So EJ and Roach's source on Wright is a pair of gloves...nice. I guess we're getting Noah Cain and Chris Steele too. #IfTheGlovesFitYouMustCommit

You buy the wife new boobs and you won't be needing that lawnmower anymore when you're living in an apartment after she takes half your shit in a divorce.

Ah yes, the classic aggy recruiting reporter method of letting the sheeple down slowly. It used to be, "stone cold locks to aggy." Then it was Green and Shepperd "are getting better acquainted" with the UT staff. Now it's "Texas has gotten its foot in the door but I think both still end up at A&M." Soon it will be, it's a close race and Texas has pulled even. They'll keep that line going for a while even though they know UT is in the lead and then finally, it will all be capped off with a glorious Perroni CB for both to Texas. This happens every year and yet I never grow tired of it.

She would have gotten off more shots, but her gun kept doing this....

A few little corrections.

That Logan Paul has gone too far this time

I don't know how I survived living in a border town with all these horrible rapist and murders caravaning over the bridge. Thank goodness we have Trump now.

One time when I was testifying as an expert witness (computer forensics) I had a prosecutor come at me pretty hard. I could tell where the line of questioning was going and knew they were about to fuck up. Finally when I said "no" to a question the prosecutor reacted incredulously and repeated the question with me again saying "no." Bitch went off on me and claimed I was contradicting submitted evidence. I immediately explained her understanding of the tech involved was wrong (I mean completely ass backwards) she cut me off literally said "don't play games with me." I quickly responded "'I'm not, you are mixing up..." she cuts me off again clearly embarrassed, I look towards the judge biting my tongue trying to not grin when the defense steps in. I remember holding my breath to fight the urge to laugh. She clearly didn't understand the evidence or didn't put any effort into preparing for my testimony. These people are major dicks.

Derka negged me for creating this so...

Ooooh. Somebody called me reputable. Gonna throw that on the ole resume.

DeMarvin Leal has pretty much zero interest in ATM. He's being polite.

Having to click a heart to like some dude's post. It seems somewhat faget.

In a way, Putin already has Trump fucking a pig on national television regularly a la Black Mirror. You need to lighten up on Huckabeef, man.

I dunno -- it's Youtube. I'll tell you as soon as this ad quits playing.

Tarp I underlined some fun parts

Disagree. I just want a normal president. Obama, Bush Jr, Clinton, Bush sr, Reagan, Carter, any of those guys plus I will take Romney, McCain, Dole, Gore, I mean anyone that is normal, ethical, lived a life of service and understands that the office of the presidency is bigger than any one person and it is to be respected and revered. I dont even really care about their policies at this point. I just want an ethical, moral person.

For me-

hate to be the rainshower, but that video is fake - the screaming kids are actually reacting to a terrifying easter bunny

You really are the biggest fucking liar around. Read your OP. So are you lying to us or are you intentionally committing fraud again? The Sonata Plug in hybrid gets a credit of $4,919. The fully electric Ioniq gets a credit of $7,500. Did you swap out the Sonata for an Ioniq this morning? Its far more likely that you didn't buy either one.

Then I'll have to put my crystal ball in for the Carlisle Indian Industrial School.

Best one John Wayne did

Dude neg all you want, I think it's fun to point out how the right-wing troll babies here work. What you quoted has NOTHING to do with Reich's work. He's talking about Harris and Murray (not geneticists), as he mentions in the next paragraph that you do not quote for some not-at-all-mysterious reason. By the way, here is Robert Reich himself expressing concern with how actual science (i.e. - the shit he does and that Murray, Harris, and Sullivan DO NOT do) can be used for racist ends... That sounds precisely like Klein's point and that's from the Reich op-ed that Sullivan is partially talking about and that I'm guessing neither you nor Tahoe actually read. So to repeat: Klein has no beef with the actual scientist (Reich). Klein has a beef with the demagogue non-scientists (Murray, Sullivan, and to an extent, Harris) Keep negging because your arguments are shit. edit Here are all paragraphs in which Klein mentions Reich. That's it. That's literally the two paragraphs out of the dozens in Klein's op-ed in which he discusses Reich at all, and none of it could be reasonably construed as anything but neutral or positive.

Rockofeller.

Because they are lawyers.

Leeeeeroyyyy JENK!

