Kind of like he would be able to do with NIL at Texas if we prioritized it?
Texas fans would take 3 Elite 8s, 5 2nd weekend appearances, and 5 conference championships in a heartbeat. Please give us the results that Miller produced at Arizona.
Texas ran Rick Barnes out of town with a much better tourney record than that.

Can somebody explain why some are so negative about Sean Miller?
The only time he's struggled is at the end of his Arizona tenure when they were in hot water with the NCAA (his doing of course). His floor is NCAA tournament caliber teams and with Arizona-type talent he can probably get you to some Elite 8s/further.
Ramp up NIL with Sean Miller seems far from a bad hire.
Only making it out of the first round 5 out of 12 seasons is pretty underwhelming when he was able to hand Adidas a shopping list of recruits

Gonna be awhile with that most likely.
The city is the holdup right now for putting in stands behind left field due to that stupid road that only goes to the parking garage (that the majority of baseball fans now can't even use 😡). UT owns the land on both sides of the road (ballfield to tennis courts) and wants to to move the scoreboard in left farther back to put in seats behind the left field wall with the scoreboard moved farther back behind them, but due to the city balking on closing/giving up the road right now that isn't even happening.
Backing up the I35 access road (or MLK) with all the garage traffic would be a shitshow so I can understand why the city would oppose that road behind the left field wall being closed.

Yep - The Rural Rs in the House haven’t gotten onboard yet. Hopefully they continue holding out.
They still don't have the votes but it's a fairly thing margin. Assuming this next special goes nowhere, Abbott is going to call them back after the new year in the middle of primaries to really try to put the screws to the holdouts.

The only way he doesn't go home is if something like the Scary-verse pipes up and removes him to the nether region and won't allow the previous HOH to be in the house for a week or something along those lines. The producers want him to stay SOOOO bad.
At some point they're going to have to account for losing a person unexpectedly by either doing a non-elimination week or a battle back of some form. The first two evictees are for sure done since Julie told them about Cirie and Jared.

Dallas federal courts and their judges have been weird in my limited experience. Had a case where the judge did not allow me and defense to agree on an Ad Litem and assigned their own (we had already agreed on an Ad Litem privately). Ended up having to do most of the work because Ad Litem drug her feet beyond belief. Show up to the hearing 5 months after original case settled and the judge didn’t agree with the Ad Litem’s recommendation and now ordered us back to put together a structured deal for minor, opposite of recommendation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They also require local counsel and the mailing of paper copies of motions and responses. They’re a scourge (as are pretty much all Dallas lawyers).-

I'd sincerely like to see the verdict sheet and jury instructions. Reports are 3.5M punitives against SWA and about 1M total against the union. Sounds like unconstitutional punitives to me.
Funny thing. In 30 years of practice, I don't believe I have ever seen a Dallas federal jury. Conceivably, they could be old and white af. Dallas County jurors by and large are not, pretty diverse and pretty balanced.
A Dallas federal jury is going to draw from Ellis, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Navarro, and Rockwall Counties in additional to Dallas County so yeah, it's going to tend to be a lot whiter and a lot more conservative.

Re Allstate, it's a sample size of one but I had a claim from them in 2020 that had no problems. Granted, it was in an area that was declared a disaster area by the state due to a huge hail storm (pretty much every house within a half mile of me got a new roof) so there might have been pressure from the Minnesota state regulators but I got all new roof, gutters, skylights etc. with no questions asked.
Since the roof was already pretty old and at the end of its useful life, my pocketbook was not upset with that turn of events.
i can't speak to their homeowners claims but on auto liability claims, I have to sue Allstate insureds more frequently than any other insurer so if you carry Allstate and hit someone, you're likely to find yourself in a lawsuit.

You are the one that accused pilotserror of making a narrative up and now you are being defensive about him not making the narrative up because the earnings call is where they state these things.
I said it sounded like he was making a narrative up and asked where he'd heard those things. You then acted like listening to earnings calls is some sort of normal activity.
But now you've got me curious. So when was the earnings call where they issued a denial that they've ever encouraged password sharing? Was it on that same call that they scolded people for doing it or was that a different call?

I don't care if they allow password sharing or not, it's the whole pretending they never encouraged the users to share the passwords and are now scolding everyone for it. Fuck off. Don't act like you weren't being a slut for years, Netflix.
When did they pretend that? And when did they scold anyone? This feels like a narrative that exists purely in your mind.

