  1. I agree. He’s living right so I’m not saying no at this point. It may run its course and fade away, he likely has no one to do it with which could impact that plan. He’s done everything I’ve asked for so I’m just being patient right now. DL test tomorrow, did the parallel parking last bit of practice last night he’s a champ.
  2. Not going to get to stay but just watched game 5 second set swiatek v Collins and Collins put on a how to clinic with some text book points.
  3. DL coach? I don’t know so I’m not going to guess and I’m gonna project on to surly for their guessing, fools I tell ya. Sark has his man like A&M has their offseason trophy, trust in sark, all gas, only hot air here. niblack or Stanford TE yeah I think we will get one but I’m too cold and it’s late so someone else will have to scoop that one for ya. I trust in sark. Muhammad’s cousin? We could get him, they are family, feather in our cap for sure. He likes Oregon but might like Texas too. It’s business ya know. But I trust sark. You should too. 9.95 please.
  4. fuck em, they actually may be the worst fan base in america, you wouldn't know it until they start losing though. 348 SEC championships, 189 runner ups, 87 titles in 17 years, they can fuck off and eat dicks and lick rancid asshole. fuck em.
  5. yeah AD's experience mattered for sure, heck I wouldn't be surprised if they talked dirctly about it.
  6. I found it more appealing on the street to be quite honest but appealing in the same way the redic sports cars are like lambos and the like. I don't like any of them but the cyber truck looks stupid in pics, and less stupid in real life. not a fanboi though.
  7. response from the closest lexus dealer: "Thank you for reaching out. The 2024 Lexus GX550 will begin production next month. We will start receiving inventory on this model in March/April. We do have a long list of pre-orders so there may be a wait if this is the model. "
  8. that's my fear is lack of supply on that thing. LC model looks bad ass too.
  9. I hate buying gas. Feels like a total waste of money.
  10. No good financial reason. Rubbernecking ladies eyeing goofyboy in a sexy ride is a plenty good reason.
  11. The redesign is so compelling. Can’t decide if the off road or lux trim package is better.
  12. Love the look rarely remember them. I’ll poke around.
  13. Stunning is a word I would use to describe A&M that’s true.
  14. That may be on the list to replace the X. Honestly right now I think we need one more stint in a car that accepts gasoline so we can get there fast. I don't really have an issue traveling with my Tesla X for most road trips. I've taken it to the coast multiple times as well as even Colorado and the delay is just part of it. But it has been nice to hop in the Porsche, drive 500 miles at 95 ,mph and stop once or twice for less than 10 mins. I'll poke around the volvo site too.
  15. oh and non-competes are starting to fall out of favor, the feds may ban them all together soon. FTC is in the middle of deliberating a ban on them all together (but then litigation will ensue, expect a SCOTUS case on that ban if it comes down). I've always hated them. I tend to push to a non-solicit of employees, customers and key contractors if I can, situation is fluid. $9.95 please, oh wait, decimal in the wrong place. $995 please. thank you.
  16. I'd make sure he wasn't terminated in a manner that's unlawful. very few reasons in Texas, but the federal laws can apply above 15 employees - so race, religion, ethnicity, age, gender, sex, etc. Best evidence is systemic practice looking at who else is fired, who is retained. sounds like a small company though so I'd expect squat. I'd make sure the bonus isn't written in a handbook or policy as already having been earned and payable even though terminated. make sure all expense reports are submitted and paid. make sure you get COBRA or state continuation compliance if not pay. $25,000 / 3 months isn't a lot for a non-compete, but if he's dead ass certain he won't compete that's free money. don't assume it's not enforceable. Texas courts will ABSOLUTELY enforce them, and even rewrite them to be enforceable when they go too far. devil is in the details on whether it's enforceable yes territory, time and scope are important but so is the company's need to prohibit competition and other factors. pay to sideline a guy isn't really what carries the day. NDA - yes get industry knowledge, general know how and relationships excepted. you can't walk out of the company with a customer list but you can't be prohibited from talking to someone just because an NDA. non-solicitation - you can be prohibited from talking to certain people - employees and customers if you sign a non-solicitation - this one can be more dicey than the non-compete in terms of impact on your friend. read carefully. non-disparagement - fine, make it mutual. good reference? good luck. I mean if you can get it, get it. most will simply confirm you worked there and dates. non-disparagement would prevent saying bad things. being fired makes a good reference hard to rely on, try and get it. don't expect it. property - if the computer was purchased with his money it's his, but he has to work through getting work stuff off. if it's company purchased, he's got to delete or transfer his info and give it back no matter what. un-comingling data can be the basis of a trade secret lawsuit for larger dollar amounts in and of itself. what else? I think that's most of it.
  17. new Lexus GX550 is looking hot. Lexus TX comes in hybrid. both are big. Sequoia looks nice too. MDX looks hot as well. My ex's bf drove an MDX, he was a total wanker. accountant, would get drunk on the weekends with her and when I'd come to get the kids or drop them off he would run out to talk about bitcoin and how I had to get in on it. he has one and it was worth $60,000. mkay. dude bragged about never spending money and he played the electric guitar by himself and only liked hard rock music and shat on anyone that liked anything else - especially Texas country. just a total dork.
  18. It’s easy, hate the people they hate. Yo! You hate western hemisphere brown people and those queers. I’m eastern hemisphere brown we are ok. Let’s hate the same people together !! ISWYDT
  19. To be fair Swamy isn’t a last name that screams US statesman to anyone. And add to that US Hindu population was integral to 9/11 so there’s that too.
  20. Rural Texas was very similar. I still can’t wrap my head around what happened. A long time ago I had a hope to retire to the Texas hill country. sitting on an oversized porch in a rocking chair with a Texas brewed beer in my hand in the warm spring when thunderstorms roll through and rain comes down around the live oaks is something I’ll have to replace. Some parts are ok because of migration but the true small towns are not. Climate and politics will drive us elsewhere. Good people exist and I guess to an extent these are good people but they might as well be looking to shoot me down in broad daylight because their rhetoric, their beliefs and their vote is almost as dangerous.
  21. Yes and no. If I was younger and available I’d be quite interested in the woman driving one, assuming she’s wearing flannel and tight jeans with that I didn’t try very hard today but I still look smoking hot and yes I like the ladies vibe going on. but I’m pushing 50 and taken so that ain’t happening.
