  1. At this rate Trump's Library will look something like the new Universal theme park. I was thinking that he'd just pocket the money, but MAGA World would probably make him more money. Well, as long as he doesn't run it himself.
  2. For the love of God, whatever you do, don't stop at the Travelodge in Memphis, TX. My wife threatened divorce if we ever did that again. The Red Roof in Childress is also a shithole, but with a good breakfast.
  3. Close to mine Anarchists will sexualize Thomas Jefferson
  4. So fans of FC Dallas, do y'all plan on buying anybody this year or just having a fire sale and replacing them with academy kids?
  5. I get why they're doing it, but I'm going to miss watching MLS in the summer with no competition.
  6. The only guy I know that works ATC was in the National Guard or Army reserve (I forget which) where they trained him as well as attending TSTC then he picked up a spot in some small regional airport before moving on to a bigger airport.
  7. Some people on reddit wondering how Austin got so high on the list. They don't understand the lack of pro competition and the love the city of Austin has for the team relative to many other MLS teams and their cities. Even beyond Austin, one day last year I wore a jersey to a bar in Waco and someone came up to me saying they had season tickets and loved every minute of it even when we were losing. We have 5 of us from Waco going down for the season opener and another separate group of 5 going down for another game a couple weeks later. All ten of us prefer going to Austin FC games over any game in DFW that's just about the same distance as Q2. It's that great of an experience.
  8. And I still haven't heard him speak since right around the week before the election.
  9. Hell the delay of one extra passenger boarding, plus adding luggage, plus a change in weight, and whatnot might have been enough to make it a close miss.
  10. Damn man what are you in? It was pretty hard to have a bad portfolio from January 20, 2021 – January 20, 2025, especially a long-term retirement focused portfolio.
  11. More info on that 2236_001.pdf ^James H. Kettner “The Creation of Citizenship in the British American Colonies and Early United States,” in Jon Gjerde, ed., Major Problems in American Immigration and Ethnic History (Houghton Mifflin, 1998). [reprinted from Kettner, The Development of American Citizenship, 1608-1870 (1978)]
  12. Who the hell gives out an auto loan that's at 200+ LTV?
  13. Nothing expensive or fancy. Doce cuentos peregrinos which are probably my favorite works of his along with El amor en los tiempos del cólera because it was cheap. Also this slander against Gran Colombia will not stand.
  14. At this time I have no comment (Ironically, I just bought two first editions of Gabriel Garcia Marquez books today.)
  15. I would get to know this pyramid really well
  16. Prolific in La Liga for a bad team and prolific in La Liga 2 for a medium team (Both Granada). 22/23: Top goal scorer in La Liga 2 23/24: 11 goals for a relegation level team in La Liga. 15th in the league. This year: 14 goals in 18 games making him 2nd in La Liga 2 in goals. On paper he should be a damn monster if he can get the ball. MLS reporter had some thoughts,
  17. Lord knows I need the education. Everytime I think I get it there is something else I missed.
  18. Off topic but the wife and I went to the LBJ Library last year and man it's really a fantastic museum.
  19. I got my employees some black and white cookies and a chocolate babka and none of them got the reference. I guess I should have gone with the cinnamon for the full effect. Because of this, next time they're only getting Ring Dings and Pepsi.
  20. Did she only get to keep two of them?
