  1. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/dolphin-bathing-ban/index.html (CNN) — Watching "Jaws" as a kid might have left you with a lifetime fear of swimming with sharks, but who knew swimming with dolphins could be dangerous? The pretty coastal village of Landévennec in Finistère, in France's northwestern Brittany region, has been terrorized by a sexually aroused dolphin getting too close to swimmers. The dolphins antics got so bad that the local mayor, Roger Lars, banned bathing on the Brittany beach, issuing a new bylaw. Now local swimmers are prevented from getting closer than 40 meters to the dolphin.
  2. Do you even lift? Last year when UT renovated the locker and weight room, they auctioned off some of their old gear. I picked up a lifting platform from the weight room, but I guess they were confused, because they ended up giving me two of them! I only really needed one, the other has been propped up against the wall for awhile so I'm getting rid of it. What it is: Hardwood on pine and ply frame lifting platform from the UT weight room, circa early 2000's - 2016 or so, also has 2 wings with heavy rubber mat for your deadlifts and power cleans. Good chance your favorite player worked out on this under the watchful eye of Fat Dog. It is solid and HEAVY, dims are about 9.5' x 3.5' for the main platform. Use it for your squat rack, cut it up and make a killer cornhole set, or turn it into a piece of Texas memorabilia. You'll need a truck and three guys to move this thing - or if you actually lift, which you don't, maybe you can get it yourself. $150 HDMI ports: 0, but I'll install four 8K upscaling ports for an extra $1K.
  3. Selling my 1-year old Troy Bilt Mustang 42" Zero Turn mower. This is an amazing machine, I just decided to hire a service. You can buy them new @ Lowe's for $2300, I'm selling this mower + bagger attachment (bought for $450) + tow hitch + AgriFab tine dethatcher (bought for $100) for $1999 on craigslist, will sell to a surly buyer for $1900. I've babied this mower, it only has 33 hours on its clock. It got the break-in oil change at 10 hours, and the next one is due at 50 hours.

  4. I've never seen a back able to maintain so much speed through his cuts.
  5. Texas - The Lone Three Star State
  6. Hopefully this is the prelude to putting Plonsky out to pasture.
  7. Tapafail this was meant for basketball forum. Maybe admin can move?
  8. We had a version of this thread on the old site, here we go again, Nerd Guy Ballin thread re-inspired it. Who plays pickup ball? I'm definitely square in the old-man category now so try to find old-man games - can't roll with the youngsters now. Always looking for additional olds to bring, we play 2x/week on Wednesday and Sunday nights at a court built for old dudes (indoor, hardwood, high school size or smaller) close to downtown Austin. Skill ranges from "hackashaq" to ex-college players but it's good fun, good workout and people actually pass. MSG me if you're interested.
  9. It's not that '47 Brand didn't renew, it's that under Patterson they wanted to eliminate everyone except Nike and Jerry Jones shit "We Are Texas" brand that make low-quality crap and (presumably) gives a bigger kickback to the UT. 47, Retro, and a few other brands were shown the door and not given the chance to renew. I've tweeted CDC about it, got the standard "I'll look into it" and nothing else yet.
  10. not sure what Forbes gives us that the million other wings we have don't?
  11. Are there rules around the physical, or can TOR say "oh he has a hangnail, he fails the physical."
  12. Seeing now that Kawhi's camp is saying he'll hold out instead of playing in Toronto. Wonder if the deal is baked or TOR is going to try to find a way to back out.
  13. We use Emerald Lawns to manage our program and they just sent me this email blast: Anyone have an opinion on this stuff - does it work?
  14. Obviously you should ring up PATFO with your hot take immediately! I'm sure they'll walk this back once they know you disapprove.
  15. wow he doesn't look creepy at all...
  16. They really should seek out the final solution to this problem.
  17. That's interesting. What is our cap situation assuming we trade Kawhi?
  18. Wow, surprised we couldn't do a vet deal. I thought for sure TP would end his career a spur.
  19. I've been wearing some Knoxville S by Electric for a few months and like them. My requirements: polarized lens option, sturdy, tortoise frame, "traditional" styling, not owned by Luxotica. I'm pretty sure that last one is true http://www.electriccalifornia.com/mens/sunglasses/best-sellers/knoxville-s-matte-blk-m-grey-884932300618.html
  20. First of all, good luck w/ that. I think he'll find that aside from straight up gross negligence, the law is pretty tilted in favor of the builder. But maybe he can get something on settlement?
