  1. I had an undergrad coop working for me at a UT lab. Her dad had died in an ultralight accident. His buddy had built the plane from a kit but didn't trust his own meager flying skills for the test flight. He asked his best friend to do the honors. Engine crapped out several hundred yards in the air, and that was it.
  2. I'd need a subscription to go out past 10 years, so this is the best I can do:
  3. No, there isn't. I don't know what the number should be, but our % capacity number has to be pretty high and there are a bunch of larger SEC stadiums that routinely sell out.
  4. Let's clarify: SXSW started as a festival for unsigned music artists to get exposure. That lasted maybe a half decade. Slowly, the assholes in charge started pandering to labels and then showcases got bigger and more exclusive and expensive. I don't know if the original model could even survive these days. Who is "signed"? Everybody? All I know is that I rarely see bands at SXSW proper events that don't suck ass. The others, even the smaller ones that are worth a damn seem to be hooked into sponsored events, often during the day, and then there are a billion private parties competing with the shitty lineups at clubs every night. It's just a failed business model. Let it die.
  5. All I know is I'd much rather have one of Ness' gold tops than Isbell's Custom, and that has nothing to do with either player.
  6. I can't decide which is more depressing: the fact that some people don't understand what inflation is, or the fact that others know what it is but pretend that they don't.
  7. Uh, neither has pink sauce. Bari's or bust for me.
  8. What the fuck are you babbling about? I certainly never predicted price spikes would recede. I spoke about inflation, and if you think I don't know the definition, think again. Talk about moving the goalposts.
  9. Why? That has nothing to do with whether inflation climbed and then dropped. Nobody said we would enter deflation.
  10. Yeah, but it's limited, for obvious reasons. (No cheeseburgers, pork, etc.)
  11. RVs ain't cheap.
  12. You have us beating Illinois? Seems a reach, and we have to get there, regardless.
  13. Beyond that, what is the definition of "transitory"? 5 year chart of annual inflation in the US:
  14. @Rex Kramer, you didn't vote for Trump in 2016. You curiously left out 2024.
  15. How so? You seem to be fine with banning things that a lot of people find icky. Why not mixed race or gay marriage? Why not the rights of minorities to vote? Hell, the rights of women to vote? I'd say you're smarter than this, but I'm not so sure.
  16. Look up, I already explained 0 wins in 1 appearance.
  17. Why? Sex (and sexuality/gender) is protected class. That's why it's discriminatory to take action against someone because of their sexuality/gender (among many other things). Did you ever take a fucking civics class?
  18. I missed this gem -- drag shows are meant to piss off liberals?

    Doesn't hurt to have near virtuoso talent at 2 3 all 4 spots.
  20. UNC has better guard play, though, at least until we rotated positions a week or so ago.
  21. He has the combination of wit, intelligence, and don't give a fuck that all the greats have.
  22. Not to mention the fact that (as is shown on the chart above) Obama issued the FEWEST executive orders per year of any POTUS back through Nixon. Any of us who pointed that out got total crickets in response. The modern American right wing: absolutely the most incurious, unthinking political demographic in our history.
  23. I didn't realize it was a small chain. Apparently they sold (sell?) them at Antone's Night Club, too.
  24. One game at Fresno State, lost to Utah in the round of 64.
