  7. Join me as we time travel back to 2025 and Revenge of the Sith brings in $42 million Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 20th anniversary - Box Office Mojo
  8. I didn't listen to Transference very much due to the relatively poor reviews as I didn't want to be disappointed. I think people had lofty expectations after Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, and Britt & Co. decided to throw a curveball with Transference. Listening to it now, I really like the album. This is a fucking jam.

    Spoon

    I asked Britt & Jim about the name once -- they claimed (perhaps in hindsight) it was a riff on "Can" and I believe "Wire". Ultimately, I think a band name starts to disassociate from the meaning of the word. I'm not sure many late-era REM and U2 fans understand the back stories.
  10. I don't drink beer anymore, either. But that reel is amazing. Too bad it's a 4/5 weight.
  11. A few years ago I pitched a couple of school board members that AISD could solve several problems at once by redeveloping AISD properties and even school campuses to offer housing to teachers, staff, city and county employees, and families with children enrolled in AISD schools. The families would get slightly below market rate rental housing in 3 and 4 bedroom apartment, row home and courtyard bungalow units. The district would get an infusion of young families with kids AND a recruiting and retention tool, and by offering it to other parts of the public sector AISD would strengthen interagency cooperation and open up other potential sources for financing and land. It also makes transportation more efficient, etc. Because, you see, AISD’s biggest problem is a mismatch between the places where the schools are (Austin) and the places where young families and teachers can afford to live (suburbs). Anyway, one said it seemed like “a cash grab for developers.” The other said “the neighborhood groups will burn me at the stake if I suggested something like this.”
  12. Note to self. Begin every candidate interview with - "Did you participate in J6?" "Yes? Thank you for your time. Not validating your parking pass."
  13. Hate

    Andor

    How did I miss this terrible post? Stellan Skargard has been spectacular throughout this series.
  14. So are dead legs.
  15. I love when aggys get so desperate they start to lie about their personal lives. Wood still PIIHB tho.
  16. That's some real penthouse to outhouse stuff right there.
  17. Duplantier threw some meaty pitches up there that inning. Pure BP stuff.
  18. Probably takes a lot of drinks for a big ol fucker like him to get drunk. Walk/ uber hell take a scooter.
  19. You want to include fruit under vegetables, ok with me. "Fruit" has seed, rest of the plant is non-fruit, but all vege. I wouldn't call a mushroom a plant, although it's a fruit of a fungus, so there's that.
  20. Is your family from East Texas?
  21. Was just told (haven’t verified) that 3 people have died in Mammoth Lakes, CA from Hanta virus.
  22. James Simon looks pretty big there standing next to Cooper.
  23. Gilroy is obsessed with history and revolutions, as said by many of the actors in several interviews, and I have a lot of faith - he started and then brought a lot of arcs to a close last week that were clearly meant to get us to the brink. I think last week's episodes are the last of "normalcy" we see in Andor - I will not be surprised if this week's episodes are Mon Mothma becoming the head of the resistance, because we will only be a few years out from the Battle of Yavin.
  24. You need to go somewhere you are comfortable, confident in the treatment, and is willing to get second opinions. My wifes ENT here, when we went over the first biopsy said that he would go to Memorial Sloan Kettering or MDA for cancer, and to Mayo if there was uncertainty in diagnosis or treatment. Since we were familiar with MDA from our years living in Houston, it was an easy choice for us. Good luck @Dbeasy , I think it all depends on your diagnosis - there are only 1 or 2 places on the planet who have a treatment for my wifes cancer. But if you have a more common type then there are certainly other choices. I will say, maybe again, that we met several people during radiation, and there were at MDA because they were misdiagnosed in their first treatment, and therefore the treatment was not successful; and they were at MDA with a new diagnosis, then going through an entire second treatment regimen. One of the things that is on some of the MDA advertising is a slogan "where you go first for treatment matters" - we have come to believe that. If nothing else, it is certainly worth getting a second opinion to confirm diagnosis and treatment.
  25. I'm convinced there are two things that kept them from making it big. 1. The band name Spoon. It just kinda sucks. 2. Britt Daniel is not classically handsome in a post-MTV world. Send them in a time machine to the 70s and they would have been huge.
