  1. Flipping between Astros and Rangers. The Rangers broadcast is just way more subdued, almost boring.
  2. It’s a tragic story, because he supposedly was a pretty good kid that fell into the wrong crowd on the team (Joseph?). But if you’d brought enough weed for all of us, then maybe none of this would have happened.
  3. If we are all complaining about boomers never leaving office, shouldn’t we also be complaining about how worthless Gen X has been in not being able to beat out all these olds for public office? Signed, A rare member of both Gen X and the Boomer generation
  4. After watching McCarthy’s confirmation process and vote, I’ve concluded that he could be one of the weakest speakers in history.
  5. Today was not a surprise. I really felt that the Europeans were playing much better golf coming into this. Didn’t even wake up to watch it. I didn’t want to ride the Spiethcoaster. Every week on tour is enough.
  6. Every time I come back to this thread I just end up shaking my head, wondering how there can be people like this out there.
  7. It’s messing up his baseball contract negotiations.
  8. If people don’t start spelling HIPAA right I’m going to chamber a round.
  9. I forget the dudes name that used that term. Bill in Sinton? But here’s some trivia. I held the Twitter focusness user name for many years. I think I finally dumped it or lost the password to the account.
  10. To be a little more balanced, painting all franchises as bad is a littler over the top. I have a friend that just cashed out $200m as a franchisee. I’ve also known many other successful franchisees. However the odds are tough.
  11. Clearly they are suing under the HIPPA Act, not the HIPAA Act.
  12. Yes. For sure. And if possible, a top school MBA, because his job out of MBA school will put him on an accelerated management track. As far as the functional roles, it depends on the industry. If it’s tech, get on the product side for awhile, in product management for example. If it’s a consumer goods company, it’s the brand manager.
  13. Man there’s a crazy bond guy I’ve been following for about a year and a half now and he has been dead accurate on where interest rates are headed. He says the 10 year tops out between 5-5.5. Has consistently said this for awhile.
  14. Gardner Barnes has the guts to say what no one else will.
  15. Some terrific comments and insights here. I just spent the last two days digging thru the zoning changes, talking with architects, developers, construction crews, other realtors, and driving thru (again) several neighborhoods going thru redevelopment. This change is pretty dramatic. I’ll be listing some homes in the next few months that would be impacted by all this, so I’ve developed some strategies for helping sellers get max value from their sale. I’m also now looking at it from the buyer side as an investor to put together some investments in the market over time. It’s not a given that this will actually create much more affordable housing, but theoretically it should help. The opposing view is the trampling of personal property rights. And it would suck having a 9 unit mini-condo complex going up on your next door neighbor’s lot that was scraped. Because that could theoretically happen to most single family houses in Austin from what I understand.
  16. In thinking about this further, and recognizing the number of dumb ass idiots out there believing all of the disinformation and propaganda of today, I’d like to not only retract my statement, but declare that cybertruck will be a huge success because…people gonna people.
  17. So I can’t see anyone dumb enough to buy the cybertruck. If and when that fails, won’t it completely devastate the Austin location of Tesla and oretty much destroy a major growth driver for the city?
  18. Thanks for the input. I don’t understand why I can’t find this zoning information on the Austin website. It’s ridiculous.
  19. Does anyone understand the recent and future proposed Austin Single family zoning changes? I’ve tried to find them on the web but the City of Austin just shows Access Denied on their website. it is my understand they made changes in 2019/2020 to allow more density, and are about to do it again
  20. Porterhouse and others have come in with so many bad takes I couldn’t figure out which posts to neg. There were 49 NFL players on the field between USC and Texas. 49! So STFU about the 2023 Texas team, at least until they’ve done something. Anything. Stupid effing takes.
  21. And Bobino seemed like he was at Texas for about 8 years.
  22. This is not going to happen. The rest of the world has to deal with higher real estate expenses. It’s now hit the US due to wealth inequality and the massive amounts of cash directed towards SFH as an investment. This is the new reality.
