  1. Stalin was 5’5”, how short was the guy they edited out? Stalin looks to have a foot on him. Or maybe Stalin wore lifts like DeSantis or Trump.
  2. This is a serious thread where we need serious people. If you’re going to name drop a character with 3 lines from a middling movie that was released 25 years ago, it’s gawd damn critical to be accurate.
  3. Your story is suspect. The waiter with all of the flair was named Brian.
  4. Kroger is great because no one is usually there. In and out fast.
  5. The former student association is reopening nominations in hope of finding some diversity. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/tamu-distinguished-alumni-award-19615609.php
  6. More people need to stop using Twitter. Musk can’t suspend you if you don’t use his products.
  7. Trumps business partner threatening to punch him as far as the early 80s. In the link below, A sports writer reads a letter from the USFL Tampa franchise owner telling off Trump, the NY/NJ owner. No surprise that Trump uses the same playbook back then that he does now. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTN4Xxqyj/
  8. Ha. When the team loses and misses the playoffs, would be the worst time. Seriously I think the best times are just as the season starts or going into the playoffs. I would look to sell in the For Sale board here. Or if there is a Cowboys thread in Football. The best person to find is someone that wants to buy it for their personal err business use. Nothing like your business paying for the tickets.
  9. so much for early retirement. 😀
  10. Did Kenney not get the message to evict Lisa or could he not stop himself from saying Angela? I had to laugh at Quinn admitting that he had no idea why he was evicting Lisa while voting to evict her.
  11. Whitmire looks to be the type of leader who makes impulsive decisions and then worries, or not, about the fallout.
  12. I don’t watch the live feeds. What was the logic to keep her around? outside of having to deal with her crap 24/7, Angela isn’t much of a threat to anyone. She wouldn’t be the first to hang around because everyone starts focusing on real threats.
  13. I'm interested in Venu but I generally avoid being a Day 1 customer of streaming services as I find they're often buggy especially with popular content. I've had problems with the ESPN app buffering live content and falling further behind the real time action. I also didn't see any mention about Venu having any DVR tech. I don't normally schedule and save live sports content but I may want to fast forward a game or pause/rewind at times.
  14. Election night instructions: "They are questions about the validity of <insert state name> being called.*" * Only if Harris is leading
  15. Former Texan PSL holder here. One good sales method is to be friendly with the other PSL owners around you. They or friends of theirs might be willing to expand their ownership to adjacent seats. You might actually get a premium as they know it's a rare opportunity to buy seats that close to them. I can't speak for other teams or even the Texans anymore, but the Texans used to manage their own marketplace and would publish all PSL sales via their marketplace. That was helpful for me to understand the market when I sold.
  16. Trump and Project 2025 already have the wheels in motion to fight any loss. Their core strategy is to declare victory as quickly as possible. I also imagine that they are in negotiations with Fox News to ensure that Fox News is aligned with this strategy as well. They're not going to allow Fox to repeat the 2020 AZ call.
  17. From the video, I couldn't tell if she is or isn't transgender. I don't have that radar like many on the right. And big surprise, many athletes have naturally (and some unnatural) high testosterone which makes them better athletes. This can give them higher muscle mass and some women can look less traditionally feminine. Of course the last part is in the eye of the beholder.
  18. Given Elon's involvement in this tweet, I can only assume that the boxer is a transgender woman. The Right's preoccupation with transgender participation women's sports is interesting because they proudly proclaim that they've never watched any women's sports. It's also very lame that he wants to play the game that they're going to create scenarios or rumors they proclaim true unless Kamala immediately focuses her campaign on their question.
  19. There could be good reasons why Vance changed his name in adulthood. Perhaps the stepdad was a POS and Vance saw it as an opportunity to get away from that history. I might want to get away from being named after a bad guy. What's keeping us in learning more about Vance is the very fact that he's not giving anyone the opportunity to get to know him. He doesn't seem to do any interviews where he's asked questions about himself, his family or his life. He just gets behind a podium, acts awkward and goes home. And this guy might soon be one McDonalds hamburger away from the Oval Office.
  20. Props to Administration and military in looking to close the 9/11 trials by agreeing to deals with 3 of the 9/11 terrorists. CNN story We're 23 years removed from the tragedy and 21 years since KSM was arrested. Given the torture/interrogation with him, he was never going to have a trial to our standards. I gather he and the others accept guilt of the 3K murders, and we take the death penalty off the table. We might have thrown in some improved prison situation as well. I'm not advocating that we open the doors of the jail but we need closure on the Gitmo detainees. It's not an American value to hold people indefinitely like we've done. I'm sure Biden and Harris will take heat from Trump in that he would have strung KSM up. Of course, he didn't in his 4 years.
  21. Trump and TexAgs will claim that today Biden freed the most evil people since Hitler. Trump would have convinced Putin to accept leftover Best Buy gift cards for the Americans' release.
  22. 2008 made me forget 2000-2002. Bad enough there were back-to-back years of -10% and -13% only for the party take home gift of -23% the next year. Thanks for playing. I can't even fully recall what I did with all of my dot com internet stocks. JDSU made me ton. I believe I ended up dumping everything by the end of the crash. Dumb move as I had a modest amount in Amazon.
  23. It's uncommon for a man to change his last name, at the time of his marriage, to his grandparents name. I doubt anyone is keeping a record of this, but let's go with a conservative number that only 1 person has done this. The only explanation that I can think of is that his wife refused to take his adopted dad's surname. And Vance (Bowman or Hamel) wanted to share a surname with his wife. Her Indian name would be out of the question so they compromised on Vance. Do many people attend a prestigious law school like Yale, only to change their name so former classmates don't make the connection. You have to guess that until he ran for Senate and definitely VP, some of his Ohio State and Yale classmates had no idea that JD Hamel was JD Vance. Isn't a major reason to attend a top tier law school is due to the connections you make?
  24. Vance calling Kamala a phony who changes her persona depending on the situation. Vance is on his 3rd name AND he's spoken about having to change his own persona based on the situation. He's one person at Yale. Someone else in Ohio. And as mentioned many times here, someone can identify which 0, 1 or many races, ethnicities or nationalities. Short of someone faking a connection, everyone has a right to their own life experiences. And honesty, I think people can even choose without a blood connection. It's their life.
  25. Did he actually say this? The video quality gives AI vibes.
