  1. yeah I had never heard of that. Interesting that this more recent thing spawned so many copy cats.
  2. Good points, I think your last sentence sort of says it all. I'm from New Mexico, and in my former life operated a few ranches in the state, so I lived near (but not in) some smaller towns (Tularosa, T or C, Santa Rosa). Gorgeous scenery, but when you lower your eyes you see toothless meth heads. I would literally check your teeth before I hired you. The Chicken/Egg thing, all the folks who don't like meth moved to Albuquerque and got good jobs. Traveling in those rural circles I've also spent time in places like Big Spring, San Angelo, and Milano. All those little Texas towns are 1,000% better off than the best of the shitty NM towns (like say, Silver City).
  3. Can't remember where I heard this but somebody pointed out that this started w/ Ariana Grande licking a donut? I had not heard of that.
  4. Lol but nothing is free. Let's keep doubling tuition every 5 years and see how the PUF takes the length.
  5. Cheap enough for a $65k houshold? Maybe the answer is it should be cheap enough that median income can service student loan debt. For sure, if I were King, I'd at least limit future increases to cpi. Shit is borked.
  6. If tuition had tracked the CPI since I attended UT it would now be about $1,500 a semester. Get off my lawn.
  7. Wow. There sure is some evidence that it is, including the rising default rate. I recall that in the late 90's, back when books were more expensive than tuition, ROI on a Texas MBA was around 0.
  8. I guess my "I like this but" post is if tuition growth continues apace this is unsustainable. It seems obvious to me that 1) college is way, way too expensive currently 2) too many kids go to college
  9. Nursing home buys influenza ice cream and feeds it to elderly. edit: but I agree, I don't see this as a felony, esp. since the ice cream never left the store.
  10. To be fair, afaik, blue bell wasn't intentionally putting listeria in their ice cream. They're just incompetent. You don't jail aggy for being who they are.
  11. Can't stop watching. There are about a dozen other covers.
  12. https://www.amazon.ca/All-American-Decals-Original-Non-Laminated/dp/B077GHPKHS
  13. That Georgia OT commit, Tate Ratledge, sure looks good.
  14. 6 out of the first 7 breaking in new coordinators. Edit: fuck me ND also w/ a new DC. Errbody above us save Climsin?
  15. both IMO. Airlines need cockpit standardization to be efficient, Boeing needs fuselage standardization to be efficient.
  16. According to this border crossing-related deaths have gone down https://americanmilitarynews.com/2019/06/us-mexico-border-deaths-lower-under-trump-than-obama-data-shows/
