFundMe money to get to the Egyptian border with Gaza to help with refugees. When you ask them to put their money where their mouths are, we would hear crickets.
  2. Depends on the post and what side you're on. Speck vs plank in the eye kind of thing.
  3. He's either hiding an injury or someone needs to get his head right. Pitching is a mind game as much as it is raw talent and sheer amounts of work. Cody didn't get to UT and suddenly drop off because of his arm or he suddenly became inept at throwing the ball. For all the stereotypes of baseball guys being blue collar dufus sluggers, you don't get to this level without the ability to THINK within the game at the plate or on the mound.
  4. And a good pitching coach (if Cody has a good enough arm to be a Texas pitcher) should be able to help him right the ship. This includes the rest of the pitching staff. Texas will not be able to out offense itself deep into a tournament/play off situation.
  5. Land of the eternal spring. And sinkholes. But the weather is worth the risk of your car plunging 200 feet into eroded volcanic rock.
  6. I guess you could say that “group who are jewbies.”
  7. “I had a girlfriend who is Jewish”. This phrasing should be used more often when the topic is sensitive and the adjective is not in person forward language. E.g. I have a “patient with obesity” rather than “the obese patient.”
  8. So you’re saying we should win convincingly?
  9. I wonder how much CO, CO2, benzene, cyanide etc is being spewed out into the atmosphere.
  10. For sure, already has quite the touch despite some big ?s about the defensive backfield. Several of the receivers look to be running sharp routes.

    Colonoscopy

    Soon to be copied and shown to classmates...
  12. Or we need to reduce and meet in the middle. Sounds like I need to bite the bullet and look into home solar.
  13. Depending on where you are staying do the pedestrian bridge. Plein Cafe near the Curacao sign is pretty good. The Rif Fort shopping area is interesting. All that area is touristy but at least worth a visit. Try to get out to some snorkeling or diving spots around the island. That's where the real beauty of the island is. And all the Curacao drinks are ubiquitous across the island. Nothing special.
  14. Yeah, if Hunter and Mitchell weren't going to work their asses off to improve their game for UT then time to go. Of course, Tyrese is going to light it up somewhere next year in some kind of Murphy's law situation and not because coaching but because he decided to actually play to his ability more than once every eight games. They were both frustrating to watch this year and I was rooting for them both to live up to their potential preseason 2023.
  15. The US has a long history of managing to weaponize or fund both sides of a conflict. Usually not at the same time.
  16. We’ll see. Maybe this is one step above saber rattling. If Iran coordinates these slow ass drones with cruise missiles or other types of attacks, then the 💩 hits the fan.
  17. All at the expense of football. Unless Aranda pulls a miracle with a bunch of diamonds in the rough, Baylor football will be mid tier in the new B12.
  18. There are quite a few West and Southside SA restaurants that I have frequented that look like that and I know that I’m in for some diarrhea or some damn good Tex Mex when the decor matches that pic.
  19. Not too tired to keep throwing a solid elbow every time he gets the ball in the paint.
  20. I feel very fortunate that my house was only 10 seconds less than the time at the center of totality. The cloud forecast was crappy but the totality was in view for us the entire event. The show did not disappoint. Sureal.
  21. There are a ton of variables buying a condo. HOA, assessments, volatile market values, outside the inside wall problems you cannot control, etc. If you go this route, then you can 1031 exchange and lease back to her for now and then she can buy it outright from you in a couple of years and then you can 1031 into another income producing property anywhere you want unless you want to take the capital gains hit at that time.
  22. Make these in large size and problem solved.
