I like that they think $50k is some insurmountable amount of money that they can't overcome.

That movie hasn't aged well from a cultural sensitivity perspective.

his 2004-era faux hawk would make him extra aerodynamic.

cause that makes sense....

If you assume the top 32 players are ranked as 5-stars, On3 also has Ellis Davis a 30 overall, which would give Tech two five-star players (as ranked by On3). However, they have him ranked WAAAAAAY higher than everyone else. 247 has him at 245 and ESPN and Rivals don't rank him nationally.

I remember the draft talking heads mentioning that Zach Evans was a 5-star back coming out of high school when the Rams took him in the 6th round this year. They also talked about his "inconsistency" and insinuated he had a shit attitude. Basically they only mention it when a 5-star guy gets drafted toward the end of the draft so they can insinuate there might be some additional value taking a guy that had high athletic upside coming out of high school.

Would definitely double up on Delanie and mom.

Like this? "Guys, we've basically had the same record the last two seasons. It's a wash. We're both headed in the same direction."

On the one hand, yeah sure. But on the other hand, Fuck the Brocks.

Adding a 5-star offensive tackle would be nice. It has worked out well with the last one we got.

The Amarillo burger at Casino El Camino has diced serranoes and either the hotness of the peppers, or the amount the cooks put on the burger, varies wildly. Sometimes it's perfect. Sometimes it's borderline inedible. But fuck that's a good burger when they hit the heat sweet spot.

The spin will be that 10 of our former players were talented enough to make an NFL roster but didn't develop at Texas enough to get drafted.

His dad played football there.

Could have been before the reinstated the camping ban. It was WAAAAAAY worse back then. But the ban's been back in place for at least a year, so I'm not sure that a lack of outdoor seating due to meddling homeless can be blamed for the restaurant shuttering.

Gotcha. And nothing. But if I'm eating bakery shit for dinner, I'm eating kolaches and pie.

Cool. Another expensive Tex-Mex brunch spot for moms that want to get day drunk. My wife will be thrilled at least. Perhaps I'm misreading, but Quack's (which is great) isn't an alternative to HPB&G. It's a bakery. Not a restaurant. Why would anyone who wants dinner to go Quack's. While the homeless situation over there is sketchy, I'm guessing they stopped servicing the patio because it's a-hundred-and-fuck degrees outside every day. There are usually a handful of homeless people camped out under the 71 underpass (until the city makes them pack up their shit once a week), but you don't see them wandering around the strip center. I like that HPB&G. I ate there a few weeks ago before going to a movie in the same center. I didn't go often, but when I did go I generally enjoyed the food. But it was always pretty empty.

You could make a fermented table sauce. You dilute the heat of the peppers with other ingredients, allowing to flavors of the peppers to still shine through, but not blow your asshole open. I made a hot sauce with like 10 habaneros, two large sweet Mediterranean peppers, a half a pineapple, some ginger and some garlic and it turned out fantastic. It's a great way to bring out the flavors of a pepper that's practically too hot. I did make a version with two ghost peppers and a bunch of red jalapenos but, to be honest, it came out a little too hot for me (and everyone else I've given some to). I still use it, but sparingly. Instead you could make a version with a handful of ghost peppers, some milder red peppers, oranges or pineapple, and whatever other shit you want to throw in there. Making table sauce is about the only thing I've been able to do with peppers that are spicier than serranos.

Of course the team with a staff that includes a guy that killed a kid, an adulterer, and a racist asshole wins out on “church”. Unreal.

I've never sat for more than 5 hours. 7.5 is ridiculous. That being said, 16 hours for a 1/4 leg sleeve seems like a lot of time. But that's tough to evaluate based on the level of detail you might be getting. Regardless, god speed. If you can do 7.5 hours you can do almost anything.

No. But I also recognize I'm holding rock music to a potentially too-high standard by evaluating rock success on number 1 singles or albums. But still, the bands you cite bring up a good point. Both of those bands are more than 22 years old at this point. I'm asking, is there a band that's playing rock music, that was formed in the last 10 years and that isn't comprised of dudes in their late 30s and 40s that has hit it big? I certainly can't think of one. I can think of pop singers, rap artists, country singers, etc. I feel like we're in a spot similar to what happened right before grunge/alternative broke. Except that I don't feel like there are independent rock artists that are creating their own music who are on the verge of breaking through. Honestly, Olivia Rodrigo was the closest thing that I can think of to a Nirvana-esque breakthrough. Because her lyrics are refreshingly earnest and reflective of what a "younger" generation is feeling. I just don't think there will ever be another rock and roll band to capture, synthesize, and reflect the emotional complexity of what it feels like to "grow up". Rock music is dead. Except for niche groups who still want to make awesome music. Like @jimmyjazz's daughter's band. Who are, definitively, absolutely, punk as fuck. Well fucking done, dad.

I've always hated this conversation. But I get it. The problem with the argument is that punk rock has too many self-appointed gatekeepers arguing who and what is and is not "punk." That's why Jawbreaker's Boxcar resonates with so many people: "You're not punk and I'm telling everyone." Save your breath, I never was one You don't know what I'm all about Like killing cops and reading Kerouac My enemies are all too familiar They're the ones who used to call me friend I'm coloring outside your guidelines I was passing out when you were passing out your rules One, two, three, four Who's punk? What's the score? Regardless, for the premise of this discussion, I'd argue that you're being too specific in asking if punk's dead. To me, a more important discussion is "is rock music dead?" And the data says it's totally fucking dead. I can't name a single new rock and roll band formed in the last 10 years to hit it big. The last rock band to hit number one on the billboard hot 100 was fucking Creed in 2001 - twenty two years ago. The last rock band to have the number 1 album in the country was AC/DC in 2020. A rock album by dudes in their 70s. So yeah. It's not that punk is dead. It's that the entire rock genre is dead.

Philly cheesesteaks. I used the pan as a plate. That’s old grand dad 114 in the old man glass.

Cool baby!
