  1. The big 10 should kick them out and the ncaa should make them join the pac 12 starting in 2024.
  2. Is the 1 person motion to vacate rule for all speakers moving forward for this term or was it just for Mccarthy . How many is it normally?
  3. Ive set my expectations incredibly low because I have seen this movie before, and the sequel. I hope it works out but my excitement for the playoffs is gone. 4-1 is probably the best we can hope for unless Quinn comes back for Iowa St. vs BYU - toss up vs KSt - toss up @ TCU - W @Iowa St - L vs Tech - W
  4. Yea I talked to my brother. He does this kind of stuff and he said for sure fix the curb. Thats what it is called. And to show him the video of the tub faucet install, but in a nice way. He told me not to get to anxious or upset. The only thing I am losing is time. If he has to redo the tub intall 50 times, then thats what he will have to do.
  5. Need some advice, Im starting to get some anxiety. Our GC and his team measured the lip (walk in) of our shower incorrectly by about 1/2 an inch and my wife just noticed it yesterday after they had tiled. Its like 26 inches on the right side and 25.5 in on the left from wall to lip. Now that I see it, its noticeably crooked but they have basically finished the shower. The other major issue is they have now had to restart the plumbing for the bath 2x. My wife was concerned about 10 days ago about how the bath tub plumbing would work. She wanted to show the GC a video of our specific bath faucet and how to install and I told her it would be an insult to the GC (my mistake). She ended up just asking him about it that day any way and he ended up redoing the plumbing. She was still concerned a few days ago (after the first redo) and made him look at our tub and now they are in the middle of redoing it again. They had to dig up the new tile that was already completed and are moving the plumbing again. Mind you this is not my wife asking him to redo anything. She just asked him TWICE how the plumbing would work and both times he ended up changing what he had done. And she is STILL concerned and now I am as well. So, what do I need to do? I am a laid back guy and am not a plumber but now I am not only concerned but Im getting more and more pissed off. I did not go behind these guys every fucking step of the way and make sure they were doing it correctly. I didnt want to be that home owner. And now I feel like their laziness/ineptitude has cost me some sanity. We have been displaced for 3 weeks now as one of their guys got covid last week and we were out of town the week before. I want to have them redo the shower lip on their own dime. I want to show this guy that video of the install of our bath faucet and have him verbally tell me EXACTLY how he plans to do it. I want to hire another contractor and have this guy babysit the GC I have now and have our current GC foot the bill or else Im not paying him the remaining 70% of the remodel. Which of these next steps is warranted and which is just me being too pissed off to think right now. We cant even use our master bedroom because of the dust for the past 3 weeks. And her parents are coming in on Tuesday and when we started 4 weeks ago our GC assured me they would be done well before then.
  6. S&P 500 closed below its 200 day moving average today. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-jones-10-20-2023/card/s-p-500-closes-below-200-day-moving-average-uiuwICarQNppSQ1whLOn?mod=finance_lcmarkets_pos1 From Google bard FWIW Since 1950, the S&P 500 has closed below its 200-day moving average 38 times. Of those 38 times, 31 have resulted in a bear market, which is about 80% of the time.
  7. Well I just asked Google bard what texas's odds were to make the playoffs and it told me 38.7% chance and a 98% chance if we win out.

    Colonoscopy

    Had my first one done a couple months ago. Im 48. Family history of polyps and colon ca. 1 polyp that was not pre-cancerous. 5 years in from here on out. Very happy I did it. I talked to the MD and once a pre cancerous polyp forms it takes 3-7 years on average for it to 'possibly' turn in to stage 1 cancer. For my first 48 years, Im batting a thousand.
  9. The human race is reaching their Peter principle.
  10. So who am i giving my $400 a year to now to prepare my family's taxes? What a scam.
  11. I'm tired of looking up words every time you create one of your existential threads. Negged.
  12. So for our lawyer friends here. Do you get charged if you "bag" a Bigfoot and it turns out to be some frat kid in a costume.
  13. Its awesome when the first quote of an eye witness account is "I see something. I think it's Bigfoot."
  14. I say UT everywhere. They better damn well know what I'm talking about. And they do.
  15. It's this exactly. Even if a few politicians see this, the majority wont or will not act. Congress needs to vote to move setting the budget and taxing its citizens to an appointed body of experts. I have always thought they need to move it to the fed and have fed set the budget, at a minimum. If there is a better solution, Im all for it but I cant see it. Congress wont do it because they wont be re-elected and the majority of the US population is too stupid (both left and right) to know something needs to be done. Better now than when the debt hits 50 trillion ( which is where I heard the shit will really hit the fan ).
  16. I would say get out and vote then, but it's Louisiana so this seems like a 'nothing to see here" story for them.
  17. Speaking of grass, which is best for sustained 100+F heat for months on end with little to no rain? I don't want Bermuda. Zoysia? St augustine is not the answer. I've lost it both in 2011 and 2022/2023. I'm looking to replace again. Preferably seeded with little watering required to start. Is there such a grass? Maybe I should develop one...
  18. Chat GPT just told me this The absence of a Speaker of the House is a significant disruption to the legislative process. It means that the House cannot pass any bills, and it also means that the House cannot investigate or impeach the president.
