  1. And aggy. Pretty sure their average there is in the 1250 range.
  2. You don't think about shingles until you hit middle age and realize just how bad it can fuck you up.
  3. If you all are interested in one-takes, grab a copy of Russian Ark. Here’s the making of
  4. Bluey movie is a year or two off. It’s going to be massive.
  5. So what’s going around in the elementary schools currently, and who knows of a good at-home COVID and/or flu test, because it seems to be COVID, flu, or cold right now.
  6. UT is moving to 5% next year I believe. Still, for in-state students, they accept about 40% of those who apply. That’s not bad for a flagship institution, where about 10,000 new students enroll every year in a state with 31 million people, of which around 2.8 million are 18-24 year olds, and 775,000 are in college of some sort (two year or four or grad). I’m sure the argument will or can be made that students who don’t think they have a chance won’t even bother applying. And if we want to go down the road on the demographics of the state and representation, whites are not even the largest group anymore. UT Austin will look far different 10 years from now, as will aggy and other schools. We are in an unfortunate situation where we need a major boost for the other branches in the UT (and aggy) and we needed it years ago, and we have lagged behind in doing that while the state grew extremely fast, although there are efforts being made. At the same time we have a bit of a war on education, learning in general, science, etc. being conducted by people who can influence those university systems.
  7. And for Ana, the national average SAT score is 1022. A 1460 and a decent high school track record will get your snowflake into a helluva lot of places. Now if that's an 800 English and 660 math, it may mean your kid is not going to get into the engineering school they want (but there's still schools that will accept them). You aren't even addressing who is behind it, or how they are trying to piggyback off of the name of a school their side all claim to hate. I don't know why we are even arguing this though - we are in a state with tens of millions of people, it would only make sense that one of the flagship schools is harder to get into than it was when the population was half that. We don't need to pull an aggy and try and add tens of thousands of students to UT Austin. Ana and others, if they are upset about UT Austin and feel like their snowflakes should be able to get into a good school, should be focused on pressuring the legislature on improving the rest of the UT branches (and aggy) (insert Lobo-esque manifesto here).
  8. Which this "institution" is not. Are you seriously going to argue that engineers from aggy, Tech, etc. are not getting hired?
  9. Fuck, am I going to have to get my syrup from fucking Vermont instead of Canada like Costco wants me to do?
  10. And most of us have worked alongside grads from those other schools without issue for the most part. Once you get a degree and get an actual job and build up an actual resume, what school you went to starts to matter less and less and it's more about what you've done and who you currently know. And not everybody is meant to go through the higher education pipeline.
  11. Going to a school that is trying to piggyback off of the UT-Austin name, and that is funded by a Peter Thiel VC tech bro (who also co-founded Palantir), is not the way to fix it. Go to fucking Texas State, or Texas Tech, or Houston or Aggy or UNT or UTEP because I'm pretty fucking sure that kids who are even half-assed trying can get into those schools.
  12. Trying to keep Apple from supporting and investing in a competing satellite service and he wants the feds to stop it. Nothing to see here. Exclusive | Apple and Musk Clash Over Satellite Expansion Plans - WSJ
  13. Which is why they are ramping up to compete with Oklahoma in Bible learnin' in public schools.
  14. Has your vet every checked you for heartworms?
  15. Wear a pedo bear outfit?
  16. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merck_%26_Co. Buying and using Ivermectin is sticking it to Big Pharma?
  17. My middle-schooler and his friends who play Minecraft for what seems like 15-20 hours a week all claim to hate the movie because of inaccuracies they noticed or it demeans Minecraft players or whatever.
  18. I’ve got a cousin from Wisconsin who is mostly Polish and half his t-shirts and caps make sure you know he’s a Polack. If you search for Polak or Polack on Amazon, he’s probably responsible for half the sales of that stuff. Imagine somebody wearing something this to a large 100+ family reunion in North Texas where half the attendees are Southern Baptists from Oklahoma and Arkansas. And he’s built like and sounds just like Mike Ditka (I have a theory he doesn’t sound like Ditka normally and does that accent for the reunions).
  19. And the color grading and whatever they sued for camera felt weird to me in the first season.
  20. The last thing to go through your mind could be something equally as random - somebody walking out of the building below, a car parked below, some tree on the sidewalk, your own asshole depending on how you hit the pavement, etc.
  21. Whoever decided to have her hair styled the same way as the 1930s cartoon should have been fired. Nobody wants to see a fivehead on the big screen in 2025, unless it's Uma Thurman or Christina Ricci. She's also half-Polish. Casting a half-Polack, even if she resembles the 1930s Snow White, was a very interesting choice. Walt Disney might have approved though, given he cast the original Snow White voice actress, even though she had a fivehead (I doubt she was known for her screen work).
  22. Bangkok Tourism Board: Look at all of our buildings that didn't collapse, they're obviously perfectly fine in case of another earthquake! You want to go bareback? Why not, even if 50% of prostitutes have an STD, that's a 50% chance you'll have amazing sex and not have to visit your doctor or explain to your wife or husband how they caught an STD!
