  1. At least this board is on mid season form even if the team isn’t
  2. Incredible career at Texas. First 50 game winner in NCAA history. Pitched a 4 hitter in the 75 championship game.
  3. I am now four years older than my dad was when he passed. Sebastian is only 2 1/2 years old and lately, I've been thinking about what would happen to him If I were to die. I think that I want to make some provision for him in my will. Has anyone here done that? Under Texas law, I guess he would be considered property (I'm sure he would disagree with that), so I would have to leave him to someone rather than having a guardian named for him.
  4. Looked on tv like there were plenty of empty seats
  5. Some of you people sound like you need to live in a sensory deprivation tank. One of my sisters is like that. Any little noise sets her off. When we all go up to the ranch for thanksgiving I always make sure to bring lots of squeaky toys for my dog.
  6. He must have really crushed it to get it out with that wind
  7. It opened the season before my freshman year. I was in awe of it.
  8. That was certainly the Supreme Court's interpretation in DC v. Heller, but that doesn't mean that historically, all Justices would have agreed with that interpretation. Warren Burger certainly wouldn't have when he wrote "At the time of the Bill of Rights, people were apprehensive about the new national government presented to them, and this helps explain the language and purpose of the Second Amendment. It guarantees, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The need for a State militia was the predicate of the "right" guarantee, so as to protect the security of the State. Today, of course, the State militia serves a different purpose. A huge national defense establishment has assumed the role of the militia of 200 years ago". With the repeal of Roe v. Wade, we saw how the makeup of the Supreme Court can drastically alter its interpretation of the Constitution. We may, in time, see a Supreme Court that is willing to adopt a collective rights interpretation of the Second Amendment more in line with the Court's previous ruling in United States v. Miller. As to your sex amendment example, I think it is more than likely that the current Supreme Court would interpret that amendment to mean that an individual's right to have sex was predicated on their intent to reproduce rather than any unfettered right to have sex. They certainly wouldn't interpret it to mean that sex between same-sex partners was an individual right guaranteed under the Constitution.
  9. You kind of skipped over the “well regulated” part
  10. The ex and I always stayed at Ramon's. On our last trip, there was a strong afternoon rainstorm with very high winds. We sat on our porch drinking bourbon while we watched a sailboat flying a Texas flag get blown onto the reef just offshore in front of Ramon's. It ripped a pretty big gash in the hull.
  11. A light year is 6 Trillion miles. 15 billion is nowhere close to 1/4 of a light year. It's .0025 of a light year. A year is 8,760 hours. 22.5/8,765 = .00256849. The radio waves are not traveling faster than the speed of light. I guess I should read the whole thread before responding
  12. Did you tell her you didn’t care what color she used when she scooped the shit?
  13. Yeah, but on a blended average they only went down 6%
  14. Haven’t even played the first game and you’re calling for Pierce to be fired?
  15. I think Asta’s ass gets bigger every season
  16. If you outlaw acorns, only outlaws will have acorns
  17. You can’t even request them unless you give $6k. I’m sure it’s going to take more than that to actually get them.
  18. I bet this is the last time that professional athletes participate in one of these victory parades.
  19. Ours were $50 more per seat. I'm actually surprised. I expected much more
  20. They're just trying to make sure that they can take care of the NATO members that don't pay up
