  1. I have no issue with the concept, but the current implementation by HEB means the aisles are always clogged with teenagers fetching shit in those big rolling stands, and they have the situational awareness of .....well, teenagers.
  2. This shit blows my mind.... that includes fees, btw
  3. Now do pussy... Shitty people make bad decisions, news at the top of the hour. There are bigger scams taking place in the stock market every day, doesn't mean I'm not going to invest.
  4. Probably something along the lines of "I should send O'sullivan's wife another picture of my dick"
  5. Not a huge surprise, other than maybe Swain who I recall seeing in a couple of NBA mock drafts over the summer. I'm curious who will step up to be that clutch time, go-to scorer, as nobody on the roster has been that guy consistently yet in their career. Our entire roster seems to be role players, which I acknowledge you can get away with more in college than the NBA, but I have concerns about where our scoring/outside shooting will come from. It should be an interesting season to get a feel for how the recruiting/portal piece of the puzzle develops. Its a transition year and there wasn't much left here in Austin, but we didn't hire Miller to field rosters like this.
  6. Every now and again, Northloop's posts match perfectly with his avatar
  7. Fuck Jim Davis. That email tells me all I need to know about that fucking idiot.
  8. been some great hoops tonight Presumably they wont play 80 more double overtime games.
  9. In 2025, Wentz will earn a base salary of $1,255,000 and a signing bonus of $167,500 Dude is getting fucking killed out there, that's like $500 a hit
  10. mathurin is fucking ballin out there.
  11. Can't believe I'm back in the green with this POS stock. Awfully tempted to sell and never look back.
  12. Pretty minimal increase in salary if true, but it would presumably put him in the top half of managers ranked by pay.
  13. My books dont have that future nor does kalshi have a market that i could find. But I did just find this on fanduel: and this on draftkings I'd be all over that 50-1, but I cant get on fanduel

    couldn't even put up 16.1. bust confirmed.
  15. Agreed. I cant believe all the weeping gashes on this site when it comes to that game. I'd take us to win straight up against those slapdicks if Texas was 0-11 heading into the game. That school is hardwired for failure in the biggest games. Their fanbase will be so geeked up for that game, crowing about how its time they take control of the SEC, and then on the first series Anthony Hill will rip reed's helmet off, drop a big deuce in there, and slam the helmet back on reed's head. And the wheels will come off for them. If we win all of our other games except UGA, we will be favored when aggy comes to town, but if we drop a couple like I suspect we will and they keep winning, they will be the favorites. Which is great, because I'll be a ML betting m'fer when aggy roles into DKR. Fuck aggy, we'll beat them with Derka at QB. Bonus points if the refs blow a few calls in our favor to really get those goobers bitching.
  16. No shame in stonking it up. I thought the short squeeze angle was bullshit last friday but still bought options because in my experience, if you notice all the apes assembling and jacking each other off about a stonk on reddit early enough, its worth a gamble. Especially on penny stocks with super cheap weekly options, because millions of contracts trading will drive volume on the underlying. We'll see if the apes keep it up.
  17. I'm highly skeptical of stories like this, although I didn't watch anything more than the clip above. They make for great fear mongering when you want to push a certain agenda, but I'd need more data. about 15 years ago there was a very similar story to this that caused a lot of consternation, except it was Russia and the target was a municipal water system in Illinois: https://www.reuters.com/article/markets/u-s-probes-cyber-attack-on-water-system-idUSN1E7AH1QU/ It was all bullshit. The pump burned out and the 3rd party system integrator that the city hired to manage its controls was travelling in Russia. He got a call, so he logged in remotely to access the controls system so he could assess the situation, and the next thing you know it was all over the news that russia took an illinois water system offline. I sold control software for many years and actually talked to that integrator on the phone a few times when he was kicking the tires on some of our products to replace his homegrown software. It was a hilarious conversation once I found out he was the guy. When he got back to the states and saw the story blow up in the media, he actively contacted authorities as well as media companies that were promoting the russian cyberattack angle, and nobody wanted to believe him. He finally said fuck it, made sure the city officials were clear on what happened and stopped trying to correct the narrative. The FBI eventually begrudgingly determined Russia had nothing to do with it, but they fought that narrative for quite a while even when the integrator was telling them what happened. Now 15 years of selling industrial control software into critical infrastructure installations and manufacturing companies has me terrified of what is possible if foreign actors really wanted to fuck with shit. The big size cities and billion dollar companies generally do a decent job of following vendor guidelines and implementing some sort of cyber security framework. The smaller cities and municipalities cant afford full time controls engineers so they outsource everything and commonly dont pay for annual support agreements so their controls software isnt patched and vulnerable as shit. You wouldn't believe how many times I was given remote access credentials to look at a software issue on a system I had no business being given access to. I would tell these people DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORDS, and they would answer, but you work for the vendor, we can trust you. There are also huge numbers of wireless access/connectivity solutions on lift stations, remote control panels, etc... that are using default passwords or no passwords. It further convinces me that there arent a lot of people trying to bring shit down, because if there were, it wouldn't be too fucking hard.
  18. When the euphoria dies, it will go back to being sub $1. Nothing changed about their business, they cant make money, sales have been falling for 3 straight years, and their product still tastes like ass. Bankruptcy concerns caused them to swap debt for equity resulting in the creation of an additional 316M shares. You had debt holders looking at a significant loss if BYND went under, and all of the sudden they were given an escape path to breakeven or even profit once the price eclipsed $3. I would love to know how many of those debt holders still even have those shares. My guess most took advantage of their get out of jail free cards, and those 316M newly minted shares are now in the hands of retail investors who will get proper fucked. A share count that is 400% higher and business fundamentals that are still complete shit isnt a recipe for long term price appreciation. The idea of a sustainable short squeeze seems like fiction to me. There might still be the possibility of a gamma squeeze due to the explosion of OI in options, but even that seems sketchy to me.
  19. Helo just stumbles through life spreading his unique brand of stupidity. His lack of awareness is so complete I'm actually surprised he hasn't been run over by a train by this point in his life.
  20. Yeah that has to do with some other stupid horseshit Trump has going on, they rejected signing the compact https://news.virginia.edu/content/uva-declines-invitation-join-federal-education-compact
  21. I think you can pretty much just plug-in Bronny for those stretches, don't know what the fuck JJ is thinking.
  22. Ha. I sold my bet on OKC for .94 cents when they went up 115-111. Now I can buy it again at .50, and see if i can win OKC twice in the same game, lulz.
  23. Doesn't sound like you are having much of a conversation to me. I'm calm as can be, my point is that this thread exists to make fun of your shithole university and we'll talk about whatever we want. Currently that happens to be Kirby's campaign against tortillas, which by his own admission, he leaned into himself this summer.
  24. Noted. But realize this is a thread started on a Texas board to tool on you fucking idiots, so we probably don't really care that you don't want to talk about how much of a fucking idiot your AD is.
