  1. Yeah, I am somewhat embarrassed by the comments by UT fans here. I attended UT but it's not as if I am in any way responsible for what UT is, especially UT athletics. At least on the academics' side, I can say that I got some research dollars to Aero/Pickle Research and published a few papers, but there is no reason to look down on other athletic departments. It doesn't look like rivalry trash talk that we do with OU/aggy but just mean talk. I mean, Illinois-UC, for example, is UT comparable in academics, but can't be faulted for not happening to be in a football-rich environment. I so wish that Cal and Stanford go the Ivy League route. I live in the Bay Area and their focus is so off of football that they are doing a disservice to themselves by trying to stay in a football-heavy setup. They should endow all the non-revenue sports (Stanford already did, Cal has rich enough alumni to do it), put all of them except football in some kind of an amalgamation of existing conferences, and play football at the Ivy League level, and beat up on CalTech and occasionally be the Rice to USC.
  2. What? 20% in 50 years is aggressive? California is already at 18% now and will most likely reach near 100% by 2035 (12 years from now). https://electrek.co/2022/10/27/electric-cars-reach-new-car-sales-california-compare-us/ Grid hasn't seen any extra burden because solar has kept up and the cars drive when the sun doesn't shine because they have batteries. I have solar and a pure electric + PIH car and haven't burdened PG&E in any way. Edit: Norway is at 79% electric cars and will reach 100% in 2025 (less than 3 years from now) Norway – the EV capital of the world (visitnorway.com)
  3. To augment what Dahobbs wrote, here is data from energy.gov Lot of solar popping up all over US over this year. Lot of coal being retired. Share of renewables is rising. Solar was nearly half of new electric generation capacity last year. More cars are going electric. Battery storage capacity is going to increase a lot. and so on and so forth.
  4. UT (along with 4 other universities) released a detailed study regarding the potential for geothermal energy in Texas and leveraging O&G expertise for tapping it. Pretty rosy outlook. https://energy.utexas.edu/research/geothermal-texas
  5. Why? The runner has full possession of the ball before he approaches the goal line. The WR (just like any other player) has to have full possession before we start counting yards and ball location.
  6. Edit: Didn't read your post before replying. Everyone had HMT and I remember by dad had a Citizen watch. Their website looks like it is stuck in 1990s too. Official Web Site of HMT Watches by HMT Limited | Buy online
  7. Thanks Satya. I know absolutely nothing about watches except that there is a pricy watch called Rolex. The only time I have worn a watch (besides Apple watch now) was during my undergrad days in India (good old HMT). This question was for gifting a watch to a relative.
  8. that looked like an openhanded slap rather than a stiff arm.
  9. what kind of silliness is that? They had a good mixture of runs and short passes going.
  10. Same as our miss on Alabama QB. I don't understand why the DBs don't break down against shifty QBs.
  11. It is not dumb. Harbough was going to take TO on second down but them almost getting the first down made it moot.
  12. Whenever I see them, I am reminded of
  13. The commentators are leaning Michigan pretty heavily.
  14. Looks like another case of B1G/ND getting exposed in playoffs.
  15. Yeah, I prefer UT-like universities too when UT is not involved, but Urbana-Champaign and Madison are good too.
  16. TCU is playing nearly textbook-perfect football. Michigan is somewhat lost without their running game working.
  17. Once two of my friends and I were texting and choosing a common hotel in LAX. We all selected a single hotel and same type of a room but couple of us were a few seconds faster than the third one because the third one's price was about 15% higher. For the software, two purchases within seconds showed a sharp demand and raised the price for the third one.
  18. This Ryan's second loss after leading by 30 points? Kirk is no Brady.
  19. The bag comes with a one year vesting period? Or maybe long term gains on bag options? I don’t know; I am not an accountant.
  20. Solar and wind are cheap (cheapest?), easily deployable and can be scaled from a power plant to powering a calculator. The only thing needed is storage, which is incrementally improving. If some of the many battery alternatives for large energy storage become mainstream, all other energy options become mostly strategic and for ancillary reasons rather than economic ones.
  21. What are your thoughts on Movado? I like the minimalist design and was wondering if there is anything better in this price range ($500-700)?
  22. More likely they are from UW....Bothell.
  23. when it is completely blind like that, why don't the DBs try to grab the ball? The QB doesn't even know the DB is there.
