Markets still falling like whoa
BurdineBandit replied to Llano Estacado's topic in Business and Markets
Basically all of this, but Ive often thought the whole game is zero sum, and although business class was able to buy more political power and more time, eventually that widening wealth gap has to answer to itself. There's only so far it can go, its not infinite. Imo. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
BurdineBandit replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
^^ The last two years' teams would not have been nearly as accomplished with say.... Swoopes, Heard, Buechele, or Card at QB. I'd debate Sam. Quinn was absolutely a high-floor QB that I think I'll look back on fondly, regardless of his shortcomings. He did not carry his team, he did not "will" his team. His teams were MUCH more talented than any teams to have played on the 40 over the past decade before him. He should be judged accordingly. But, he led, and he performed, most times. To say Quinn doesn't belong in the NFL is silly and narrow-minded. I've watched Trey Lance and Cooper Rush take snaps for the Dallas Cowboys. I'd take Quinn over either of those guys in a heartbeat. In fact, Sam, Shane and Garrett Gilbert have all been on multiple NFL rosters, to say Quinn isn't even on their level, or the hordes of no-name reserve QBs across the league, is silly. Quinn will be floating around the league 5 years from now and surly posters will still be posting GM-level opinions to the internet. -
San Antonio Spurs 2024-25 - Taking it in the pooper for Cooper
BurdineBandit replied to Mitch Cumsteen's topic in Basketball
Wings and bigs, wings and bigs, wings and bigs. How many SGs do we need? I'm starting to believe. This Flagg shit is getting willed into existence. I'll never forget winning the Wemby lottery, but I suspect I'd attempt a backflip if we won this one. The ensuing death would at least come with a smile on my face. -
I'm just hoping I'm somewhat more aware than my dad. We're playing golf with a couple of my buddies yesterday and he comments on a Tejano song that was playing on someone's speaker: "Man I saw that guy on TV the other day, and I couldn't believe that that dude got old!" Yeah, 20 or 30-somethings that had hits in 1994 tend to get old over the course of 31 years.

Don't know you, hope you get the help you need, but "Immamac delete this account and all future accounts" like you can't do it yourself, made me think:

Ever seen the comments on an AOC tweet? They're a lot more vile than believing she's a witch.
-
This would assume that he's actually capable of putting out a hit on two people. I thought part of the mystery is that we didn't even have proof that he was involved. And capable of killing more. Anyway, I just finished. Probably 6.5/10. Entertained. Could have used way more Carrie Coon, especially topless, but she has the best monologue overall obvs. The family arc..... Annoying, but I mean we could all see that ending for them, right? Gaitok won't last with Mook. He won't enjoy losing his soul to be a fake man with that girl.

I watch a lot, and this week was absolutely over the top. He usually gets a few seconds of a recorded walk in, definitely gets shown on the ringside celeb cam a couple times, but this week giving him a fucking walk in with a couple minutes of uninterrupted screen time and fuckin Tulsi and Kash and Brain Worms and Elon getting screen time and fawned over? Straight knob-slobbing going on over at UFC these days.

Well shit, plenty of dumbshits never find out. It's a new day for me... (I guess in theory it would work great. I feel like I see different every day, but I'll take their word for it that the traffic would be 40-50% worse if the galaxy brains stopping a 2nd lane of traffic to try and zip their way to the exit in the last 100 feet didn't exist).
-
I don't understand the argument for the "zipper" method of entering a line to exit on the freeway. I've heard twice now that it's the efficient method, but it still just sounds like being selfish to me. It's only efficient for the one cutting in line, there's a 95% chance they are making the person behind them brake, and thus starting the chain reaction of braking that causes backups. The constant braking chain reaction is what causes the backup, not that "not everyone is zippering". Did dumbshits just make up a term for "cut the line because I'm too important to wait" and try to make it sound like it's reasonable?
-
It's never fucking enough for them. Elon was doing this last year with DOGE. Just blatant fucking manipulation. It's never enough. Trump pump and dumped DJT (or whatever his shitcoin was called) on those cucks, and they stood there and took it. It's never enough. He's manipulating the world economy with tariff tweets now. It's never enough. If there's a bigger play he can think of he'll try it soon, because IT'S NEVER FUCKING ENOUGH.

Great show. Wasn't sure if he was teasing everyone because he kept counting down 3.5 hours, but by gawd he done it. For whatever reason, my favorite moment of the night was him playing 'Juanita'. Just didn't expect anything to be played from that album. But super satisfied that he played damn near everything I would want to hear overall. I'd have been pretty satisfied just to hear 'I Don't Mind'.

