  1. After a very unscientific study on the impact of beer glass shapes on the taste of beer, I have concluded there is an impact, and this shape is the one that makes a beer taste the best. This is science and in no way a figment of my imagination.

    Getting old sucks

    Having dealt with a relative who developed dementia, for many years it was very difficult to see that something wasn’t right. But I would strongly suggest you turn over any finances you manage to someone else because dementia can cause some terrible decision making even early on in some cases.
  3. Watched Paycheck with Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman. Great premise. Good cast. Terrible execution. Got dumb. Endless fight scenes. Some of the worst acting by Uma Thurman I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Now I don’t wanna go off on a rant here, but I just realized John Woo is one of the worst, most over-rated directors in history. He takes good casts, scripts with interesting premises, and turns them into movies with not only bad acting, but horrifically epically bad acting, dumb plots, and endless boring fight scenes. Besides Paycheck, he directed Face Off, Broken Arrow, and Mission Impossible 2, the worst of the MI series. Getting fired by Tom Cruise should tell you something. Each of his movies leave me frustrated with having to see him waste acting talent and good script concepts. That is all.
  4. Cody Campbell the Tech billionaire supposedly gave $55m to Tech for NIL stuff, which is one reason Ojo went Tech. He will be on The Ticket tomorrow to discuss his plan with the Trump Administration to “fix” college sports. 🏈
  5. My solution is exactly what immamac is already doing with one exception: a bunch of unreasonable whiners on the threads start acting like adults instead of 13 year old pre-teen idiots.
  6. Fuck that. All day long I see the echo chambers on Reddit where dumbshits of the left and the right, each in their own echo chamber forums, get delusional about reality because the moderators of those threads eliminate all facts and information that are counter to the benefit of their “team”. Your idea is a terrible one, and it’s that type of thinking why we have all these problems in the first place.
  7. Just a reminder that in every recession, employment is the LAST to go. That’s why real estate markets usually see a 12-36 month delay from when the economy heads south. Right now the economy is being steered into a recession by administration policies, but the good news is that because the spending bill is so fiscally irresponsible, a recession could be delayed or avoided by simply addressing all the other activities of the administration that are recession oriented: tariffs, uncertainty of decision making, foreign policy blunders, etc. Of course long term the country is even more fucked, but for the next 3 years they can just push the rock to the next administration…
  8. It’s been a rough summer so far, and normally I’d be pretty bummed about their recruiting results so far, but for some strange reason I just feel like it will work out being a really good class once we see the finish and the results on the field.
  9. The one coming across as a whiny little brat…
  10. I never heard of this guy until a few hours ago, so I’m going to go ahead and declare him to be a critical missing piece to the roster who will have a huge impact on the team’s success this year. All joking aside, it seems like every elite college team has an inside bruiser who can play physical down in the box. I’ve been wishing for that for Texas for years. We’ve had a few guys somewhat like that, but if this guy could fill that role it would be huge imo.
  11. I always read that complaint from the CR crowd, but personally I haven’t seen it. Not saying it’s not happening. I just haven’t noticed it. And it’s difficult for me to believe @immamac is doing much of that because he’s politically pretty reasonable. Bob too.
  12. I agree with @immamac. It’s fairly straightforward to figure out what becomes CR and what is just news, for the most part. And while I dislike the maga crowd with the heat of a thousand suns, I don’t want to scroll thru news threads and constantly have to read the same 10-20 posters bitch about the stupidity of the Republican Party. Why not? Because they are doing so many stupid things these days it’s turned into a constant barrage of stupidity. Every fucking day Trump and his staff do something stupid, illegal, or immoral. And people, myself included, just can’t take that misery constantly every day. It’s too depressing. Just keep that shit in a CR thread and it’s manageable.
  13. It’s hard for me to hold parents responsible for not looking deeper into the flood safety procedures of these camps, when just five days ago I made a reservation on the Blanco River in an RV park and never once thought about the flood risk.
  14. Culpable? He’s probably why Finley did it.
  15. Every stupid thing a kid does is a data point about his or her character. Doesn’t necessarily mean they will suck as athletes for their college, but odds are odds.
  16. Did Austin firefighters deploy to Liberty Hill and Georgetown? Because I know for a fact that Round Rock firefighters deployed to Liberty Hill and performed numerous water rescues and evacuations.
  17. I don’t think King George is Rex.
  18. Admit you spent 9 hours crafting your post.
  19. Yes, I mentioned it above somewhere. San Saba is tore up on the east side and the river is still very wide and flowing hard.
  20. San Saba county has a flood warning until 7 pm Tuesday.
  21. Pouring in leander
  22. Just drove thru San Saba. Lots of out of town fire trucks in the area. The San Saba River is swollen big. Floods cut thru on east side of town. And it’s pouring rain a mile east of town. Fortunately it’s moving east.
  23. Do those apps cause the Apple Watch battery to burn down fast? I’m unclear whether it’s turning on the gps, or using gps from the iPhone.
