  1. I think he's more lead by example. The dawning reality is that the team lacks the horses and was very lucky in the first half. They also don't appear to have any of that 2020 magic in which you could keep faith they might get hot and turn it around. If you start digging into the team stats it's more surprising they aren't in third. Arizona actually has a better run differential and they are a game below .500. I'll leave it to @Wulaw Horn or @Snake Diggity to research the best targets, but they need to an outfield version of Isaac Paredes who will grind out at bats and get on base.
  2. This was probably the weakest episode for me and relies on too many of the characters acting in inexplicably dumb ways to table set the xenomorphs going bananas.
  3. I'm a little impressed that someone has the fine motor skills to write all that on a bullet casing.
  4. I’ve long held the hope that the typical summer buying cycle might be disrupted if rates fall into attractive territory, but I will share something with the board that’s the benefit of having 40 years of experience either in the industry or growing up under someone in it. Forget about interest rates, affordability, what the Fed might do, etc. Nothing compares to employment uncertainty when it comes pulling buyers off the market.
  5. You think Crane gives a shit about who says mean things about him in the Chronicle and sports radio to their hundreds of listeners?
  6. That's the TexAgs I'm talking about! Now do SEC Rant!
  7. I’ve been going back and forth on this-I think the fact he appears to have only taken the single shot might argue against military training. Most Marines (non-sniper variety) would have had drilled in to put two in the chest before trying for a head shot.
  8. USMC used to rifle qual at 500 with iron sights. If the shooter has a good scope that's zero'd in it shouldn't be too hard a shot for someone with experience.
  9. You need only visit TexAgs, Tiger Droppings or SEC Rant to see ample evidence that any just rewards haltingly celebrated here is far, far less common than the gleeful rejoicing at every "Libtard" tear, every indignity complained of by a person of color, or sexual/gender orientation, every boiled over frustration at the hypocrisy of the right. And those, presumably, are the educated ones. I'm not sure why we should hate getting burned but the arsonist is off limits.
  10. She wouldn’t be running against Trump. Paxton, for example, ain’t got that kind of rizz.. That’s old school thinking and not learning the lessons from the victors. You don’t make friends with Rogan, you antagonize him relentlessly. You can be friendly with Theo Vonn and others in that same demographic group, but if you want clout you need a villain.
  11. I don’t see how that’s good for mortgage rates.
  12. Devil’s Advocate-Talarico (or candidate X) may need the experience and network building opportunity of running in a higher profile race in order to have a better chance of winning something less high profile (Texas AG or comptroller or Ag Commissioner). I do think the future of the party in the state is running younger candidates without the imprimatur of Ivy League education that veil themselves in being business friendly.
  13. I actually think Eva Longoria is the more likely, and more electable, candidate. I’m not sure what kind of 4D chess could be played, but if I’m the Texas Trial Lawyer’s Association I would entertain supporting a spoiler like Allen West running as an independent.
  14. I've been on record here as bearish on Talarico and I think this is a little hyperbolic. He scratches the itch of mostly secular and loosely Christian liberals and has a lot of the same "why doesn't the working man see it?" energy as Elizabeth Warren. A better candidate is going to emerge at some point (not necessarily this election cycle) and it'll be because he/she is fun and has an intuitive skill at grabbing attention. On the bright side, if he is the nominee I bet he outperforms David Alameel.
  15. Cutting and pasting the 9/7 Ezra Klein piece on the Democrats general failure because he brings up several really good points. TL:DR, the Democrat leadership has no balls and should use the debt ceiling negotiation as leverage toward something that energizes their base (he suggests protecting Medicare, which I think is a mistake, or corruption, which I prefer). Also, he basically says if the government burns down playing a game of chicken with the GOP then you have to accept that as a possible outcome if you want to play politics with them.
  16. I’d at least like we know what kind of upgrade we could get at $1.2m…
  17. Also, not to go full Lobo but George P was there, too, as long as we’re talking about shit political instincts.
  18. I just heard him speak a month or so ago and I don’t think he wants it or has the base level political aptitude needed in the modern MAGA media environment. Plus he’s making bank serving on boards (he mentioned Lazard several times) and the bullshit to income is FAR better than mixing it up with Paxton and then feigning obeisance to Schumer. That said, more the merrier in the primary, imo.
  19. new Gemini prompt to include Elon Musk:
  20. Eric Johnson, fan, hmmmm?
  21. Haha, I was waiting for someone to start commenting on the redesign. Gemini just made this one in three seconds for free: Or this one if you're feeling weird. or this one if you want to find out how fast Bellmont's attorneys can draft a cease and desist.
  22. I received a TMJ diagnosis last fall and tried Botox without success (they should it into the jaw muscles in the hope they will be less activated). Now I’m using a dentist made mouth guard and it appears to have worked, though it took about a month of wearing it before the results were noticeable.
  23. Yes, I’ve lived in San Antonio and I would definitely not call it Europe, you’re correct it has its own issues.
  24. No way, go to Europe. They are awesome to hop between major cities. I’m half-joking, but I’ve said for years that San Antonio should offer to pay the cost of building one to Austin so they can capture tech overflow and weekender-type tourists.
  25. Hah, my wife was just talking about this last week and is now convinced we need to start a business. It is helping her obsess less over the frequency of my visits to Taco Deli, thankfully.
