  1. I've heard that at St. Mary's Law School, the Texas Civ Pro professor used to say there were two court systems in Texas. The students assumed the prof meant Federal Court and State Court. What he actually meant, and told the students, was the court system north of San Antonio, and the Court system south of San Antonio/into the Rio Grande Valley. Having experience with trying family law cases south of San Antonio on several occasions, I'm inclined to agree with that assessment. We do get local counsel when we are doing more than just filing a motion to transfer venue in many/most cases. And we always warn our clients about the local bias if they choose not to engage local counsel. I guess I'll do the same if I ever have a case in Collin County.

    Was this it?
  3. Reading a tweet? Seems dangerously close to a book. Tread lightly.
  4. I think the myth busters did an episode about dragons taking off on treadmills, but I didn’t want to drop that knowledge just yet.
  5. Hate to break it to you, but falling into water from that height is like hitting concrete. You can get fucked up if you land poorly from 10M (about 30 feet). He was above storm cloud level (more than 10,000 feet). He dead.
  6. Nope, see below. They are a TexMexi-can restaurant, not TexMexi-can’t.
  7. And it’s where he stole the Mont Blanc pen. So he’s a thieving wanker as well. Not really relevant to your post but I try to drop that fact into most conversations about Paxton.
  8. [lawyer hat] Ahem, under § 160.106 of the Texas Westorosi Family Code, all children born to a wife during a marriage are presumed to be the children of the husband. Further, if a proceeding to adjudicate parentage is not commenced within the first 4 years of the child's life, the presumption may not be challgenged. Therefore, the children are Leanor's under law, and therefore not bastards. [/lawyer hat] Kidding aside, we at least know that the kids are half Targaryen, since there's no question that they are Rhaenyra's kids. So we know that they have the blood of Old Valyria.
  9. Someone needs to do a mashup of “Remember the Cant” graffiti from S1 of the Expanse and this. Not me, but someone.
  10. I just watched it last night because my wife fell asleep early and no ALCS. I was gruntled.

    We’re gonna need a bigger towel.
  12. I mean technically the worst thing that can happen when passing is to get driven to the ground and sprain your shoulder and miss three games. But and INT sucks too.
  13. They were actually talking about Ja’Tavion.
  14. UTNac has a nice ring to it.
  15. Impossible. No one cares about HotD compared to GoT, so why would anyone try to leak it?
  16. Just bumping, since the last day to sign up and have the estate planning benefit available beginning in November is Monday (if you sign up later, it won't be effective until December).
  17. I don't know, but the Kent and the other Blacks were supposed to pay their staff, but instead stole hundreds of thousands of dollars of tips and paid them to managers, so, all in all, it's probably a wash.
  18. Was it the dragon pit? I just assumed it would have been at the Sept, but I don't know if there even was a Sept at this point in the history of the show.
  19. Would have also accepted “Big Theseus”
  20. My guess is that each of the first three seasons is the rings of power for one race getting made. The last two seasons will be the war against Sauron. During one of those he goes to Numenor to trick the humans there to go West instead of East to help the humans, and that leads to their destruction and also helps Sauron not have to fight them.