Donna Howard, Vikki Goodwin, Gina Hinojosa, Lulu Flores... all old-style Austin liberals who voted against SB 1412 (by right ADU). NIMBY bullshit ain't gonna help Austin affordability, but I guess it helps with the Karens in the neighborhood associations. I hope they all get primaried for some Dems who actually give a damn about the housing crisis. Caveman degrowthers shit up just means another 20k of sprawl in Liberty Hill.
I think it's possible that vote goes differently if local control hadn't been on such constant attack this session.

Man, Heidi really fucked that up.
If she was going to play her idol, then all she had to do to guarantee a Tikka 3 went home was vote with Jaime and Lauren for Carolyn. It leads to 3-3 tie, putting Yam-Yam and Carson in a position where they either have to vote Carolyn on the re-vote or it’s a another tie between Jaime and Carolyn where the only people drawing rocks are Yam-Yam and Carson.-

I was rooting for Frannie but she's one of the dumber smart people to ever be on this show.
I don't think she really anticipated being good at challenges and got so excited about the prospect of winning them that she got her boyfriend sent home by winning one she should have thrown and then got herself sent home by winning a worthless award challenge.

If you own a boat, you might only need to hook it up to your truck once or twice a year. But when you need to do it, you need the truck. Same with towing a camper, a tractor, or a horse trailer or whatever else the fuck private citizens deem worthwhile in their lives that .
Even if someone never uses their truck as a truck and they just prefer to drive a truck, why does that matter to other people?
Large trucks and SUVs use more fuel, can make parking lot a pain in the ass when they can't fit inside the lines, and are significantly more dangerous to other vehicles and pedestrians.

As others have said, the trailer is bad. If I hadn't loved the book, there's no chance I would have gone to see it, but it was really good.

The would be robber was not murdered.
Unless he was already dead before the final shot, this was questionably murder, without justification, under Texas law.
There is no legitimate argument that the final shot was immediately necessary to protect himself or others from unlawful force nor is there any legitimate argument that the final shot was immediately necessary to prevent the imminent commission of a robbery or his fleeing.
There is also absolutely no question that the first four shots were justified.
The only real grey areas here, legally or factually, are whether the second group of shots was justified and when exactly in the series of shots did he actually die.-

Go to the pistol waving would be robber’s funeral and weep for his stupid ass.
Dude showed up at a tiny little taqueria to do an armed robbery on some small hand to mouth business full of workaday patrons.
He got shot dead for his efforts.
He knew the risks.
He lost.
Don’t do armed robberies.
I know this is a controversial take with you inbred fucks but I’m actually anti-murder across the board, even if the victim is a piece of shit.-

Lynching? Really?
Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
The motherfucker was menacing and robbing these people at gunpoint and got what he deserved. Justifiably by law.
Of course, the shooter had no knowledge that THE ROBBER HAD PREVIOUSLY KILLED A SHOP OWNER 10 YEARS EARLIER DURING AN AGGRAVATED ROBBERY, but that fact only appears to amplify that the shooter’s instinct to eliminate the threat was correct.
The DA declined to press charges and instead referred it to a Grand Jury. And you are right - he will most likely walk. As he should, in my opinion.
It wasn’t murder, it was homicide.
https://www.khou.com/article/news/crime/taqueria-shooter-questioned-released/285-20e66d3c-8568-42e5-ada2-826b60053220
HOUSTON — The Houston Police Department said homicide investigators questioned the customer who shot and killed a man who robbed a southwest Houston restaurant last week.
On Monday, a day after an attorney claiming to represent the customer said his client was ready to talk, HPD said that the 46-year-old man was questioned by homicide detectives. He was not arrested or charged and his name was not released
What do you call an extrajudicial execution if not a lynching?-

The robber was technically dead before the last shot probably, so does the last shot really count on a murder charge?
This is the only actual legal defense the shooter has. But if he accelerated the death by even a millisecond with that final shot, that is unquestionably a murder. The need for defense, defense of others, or defense of property had long passed. That was just an extrajudicial execution at that point.
I’m also fairly certain he’ll walk because there’s nothing Texans love more than a good old fashioned lynching.-
