  1. Hmmm... first, my Italian blood wants to tell you it's Bolzano but I'm trying to think. Maybe you could go drive up the Otztal Valley and drive over Timmelsjoch into Italy. In Hochgurgl and the way up the mountain pass there is a cool motorcycle museum. You can then make your way to Vipiteno. @Ghost of LL
  2. Publicly call him out on it. It will force Trump to respond because you know he can't keep it to himself. Call him out very publicly. Make him say something stupid that will piss off the protesters, too. We all know the playbook.
  3. Ramsey is a bummer. It was my "Office pool" https://www.austintexas.gov/pools-splashpads
  4. Nothing extreme here... just pretty scenery in Alta Badia in the Dolomiti of Italy. I learned to ski in the next valley over. Beautiful area. Great thing is that Italians love bombing groomed runs (which is why Italy is known as possibly the best in the world at snowmaking and grooming... this guy explains it) so when you go off piste, you have the world at your disposal... at your own risk. Tangent... anyone into freeriding should look into Monterosa. A friend in the area occasionally posts pictures of skiing there. The map looks deceptive as this shows marked runs but it is famous for freeriding and absolutely with a guide. You can get 6000 foot verticals in a very snowsure area with traditional Italian villages. The area sits under massive peaks with Monte Rosa towering above at 15,200 feet.
  5. What I love about Isbell is he will just tell MAGA people that he doesn't need them as fans and they can just peace out
  6. Listen, I normally don't want to amplify Alex Jones but this is a great opportunity for MAGA. They should absolutely take advantage of this.
  7. On a related note... https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=62864
  8. To be fair, the companies that service the majors... companies like Schlumberger, Halliburton, NOV, Baker Hughes are all expanding their efforts on hydrogen and other renewables like wind, solar, etc. Same goes for Saudi Arabian companies... https://www.reuters.com/business/sustainable-business/saudis-alfanar-build-35-bln-green-hydrogen-project-egypt-2022-08-29/
  9. To be fair, Ron Johnson was married in 1977 which was the 40th anniversary of the The Great Purge in Soviet Russia. Coincidence???
  10. He's almost pushing her to do that
  11. Seriously, I love that this guy is the Texas aggy AD. It is so fitting. He hated UT when he was at Nebraska and always whined about us when he was with ESPN. He and Mark May were an absolute beating.
  12. Right? And why is Houston so high since they have so much water (but maybe because it is all polluted)
  13. bUt thEy deFunDIng ThuH PoLIcE!!?! Sorry... had to point it out because idiots keep repeating this completely inaccurate line AUSTIN, Texas — Wednesday afternoon, Austin City Council heard public comments about the proposed $5.9 billion city budget. Earlier, members looked closer at what is in the budget – including the Austin police budget proposal, set at $496 million, an increase of about $18 million. This comes as the city narrows its search for a new permanent police chief.
  14. ITs hot as balls... more skiing vibes before the season starts...
  15. Everyone who goes to Ravenna says nothing but great things...
  16. Donald shopping for real estate in Caracas... https://www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/C-l_pH_gQof?xmt=AQGzzux-hAlUPBzD6DpzV0DYOAEcYXziM59OLayYK5SGfA
  17. Quoting because it's perfect
  18. Not sure but 95% of those using the voucher system were not using the public school system before. Shocking... https://arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2023/10/11/arkansas-learns-report-95-of-voucher-students-did-not-attend-public-school-last-year
  19. Everyone talks about the top restaurants in Italy... Michelin stars... yadda yadda. Visit countryside trattorie and osterie... the places were local workers go enjoy the daily menu. That's the food you want to enjoy in Emilia Romagna. Some will argue with me... that's 99.9% what we do in Italy. A few randoms... Within shouting distance of Imola... https://en.aziendalacasetta.it/ristorante https://relaismevigo.it/en/restaurant/ Also, go to Dozza to visit the regional enoteca and walk around the town Bar in Imola - https://www.instagram.com/bar_ai_giardini_imola/ If you're passing Santa Croce Near Santa Croce - https://trattoriasantacroce.it/ Outside Bologna... https://www.tasteatlas.com/osteriadalnonno
  20. Cool footage of Mt Hood. Trying to figure out if there's any way I can pull off a business trip/ski day there. Clearly not the same itinerary as this but something like Meadows or Snow Bowl...
  21. I used to see the occaional girl walking around the UT campus wearing a Chicana short or something about being a Chicana. That's the first time I really heard of the term, from what I remember. Also did a quick Google search and found this... https://www.preservationaustin.org/news/the-austin-chicano-huelga-making-east-austin-historic (way before my time)
  22. I'm sure they've tried calling me. I'm sure I haven't picked up that "Telemarketing" or "Spam suspected" call either. What an odd flex but not surprising
  23. Yeah, Front 242 going to be stuck in my head all day
