  1. Yeah, they are way older - about 5 years. They were mostly engineers at UT and most of their families moved out to the Woodlands later in life.
  2. I know a lot of people around your age from Westfield - Mark Mancini, John Graff, Rick Phelan, Scott Heindel... I think they are a little older than you, though.
  3. I want to see this manual. It probably looks something like:
  4. This group right here is making it difficult for me to give a rating system. I got the dog, and the husband and wife - beyond that I need some help. The one with the dog has a goatee so it must be a guy and the one in the upper left I think has boobs. Lower left looks like she is wearing a bracelet and a ring so I guess a girl. Ehhh, I think I am better off just giving everyone an X and walking away.
  5. Make sure all your wires are connected properly and your system is plugged into a working outlet. Turn your system off, wait 10 seconds, and turn your system back on.
  6. How about Tay Tay? Tay Tay appears well liked at least.
  7. He can work at corner during the spring and get spot play during the season.
  8. I can't wait for the online safety meeting at Boeing between management and operations. Now you guys all remember Righty Tighty...
  9. He also beat me in a foot race in our Biology of Birds class.
  10. Notre Dame, Vandy, Duke... ha, ha. Notre Dame is the funniest though. I wonder where Yeshiva University is on the list.
  11. I am speaking in more strategic terms - Boeing didn't have many competitors so it could build what it wanted, build how it wanted, and sell at whatever price it wanted. Once, Airbus became a competitor, it was forced to build and sell at a competitive price. And so, it became accounting run to keep costs down. Think about GM in the early 80s. It took awhile for GM to stop building cheap plastic stuff to save money and even now, its reputation suffers from the cheap shit it built 40 years ago.
  12. Reese Poffenbarger - Any relation to Wendy Peffercorn?
  13. Some people just prefer lobster and filet mignon for lunch
  14. They say the same thing about New Orleans.
  15. I agree that Airbus is directly subsidized by the EU and that Boeing is indirectly subsidized through defense contracts. However, that doesn't change the fact that the need for subsidies changes the way that these companies do business. Financial constraints can lead toward more accounting business leadership and away from engineering led leadership. And accounting led leadership often leads to poor engineering and manufacturing controls as both those areas are often considered cost centers rather than profit centers. It doesn't excuse Boeing in the slightest, it only explains how these things crop up in business. It happens in every industry.
  16. The police use to crack down on them but as soon as they got one shut down, three more would show up. So, not much is done. They are legal as long as the betting amount is under $5 dollars in value (no cash). They all break the rules. But, it is only a Class C Misdemeanor so the owners don't care much and they hide most of the money.