Warning: I'm a building/ infrastructure dork. Skip to end of post to news about Airpot Food. Cap Metro announced different options of eventually getting transit to the airport. Personally, I don't think there is a real need for rail to the airport until we have a 2nd terminal and double the amount of daily employees but rail to the airport makes dicks hard for some reason. Both options are extensions of a Riverside Rail/BRT line that starts at Downtown (4th and Guad). Option 1: Line stays on Riverside at 71 intersection and hits Airport's west side. It tunnels underneath the runway/taxiway to get to the area near the new airport admin offices, public garage and rental car facility. There is a strong possibility that this is the future entrance of the main terminal but we won't know until later this year. This might be a problem since it would require East-West tunneling and the airport has to reserve North-South tunneling for future roadway connections between the north and south. I'm sure it's still doable but might require deeper tunnel. Option 2: Line turns from Riverside to 71 and terminates at airport entrance near 71. After thinking about it, I kind of like this option better because it would be way cheaper and serve as a possible continuation point to Del Valley/COTA as it grows. It could also go to the planned (NOT FUNDED) high speed rail from Dallas to Mexico which would pass east of the airport in Austin. Again, It would be way way way way cheaper. People would need to take some kind of connection vehicle from the rail stop to the terminal and the Master Plan has thrown around installation a smart transit system at the airport like Modutram, vector or 2getthere. The smart transit system would link together the terminal with the rail stop, hilton hotel, and other shit on the grounds. New Master Plan Work continues on the new Master Plan. It is scheduled to be formally submitted for approval by ABIA by may but will have to go to council after that. It will basically govern airport expansion over the next 20 years. The next expansion could be a brand new terminal south of the tower. Another possible terminal expansion option is adding 2 piers to the southside of the main terminal which would add 30 more gates. However, the increase in passenger capacity which would require the old short term garage to be demolished so a new processing/security/baggage facility could be built in order to support the additional passengers. That would mean the main entrance to the terminal would be in front of the two new garages. The existing security/bagage area would be incorporated into front of house (past security) use so everything wouldn't be so damned cramped. The new garage on Lot A will more than replace the loss of the old short term garage. New Runways Part of the new plan is also looking at the runway situation. The current east runway needs maintenance which might mean a 3rd runway will be needed earlier than traffic dictates. The best option for the airport is to build a Far East runway but it would require moving all or most of the Travis County Prison, Closing FM 973, burying 130, building on flood land and buying out some people's houses. So....fucking expensive. The advantage is that it would be far enough away from the current east runway that it could have simultaneous takeoffs and landings. There are options to build parallel runways next to the existing runways but they would be too close to have simultaneous operations. The super cheap option is to build a 3rd runway between the west runway and main terminal but it can't operate independently from the west runway and would restrict further westward expansion of the main terminal which you might want if your plan is to build a new operations facility where the old short term garage is. Airport Interested in Leasing Open Land The city put out a call for interest in land on the west side of the airport. The portion closest to 183 would be aviation themed retail but the bulk of the land would be for some kind of cargo/plane operation that could support 8 cargo buildings, tons of truck docks and staging and 25-30 parked planes.That could be someone like Amazon that wants to start their own airline fleet and needs space for their planes and facility for managing cargo or Delta for maintaining a fleet of planes if they are expanding Austin service. This is to see who is formally interested in the land and what they would do with it. The airport would have to put out a subsequent request for proposals to start the process of actually signing a deal with another company. I think the hope is that Delta would submit formal interest to using some of the land to house offices/planes for expanded future operations at ABIA but it could also be a move to generate more money from expanded freight operations from Fedex or UPS. Current Construction Projects - 9 Gate Extension of Main Terminal eastward and increased taxiway/pavement(2019). Expanded section will be much wider than the rest of the airport and provide a %30 increase in concourse space. Along with nine new gates, the expansion includes the replacement of three existing gates, and all gates can accommodate domestic airline operations. Four gates will accommodate international flights. The expanded terminal will accommodate approximately 4 million additional passengers per year for a total of 15 million annual passengers – an increase of 27 percent. New stores in the expansion include: 24 Diner, Parkside, and a duty free store. -Admin Office Building(2019) and Parking Garage (2018). The former Lot A location accommodated 1,021 parking spaces. The new garage with 6,000 significantly increases parking capacity in that area. Project also includes new entry plazas to the parking lots, garages and to the Rental Car Facility Enlarging and upgrading the north exit plaza to meet the demands of the expanded parking operations. Also Upgrades to signs along Presidential Blvd. -New Consolidated Maintenance Complex. 6-7 building complex at the far northeast end of the airport grounds that will house all of the maintenance needs of the airport which (IIRC) will allow for all of those old airfare buildings near the tower and south terminal to be demolished. It should start construction soon. -ABIA Retail and New Cell Phone Lot (2018) Just off Presidential Blvd. and Spirit of Texas Drive, at the same site as the previous free cell phone lot, construction has progressed to the tenant improvement phase. Texaco brand gasoline will be sold at the station and a 2,600 square foot Austin Java coffee store will operate with a drive-thru. A duel Subway sandwich restaurant and TacoN Mama location will operate at the site. The gas pumps and 4,500 square foot convenience store are estimated to open in May of 2018 with the restaurants following a month later. March Construction Update -A total of 284 of the estimated 310 concrete piers needed have been placed as the work to construct the Austin airport’s new 6,000 parking space garage continues. Piers reaching depths up to 71-feet and ranging from 24 to 66-inches in diameter will support the new six-story parking garage -The construction of ABIA Retail, the new cell phone lot, gas station, convenience store and restaurants, is nearly 85 percent complete. -Delta Air Lines announced the inclusion of a 9,000 square foot Delta Sky Club to be located in the 9-gate expansion of the Barbara Jordan Terminal that is currently under constructio -Construction work to replace and modernize bag Carousel 3 has started. Carousel 1 was updated last year. Food and Store News -The construction wall near Gate 8 signifies the building of a new Departure Lounge and Berry Austin frozen yogurt at the Austin airport. An upscale interactive travel discovery location, the 1,230 square foot Departure Lounge will showcase future travel vacations and getaways. The lounge will offer appointments with travel advisors and serve organic coffees, small- batch boutique wines, artisan chocolates, and cheeses. The new 300 square foot Berry Austin airport location will offer uniquely flavored yogurt recipes from founder Kathy Steele, who opened her flagship location in central Austin in 2009. With 10 flavors of frozen yogurt and 50 available toppings, Berry Austin will also offer smoothies, parfaits, floats and other treats. -BookPeople, the largest independently-owned bookstore in Austin is open at its re-designed location at the Austin airport.

