  1. if there is anything innovative in your field, it's a guarantee that china's "thousand talents" program is trying to work their way in.
  2. possibly but unless you're tied down by a contract, why would you waste all that $$ on att? i've been on fi since 2015 and can't imagine going back to att. my monthly bill is ridiculously cheap (~$45) compared to when i was on att (~$90).
  3. richh@netcom.com on usenet
  4. thanks @cactusflinthead i spoke to a guy who seemed to know quite a bit about planting trees in the austin area and he said to avoid bigtooth maple. when asked why, it seemed that he personally didn't like them for one reason or another, but i haven't read about any issues with bigtooth maples in the austin area. other than perhaps his personal preference, can you think of any reason why he would advise me to avoid them? otherwise, it looks like a unique alternative tree for the area.
  5. gotdam oaks. kill 'em all?
  6. holy schnikes that was a helluva series. 🤘
  7. ^ worked for me
  8. looking for some tree recommendations. we have a large area that was recently cleared and it needs something other than ripped up soil and weeds. the space is wide open and won't be competing with any other trees. as for location, we're in nw austin. basically right next to bull creek park. we already have a good deal of live oaks and red oaks, so i'm interested in other species that might thrive. i'll likely plant juvenile trees between 6 and 12 feet tall. medium to large trees when they become adults.
  9. i have a 2xl and see no need to upgrade for awhile. as long as google is releasing updates, the 2xl is a solid smartphone.
  10. i'm lucky to have good insurance but still have to do this. it's all fucked up and i don't expect anything significant to happen in my lifetime. if anything, you have to learn how to work the system and not how to fight with your carrier/insurance. i certainly don't expect one person/party/group to create the tipping point.
  11. sounds like beto was the tacoland sysop, aka psychedelic warlord. i'm pretty sure i had an account on there way back when. cDc was a riot.
  12. anyone else lose lose squirrel & capybara access?
  13. let the kid decide, without being influenced by the cost of attending. he sounds smart and will make it work. with the creds that you mentioned, i'm having a hard time figuring out how he can't get a decent financial aid package at texas.
  14. physics circus had been around for a long time before him. rory coker comes to mind. crazy but awesome dude.
  15. i'm having a hard time trying to give a shit about an aggy lampoon when aggy will never be able to grasp the irony actually contained in that short.
  16. another gotdam goodwill? ugh
  17. uh...
  18. maybe, but aggy constantly explains everything away when it comes to their internalized little brother syndrome.
  19. cognitive dissonance
  20. this seems to be much better now.
  21. i've actually done this in the past. it's pretty fucking hilarious how they'll nod in agreement to completely made up anti-tu bullshit. my shin was sore for a week from my wife kicking it over and over. worth it.
