  1. Keeping up with the Joneses takes a Tol on a person.
  2. We joke, but on occasions she would raise questions about fiscal responsibilities. I think she even sometimes voted against stupid shit spending. She was one of the very few who ever did.
  3. https://apnews.com/article/dennys-investors-deal-private-company-f626f6b8c27f29f698a5c823ba855fc3 Denny’s to be acquired and taken private in a deal valued at $620 million This man is not amused.
  4. A follow up question is what ROI did we get for that $100M? What are the recurring costs for? Do we still need them? I get it that it's free government money but is the city obligated to any ROI analysis, or do they get to spend money on absolute shit and then beg for more money to maintain that absolute shit?
  5. I voted NO to every Prop but 2. Won't matter. Every Prop except Prop Q will pass.
  6. I cannot wait until Trump honors this death. I'm sure it will be dignified and respectful.
  7. America First, Bitches. We are swimming in all the manufacturing plants that have moved here!!!!!!
  8. Fuck your $1T pay package. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/04/norway-sovereign-wealth-fund-rejects-elon-musks-1-trillion-pay-deal.html Norway’s mega wealth fund to reject Elon Musk’s $1 trillion Tesla pay package
  9. 3500 sq ft house is just a giant waste of money and time in terms of heating/cooling, furniture just to fill empty of life unused rooms, and cleaning. I guess if you are a fat ass who never leaves your house, maybe a 3500 sq ft house makes you feel better about yourself. I'd rather have a 17-1800 3 bed 2 bath house at 6000 ft in the foothills of Colorado than have a 10,000 sq ft house in whichever shitty Texas town not named Austin. When you live somewhere with amazing weather and a shitton of free shit to do, your urge for stupid materialistic shit goes away. I don't need that $80k truck with a 8 year payment and a 3,500 sq ft house filled with shit I'm never going to use to compensate for how miserable my life is.
  10. I worked in VZ for over 15 years. I worked for another small telecom company who was a supplier to the big 3 (4 at the time). Mostly companies "want" to be good at cyber security, up to a point. I don't think you can ever build Fort Knox around a network. There are just way too many points of entry from switches, routers, corporate spies, to Joe Blow clicking on a phishing link. Maybe Fort Knox can be built, but it'll be expensive as fuck. But even then it won't protect you from the threats which have already been installed and lay dormant. Cyber security is all cost. You can't market and sell that you spend $200M a year on protecting your network, knowing that's not going to be enough. That dictates the smaller guy's attention to it. But having government regulations requiring something will at least make some companies spend money on cyber security. The leadership at the small company did not want to do anything. We were mandated by our customers (the big 3). Even then it was the least amount (cheapest) effort possible.
  11. I don't know how much he was "living" after the first 2 or 3.
  12. more #winning. I wonder how long this anti-American sentiment lasts after Trump. Companies are pivoting to non-US suppliers and will sign long term contracts. Consumers are creatures of habit. When they shift brands, they don't usually go back. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-factories-rocked-unprecedented-rise-181751859.html US factories rocked by ‘unprecedented’ rise in unsold stock US factories are suffering from an “unprecedented” rise in unsold stock as Donald Trump’s trade war hits their overseas sales. American manufacturers’ unsold inventory soared at the fastest pace in more than 18 years in October, according to the S&P Global Manufacturing purchasing manager’s index (PMI). Businesses reported that their production exceeded overall demand after tariffs saw their export orders slump for the fourth month in a row. Sales declined to key markets such as Canada, China, Europe and Mexico, which have all been hit by steep new US tariffs. Although Mr Trump’s tariffs apply to imports from these countries, it seems they have also had a damaging impact on US sales abroad. Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said the surge in unsold stock was “worrying” and “unprecedented”. Mr Williamson said: “[It was] widely linked to weaker than anticipated sales to customers, especially in export markets, which could trigger a downshifting of production in the coming months unless demand revives.” Business confidence among consumer goods producers fell to a two-year low as manufacturers became concerned about future demand. Mr Williamson added: “Firms [are] growing increasingly worried about household spending in the US and falling sales to consumers in export markets.”
  13. When we slept Georgia's ass, will Kirby complain about our having a bye week before the game and the unfair advantage we were given?
  14. The piece of shit Cheney was one of Trump's harshest critic. That's how batshit crazy the Republican party is now.
  15. I will cut you.
  16. Colorado should "tariff" the vacationing Texans who voted for Abbott and Trump.
  17. I'm thinking kidnapping and forced prostitution. That or a kinky Twilight the movie cult.
  18. Between my 2 daughters, they have over 20 friends and friends of friends (about half went to UTexas) who moved from Austin to NYC after college. Most of them would never move back to Texas. All of them will vote for Mamdani.
  19. Bubba and Mary Sue are going to see TAX and vote for anything which reduces and/or prohibits taxes, whether those taxes exist or not. They don't understand that it takes money to run a state. Reduce taxes in one thing raises taxes on another, or else shit doesn't get paid for and services go away. 85 of the top 100 SNAP counties voted for Trump. They sure the fuck didn't think it through what they voted for. This will be the same gotdamned thing. What gets me is that many of the Props are just performative bullshit to make Bubby and Mary Sue think the leadership is doing something. It'll work.
  20. What a fucking joke! I don't know what's sadder, the dipshit "threatening" this bullshit or that he thinks his base is SO GODDAMNED STUPID that this performative bullshit would resonate in some way? What exactly is he going to "tariff" on the incoming New Yorkers? Pay higher sales tax? Pay higher property taxes? https://www.newsweek.com/greg-abbott-threatens-100-tariff-new-york-election-moving-texas-10986837 Greg Abbott Threatens ‘100% Tariff’ On New Yorkers Moving to Texas Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said he would "impose a 100 percent tariff" on New Yorkers moving to Texas. “After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC,” the Republican wrote on X on Monday night. Abbott’s post came on the eve of New York City’s mayoral election, in which democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is the frontrunner.
  21. Reading a thread on Reddit says it's due to mis-management of water. Maybe so but you can only conserve so much if there's no rain in forever. I was watching Lake Travis trickle down. Lucky (unlucky for many families) we got that deluge in July or else we'd be fucked in a few years.
  22. Duane Akina Assistant Coach, Football - Defensive Passing Game Coordinator Sooooo, what exactly does he do? Can we NIL him for a younger coach who maybe knows how to coach our DBs to not be so shitty.
  23. One is not like the other.
  24. Amazing discovery. This is eerily similar to how dipshit Magats have their heads so far up the orange felon rapist dipshits ass that they can only see when the piece of shit pedophile opens his mouth to suck Putin's dick.
  25. There are videos of probably a thousand people in TSA line but sure, it's overblow. Just be thankful you went through a day after the shitshow.
