  1. If Delta starts an AUS to SJC Nerd Bird route, I'll switch 100% of my travel to them.  I've had really good experiences the couple times I've flown on them recently to Seattle.

    Currently I do SWA for the SJC trips and United partners to and through Europe, but that's mainly because of my legacy United status and the fact there are a lot of route options with no more than 1 stop to get to/from most cities in Europe (FRA direct, or connect through EWR, IAH, ORD, IAD, or even DEN if I'm desperate enough).  But if there is SJC flight, that would be Bay Area, Seattle, and easy flights to Europe.

    you snap it before the 2 minute warning in case you don't convert.  that was a mistake.

    Not a Cowboys fan. I have no dog in this fight.

    But your post was the entire problem with the drive. They played like the goal was to give the ball back to Philly ASAP and then get the ball back as quickly as possible. They had 3 minutes and 3 time outs, and ran 7 straight passes in hurry up offense.  Just stupid strategy.

    @Wiler77 any thoughts?

    Not sure I'm much of an expert on this topic given that I've only visited Italy twice on vacation. But I do have 3 kids, and the thought of taking my two oldest when they were 4 and 2 years old makes me say

    They won't remember it.  You want to hike and see historical shit, both of which will be limited with kids.  You'll immediately want to go back because of all the shit you missed.  Taking my kids on an international trip at that age would not have been a consideration for me.  Are grandparents or aunts/uncles not an option to leave them with?

    As for my trips to Italy...I fucking love Rome. History on every corner. We only spent 3 days in Florence, but loved it.  Last trip we took was in 2019, and we did 5 days on the Amalfi Coast. Simply incredible, but the trip we did would not be possible with kids aged 4 and 2.  Day trips to Pompeii and Capri, Hike of the Gods to a Michelin star lunch and sex with wife in abandoned farmhouse on way back. Great trip.  But with toddlers?

    Tightrope is for a high ankle sprain. In people who aren't semi-pro athletes, we used to keep them non-weightbearing for I think 6 weeks. I would think a 300+ lb DT would be out at least a month.

    Definitely need to keep him out of the crossfire

    And I bought 9,000 more shares of IBRX - because Ani needs company.  Also, wanted my average cost basis in the mid 2s.

    Or if your boys are up to it @Wiler77 go during the week.  Now, we were there last night and there were quite a few people doing some kind of corporate event but its normally relatively chill during the week.  Cheaper, too. 

    Last night.  Burger truck on the right.  No more biscuit sandwiches inside but a "kids burger" which is basically an adult burger is $9.  Add fries for $4.

    Oct. 12th is the actual birthday of my soon to be 9 year old, and that's what he wants to do. But you bring up a good point. Maybe I can find an early release day around there and take them after school

    Ok. Southwest, central, and northeast Arkansas were all hideous. I extrapolated that to meaning the whole state is ugly. Maybe I’m wrong. I thought southwest Missouri was much more beautiful, huge trees and rolling hills and cliffs. 

    So youve been to SW Missouri, but didn't think NW Arkansas may look similar?  You might be surprised to discover SW Missouri is next to NW Arkansas. And Fayetteville is close to the border.

    Bentonville, in addition to being in a beautiful part of the state, is home to Walmart. And the money they've pumped into the area. And the home of a ton of jobs that exist to support the Walmart engine.

    Your ability to not just be wrong, but come across as a complete dolt while doing so is quite impressive.  I'm almost hoping you are actually Graham and are playing 4D Troll Chess.

  8. So what's the story about Butler on a Sunday? My 3 boys are beginners and have been bugging me about playing.  We've been going to the range and hitting foam balls in the yard. I plan to take them to Butler on my littlest's 9th bday on Oct. 12th. That's a Sunday. How long of a wait are we looking at? I'm hoping day after TX/OU and middle of ACL Fest won't be too bad if we get there fairly early.

    I knew a family that used his techniques. He suggested to name a stick or belt something like the “rod of discipline” and leave it on the kid’s dresser as a “sign of authority.” 
     

    Really whack shit. The kid I knew turned out all kinds of fucked up. And my dad spanked, but that kid was getting whacked for all kinds of petty shit. They’d tell him to go get the “rod of discipline” or “belt of correction” and go to town. 
     

    FWIW shortly before I had my first kid, my dad said “I won’t tell you how to parent but I don’t think spanking helped you and I did it because everyone told me I needed to. I wish I hadn’t.” 

    Never had my parents say that, but my wife and I had a conversation before having kids, and we both agreed getting spanked didn't help either of us. She recalled laughing at her parents, and I recalled at one point grabbing my mom's hand as she spanked me saying if she hit me again I was hitting her.

    Our big thing as parents is to use your words to express your feelings. My kids do an amazing job of this. They drive us fucking nuts at times, but they also are incredibly mature and keep us humbled with their words. It's quite amazing to watch first hand.

    @MrX It might be helpful to occasionally include rational for ownership instead of just throwing out names and recapping market action. 

    You clearly should've taken a left at Albuquerque.