The last living starter of the 1947 and 1948 Texas Longhorn football teams is gone. Lew Holder (“Coach” to us, his grandkids) was a 3 year letterman at Texas and roomed with his DKE fraternity brother, Tom Landry, for whom he’d later serve as best man at his wedding. Here he is pictured left with Landry. Lew was named to the Press 1948 All-Southwest Football Team It’s kinda funny because three of those guys had grandsons that played on the 2001-2002 HP Scot Football Teams (Doak Walker, Lew Holder, and Lindy Berry). Coach was about as bad-assed as they came. There’s also the old story about him in the game against TCU in 1947. In the era before facemasks, Lew was charged to rush the punter against the Frogs. He blocked the living hell out of it…with his face, which caused him to lose multiple teeth. He ran to the sideline, spit out his four front teeth into a metal bucket, and returned to the field to play some more. Lew’s finest hour as a Longhorn occurred on January 1, 1948, in Tulane Stadium in New Orleans. With 7 minutes to play in the 4th quarter, Texas led favored Alabama, 13-7. Alabama had the ball at its own 10 yard line when Lew intercepted a pass and returned it 18 yards for a touchdown and a 20-7 lead for Texas. After the ensuing kick-off, Lew sacked the QB on 1st down and then on 3rd down stripped the ball from the quarterback’s hands and recovered on the Alabama 5 yard line. A few plays later Bobby Lane punched in a quarterback sneak sealing a 27-7 victory and Texas’ first and only Sugar Bowl title. If you’d like to view Lew’s heroics in this game, watch the period of time from the 32:00 minute mark to the 35:00 minute mark on the video at the bottom of this article: https://allstatesugarbowl.org/classic/1948-game-recap/ Coach then tried his luck at pro ball with the AAFC’s Los Angeles Dons: But, if I remember correctly, he hated living in California and this was obviously well before big money contracts allowed a pro football player to be set for life in just 6-10 years, so he headed back to Texas and left his athletics career in LA. My grandmother was married to my grandfather in that approximate time period, but my grandfather passed away at the age of 30 in 1962. As luck would have it, my widowed grandmother living with her 3 young children, would later meet and ultimately marry this fine man and would remain so, through thick and thin, until this past Thursday morning as he passed peacefully in his sleep. I know the normal protocol is to offer condolences for a “loss,” but the truth is that his peaceful passing was a relief to all of us, most of all to himself. He had recently battled multiple strokes over the past few years and had several severe falls that basically rendered him bedridden for the last couple years of his life. That was no way for one of life’s giants to live. You have to understand, from the age of 7 when I was first exposed to it until the age of 21 when I could finally take it (or he could no longer dish it out), I hated shaking his hand because he had a grip that would crush the neck of a grizzly bear. In fact I was just told this morning that it was recently discovered that he had a hairline fracture in either his back or hip that could very well have occurred in his playing days at UT, but no one would ever have known it in watching him. We will be holding a memorial service for him next weekend, but make no mistake, this will be no funeral. This will be the celebration of the life of one of the finest men I have ever known. We love him dearly, and we know he’s finally at peace. Hook 'Em Horns, Coach.

