  1. So ... put Justus Terry is a silent commit?
  2. Not trying to humblebrag, but for crazy reasons unknown to me, I have two credit cards that, together, amount to 100k of credit. I pay them off every month, so there's almost always 100k of credit available to me. I've always thought that if I get some bad news vis a vis cancer or some other ailment, I'm going to go to Paris or Bora Bora, check into an expensive hotel, go to the best restaurants, drink and and dance as long and as hard as I can, and then shuffle off this mortal coil, leaving my last bill unpaid. At least, that's what I think about doing. But then there's this conflicting thought: I've had credit cards for more than 40 years and have never paid a penny of interest on any of them because I pay them off every month. I'd feel bad knowing that I was going to break my streak. My FICO score didn't just build itself, damnit!
  3. After seeing that 500 .lb player that Florida has playing situationally, I'm thinking that maybe there's a place for Sydir in certain moments at Texas.
  4. Because libraries are one of the few places you can go and be inside and spent large amounts of time without paying for anything or having to have a membership, librarians ----- LIBRARIANS! ---- are now being threatened, having to do medical interventions, dealing with the homeless etc .... From the article: On social media, Mychal Threets was spreading the gospel of “library joy” to hundreds of thousands of followers. Known for his energetic delivery and signature Afro, Mr. Threets showed off the book-themed tattoos covering his arms and evangelized about the pleasure of reading while cradling one of his cats. Viewers found his enthusiasm for literature infectious, and he got a kick out of drawing in young readers. But at his job, as a supervisor at the Fairfield Civic Center Library in Solano County, Calif., he was facing new challenges. The library, which he had begun visiting as a child, had become a gathering place for people experiencing issues like homelessness, drug dependence and mental illness. Some of his duties had little to do with cataloging books and recommending titles. Over a year, Mr. Threets said, he filed more than 170 incident reports documenting how library patrons had acted out: property damage, harassment, physical altercations. “There were several instances where people would get in my face and kind of threaten to physically push me,” Mr. Threets said. At one point, he added, a patron threatened to kill him multiple times — visitors pulled knives on each other, too. His anxiety and depression, both present since childhood, had worsened. And he faced an impossible dilemma: What do you do when the pressures of your profession are harming your mental health? In March, at age 34, he left the job, announcing his departure on social media in a characteristically upbeat way. “It’s been the honor of my life to work for the library that raised me,” he said. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/31/well/mind/librarian-trauma-homeless-drugs-mental-illness.html
  5. I think this is wrong.
  6. This does not look good.
  7. Sark and his staff are #$$#&@ relentless.
  8. I don't understand ... what's Larry Ellison's tie to Michigan?
  9. Elon buys Melania.
  10. Does this mean Kellen Willey is in the boat? Is Willey even a linebacker?
  11. Bye, bye Brian ... Besides Kade Phillips, what other LSU recruits does Texas want and have room for?
  12. It's science. Anybody who does their own research will come to the same conclusions.
  13. No shit. I heard that Arch and all the Mannings are members of the Illuminati. Arch got exposed to Chemtrails that resulted from the Pentagon's attack on the WTC. He also took the Covid jab, and we know what that means. The Mannings, of course, cooked up the whole "we landed on the moon" hoax, and killed Paul McCartney. Mind you, this all started after Roswell, when Archie Manning's brother invented 5G. Now Arch has long Covid from the jab, even though he's never had Covid. One of the symptoms of long Covid is believing that birds are real. In short, Arch is living in a world that doesn't exist. You want a guy like that leading your team? I don't.
  14. Despite Threads having a massive lead, BlueSky has caught up in terms of active daily users.
  15. Is there some reason you brought this thread back to the top?

  17. House case payouts should be roughly 24 million dollars per power five schools, assuming the 1.65 billion in damages will be divided up equally up between the 69 power five schools.
  18. Being fired from Florida Atlantic University https://www.reddit.com/r/LonghornNation/s/N8ZMfdv7xM
