    Uh, if you haven't noticed, this thread has been completely taken over and CR'd by a certain few and their warped ass Twitter feeds for a few days now. And it's not the "cabal".

    I get it. This is a slam dunk for the "leftist views run amok" crowd. But it's okay to just call it what it is at this point.

    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.

    0 earned runs in his first 9 innings this year.

    28 runs in his last 13 innings.

    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.

    Holy shit Cody Howard has had a terrible month. 

    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.

    You had a Jew girlfriend?  It’s using “Jew” as an adjective that is the issue. 

    “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.”

    id be very surprised if Owens finishes his career as a Longhorn 

    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.

    But I definitely showed him the photos from up my butt. 

    Soon to be copied and shown to classmates...

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    Now lots of things go boom.

    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.

    Drew already had an extension in hand that will make him a top 3 paid coach in the land along with a huge NIL haul to go with it.  

    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.

    So they will be reluctant to push too hard. The coming wave of real estate defaults will probably cause a major impact. So they will not raise rates, wait for the real estate crash, and then adjust rates modestly.  Inflation will continue to run hot for the next 10 years (3-4%) and they will inflate away the debt.

    do whatever you can to get in the path of totality

    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.

    Thanks so much. This is really helpful and I think you’re right. I will continue to check but I really appreciate your input. She’s 24 and already making some serious dosh and insanely, would be able to buy her own NYC condo outright in 2025. Investment banking is a brutal profession but the pay is just crazy. 

    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.