From reading this guy's threads on shaggy and his threads now I have one question: What did the black man do to you? Traumatized your bumpkin ass.

They are cops with law degrees. What do you expect? Bernard

Was modifying the yardage presets for the ballistic turret on my Swaro tonight. I polished the action awhile back on this Sako and now it’s damn smooth. Just cycling the bolt gets my blood pumping like no other firearm ever has. The patina on the bolt handle is changing with more use, building more character. This old gun is becoming a favorite, can’t wait to take it hunting again. .375 H&H with .223 for scale:

Different font types - serifs, sans serifs, curved. Not too serious about the last one. #1 #2 #3 #4

The fallacy is in equating "race" with "distinct subpopulations." Oh, and I read the whole article. All "black people" are not the same subpopulation. Same with all "asians" or "white people." For example, the white subpopulation that has developed in Norway since the Vikings settled down may indeed have some genetic strength with respect to standard IQ testing. The white subpopulation that has developed in, for example, Alabama, has not. Chuck the concept of "race." It's an outmoded, stupid, intellectually limited and lazy way of looking at genetics. The fact that this idea is championed loudest by people like Tahoe even further discredits it. Yes, it does. Kind of like how I laughed on the West Mall when I walked by the "legalize hemp" table. These guys were great at explaining how it was totally NOT about legalizing marijuana as a drug, and hemp is awesome, you can make rope, and clothes, and it will be great for farmers. Great....but, ummm....if it's totally NOT about legalizing weed, then why were those guys ALWAYS total stoners? If it's totally NOT about race....than why is it always old white guys from Alabama pushing this shit? Because they want to reinforce their own lazy thinking. If you'd have said "genetics and genetically distinct subpopulations," you might have a smidgen more credibility here. There are folks who do genetic research that ties to subpopulations. There are others who want to revive the thinking of Samuel Morton. You know which group you fall into. it's lazy jackasses like you who are actually the greatest impediment to such in-depth genetic research, because you wait ravenously in the wings, drooling at the prospect of extracting each and every data point that validates your pre-existing prejudices.

You’re an idiot. The rise of nationalist parties in France and Germany and Greece and Italy and Hungary and Poland, etc, is responsible for reigniting anti-semitism in Europe. It’s not “suddenly” a problem, you dolt. It’s long been a problem. Do you remember something called World War II? It’s just now more acceptable to Be an anti-Semite in the guise of political expression. But don’t let your hatred of brown people get in the way of blaming anti-semitism on immigrants.

The season is way too long and everyone knows only about 5 or 6 teams have a shot to win a title because of the 7 game series playoffs. People these days who arent hard core baseball fans just dont have the time or pantience for this shit. Way too many things competing for entertainment time now. I just watched the opening series and now I'm done watching any baseball until october as there's just no intrigue in any of it. The NFL is king because it perfectly fits the new millenium American to a tee. Only 16 games season so every game is crucial for your team. Playoffs are single game elimination so more teams have a shot to make noise in the playoffs. I'd change baseball (and NBA/NHL for that matter) to 20 game seasons with every team playing one game a week on Saturday or Sunday with no bye weeks. Playoffs are best of 3 series throughout. You can charge a lot more money per game since so few games and every game will be must see for your team.

I’m prepping a lawsuit against Kevin Morgan to regain ownership of the Bernard Forum. Until the judge gives a ruling, we’ll just have to keep all the tales of lying, cheating, thieving, assuaging and murdering cops (and their colleagues who cover for them) in the yet-to-be-named News forum. The boot lickers and those who prefer to bury their heads in the sand, will just have to deal with it. Bernard
