  1. Am I taking crazy pills or was that 1st down play spotted two yards short of his progress. he got fucked as did the rams
  2. My paralegal just told a pretty convincing story at lunch about how he is responsible for killing the two girls in Utah on 8/13. I know the police originally said this was totally unrelated. She believes Laundrie thought the girl called the cops on him at the diner. Then stalked and killed them that night while he was separated from Gabby. And then killed Gabby when it appeared she wasn't going to be able to keep it all together. Anyone else tracking this story closely with insight into this theory?
  3. Two years ago I sat behind him having never heard him on TV. I was about row 20 and could tell it was coming from below me, but wasn't sure exactly where. It boggled my mind that those sitting immediately in front of him don't tell him to STFU. It was loud, annoying, and worthy of scorn from 10 rows above him. WTF
  4. Thank you bolverk. the other surly assholes were just that - surly assholes.
  5. what a fucking disgusting piece of shit.
  6. We started in late August and added water last Thursday. Plaster and gunnite only two lines my builder doesn’t control. Both bumped us a week or more. All told - we are quite happy. Still need some decorative work but the pool works.
  7. not sure how i wasn't paying previously. Swear I clicked the paypal link last time the hat was passed. Apparently not.
  8. Are you making the window opening larger? Based on your post, it sounds like you are. Are you going up? Out? I think you need a good knowledgeable contractor and not just a window installer. But, I sue bad contractors all the time and I am jaded as most of my clients come to me due to water intrusion. Most of those are from shitty window installation. That alternative - have the show you order from install them. Some will, some won't. Thad Ziegler will (or they used to). Mark Gault - http://www.mgault.com/ is a contractor that I see as an expert on a ton of the construction defect claims iin the Austin area. He knows what he is doing. Might be worth calling him to see if would be willing to help or refer you to someone who might.
  9. shops to make the window? or shops to do the install? Flashing the window is paramount and nearly everyone that installs them fucks that part up.
  10. Louisville just admitted they were at fault. Not really - but really. $12M is a lot of money. https://news.yahoo.com/multi-million-settlement-reached-breonna-135132622.html
  11. I litigate against shitty home builders. Some of the most expensive builders in the area you are looking at are some of the worst. While the builder you choose is important, its probably not for the reason you think. Most use the same subs. Subs chosen are very important. Quality inspections are VERY important. Choosing a builder that will fix mistakes - priceless. If you PM me, I am happy to advise you on those I have dealt with on numerous occasions.
  12. Question - in america in 2017, there were about 7700 deaths per day (on average) per the CDC. Has anyone seen statistics as to the total deaths in america per day right now? I have read all of you geniuses discussing COVID as a cause of death with varying degrees of certainty regarding co-morbidities and attribution to COVID. I don't think I have seen anyone evaluate how the total death count from COVID plays into/corresponds to the expected death count without COVID. Are we talking 1% more people dying than normal? 10%? more? less?
  13. This is 100% where I am as a Texas fan. Couldn’t have said it better for me if I tried. Such a sad place to be
  14. BL's suggestion looks perfect given it has this in the freaking page. Let me see if I can figure it out as I am far from a power user. Thanks to all who have responded.
  15. We are readying to move our files to the cloud and are concerned about an issue that I am hoping the braintrust can help us with. All of our equipment is Mac - including our in office server. Mac allows naming conventions that windows will not. one of our paralegal has saved files with back slashes for YEARS, along with other special characters. Is there an app/program/whatthefuckever that will locate replace these special characters like find-replace in word? Moving 4-5 TB of data to the cloud is going to be a beating if it keeps stalling when bad file names are thrown at it.
  16. I appreciate the responses. I agree with the versioning and those issues are of concern. our IT guys have said sharepoint (sister service) offers more robust features to address those concerns. dcbd - I am contemplating all of our files residing in a onedrive parent folder on our mac mini/server. I already have access to any files that are on the mac mini through the local network. So - instead of looking in /macmini/f-drive/Cases/2019/ (or whatever the actual file path is) - it would be macmini/onedrive/cases/2019 I don't see why that wouldn't work.
  17. San Antonio. I am happy to chat with anyone.
  18. Surlians I have been at my current firm for a little more than 2 years and in that time our docket has grown by nearly 30%. We are an all apple environment with each of 7 workstations being an iMac or MBP. We utilize Microsoft Office Suite - desktop versions, though we have a O365 subscription. Our data is saved on external hard drives connected to brand new mac mini via thunderbolt which acts as our server. Our IT guys (third party consultant types) upgraded our server when we moved offices several months ago and we REALLY REALLY struggled with the new server maintaining uptime/connectivity. After hundred+ hours of research, it appears that it is a limitation of the newest version of the server app for the macmini. Our data is not really accessible remotely, though I can VPN with my MBP. I am limited by copper data lines for our building and, if everyone is on and working, VPN is not super reliable and is quite slow when we have large files to move from the server to my MBP when offsite. We are FINALLY going to an office/practice management solution - Clio. I am stoked about its functionality. It has integration with onedrive, outlook, etc. I am loathe to suggest we change what people know as they are already going to hate me for making them (or at least the dinosaurs of our office) change what they do and how they do it. What I would like to know, but have been unable to get much of a straight answer from our IT guys about, pertains to onedrive and "sync". If I successfully migrate all of our data to the cloud/onedrive - can I have it "sync" to the server storage (attached hard drives) and have the data available on a local network that mirrors the cloud? Making changes via the cloud - O365 web applications - will be reflected in the attached local drive? Making changes via desktop applications and documents saved on the local network in the onedrive "sync" folder will be reflected in the cloud? As a whole, our case files are approximately 5 TB of data. We can't sync those to our individual machines. So, thats why I am wondering about the ability to have them "sync" to the server where they already reside with plenty of space.
  19. I live in Boerne. Wal-Mart has it. like $3 a gallon. When compared to tru-fuel, its a steal.
