  1. Did it happen in your actual neighborhood and on a cul-de-sac? We may have lived in the same hood. Happened maybe 6-7 years ago? Post-Harvey.
  2. His Wikipedia specifically highlights the game where he came in and took a knee twice. Twice, bro!
  3. Imagine comparing that JAG's college career to Quinn
  4. Seriously. Georgetown is in Dallas, right?
  5. Last day to take advantage of this... bought BALTHVS. Sun Room would be tempting. Eggy is pretty good live. I also like Sir Chloe's sound.
  6. That dude is a legend!!!
  7. The future is bright, gentlemen! Like a phoenix from the ashes, the US garment industry will rise again!
  8. Even if manufacturing comes back, how much is automated? Good time to invest in manufacturing robots. So when Apple says they will move manufacturing to the US, how many jobs will they provide? https://www.computerworld.com/article/4049837/apples-going-to-automate-all-the-iphone-factories.html I'm sure all will go well with automation and AI, though. https://www.axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-jobs-white-collar-unemployment-anthropic
  9. Well, or look at a company like Tenaris that makes tubular products in plants in Texas or Arkansas... shipments are down to projects in Brazil so what's to stop them from shifting production to Veracruz from Texas?
  10. OK... so on Shingrex... should anyone over 50 get it or just someone who had Chickenpox? I keep reading both sides and I'm still not clear.
  11. Call with a client this morning. Tariff conversation came up. He described manufacturing operations in a Texas plant most likely moving to the ME because the tariffs are killing them. Winning?
  12. Maybe they could focus on the red light runners
  13. Bought tickets for the show at Scoot Inn
  14. Pins Mechanical going to be busy today. Snagged a few spots at 9:30 AM. My wife thought I was crazy for getting here this early but by 10:00 my reasoning was confirmed. At least we got some duckpin bowling in before it filled up. Hook'em Gentlemen!
  15. Quick .25" today
  16. More likely later in the day
  17. 11 AM kickoff - it'll be fine. Also, @Brisketexan never paid attention if Sam's Town Point has a TV or is even open at that time. Maybe Lil Darlin?
  18. Speaking of Austin and good times, what are some of your options for game-watching this weekend? Far Out Lounge is only doing something indoors and not outside (based on what they've said) Sholz's, of course. We're probably looking at Pins Mechanical. Of course you have obvious options like Dirty's, Crown & Anchor, Posse, etc.
  19. Nice job APD. Shoot the guy who actually saved your ass.
  20. Or maybe things aren't as bad as y'all want to make it out to be. Same stats I showed further up make it clear that "the good ole days" of Austin in the 80s were actually really terrible. Murder rates drastically higher but, hey, Austin was great back then, right? Homicide rates when I was at UT averaged higher than today... and I had my car stolen. My car has not been stolen lately so my anecdotal data with a data point of me says its better. Want to see disingenous? Here's a 2021 APD document showing that Austin crime is on the rise. Let me recommend you look at page 3. Hmmm... that's interesting... why does APD only show the red line starting in 2000 and not going further back (despite showing the bar chart)? Oh... wait... the table will give us the details. Ah, no, they conveniently forgot to Ctrl+V on the last two columns from 1981 to 1999. That's odd. I'm sure they overlooked the data by accident.

Yes, there was a downward trend (as was the case in the rest of the country) but they don't want you to see per capita numbers when they say "mOSt MUrdErS!?!?! EVEEERRrrEErRRRRRR!!!!"
  21. Definitely trending better now when you factor in per capita vs raw numbers. 2023 was impacted but one nut killing four people at the end of the year and then this past August had naked Jesus going on a rampage. Per capita numbers right now seem to be comparable to 1995-1997. If we can avoid another mentally ill person going on a shooting spree, maybe we can keep trending down. They also fail to show per capita statistics which is disingenuous.
