  1. If you haven’t dealt with them in the last two years on a claim, then the perspective is out of date. The number of complaints about them are skyrocketing, including from many many former employees who’ve left, disgusted. I think they will fix it, but it will take awhile.
  2. Every time I get annoyed by all this chaos I remind myself of how pissed off I was watching the cheaters buy championships. So net net it’s definitely way better for Texas these days, and to some extent the sports overall.
  3. What the hell is Bezos doing? His girlfriend is a hideous gold digger.
  4. I was able to close on a Lexus GX last week, so that I don’t have to worry about any tariffs. But if I were on a waiting list and the price went up, I’d just say eff it and walk away.
  5. I struggle every single day with slamming the club head too hard and deep into the ground on the downswing. I’ve tried to shallow the club, but just can’t consistently swing the right way. So frustrating.
  6. Went to my friend’s house this morning and drove a street over to see the damage. Aside from the damage to the homes, it was strange seeing a number of official looking people roaming around the area, with agency names I’d never heard before.
  7. Because I’m a complex human being I’m going to keep bumping this thread for years.
  8. Suck it LIV Tour!
  9. My close friend lives on Yaupon a few hundred yards from the explosion and is there now. As others have said windows are blown out frOm houses nearby, and garages mangled. Bizarre
  10. The rumor is that Bryson’s newfound humbleness and lack of douchebag characteristics is nothing but an act for cameras.
  11. Good grief, I try to catch up on this thread from the last week and it’s nothing but regards typing stupid shit.
  12. Predicting the direction of 10 year rates right now is impossible. We have multiple competing data points. Inflation is down, but has the potential to sky rocket because of US debt levels and tariff policies. Interest rates could drop like a rock as we tumble into a self-induced recession. Or, they could stay relatively the same as the yield curve normalizes. I’ve just been laddering bonds. Screw predicting. It’s impossible.
  13. I dominate this game every time I play it. I should be Secretary of Defense, not the drunk.
  14. This isn’t the worst trade in nba history. This isn’t the worst trade in sports history. This is the worst business decision in business history.
  15. Yup. The Mavs have no offense at all. If they just had an all NBA superstar who is an offensive scoring machine, instead of an aging injury prone big man who’s good for a run of the mill double double, and an aging 3 point shooter who can’t hit the broad side of the barn these days.
  16. The selection of this goober as their head coach is absolutely shocking. Even for Aggie.
  17. ya I looked up their relative ages after I typed that and found they were only 7 years apart. She looks very young in the show, and he looks like a middle aged man. Weird.
  18. No they haven’t. Trump’s economic policy is coming from a loon who somehow has a degree from Harvard. They haven’t thought thru shit. The entire US economy is built on the China supply chain. The amounts being handled elsewhere, like Vietnam, Mexico, etc is a pittance compared to China. While other countries can produce some goods cheaper than China, China has built a massive machine feeding the U.S. monster. It cannot be unwound in a few months. Period. And the negotiating approach being used by Trump with China is fundamentally the wrong cultural approach, by a mile. The Chinese will just dig in even deeper. I’ve written several posts about China elsewhere on the site, and there is only one way to deal with them. Build an entire alternative infrastructure elsewhere and then play them off against it mercilessly. But that takes a decade to build, and full government support. It ain’t happening. The one good news is that the US doesn’t sell a lot into China and never will, so if they eventually cut them off it won’t be that painful for most US companies. For a minority it will hurt badly.
  19. That really hurts. I spent a lot of time and effort on this and was so looking forward to your validation. Dammit.
