  1. I have two at UT right now. Both through CAP. The older one just missed top 6%, and she's crushing it. The younger one was NOWHERE NEAR top 6% but somehow still got CAPed. He's doing fine. There won't be a "Summa" on his diploma, but he'll graduate. It's insane how hard it is to get into UT from higher-performing Austin (and other) high schools. I'm sorry, but it sells the university short.
  2. What do you think about chicken fried in the air fryer? We have a very small one that might handle a couple of thighs, best case, so I've never tried it, but it might be worth it.
  3. Rage rep emoticon insufficient. This is fucking nuts.
  4. Looks like a booger with a neck.
  5. My mom (RIP, bless her heart) once told me about her father teaching her how to kill a chicken by swinging it around by the head until its neck broke. The funny thing was, he wasn't a farmer, he was a tax attorney. He just happened to raise chickens.
  6. Ah. I will now go practice my pentatoxic scales.
  7. I bought 0% of the conspiracy theories on Assasination Attempt #1. This one smells very weird. No shots fired by the alleged assasin, using a weapon that no sniper would pick, fired on at least twice with no hits, and a quickly busted escape attempt. Yeah, right.
  8. You may assert that value doesn't track, but my Travis County appraised value went down 30.6% this year (2023 -> 2024).
  9. Not a Jeff Beck fan, more or less. The guy was brilliant, no doubt, just not my style of music.
  10. I can't read the article, but what? I like Perry, more than I liked Beck, actually, but the two could hardly be more different.
  11. Great comments about watching his son play. He admitted he just reverted to dad mode, like any dad watching his kid play. Took his headset off and just watched a couple of plays.
  12. I couldn't make out the guy's number -- either 1 or 7, neither of which makes sense if you look at their roster, and their font is too stylish to be useful -- but he was getting really mouthy at Sark very late in the first half. It was when Sark had a clear view of a facemask that wasn't called. It looked like he told the UTSA guy to fuck off.
  13. Paul is correct. Yes, there is a FOH (front of house) mixer running the sound everyone hears, and a monitor mixer running what each individual player hears. Those individuals want different things. Combine that with a guitar player like Navarro who almost surely wants his amp cranked to get the feel he wants on stage, and it can be a battle of wills. Plus, bottles of wine.
  14. Wait, wut? No. He needs to be back for OU. MSU is a much shorter timeline, and possibly unwise.
  15. . . . and if UGA moves ahead of us but we blow out OU while they beat MSU, then we could swap again. It's early. It doesn't mean there is no value in currently being #1. It's the best place to be at the moment.
  16. We have "a target on our back", regardless, and if we don't beat OU, it's pretty much a moot point.
  17. Well, she's horrible, so yes, she should be taken off the air . . . years ago. An absolutely unlikeable, untalented hack who mostly just interrupts people.
  18. Cool clip of Buddy Rich and Desi Arnaz, Jr. in a drum "battle" on "Here's Lucy". Look at those two kits. What's Desi playing? Looks like Ludwig? Both kits are gorgeous.
  19. Yeah, and if I DID use crepes, I'd just buy some out of the refrigerated section. Ain't nobody got no time to make crepes.
  20. Well, "the best blowjob ever" is often "the most recent blowjob ever".
  21. Can we please retire this bullshit? Year after year after year. It's as dumb as "I'd rather be ranked lower and sneak up on people".
  22. I remember the Shipman/Bradley/Barnstone years when Austin government was seriously anti-growth (except for pet projects that lined certain people's pockets). Their perspective damaged Austin as much as anything did.
  23. Here's how I see it: Northern Illinois > Notre Dame > A&M > Florida > Purdue > McNeese State BUT BUT BUT now that Reed has taken over it's clear that the Ags would have beaten them all, so playoffs: A&M > Northern Illinois > Notre Dame > Florida > Purdue > McNeese State It's science.
  24. Minor nit: we don't know what he looks like against Georgia.
  25. I'm not sure how you'd get that from Rao's (if you've tried it). It comes in a glass jar and contains no sugar:
