  1. Why would anyone sane want to replace a cute carhop with a goofy ass robot?
  2. There's also the PACE path to entrance at UT, where in your first year you're taking most of your classes through ACC and one class per semester at UT-Austin. You're eligible to live in on-campus housing so it's a good way to get the UT-Austin experience in your first year, even though you're not taking all UT-Austin classes. I believe you have to be selected for it, if you apply but aren't admitted full-time. Like CAP it has some performance expectations/requirements for being admitted full-time after your first year. https://admissions.utexas.edu/apply/alternative-pathways-to-enrollment/pace/
  3. Eagerly awaiting Foster's big entrance whilst this is playing:
  4. Ha, I love how they end with the insult of last place/196/0.5%, and then twist the knife one final time by noting she lost her deposit. That's some seriously snarky petty wikipedia editing, and I'm delighted to be here for it.
  5. OK so I was right, although it is only "slightly more" than the 3-4 mentioned by Js1. I'm just glad I didn't know the actual answer. And I'm sort of sad that now, I do.
  6. If Post Oak is saying, "what a Superman movie should be" based on adapting an original movie from the comic book origins, then I can totally see it. Just because past Superman movies haven't explored some of the really wacky stuff in the Superman comics, doesn't mean that the wacky material doesn't exist and couldn't be ported into the movie world. I mean, there was a Superman comic book story where red kryptonite transforms Superman's head into that of a human-sized ant, and he is then able to talk to a space alien race of giant mutated ants that are trying to warn humanity about the dangers of nuclear war. And then there's the story where Superman officiates a wedding between Jimmy Olsen and a gorilla...
  7. GDit I get so mad at Jeff Fisher every time this thread is bumped.
  8. Even more than that, I think. But I've never looked into it closely, because we're not pathetic losers.
  9. You don't even need this qualifier. Texas' 1970 Coaches' Poll title is valid. That's all that needs to be said. The Coaches' Poll and the AP Poll titles are valid, and have always been valid, regardless of their timing.
  10. ...and Ohio State. The defending national champions. Why would they omit one of Texas' four OOC opponents, I wonder???
  11. Coaches' poll has always been a legitimate championship, regardless of whether it was awarded before or after the bowls. Same for the AP.
  12. I've stuck with USAA for 25 years because their service was excellent. I've recently heard their service is suffering, I haven't had any claims in over two years so I couldn't tell you, but one things for sure is the prices just keep skyrocketing. From reading this thread, sounds like I need to look into GEICO and Progressive... It's currently 3 cars, about to be another one with a new 16yo driver, one homestead, one rental house. There's also an RV and a boat but USAA already farms out those to Progressive anyway.
  13. And why not-- another pic from PINS when my buddy with a 1972 Winnebago joined us. I have no idea why the picture quality is so bad on this one. Looks like it was taken in 1975 rather than 2012 or whatever.
  14. I've posted some pics of this before, either here or the other place, but here's a pic of the Airstream out on PINS, probably about a decade ago. Beach was a lot cleaner last week, maybe the cleanest I've ever seen it.
  15. Same thing here. Back in 2007 I saw a picture of someone camping in an Airstream directly on PINS. We were about to have our first kid, and we'd been tent-camping for years, but I figured there might be a better way. I've always loved vintagey stuff and mid-century-modern stuff and was fixated on vintage campers. There are lots of cool Shastas and other white-box canned hams, but my eye was always drawn to the Airstream. So I did a little research, convinced my wife using that picture of the Airstream, and in June of 2008, drove to Birmingham, AL to pick up my hard luck but survivor 1963 Airstream Overlander. I restored it, then we outgrew it, but the idea is still alive and we still go as often as we can. Anyway, that picture above is about 4.8 miles down the beach. It wasn't all that busy and we had probably close to a quarter mile all to ourselves. We hung out there for a few days, then we popped off the top and the doors of the Jeep and took it another 15 miles down one afternoon and let the kids look for shells. They drove most of it, the 15yo with a learner's permit was in heaven.
  16. Ell O fucking Ell. "We stole him right out from under their noses. Kirby's all about culture. He's coming here because he is one of us!" One, week, later... He's not one of us. He only visited once. He was probably going to go somewhere else anyway.
  17. Graham Norton is the tits. That's a fun show to watch.
  18. Ha! John Wick as a metahuman. Might not have been a bad movie if it were sold that way! Agreed. Cavill's Superman in the Snyder cut of JL was so much better as a character, than in all of the other movies. He was finally who I'd wanted him to be, all along. Or at least a lot closer.
  19. I didn't hate the Snyderverse and I actually thought the Snyder cut of Justice League turned it into a solid, coherent, entertaining movie. It just wasn't very FUN. And MoS and BvS weren't very fun. Superman 1978 was fun. Batman 1989 was fun. And this new Superman movie is fun. I'm really excited to see what Gunn and the DC crew can do with a new DCU. I want to see Batman in this world, with Gunn's vision. I already love what I've seen of Green Lantern and Mr. Terrific. I want to see where else he can take us.
  20. PINS last week
  21. By far my favorite Coen Bros. movie.
  22. Still have yet to break 100 at my house in NW Travis. If the below holds true, it won't have broken 100 so far this entire year, all the way into August. I can't recall that ever happening before.
  23. Might be true, but as I vaguely recall Mackovic's offset language included media gigs. He got paid some paltry sum from ESPN for a hot minute, and we got to pay him slightly less.
  24. Many coaching contracts are written such that the buyout is offset by whatever amount the former coach earns doing another job. But not aggie contracts, no sir. They are 100% guar-an-teed!
