    So looking for a place to take the wife on Saturday for our anniversary.  Staying downtown, so close to that area is a plus but not an absolute requirement.  Open to any types of cuisine.  What say you?

    Pasta Bar

    Jeffreys

    Comedor

    Barley Swine

    Luties (if your wife is white)

    Uchiko

    cocktails before or after at Prelude.

  2. the various preceding rankings are amusing given that the top and bottom pix are the same woman. thylane blondeau.

    here's the best she ever looked imo. but they did some makeup/editing magic to her tits to make them look bigger than they are.

    Are you suggesting Jaime Dimon doesn't understand markets and stability because a snippet of what he said about stability was quoted and it is a captain obvious statement (which is also technically correct)?

    I'm genuinely trying to understand how Dimon is catching strays on Trump sucking. Especially considering Dimon is a sometimes public, but always closeted, democrat. Between 1989 and 2009 he donated more than 12x the amount to Democratic candidates than to R's. 

    Like most of us here in Texas (and even moreso if you are in certain industries like manufacturing and oil and gas) Dimon takes on a professionally nonpartisan stance in most firm-representing and related matters.

    i suspect it is more about dimon being just another public personality with no accountability for anything he says or does and shamelessly heel turning when it starts to impact him. recall that this was him in january of this year:

    Quote

    Tariffs are “an economic tool” or “an economic weapon,” depending on how they’re used, said Dimon, head of JPMorgan Chase, in an interview Wednesday with CNBC from Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum is taking place. “I would put in perspective: If it’s a little inflationary, but it’s good for national security, so be it. I mean, get over it.”

    Here is a great link. In less than a minute and a half, Marco Rubio explains why we have to defend Ukraine.  This is from 2014.  Marco, of course, is a two-faced bitch.  Glad we have the receipts. 

     

     


     

    as if receipts matter.

    the vice fucking president of the united states was recorded saying that the president of the united states was an "idiot," "reprehensible," and "america's hitler."

    we are through the looking glass on any of that. if you have no shame and you have no ethical foundation, nothing matters.

    You'll all be shocked to hear that I disagree slightly with Jeff's answer.  The question is too general.

    Waymo and Tesla are taking two different approaches.  At the moment, Waymo is focused on an approach that is trying to solve for autonomous driving limited to surface streets in urban areas.  Their solution is only applicable in geo-fenced areas that have been meticulously mapped by LIDAR. Tesla is aiming to build a more generally applicable autonomous driving solution that is not limited to pre-mapped areas.

    Waymo is more advanced on the path towards a limited level 4/5 certification.

    It's arguable that Waymo is more advanced in its commercial application of its chosen solution.  One could argue that from a revenue standpoint, Tesla is on par with their FSD package purchases and monthly subscriptions.

    It's also arguable that Waymo is more advanced in it's practical application.  There are significantly more Tesla FSD vehicles on the road than Waymo vehicles.

    And finally, it's arguable that Waymo has a more advanced technical solution at this point.  My FSD Tesla does low speed, non-highway driving right now.  It can also drive on the highway, which Waymo does not.

     

    All that said... Musk is running the company into the ground and Tesla's FSD could likely be a casualty of this shitshow. 

     

    okay, i understand what you are saying about the difference between the camera and lidar approach and the ability to operate within a completely mapped, contained perimeter vs. a truly automated driver that can go anywhere and any speed (which seems questionable). i get that they are different approaches and the limitations imposed may create the ability to deliver the achieved goal quicker and more "easily."

    as a non-tesla driver, i am curious - can you right now take your tesla to 5th and west lynn, turn on fsd, and get to say 15th and trinity without ever doing a thing besides sitting their doom scrolling surly?

    serious question for you...i drive around lamar somewhere between 5th and windsor a million times a week and every other car i see on lamar these days is a driverless waymo. they seem to drive around fine. are they more advanced than whatever shit tesla is probably fucking up right now or what? it seems like they have it somewhat figured out...at least for low-speed, non-highway driving.

    "Let's turn our airline into a facsimile of United/Delta/AA, except without international routes, business class, or a global alliance membership". What a big brain move. Pure genius.

    Honestly - and no offense to anyone present - the more time goes by, the more I think that business school must be easy as fuck. Pay us $150k, color in this coloring book for two years, and you too can run Southwest Airlines some day!

    as an mba graduate from the university of by god texas at austin, tell me you haven't gone to business school without telling me you haven't gone to business school.

    a coloring book would have to be graded on a curve.

  8. i understand why the last two episodes frustrate certain viewers and i did not care for a lot of the gemma episode...particularly the mental and emotional torture.

    but this episode was far more important and relevant...and while frustrating that we did not get any plot advancement per se (and it was a bit slow moving and totally cinematography focused), that episode was critical for laying the predicate for not only cobel's heel turn on lumon, but also for her unique capacity and ability for what's next - which is to aid in mark's mid-reintegration shitshow after asal said fuck it, i'm out.

    One of the InfoWars reporters was murdered in Austin last night. His body was found at an apartment complex parking lot. Police have released no details. That hasn't kept Alex from invoking George Soros, though. 

    He is a twisted, sick fuck.

    if i was on twitter, i would start pestering him in reply to this post as to whether he actually believes this dumbfuck was murdered or if it was totally faked and that he (Jones) is just another fucking paid crisis actor being paid by federal law enforcement for a classified training exercise.

    Tell me about this porn board. 

    I'm still curious about the post in the wrong thread, though.

    Well, shit... what a sensitive asshole I am. (No Johnny foosball Mom reference)

    Never really paid attention to removals - do they leave a trace? There's always a few edited blank except with a ne'er mind here and there. Had a few, myself, then was too late to edit.

     

    unlike i was, you are definitely in the right thread.

    If I'm taking that wrongly, I apologize, but I assume that was meant for my post. I'm not sure why you feel the need to play thread police, and particularly so when you fail to offer an alternate thread. It should come as no surprise to see you were currently hanging out in CR when I looked.

    Again, if "wrong thread" was about some other post, I apologize.

    Nothing to do with your post. It was intended as an edit note convention that is common throughout this site in which a substantive post is inadvertently made in the wrong thread and would otherwise appear to be a non sequitur since deleting the post is not an option.

    feel free to weirdly surveil my next site visit location on the porn board if you like.
