  1. What's the rate for CAPed kids actually attending Texas? I would guess that carrot is dangled to drive better qualified kids to earn degrees at UT system schools instead of to aggy, tech, etc. and not to actually get them on the main campus.
  2. I'd love to see SWA's bean counters do the risk analysis of flying with an engine that needs service vs paying out $10,000 for a late flight. You only technically need one engine to fly and land safely.
  3. i knew a brilliant kid growing up. He received a bachelor's degree and high school diploma in the same graduation ceremony at 17 years old. He then got a full ride to MIT. He wasn't just a nerd. He played rugby and partied pretty hard for MIT. I asked him how he was doing at MIT and he said he had a 3.2 and was applying to med school. My response was "is a 3.2 good enough for med school?" He said "a 3.2 from MIT is." Sure enough, he got in to his first choice med school and he's now the Orthopaedic Surgery Division Chief at a top medical school.
  4. When I was in cardiac rehab, there was a dude there that said he lived on disability so he had to eat cheap. He drank a 2-liter of sugar soda daily and lived on hot dogs and Doritos. It's like, dude, you had a heart attack, it might be time to google some basic nutrition guidelines and figure out some healthy cheap eats instead of just sitting on World of Warcraft all day waiting for your gubment check to arrive.
  5. I hate these matches. We dominate the first half but can’t find the back of the net and end up in 1-1 draw.
  6. Why don’t you run it? Montana hasn’t stopped The run at all in overtime.
  7. I wonder what the dad was thinking when he saw his two secret kids together on the ridge. He was running from them as much as Godzilla.
  8. So, you want to change a set up that has all the components that sets him up for debt free personal/academic success for off chance that a "better" university, with unknown support and financial burden, will net him maybe $10K in his first job?
  9. ...looking for showtimes...
  10. My consideration is how often is Emma Stone nude in her numerous sex scenes.
  11. My kid turned me on to this. I bought her latest album a while back and it’s solid.

    Did anyone else listen to Roxx Gang back in the day? I felt like I was the only person who heard of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh-0dxg2f4o
  14. Went down a YouTube rabbit hole this morning. I had no idea how expansive and well thought out the Dune universe is. Seems like there's a ton of potential for movies and prestige TV if they want to go that route.
  15. I went all in on the S&P 500 around the same time.
  16. CA will forgo its beliefs and fuck the fattest pig (TX) at party if there’s money to be made. An economic alliance between CA and TX would conquer all. We just need an unscrupulous evil billionaire who understands both sides of that coin to lead the way.
  17. Might as well watch the world burn with some popcorn and a beer at Alamo. Fuck it. In.
  18. I guess so. I verified I do have the exact model I posted. I don't worry about that shit at the price point. All I know is that they are sharp and hold the edge really well.
  19. Grabbed tickets to Jenny Lewis at Moody in the artist presale today. The code is CHERRYBABY if you want it.
  20. I sharpen twice a year. They hold their edge really well.
  21. I'll try a lower count next time but that seemed to be what worked best for my knives. I only buy Victorinox knives. They're inexpensive and have been far superior to my old Shun & J. Henkel knives I've had in the past. They've lasted close to a decade going through that sharpener with zero issues so I'm not super concerned about it.
  22. I can't handle a cluttered look. I have an in-drawer knife block. It's the best way to store knives, IMO.
  23. You don't realize how uncomfortable sitting on a wallet is until you go front pocket. I can't imagine going back to the stone ages with a bi or tri fold. There's also the convenience of flashing your ID without having to open a wallet and remove it. Previously, I wouldn't have thought saving 5 seconds would be a game changer, but it is.
  24. Once you go front pocket wallet, you won’t go back. Travelambo Front Pocket Minimalist Leather Slim Wallet RFID Blocking Medium Size https://a.co/d/jgyhqOr
  25. Man, Paramount+’s studio hosts are unbearable. I love Henry but I’m not sure he even watches the match.
