What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Steamboat1874 replied to crash_davis's topic in Daily Texan
Trains are stupid at this point. Any mass transportation system needs to be elevated and not street level fucking up the traffic worse than it already is. Underground is way too expensive, street level fucks shit up. An elevated system can have a minimal ground level footprint too meaning it can be built along many of the main roads. E trains? Monorail? Gondolas? -
Makes sense. It came with the ovens already. Damnit. Should’ve known I would’ve been beaten to the punch on that one.

Hell, they hired Elko away from Duke before Duke's bowl game. That's a lot more crass than waiting for a guy to lose play in the national championship game before you ink the deal.

Markets still falling like whoa
Incredulity replied to Llano Estacado's topic in Business and Markets
What day was "liberation day"? What day does Q1 end? The narrative for the last several weeks is Q2 will be the problem and Q1 was inflated because of pull forward buying to avoid tariffs. -
I was happy to see the White House complained about Amazon attaching the cost of the price increases to the tariffs in billing paperwork. Even though Amazon crawfished - his followers do not watch real news and never would’ve known of the Amazon policy if they hadn’t overreacted in such a childish way. His followers do watch news from the White House and his social media vomiting, and now a lot of them learned for the first time that the tariff costs were going to be passed on to them. I swear to God, half of those smooth brains still think China is paying the tariff

I don't know how many times I heard about the "Trump Bump" when the stock market went up after the election/prior to the inauguration. So, that was all from the coming economic wizardry of Dear Leader, but now that he's been in office for 100 days we are still "suffering" from Bidenomics?

Can’t wait till the free states overturn the socialist states right to grow legalized weed, based on state rights and less government intrusion.

This has been true forever. Excluding alcohol, which everyone knows has a huge markup, cokes, tea, coffee, etc, go a long way towards profitability. 20+ years ago, I believe the cost of what an average diner would drink was 1.5 cents worth of product/labor. And you were charged $1 or $2 dollars for it. Jesus. I need to get off this thread.

State will never do anything to fix it because they want the problem to exist so they can paint Austin in a bad light. I want to figure out the solution but I can tell you I will not be voting for higher taxes to do it. Enough!?

Seems like it fits.

If ABC fires him for confronting the President of the United States about an indisputable fact, let's just pack it up and go home. This shit's over.

People actually care about this. The giant planet-killing meteor cannot get here soon enough. -
ESPN front page, an MLB update about how the NL is "vastly" superior to the AL at this point in the season. Two of the teams they highlight, NYM and SD have lost series to Houston. I'm gruntled. Get Diaz, Walker and Yordan batting over .220 (baby steps) and we really might be cookin with gas.

this is the exact opposite of my experience. lyft is almost always far cheaper than uber.

That's some really really shitty reporting. Like legitimately almost everything is completely false in that article.

Senior Citizen Issues - Assisting Your Parents
Ghost of NMAS replied to ROFL BOX's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
I know this is TLDR, but I just need to vent a little. My mom is 95 and still lives alone. Two years ago, she fell and hit her head, and I found her unresponsive in bed the next morning. She had bleeding on her brain and had to have a hole drilled in her head to drain fluid. She has fully recovered physically, but her mental faculties have taken a pretty severe decline. It's not like dementia; she recognizes everyone, and her long-term memory is still good, but her short-term memory is just about completely gone. I end up having virtually the same conversation with her every day. She lives in the same townhouse that she and my dad lived in for 40 years, so she is really comfortable there and can function reasonably well there. She has just about completely lost the ability to operate any technology. I had to have her oven replaced, and she can't operate it at all. She can still operate her microwave and her coffee pot, but if either one dies, and I can't replace it with the exact same one, she will probably lose that ability. I have a caretaker who comes five mornings a week and makes sure she gets up, gets dressed, and has breakfast. She has a housekeeper who comes and cleans and does laundry. I go over every day in the afternoon and sit with her for a while, make dinner, and make sure that everything is turned off before I leave. I do all of her shopping, take her to all of her doctor and dental appointments, make sure that all of her prescriptions are filled, and that she takes her medicine every day. If something at her house needs fixing, I'll take care of that. I used to take her to church on Sunday, but thankfully, she now prefers just to watch it on tv. Of course, she can't operate her tv anymore, so I have to be there every Sunday morning for that. I have three siblings, but none of them live very close (Austin, Baytown, and Bellville). Thankfully my two sisters do come in every Friday so that I get a day off. One of my sisters does handle all of her finances, so at least I don't have to worry about that. I don't really worry too much about her being alone because all she does it sit in her chair and read her western novels. I do have to keep her well supplied with those, although with her memory problems she can read them over and over again. My two sisters have been talking about moving her to an assisted living facility, but I know that if that happens she will die within a few months. Her mother was just like that. She lived alone in her house in Wharton until she was 95, She got sick and my mom moved her to an assisted living facility near her in Houston, and she died within a few months. My mom does love my dog Sebastian, so he goes with me to her house on most days, but I have to be careful that he doesn't knock her over (he weighs 86 lbs). My mom lives close to Tanglewood dog park, so Sebastian and I usually stop there for a while and decompress a little. Taking care of my mother every day, and my Autistic and intellectually impaired daughter four days a week gets a little overwhelming at times. On Sundays, cook a big lunch after church, so I don't have to go back and cook dinner for her. Usually, on Sunday after my daughter's soccer practice, Sebastian and I will go to the ranch and spend the night. He loves to run all over it and chase the Longhorns, and I get a chance to just sit on the porch and chill. As long as I am back in Houston on Monday afternoon it usually works out fine. I am at the point now that I am seriously considering selling my house and moving in with my mom. She has two bedrooms upstairs that I could move into, and she never goes upstairs any way (thankfully). The only real down side to that is Sebastian. I think it would be a little difficult for him without any kind of a yard. My mom's townhouse only has an atrium that's about 10 feet by 20 feet, and that's not very much for a dog his size. Sebastian has been my rock through all of this. He can sense when I'm feeling down and he'll come over and nudge my hand until I start petting him to calm down. His favorite pastime is to lay next to me on the sofa, with his head in my lap, and sleep while I watch Longhorn baseball. Any way, that's my life. If you actually read any of this, I thank you. I feel better just typing it out. -

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Had Enough replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Sark has been an NFL coach of late. His offense is not gimmicky. He understands the value in recruiting with respect to guys succeeding at the next level. He coached a 1st rounder recently. Sarks resume would indicate there’s some benefit in playing for him to benefit you at the next level. Injury concerns and footwork inconsistency are dings on his resume that are not necessarily failures to knowing how to play QB. I’ve never been Ewers biggest fan but taking flyers on some of those other guys over him is odd. And a number of teams were not in the market for a QB.
