  1. Definitely shop around. When I bought my kid a car last November, Austin Subaru was marking up cars $4,000. West Houston Subaru sold cars at MSRP. A $150 one way flight and a $70 Uber ride to pick up the car was well worth the savings.

  3. It was a genetic marker that made me more likely to convert excess carbs to cholesterol.
  4. Also, LDL isn't a good indicator by itself. Mine was like 40. Also, my HDL was even lower and barely measurable (which was bad). I still had 90% blockage on two vessels. There's an excellent bloodwork panel by Boston Diagnostics that you can get done at Any Lab Test Now. They'll send you a 20 page booklet on your results. It showed that while I had minimal LDL, my liver was still creating a ton of bad cholesterol from carbs and that was causing the blockage.
  5. Do you want all those STDs blown all across the country?
  6. I think that was the play. Let the media spread the fear due to his name, sink the market for a couple of days, and make some solid money. He could rinse and repeat a few times a year with the same result.
  7. I've argued that's what AISD should do that but someone on here said the recapture formula accounts for that scenario so it's not possible.
  8. That's the only downside. I couldn't figure it out either but I just googled maltodextrin and it's a straight carbohydrate powder used as a sweetener. 100g of maltodextrin contains 97g of carbs.
  9. S&P 500 market cap is $33.5 TRILLION. His puts equals around 0.002%.
  10. These slam and go hard. Gonna go and buy them out tomorrow.
  11. Last Voyage of the Demeter. It’s the untold story of the ship that brought Dracula from Romania to England. This was pretty good. It’s basically Alien on a boat. Long on atmosphere and suspense. It set up a sequel nicely so we will see if they make enough money to get it made. I’m sure this was low budget but every dollar made it on the screen and it looks really good.
  12. Prison guard starts having contractions at work 2 months early and asks to go to ER. Manager says she can’t leave. She finally gets to ER hours later. The baby is dead and doctors said they could’ve saved the baby if she’d gotten to the hospital sooner. Family sues the Texas Dept of Criminal Justice and prison officials. The Texas AG argues that the fetus didn’t have a right to life. This fucking state. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/08/11/texas-prison-lawsuit-fetal-rights/
  13. Wasn’t part of the rationale for the take over under performance in Special Ed or was that the reasoning for wanting to take over AISD? I can’t keep the excuses straight any longer.
  14. Every single game we stop attacking with the lead, we get caught flat footed. I don’t know why we insist on acting like a 2 goal lead is enough after 45 minutes.
  15. Havertz has no pace with the ball. Just so lackadaisical. It’s like he plays for Austin with how he allows the defense to find its shape before he moves forward.
  16. Finally kicking off. Delayed because the new ticketing system didn’t allow any fans to enter the stadium.
  17. A friend teaches at Bridge Point off 360 and a few years ago a family went ballistic on the school because there was a single reference in a book where a character said something like “I will ask my dads.” Nothing else in the book other than that one “s”. Totally snowflakes.
  18. There’s starting to be some smoke about Apple buying Disney’s movie/TV IP and studios. The parks would spin off into its own company with a long term licensing agreement to existing and future IP.
  19. Man, if the Mormons, who are not known to have any weird sexual proclivities, are getting caught up in this, is there any hope for anyone?!!?
  20. My youngest has outgrown D+. I can't remember the last time she watched it. She mainly watches the tween live action shows on Netflix or wherever Nick is located (Peacock?). My oldest watches zero TV shows. She may watch a movie twice a month. My wife and I don't watch that much TV, maybe 1-2 shows a month, but we are pretty evenly split between Apple TV and HBO Max. Maybe every 5th show, there will be one from a difference streaming service.
  21. The biggest benefit of the Alamo is that the riff raff and unchaperoned kids stay away.
