  1. I wonder how many didn't even know it was Epstein's plane?  He often wasn't on the plane with a lot of the passengers  and he seemed to lend it out to big wigs the same way BMD's do for athletic departments doing coaching searches.  If someone was tagging along with other big wigs on the plane and the destination wasn't to Pedo Island or his sex dungeon in NY, I'd probably give them benefit of the doubt.

  2. My Global Entry is expiring in March so I submitted a renewal application yesterday. Got approval today that I'm good to go. No interview needed.  Less than a 24 hour turnaround.  Nice service there, federal government bureaucracy.

    Is there any cuisine that I should try? Or is it just Rice, Beans, Plantains, & Pork?

    There's some local foods but it's 90% American bar food.  If you're on St Thomas, hit Glady's Cafe for local cuisine.

    I’ve never met my boss. I hear he’s a great guy and would help me out if ever needed. I’m happy to have never received so much as a personal email or phone call from him.  If we passed each other he wouldn’t recognize me. If someone told him my name, he would not have any clue who I was.  As long as I don’t fuck up he will never know who I am.   And my job is so much better than his. Fuck being a boss. 

    In my first job, the director above my direct manager didn't know I existed.  I was at a meeting with him once and he asked what I did for the company.  His peer director said, "Steve, he works for you."  An hour later, he walked in and gave me a mid-year pay raise.  Unfortunately, that was the only time in 25 years, that has happened.

  5. One thing I try to instill in my kids is that if you can't do the right thing when people are looking, how are you going to make the hard decision to do the right thing when no one is looking.  This was an easy case of doing to the right thing when people were looking and you failed.  I'd take away your electronics for a week and march you back to Costco and give them the $400 back.

    Men will do unspeakably cruel shit if they're frustrated by not getting any pussy.

     

    There wouldn't be jihadists in the world if everybody could just get laid on occasion.  There's a reason why the 72 virgins is the carrot to get incels to kill themselves.

    Question: I have an 8th grader. I guess at some point in next few years we need to do campus tours? What do you do on a tour? Is the summer a bad time to go since there are no srudenrs around? I did UT with minimal backup plans. I'm clueless. 

    Start early.  Especially if you're looking out of state.   We did our first tours in OCT of my kid's sophomore year and quite honestly, I feel we are running out of time to get many more in. For us, fall is a wash because of high school volleyball taking up every FRI night so a weekend trip is out of the question.  We did miss a match to make that trip to Colorado to tour CU, CSU, and Mines as sophomore because it also coincided with a Monday district day off.  I didn't feel like we could it again this year with her being on varsity and the coach being pissy about missing games.   Also, official tours don't happen every day and Saturday tour dates are hit and miss.  There are usually no tours on spring break or other holidays so you need to miss school or go during the summer.  Our summer is already pretty booked but we are going to try to squeeze in a trip to the University of Vermont the day after AISD lets out.

  8. I wonder how the "Come and Take It" crowd would react when they realize they'd have to stop at a border crossing and show their passport to visit the Golden Nugget in Lake Charles or when they get off the plane and go through Customs in Vegas, etc

    I would just cut off Texans from traveling in the US for a decade following secession.

  9. I see Tuan Nguyen with Seton/Ascension. He does have one or two days in the north Seton location up on Research.

    He has an interesting story. His dad died of a heart attack when he was little. So, he and his two brothers became cardiologists. They’re the only 3 brothers known to have all become cardiologists. His brother Vu is in the same practice.

  10. Honestly it’s City’s to bottle. Won’t surprise me if they rattle off 12 in a row this spring to clinch it. I’d be more surprised if they don’t. 
    After watching Pool and City win, we roll that out there? Not great, Bob. 

    Having a second team of starters is kinda helpful when you get down to the last dozen games.
  11. Yeah, Grohl absolutely has to be in this conversation.  He was in Queens.  Played all the drums on their biggest album.

    Was he officially in the band? He also played most of the drums on NIN’s With Teeth but he wasn’t in the band.
