  1. I had a friend in school from Pittsburgh. Played football in HS in Pittsburg, big UT fan. In 2006, the Longhorns won the National Championship, the Steelers won the superbowl, and in that same season, the high school team he had played for won the state championship.
  2. Yes, I know how old this post I'm replying to is. Back in Austin when I was in school, before Uber, before cell phones, shit before the internet, the number to get a cab was 452-9999, which was easy to remember, even shit faced and tripping at 4 am, because of that goddamn Mr. Gattis jingle.
  3. Absolutely. Quit smoking, get fat. It is known. Or go to France. Everybody smokes. Nobody is fat.
  4. Schools churning out economists and their ilk. Lets get on it people!
  5. Reminds me of the thread some years back somebody started asking about how safe it was to drive through El Paso on I-10. Except the OP of that thread was not being ironic.
  6. Lol, the article puts quotes around "tragic". Four people died when a hot air balloon crashed in Eloy, Arizona, on Sunday morning, police said. A fifth person was in critical condition after the “tragic” crash, Eloy police said.
  7. goddamn, the last few pages are so brutal, I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the gu.... wait, no I'm not. MOAR!!!
  8. He's talking about that one test he took four years ago. The "man, person, woman, TV, camera" test.
  9. Yeah, it seems with every covid shot, the side effects are less severe. But @Jive Turkey is correct, the shingrix vax is no joke. That shit sucked. Also, my arm after the shingrix vax was really sore.
  10. BUT WHAT ABOUT GENE RODDENBERRY"S ASHES!!! DID THEY MAKE IT TOO DEEP ORBIT!!?!??
  11. Debank me? No, debank you! No way in hell am I clicking on that.
  12. We now have enough data to definitively say that Tesla blew it on the Cybertruck range (not least this post which is consistent with previous data). There is no way - with all of the very public testing done by Tesla - that the engineering team did not know (long ago) that the real-world range would suck. They knew. And Tesla has an incredible engineering and manufacturing team so they could have fixed this. No question. So it seems to me that we can conclude: 1) Range sucks 2) Team knew long before release that range sucks 3) It is a big deal for customers 4) They could have fixed it but didn't With these facts on the table (I think they are facts at this point) one has to ask why did Tesla get this so wrong? We have seen this before. It is a symptom of an organization where everyone is afraid to tell the emperor that he is not wearing clothes. It is a symptom of a company where bad news is hidden and bad data is reformulated until it fits a pre-ordained internal narrative. If that diagnosis is correct, Tesla is in serious trouble. For all of its accomplishments and incredibly talented staff, it will collapse in on itself unless this gets fixed. I hope it is a wake-up call to the board and the leadership. Warning light flashing IMO. tldr: Tesla knowingly lied about the range of the cybertruck to protect elmo's feels.
  13. wait, what? Why do I always skip class on the fun days?
  14. Isn't DOtarD right handed? I'm right handed and I've only gotten blisters on my left hand and only when I don't wear a glove on my left hand. Never got blisters on my right hand. At least not from golf. Anyway, YMMV, because I pretty much suck at golf. But at least I don't drive on the greens or T boxes or cheat on my score card. I'm also not a rapist or russian asset, at least as far as you know.
  15. I was going to say that the DOJ should issue arrest warrants, then a couple of US Marshals backed up by the National Guard, arrest anybody (DPS, state troops, etc) who prevent the BP from accessing the Border. Which is what would happen to any landowner (minus the National Guard) who prevent BP from accessing their property. Also an arrest warrant for Abbot, which a Marshal with National Guard tanks as backup can enforce. But then I read the below... So instead, Biden should just declare if Texas wants to enforce the Texas/Mexico border, the feds will pull all federal resources from that border and let Texas have at it. If either of the above lead to succession, lets get it on. Its time to get this shit sorted. Either way, call their fucking bluff. Lets see if Abbot and his ilk have the stomach for an actual response to insurrection by state officials and law enforcement.
  16. That second shingles shot really sucked. That shingles shot is no joke. Sorest shoulder and worst general feeling like shit I ever had after a vax.
  17. I don't laugh at three year letterman, I laugh at the responses to three year letterman.
  18. how about 10 fake identities, a Sig Pro with an extra clip, and 10 grand in multiple currencies?
