  1. Really good show. Credit to writers and that girl who plays Dr. Santos as I cannot stand her ass. The whole cast is solid and I am curious to see how next handful of episodes play out.
  2. I am on flight home and put on “Unrivaled: Sewanee 1899” about the Sewanee team that went 12-0 and played five games in six days. Good plane watch
  3. Also Pierce’s teams had the base running acumen of tee ball players. So annoying to watch some of the stupidity that would ensue with him coaching at 3B.
  4. Team watch at home. Movie theater experience blows and frankly there are very few movies I have remotely felt like I had to pay a premium to see in theater. Theaters are closing down similar to taxis and Blockbusters. Subpar business model that didn’t have a viable competitor. Now they do.
  5. I use it as my income is almost all W-2 with heavy RSU vesting and then some other investments. Similar to above I will be moving to a pro as I am also having a family trust setup
  6. I love aggy baseball having their version of an even less qualified Rodney Terry at the helm. The falloff from season start to now is so good.
  7. Re Tee ball: 1) don’t take seriously 2) work on basic fielding drills: alligator arms, the triangle where glove is tip of triangle, not running forward on pop flies (hit any OF tennis balls for practice for pop flies) 3) work on basics of where to move as a base runner, how to pick up base coaches etc 4) see point 1 Tee ball is ultimate KISS exercise. Don’t film kids hitting, don’t stress over throwing mechanics etc. just chill out and have fun
  8. Damn. Almost safe. Got a little greedy
  9. They trotted that lefty out one inning to many. Those three deep outs last inning told the future for that dude this inning.
  10. Time to touch this lefty up.
  11. See you suckers there. Have to pick up my son from his baseball practice at 6:30 and then on to the Disch! LFG Horns!!
  12. Parker Posey’s is especially egregious
  13. Keep this POS away from program. He will fuck up all momentum. All he cares about is himself.
  14. The abrasive/bullying intern on “The Pitt” she sucks. (Or maybe she is really good as i cannot stand her)

    Brazil

    Brazil politically (to frame in US parlance) is a bit of a combo of Louisiana and Local DC. Some corruption is expected and will be forgiven. (Lula himself was convicted for corruption and later had sentence annulled) There have been ~2300 cases of political violence (think crimes vs politicians and family members/staffers) since 2020 but the killing of a sitting President is rare. Bolsnaro himself got stabbed I think in 2018 Tl:dr Brazil politics are crazy sometimes but this time is exceptionally crazy.
  16. I am in Detroit for customer meetings and can attest that it is cold as fuck.
  17. True, but that was covered by a bond and they already: delayed start and reduced dollar amount. AHS is trading the city the baseball field for the rowing center which believe it or not AHS owns. Challenge is AHS is in flood plain that leads right into Town Lake. Adds a lot of complexity to any field improvement. In addition lot of old trees behind baseball field so we are having to adjust field to make UIL compliant while mitigating and tree issues.
  18. Have teachers (even in Texas) been part of R voting base? Maybe in rural areas/ smaller towns but those schools have benefited the most from recapture. It’s great going from AHS and playing some of the schools out of district that have turf practice fields, immaculate stadiums, baseball fields with lights (and restrooms - AHS boys pee in culvert) all funded from recapture. (Or at least mostly). I cannot wait for the inevitable bond/property tax grab (of which vast majority goes to recapture as well) to help solve this budget issue. It is a never ending circle jerk as Abbott hates Austin. Austin should’ve let him cut that fucking tree down before he was governor.
  19. Sucker. I already have a kid in AISD and all of that funding already gets recaptured so there!!! Not sure how much shittier AISD can get but I am sure Abbott will figure it out. Luckily I only have a couple more years in it.
  20. You considering Shaka Smart a “white hispanic” or using one of the old Spanish art pieces describing racial composition?
  21. Just used them as an example of a federal set of activities that would be “repurposed” as private run concern that wouldn’t necessarily be taking existing private sector jobs.
  22. I agree. Layoffs suck. Workday eg announced layoffs of 8.5% of their employees, around 1800 people. Same principles apply: the coffe shop employees, the dry cleaners etc etc that have supported these folks are in jeopardy. The assertion though that federal employees will be able to jump in whole cloth and take existing private sector jobs is one I am pushing back on. Some might, i just don’t see it at scale.
