So .25" over Lake Travis and 8" in La Grange.

Made this for dinner last night. Well over an hour of prep time, but it was outstanding. This Homesick Texan lady puts some real though and effort into her recipes. I have made her carrot soufflé a couple times now - its extremely close to Tejas Chocolate + Barbecue (my favorite non-traditional side in Texas barbecue).

Turrible SEC for Gata. 19 RPI. i’d like to sneak into a 3 seed at some bullshit regional, but we’re probably gonna be swept by you assholes.

If my Aunt had balls, she'd be my Uncle. If frogs had pockets, they'd live longer.

Up next is Leicester away. Our best chance to get off 11 points and not be tied for worst points total in PL history. Leicester haven't scored a goal at home in the League since 8th December. So you know.. won't end well for Saints.

Even if we win tonight I have zero faith we can win the series with our inconsistent we have played. -
I have enjoyed the show. I just didn't care for the boring drawn out bullshit. Move the fuck on. For some folks on here evidently an ounce of any criticism means you hate everything. Gotdammit to hell. and if I hurt my thumb, I'm not going to ask you to kick me in the nuts( Phantom Menace) to make me forget my thumb.

Coming back to this, because was this an attempt at a bribe? Probably. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/meta-zuckerberg-ftc-lawsuit-trump-b2734360.html The gist of the story is this: The FTC feels their case is pretty strong, and they talked about settling with Instabook for $30 BILLION and a consent decree. This offer came from Andrew Ferguson, Trump's new head of the FTC. Zuck's counter offer, $450 Million and a few changes in policies. When Ferguson said no deal, Zuck went to Trump directly in Feb & March, almost got the deal accepted but Ferguson's team convinced the administration to let the lawsuit continue. The WSJ has the full story, but that is behind a paywall - https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/mark-zuckerberg-meta-antitrust-ftc-negotiations-a53b3382 L fucking O L

TFO is good, but I'm kinda moving on. I think for a casual angler it's pretty damn good. my original 5 wt is TFO, I might check out a few others of theirs for a replacement 5 wt, but my 3 wt sage, 8 wt scott and 12 wt thomas & thomas are noticeably more enjoyable to fish. I may find for my preferences that a different make of a TFO 5 wt would work well (for the lighter weight rods I tend to like slower action, fish are less powerful, often times a dry fly, and distance casting isn't as big of an issue), but I haven't looked into it. but to be fair at the time that TFO 5 wt (9 ft) was like $200 and my 3 wt sage (8 ft) was $1000 and the inflation issue let's see I bought the TFO in 2020 and the sage in 2024. it's pretty clear the TFO is still a budget / value brand, so long way of saying, yeah TFO is good. the Ross colorado 3 wt reel is what I have (Damor mentions the same reel) is great. and I just re-read Chew's budget, under $1000, TFO and that ross reel is probably a really nice set up for the price.

yes

This is what I don’t get—they seriously thought every Texas/A&M matchup that wasn’t home/home should have been played in College Station as their consolation prize. They had to know that wasn’t going to happen, or maybe they all are that dumb.
-
Scary shit. Glad nothing like that has happened to anyone here. Wait.
-
They should start with 34 photos of Trump.

I’m somewhere between a grimace and a laugh about that one (since I’m paying into it), but the fact that Austin voters approved that particular bond was insane. Let’s raise taxes by $171 million so we can keep $41 million of it. I guarantee you if we could deploy $171 million for the 2026 election we’d run this state, update the recapture formula, and maybe have a more permanent solution.

We should have started Goosby in the oh state game. <sigh> Oh well…Shoulda, coulda, and woulda…

Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes. Are they also going to put up pictures of all the legal residents who commit crimes? I don't think the White House lawn is big enough.
-
aggy will find a way to get swept.
-
is Tony Gilroy a golf nut? or one of the other writers? maybe this is covered in one of those YouTube Easter egg videos for Andor, but one of the dudes from the Ministry of Enlightenment is named Dee Shambo. i mean, come on.

Look, it's obvious Sankey put his finger on the scale. It's unfair to have them play us anywhere other than College Station in any sport, it's unfair that the umps were in our back pocket, it's unfair that the SEC gave us a soft schedule, it's unfair that they are a bunch of no-talent, water-headed ass clowns.
