Thats awesome. Same with my kid. His roommate is a long time friend who has always under achieved. I was concerned with him dragging my kid down. But my kid has found new friends, and while his roommate rots in the dorm, my kid gets out and does things. It almost encourages him to do better daily and find healthy places to study and not be that guy. My kid made varsity in soccer as a Junior and started. Roomate got cut. Been that way since they were 9 years old. Band, soccer, academics, and girlfriends. So just because fuck ups follow you; it doesn't determine outcome. Especially this generation. They hardly drink and aside from phone usage are pretty solid. It was actually nice to start the semester with friendly faces and parents we knew. Its also super convenient to have a few local friends to carpool home with. I feel a little bit safer about him driving 8 hrs with someone to keep him awake. They also all went to meet friends at UT Dallas. And had friends visit. Nice balance of new friends to move on from. Knowing a few friends at a school isnt a terrible thing until you find your people. Even at UT I would have classes with high school people I didn't know well and we would share notes and calloborate. It was helpful versus approaching some random person "hey I am missing Friday, can I get notes" By Junior year I didn't really hang with many HS friends. Will look into fly fishing club. Thank you.
My kid a great first semester at Arkansas. Good support staff, good advisers, loves the campus. He watched way too much football to take advantage of the mountain biking and fishing. But got a 4.0. I did Not my first semester at UT. Has been volunteering a bunch which the school encourages. Very pleased. And the pricepoint is nice. Its far enough away where his mom can't bug him to come every weekend but close enough that he can come home for fall break and Thanksgiving. And he is not at Aggy
You want a clean poop spot in the morning? Any random hotel lobby restroom. Just walk right the fuck in.
Toilet hell on earth in the morning would be home depot.
It was eye opening in the 90s and 00s to see Canadians Always displaying the maple leaf flag to not be mistaken as Americans.
Its only gotten worse. Are you Americans? Oh Shit! Do you like Trump? Universal disdain and constant apologies across the globe.
Aggie fixed the rollercoaster in dramatic fashion, OU wins, UT loses to Georgia for the third time in almost a calender year.
Guadalupe river trout had a horrible hold over year, worst in recent memory perhaps due to rain raising release temps to unsustainable levels this summer. Saltwater Fishing, especially Trout near Poc is the worst in my lifetime.
My father in law just rolled in for a month. He likes to cook fish in the microwave. Not reheat fish in microwave like a garden variety asshole, I am talking blast a shit piece of salmon or tilapia from some Chinese ditch for 7 minutes from raw to well fucking done. Fucking gross.
Luckily i have other options. But my house smells horrible a day later. Enshitened if you will
We have a new pastor
My wife met with him privately and came away reassured. They continue to preach the gospel and a message that all the red hats in attendance should be disgusted by based on thier horrible politics, but they are too obtuse to understand the message or just go because thier wife makes them.
The pastors 100% mix in messages that are very anti maga because the entire gospel is anti maga.
Yet we have a parking lot full of 250s some with maga shit.
Do forget that our shitastic media bears a lot of the blame for this. How can people be better informed when they have countless lies and propaganda shoved down thier throats?
Anyone done a Tesla solar roof system with batteries to go off grid? Say 2500 sq ft with propane and a generator as backup?
For a client. Asking more along the lines of performance of the system and service.
Any recommendations in Austin?
I have done Tesla batteries including a fire safe storage room etc; and the chargers work great, often better than GM to date. GM can tend to overdraw and trip breakers if not set up correctly.
*excludes my opinions of the ceo asshole.
