  1. This is the kind of well crafted but convoluted circular argument I would expect from a Graham/Pat catfisher.
  2. Last year was a SHIT show. And for any parents who don't know, this is not just for your rising seniors. It has to be completed every year they are in college. It is greatly improved this year in that it now imports your tax forms from the IRS instead of you having to scan in EVERY PAGE and attach it to the system. This is our second year in a row (and last) with this. Now have one College Freshman and have HS senior. What I have seen is that a lot of more middling schools (Texas Tech as an example) adds 6-8 additional essays, where I would normally not have thought they would/could do that. My guess is this is to weed out kids who would just apply to them as a safety school with no real interest. Makes less work for them to review and makes their yield numbers higher.
  3. Sad thing to happen regardless, but my money is on he was having an affair/relationship with someone who was married and husband or jilted lover is somehow the cause.
  4. Did she let you watch?
  5. What’s the old saying, “It’s a shitty Cosplay artillery man who blames his tools.”
  6. You know you’re going to be spending $500 to fix this pseudo issue that deserves nothing but the explanation you stated.
  7. I haven’t done mustard with tacos, but a spicy honey mustard with Siracha in it might be great.
  8. Fixed it.
  9. So instead of The Lottery it would be The Jizzery. Everyone on campus has to blow a sheep at one of the many the glory holes, but the catch is that 12 of the sheep are black and if you get one of those they put you into their bonfire structure and collapse it before the burn. "Thanksgiving Jizzery equals Texas victory!" instead of ''Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon. '' Do it just once and it is turdition!
  10. "We want to celebrate our baseball team who got to the most important game of the year, aggied it up, and lost! Now, let's go play the most important football game of the year (century?) for our university and see if this excellent example of aggy-ness can be continued yet again today! Huzzah! (Nut grabbing throughout the stadium) "
  11. If you don’t like this post Jesus died for nothing!
  12. Well then you’re not getting my $40!
  13. Watching the game and they played well at times and had a good comeback, but before this play I just had one calm and confident thought….”They are going to aggy this up.”
  14. Are you concerned your personality was not enough to keep people away?
  15. They are glorious!
  16. I don't dislike this...however, to say it is "free" is disingenuous. Are the professors going to take pay cuts? Are they going to sell buildings? Are they going to teach by candlelight to save electricity or are they just going to get free electricity? What this means is that someone else (tax payers or kids who's families make $100,000+) will cover those costs. If they say no, we have a big pile of money we are going to use that we just have sitting around it begs the question of how that pile of money was created and from what sources? Why is it not being used to lower tuition across the board, or improve the overall education being taught, and why was tuition too high to begin with? To the $15K per year number, my guess is that for many students who have household income below $100K they are receiving some or maybe substantial amounts of federal aids and grants (not a bad thing), so the UT system is not covering Full costs for these students but only the delta between previous aid and zero which should be significantly less. I would be curious to see the analysis done to estimate the average tuition removal for students falling into this bucket and how that compares to the average tuition paid by other students. I also can't wait to see people turn down raises or pay increases in order to continue to not broach the $100K threshold. Somewhat kidding about this, but I am sure there will be cases where people/families face this issue especially if it is not a graduated tuition break based on household income.
  17. My take: If people want to set it up before hand that is good, but after doing that and testing it...turn it off until after Thanksgiving. Wife and I have big decorations including light show with music and multiple large blow ups. We have been setting it up for the last week and testing it some at night to check bulbs/lights/radio signal and the programming. It runs when we are testing/fixing things but then is turned off. Our official "launch" is Friday after Thanksgiving with neighbors, friends, snacks, hot cocoa and baileys.
  18. You know, if we let some snakes loose on the plane it would fix this problem! Is this maybe an origin story?
  19. Or cold... Or hot... But besides this it is very robust.
  20. No, the guy reached out to shake hands across the net after the game and the douche put his paddle out there and when contact was made it came out of his hand. The guy who was assaulted reached over to pick it up and give it back to him and then he was sucker kicked. Guy who kicked him should have been beaten bloody. Fuck sucker punchers
  21. Wire cutters
  22. And also “All Hail our new Robot Overlords!”
  23. Based on where the bodies were found, the dog is likely in some shit.
  24. Not that I agree with the statement/motion, but that's not ethnic cleansing being discussed. Israel controls most of the West Bank, and the parts they don't "officially" control they really do. The lives of Palestinians who live there is vastly better than those in Gaza (even before current hostilities) as the infrastructure for roads, power, sewage, internet etc. works and is well run....by Israel. His statement (again, not saying good or bad), is more about that Israel is and has maintained de facto ownership/management of the West Bank for 50+ years and he is pushing to annex the territory to make it officially part of Israel. They wouldn't displace the Palestinians who live and work there and to the every day lives of Jews and Palestinians it would be a fairly negligible change. Politically etc, a big change.
  25. “Sociology Degree Salary in California. $57,700 is the 25th percentile. Salaries below this are outliers. $81,900 is the 75th percentile.“ So starting salary for sociology degree is 25th percentile. That is bottom 25th. Not saying job is “worthless” or you can’t make a good salary with it, but my education and social circles makes me believe that 25% is below average. However, my real point was that Sociology with a minor in Gender Studies (as an example) is a better way to have similar education while providing better opportunities as “The typical early career salary for someone with a bachelor’s degree in gender studies is $28,707, and within five years of graduation, this average salary goes up to $47,704.” So I was encouraging people to get Sociology degrees with minors/focus as I believe it provides greater options and opportunities. This is in light of the removal of degrees from the OP discussion. Sorry if my original point was unclear causing you to get defensive and jump into personal ad hominem attacks.
