Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
AUS-97HORN replied to Nice Guy Eddie's topic in Daily Texan
honestly depends on WHERE you live. if you are in Cali for instance, earning 120k while living in Humboldt County and WFH is radically different than living near any slightly larger city and going into the office. and another factor would be am i forced to work remotely from my assigned designated home? or am I allowed to work remotely while visiting national parks, other states etc. even more bonus points if I am allowed to work remotely from another country with a much lower cost of living ( highly highly unlikely I know.. but if allowed, that would be a deal) -
Doc: ahhh yes... I shudda only given him a $1k worth of ketamine script rather than the $55k - that was a floating math error, my bad

This is something I've seen more and more folks advocating to move back to physical media, specifically DVDs, or whatever a new DVD generation woudl look like. Another problem is that there are a lot of movies that are out there that are completely unavailable to watch because either the streaming rights have expired (and not been renewed with another company) or controvsial... there are a crapload of Disney movies that fall under this category, pretty much anything controversial, like Song of the South, The Crying game (6 Oscars) , Dogma, Revenge of the Nerds, and others) Or the studio (or studios in the case of acqusitions) that have decided they dont want the movie to stream, and there a quite a few decent movies and major award winning that arent available on any streaming service, and basically the only way to watch them anymore is if you have the physical media.. just a list i know Silent Movie (Brooks) ,Cocoon, Crash (not great but won the damn best picture Oscar that year- barf) , P.C.H., and The Basketball Diaries I understand some of them have an issue in todays morality, but for most of us- the over 40 crowd- we can differentiate between real racisicm/ sexism/etc PCH is just bad rauchy college fun... I understand the 2020's problems with Revenge of the Nerds, Crying Game and Song of the South... but dammit let adults have the chance to watch good movies and put up a fucking "we dont condone this" disclaimer.

hes either a wizard or an ass-kicking asshole.... and the neighborhood knows not to fuck with him either way

I am beginning to believe Brad Nessler is a fucking moron. "this is going to probably be the last play of the half" dude, army has 2 fucking timeouts and is clearly going for a kick.... and that was the textbook definition of DPI... you cant run into a guy full blast while hes trying to fucking catch the ball. and I cant see shit on this replay... theres nothing definitve either way

i know she is saying this to be controversial and get immediate clicks, its what she does, and was probably a huge reason why ESPN parted ways with her. but historically, shes got a point... I mean fuck all we have to do is look at Major 18 years ago banging the equipement girl while his wife was 8-ish months preggo. yes- he self reported it, so thats a tiny tiny bit in his favor, but all he got was a loss of his next guaranteed contract increase (which admittedly was something like a half mil).. but he wasnt let go. the only immediate counter I can give her is Bobby Petrino getting let go, but thats because his fuckup was so public Piggy had no choice.... but 10 years later he was right back in the role.

Red Star has been almost completely devestated by the reduction of live players we used to have as many as 5 live tables going on Monday, Thursday and Saturday nights, now its about 10-14 regular players with 3-5 occasional players and then 2-5 "new-ish" or once-a-month players.. meaning at best we have 3 tables a night. more often 2 or sometimes just 1 there are a LOT of players that I know played for years that have stopped playing (and not going to another poker room... just flat out not playing anymore). I am one of the guys who has been advocating we stop playing bomb pots. I stopped playing the PLO bomb pots more than a year ago, and I just watch over and over as newer players to PLO keep getting stacked, and eventually they stop coming- because they made be ok at holdem, they keep getting stacked when playing short stacked PLO. I am firmly convinced the once a round double board PLO bomb pots is whats killing the game. we are playing 1/2 or 1/3 with a max start stack of $500 or $1k, and usually if a pot size bet is made on the flops, by the turn, anyone still playing playing and wanting to continue is committing anywhere from 15- 75% of their stack (lots of players start with $2-300) to see the river, and then having to risk their whole stack on the river bets. the actual dealing of the hand and then the after-hand counting and board chops and chip chops esp if its 3 or more at showdown is resulting om most bomb pots averaging 5+mins to be finished... in what is supposed to be a hold em game. and usually in an hour there are 2 bomb pots. meaning somewhere between 15-20% of our paid for hours are watching 4 or less players go to the river and then watch as someone has to tank call with their hand. compare that to holdem where even with everyone calling a 3 bet pre and going to the flop in holdem the hand usually ends on the flop or turn, takes a minute, maybe 2 and the next hand is being dealt. Ive starting convincing several of the regulars by pointing out we play 10+ mins an hour on bomb pots, where that same time could have another 5-ish hands dealt instead. and in the last month we have occisionally been able to have a HE only table without the bomb pots... until they combine tables and we have to have bomb pots cause a chunk of the regs insist on them.
