  1. I think he is saying A&M will fire Jimbo with cause, not Jimbo leaving. And I think Jimbo has $86m left on his contract.

This is such a horrendous accusation, you have to protect you & your family’s mental well-being first. Although he might be falsely accused, you have to begin to accept the possibility he is guilty, no matter how much you think you know him. It really sucks since no matter what happens, there will be no winners. TLDR: Protect your family first & limit your involvement in his battle.

  5. The Leona General Store is awesome & is about 8 miles south of Centerville. https://www.instagram.com/leonageneral/ Note: The wait can be long & it’s only opened for dinner Friday & Saturday (steak/chicken), with all-you-can-eat catfish on Thursday evening.
  6. Will ticket prices drop significantly between now and the game? I would imagine a few days before, prices will be much lower than now.
  7. Not trying to promote Apple but the iPhone 14 looks like something moose needs to pick up: https://mustreadalaska.com/apple-a-day-snowmachiners-life-saved-with-new-apple-iphone-14-sos-feature/
  8. Lower enrollment due to less kids: https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23428166/college-enrollment-population-education-crash
  9. Best review of the book on Amazon: Little did he know what a GRRM eternity really meant...
  10. Heads up - here is a list of chapters and corresponding POV characters for book 4: Just wanted to give you a warning since you might be expecting all of the previous series characters to have a chapter in the book but they do not.
  11. The scenario that Neonmoon describes what we are looking for. I would like to move quickly on buying a new home if we see something we really like instead of waiting for ours to hit the market & sell. I also like the idea of moving into the new home before putting the old on the market & not have to deal with the hassle of showing the house & the rush to get out of it when it does close. Thanks - that’s exactly what I was seeing with Fly but I didn’t realize the steep fee. Outside of costs, are there any gotaches? The reviews for Fly seem overwhelming good but you know how those can be manipulated. My understanding is that you typically use your own mortgage company - is that also correct? Thanks for the insight!
  12. Has anyone had any experience with using a service like Flyhomes? I’m more interested in using them as a bridge loan service. They seem to have a good reputation but wanted any input from this group. Thoughts? Are they Good? Bad? Should I look at using a standard bridge loan instead?

  15. Here is video of the Tuned Mass Damper on Taipei 101 during the earthquake:

  17. No way Cheney runs in the General election as an independent. She despises Trump and wouldn’t want to give him the election by taking votes away from Biden. She might have an ego & be ultra-conservative but she won’t do anything to help Trump win. Either she wins the GOP nomination & faces Biden in November or she loses & attacks Trump via the Lincoln Project, etc. My guess is she is hoping that come ‘24, Trump won’t be able to run or will be severely weakened due to the mountain of issues he will be facing. If that is the case, she will be one of the early front runners in the GOP primary.
  18. SIAP but I found this video interviewing folks living in Clarksville before Mopac was built: A couple notes: 1. The crosstown expressway they mention throughout the film never got built. It was going to connect Mopac & I-35 via Enfield/15th street. 2. Seymour Washington, the blacksmith, was also featured in the segment with Townes Van Zandt in the documentary Heartworn Highways (trailer). 3. Apparently East Austin was still pretty rough in the 70s.

  20. The cab industry killed the cab industry. Cab companies were so shitty that they had a government enforced monopoly & they still failed. Uber/Lyft will return to normal over the next few months once people feel more comfortable in enclosed spaces & as people roll off government assistance.
