  1. I think if it was someone coaching tonight, they would have waited until tomorrow to announce Pierce's departure.
  2. I drive it a lot between west loop and Kirby. It’s smooth. they repaved around us a few years ago.
  3. It's the people rail would bring in. Lot of bums. We don't need more of them.
  4. It’s good in our neighborhood. They repaved a few years ago. People now drive too fast sans pot holes. Especially until they reach the UP railroad tracks.
  5. Is there something fundamentally wrong with the design? Because this line seems akin to Greg Davis and Mack claiming the players were failing to execute against OU.
  6. If it is Schloss, and if A&M loses to Tennessee, that would be hilarious. They would blame him being distracted (and us) for the loss.
  7. What is LLM? Is it a type of AI?
  8. We just switched to Lexis. It is about half of what Westlaw charges. And I use their AI as a starting point on legal research. Like this morning I had a client ask if they as a LP under Delaware law could sue to force a buyout for oppressive conduct by the GP (and majority equity holder) when the LPA contains no provision. Lexis AI got me the answer in 10 seconds. And it was right. It is just a starting point and you better confirm, but so far it has been a very nice tool. WL's natural language search was garbage, and I never used it. Boolean all the way.
  9. Maybe to pick up a first down once or twice a game when he can do so without taking a big hit / sliding. But generally speaking, I'd rather the ball be in the hands of our weapons, which we have a ton of -- Bond, Cook, Golden, Bolden, Niblack, Moore, Wingo, Blue, Baxter, etc.
  10. They have one of the finest Kroger Signatures in these United States a/k/a Kyle Field
  11. As someone who lives in Afton Oaks, I am thankful Culbertson killed that. Rail down Richmond would have killed the neighborhood. Richmond is the one decent east-west road in the city.
  12. Dozens of people a day use the Bart line on Post Oak.
  13. My Jewish buddies with daughters get popped twice. Once for the Bat Mitzvah and once for the wedding. They cost about the same, from what I hear.
  14. Or just do it in Harris County, where we decriminalize most crimes now.
  15. Yep. A lot of mediocre talent and teams that run easy to defend schemes from the 1980s
  16. I am telling you from experience, doing it at your own place does not save you money if you have a lot of guests and if you want to feed them and get them boozed up. (As for the booze, we had busses for all my drunk friends as we went back to Houston that night and after-partied at the St Regis).
  17. I have been to far more extravagant weddings. Plenty of people spend half a million to millions on weddings. I went to an Indian wedding with days of events that had to cost a million last summer. It is a waste of money. If I could do it all over, I would cut my guest list in half and spend a month in St Barth instead of two weeks.
  18. Don't they burn cane fields in Florida?
  19. Yep. And this was 20 years ago. My mom went overboard. She has plenty of cash, though. Looking back, she knows she did it more for her than my sister. She is a lot wiser these days.
  20. We had our reception at our ranch (married at a pretty church nearby). Let me tell you, that costs more than a wedding venue. Because you have to pay for someone to provide tables, chairs, every piece of silverware, linen, chaffing dishes, plate, etc. Whereas a venue has all that shit on hand. We had 300 guests and it was a lot of fun. I do not regret spending the money. But we certainly were careful with what we spent. It still cost probably $80k all in and my wife and I paid. Flowers, food, booze, servers, photography, comfort stations/restrooms, transpo to and from chapel nearby, band, and a million different little things. I did not spend the extra $15k for a tent. We had perfect weather. 60 degrees, clear skies, and no wind. But man we were sweating rain in the preceding weeks. My sister got married at our ranch also but our parents paid that. Hers cost triple what mine did.
  21. The Blackberry circa 2008 or so is about the sweet spot. I loved that phone. Easy as hell to type on -- I used to type long ass legal memos or email responses when needed. Battery lasted forever. Durable and no need for case. You could access the internet for necessities but the interface was shitty enough that there was no way you would be staring at it all day. Good mapping feature. If you could add music to it, I would go back to it in a heartbeat.
  22. If he's not, he's on the Mount Rushmore. I think he is.
  23. Not sure if Luck would have been a great AD -- clearly any fool would have been better than Steve Patterson. But I am happy with the guy we have now.
