  1. I (and you) would have to eat a full cup of ground crickets to get the protein of a 6 oz sirloin steak. How many dried crickets would it take to make one ground cup? I’m sure hundreds I will not eat zee bugs, Klaus.
  2. What if I suggested a 70 yard practice field and a Morton Steel Building indoor facility? I could also suggest a field that is only about 40 yards wide so it would be proportional to the shorter field. Oh, that’s already been suggested?
  3. We could tear down the Rec Center and build a combined facility on that footprint…with a full size field. Another brilliant idea I had came from a photo I saw of a hotel(?) somewhere that was constructed over a highway. I wonder if a new indoor facility could be built 90 degrees to the bubble and over Red River. That would leave plenty of room for a full size outdoor field. I’m not in Austin these days, so I’m sure there are logistical issues I’m not aware exist. Fire away. I can take it.
  4. Holy shit, this world is full of dumb asses.
  5. This page has turned into tiny guys winning fights.
  6. 30%, but I had problems with the wording more than a few Qs. Asking “is” instead of “should” is just one example. Maybe I think it is, but shouldn’t, or vice versa. There were several Qs that were absolute statements which are easy to overthink. I ended up giving a lot of single thumb answers I retook it and gave the neutral thumb to each Q, and this is what I got. Anybody surprised?
  7. My kids would probably post that on social media.
  8. I just finished replacing all the hardware on one of our toilets, and I found myself fantasizing on the toilet aisle of the hardware store, fantasizing about getting taller toilets so my knees will stop crackling those last two inches when I sit on our standard shitters.
  9. That could be my wrist. I was working for a warehouse grocery in SA owned by Handy Andy in 78 or 79 when I fell off some steel shelving. I broke and displaced one of those bones, but they sent me to the company quack who said it was only a slight sprain. It bothered me for about 25 years until one day I realized it didn’t really bother me anymore. Maybe it was just other things hurting more. I say give it another year or three. Lol I don’t have arthritis in that wrist, but there is a weird soft spot/indentation on my wrist where a bone should be.
  10. My mom always liked her steaks well done. She claimed it was because she ate chicken once that was still pink and bloody around the bone and ever since then she had an aversion to any meats that had any hint of blood. I can’t count the number of steaks she sent back to the grill for a few more minutes. My dad, OTOH, liked his steaks medium rare, but as he got older (around age 75), he liked them done a bit more. The last steak I cooked him was almost medium, and he thought that was the only way steaks should be served. He lived to 90, so I’d guess he would’ve been a medium well guy by 95.
  11. And this is how a hate crime starts.
  12. Had a cab driver in SF about 10 years ago who was very curious about where we were from. Admitted that he always liked to ask people about that because he was thinking about getting out even though he had lived there his entire life. Didn’t like where things were heading. Almost 40 years ago, my wife and I went out with my sister and her friend who was from a prominent SF family, prominent enough that she was given police protection when the SLA kidnapped Patty Hearst. She was not liking where the city was heading, and things weren’t even that bad in the mid-80s. She was just old enough to notice the changes that started in the late 60s. I know you can always find people who say who lament about the way things are going in their city/state/country, but I still wonder if either of them are still there.
  13. He needs to wear those headphones OVER his ears.
  14. Gotta lean into it, kid.
  15. In Bangkok they might not be.
  16. I haven’t heard from my LHF “concierge” rep since Patterson was AD.
  17. UT websites have always sucked, just in different ways. I’ve purchased tickets and made donations on other schools’ websites, and every single one of them worked like a charm. This includes D2 and NAIA schools. I think it’s because they all use templates to create their websites, while UT is in the Silicon Hills, which means they have to create their own (or manipulate it to hell).
  18. They don’t leave witnesses.
