  1. Nahlin is a luxury yacht that was built in Scotland in 1930. She was a turbine-powered steam yacht until 2005, when she was re-fitted with a diesel–electric powertrain.
  2. I don’t understand why Williams has struggled so much. He’s been a huge disappointment so far.
  3. The coaching profession is truly a cesspool.
  4. Wait, Rex is actually Cruz in Aledo? That makes so much sense now.
  5. I see you are doubling down on your literal interpretation of what an “offer” to a 10 year old means. Do you honestly believe that presenting a “offer” to young kids involves actually pulling out official offer documents and giving them to the family? Come on. You are being completely obtuse. The point, as I already explained again in the second post to help you see your obtuseness, is that there are college programs that know who this kids is, they are following him, they are talking to the family and “offering” them scholarships. It doesn’t take much thought to understand that these offers are about as official as one would expect them to be. Good grief. And I really feel bad about not providing enough proof to satisfy the demanding posters on Surly so here :
  6. Razor’s karate man bleed on the inside comment was classic.
  7. "All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what has Choice ever done for us?"
  8. I know it sounds crazy, but schools have. She did not say what schools. Here is one from a few years ago: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2717730-9-year-old-havon-finney-jr-receives-football-scholarship-offer-from-nevada another one: https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/20924695/10-year-old-maxwell-bunchie-young-touted-next-big-thing-football-coaches-bought-in If I wasn't clear, her grandkid is a crazy talent, not a random 10 year old. I'm not saying all the programs are running around giving out scholarships to 10 year olds. The point was that a 10 year old is on the radar of a ton of schools, which is crazy.
  9. In relation to the conversation about how to recruit high school going forward, I had a really interesting conversation with a friend who is the grandmother of a 10 year old kid in California that is supposedly already getting massive recruiting attention. She’s not a huge football fan but said that a bunch of the major programs have already been hounding them and have offered scholarships. At age 10. Amazing how deep the recruiting goes these days. I asked if Texas is in there but she didn’t know.
  10. Sure, Talarico will win the primary, but now he has to spend much more in the primary than he otherwise would have. So absolutely she could be the reason he loses the general election. And the comments about either the national or Texas Democratic Party not having any control over who runs, technically that is true but that viewpoint is remarkably naive. If they really didn’t want her to run, there are a lot of tools they both have to discourage her from running. They simply did not apply the suitable pressure, either because they thought it was a good idea, or they didn’t think it was a bad idea for their party. But, it is.
  11. The bigger issue is the liquidity issues in the banking sector and the resumption of QE. Money machine goes brrrrrrr
  12. This entire post is complete horseshit.
  13. While I find Crockett entertaining, I will never forgive her now for screwing up the biggest opportunity in years to defeat the Republicans with Talarico.
  14. Great story. And eerily similar to a situation a family member faces, including the Japanese. Here’s to hoping your success leads to inspiration for them too.