San Antonio Spurs 2024-25 - Taking it in the pooper for Cooper
BurdineBandit replied to Mitch Cumsteen's topic in Basketball
At least Atlanta lost. Not sure if they're close to moving spots at all, but it'd be nice. -
That's an interesting shirt choice. A sign of a humbling, but one can also think he probably *deserved* to be kicked out of two universities.

If OP had googled it and grabbed the entirety of the 2nd page of (incorrect) search results, he would have had ChatGPT's answer. It just packages that slop with a wordy description of why it is not what you're looking for. Along with other useless facts presented as though they would be helpful to another question that was not asked. I don't get it.

If there's any blonde-haired incels with a 1450 SAT applying to colleges this year that don't want to go aggy or private, they can apply to the new School of Civic Leadership at UT. Why would anyone who has proven a small amount of intelligence apply to an uncredentialed school? Reading the course descriptions under the Civics school is pretty funny. Teaching about exceptionalism, the constitution, Government..... Just send them online with the rest of the incels and let them learn from Stephen Miller. The government and constitution will be whatever the fuck Trump says it will be soon.

Was a fan of Anora, so sat down to watch it for Mikey, and was definitely disappointed in the whole damn episode. Marcello has charisma, but they got him all over the place flailing his arms like an inflatable tube man. The sketches were all pretty weak, but I thoroughly enjoyed Weekend update, both of them seemed to be super sharp. Mikey didn't seem to get much of a chance to have fun, but finding out she was home schooled gets me wondering just how much comedy charisma she really has. Haven't seen her in a light-hearted role yet; only seen Scream, Once upon a time..., and Anora. Wallen got an insta-skip from me. Seems to be an all-around class act, I'm really surprised to hear he's a shithead in public and on social media, at his 31 years of age. /s

Stopped and bought a $50 mega box at a NW Austin card shop off 183 a few months ago (haven't been to or bought from a shop in years) and pulled this bad boy. Had never heard of the dude so just figured it was a random prospect, but apparently he's the Rangers' #1 prospect and a top 20 guy in the MLB. Can sell now for 70-80 bucks and make a profit, or wait til he gets called up and probably sell for triple that. Can Smith from the Astros wasn't ranked nearly as high as this guy, and his prospect autos were going for 200 this week because he made the opening day roster.

I'm ready. Show me what Walker, Paredes and Smith got. Let's get Pena back on track with a little power this year. Yainier to the all-star game.

Texas Women's Basketball - Recruiting
BurdineBandit replied to BurntOrange&White's topic in UT Sports
The more I read about the decision, and about people's opinions on Aaliyah's game, it really just reminds me of LaMelo Ball and the whole AAU generation. She wants to "run" and play uptempo offense. She wants the ball in her hands, ready to shoot on any possession. LaMelo is having a hell of a time in Charlotte averaging 25 ppg on 40% shooting (career low), building his brand as a young star with another Top 5 pick....... who combined will win less than 25 games this year. OU might just be along for the brand-building ride like the Hornets are. Others will enjoy winning championships while she gains fans. Good for them. Let's be the ones building a team. -
I feel that baseball is a bit more fun, even though I grew up focusing on Basketball and Football. These days the market for baseball is still buzzing, and people are still collecting prospects years out from maturing. I bought some 2022 boxes and had a great time chasing guys like Bobby Witt, Jeremy Pena, Julio Rodriguez, and even Wander Franco (RIP) and Spencer Torkelson. Not all the guys pan out, but if you hit a big card it's rather easy to sell it for a year before the guy's market falls. Because basketball has smaller teams and less prospects, you're really only collecting a few rookies each year, and hoping to hit a superstar card otherwise. I bought a bit of basketball last year because Wemby. I haven't bought football in years. I don't think it's worth buying boxes when the only guys that keep their value are QBs and maybe WRs. Too hard to pull a valuable player. IMO. Oh, and it feels much more expensive these days. Most retail stores like Target do not seem to have very many "packs" these days, mostly boxes which will run you $30-40 for blaster boxes(4-6 packs) or $50-60 for Mega boxes. Targets in Austin seem to rarely have decent products. Apparently Barnes & Noble keep a decently stocked section.

I saw some videos of that yesterday and I was very surprised they just put them on the patio and pointed the speakers outwards. Never seen that before. Glad I got to see them at Mohawk instead, that sidewalk didn't look like the best place to watch a set. I tried to see La Securite at Valhalla yesterday and didn't realize that stage/room was so small, it was backed up to the main door and people were just hanging out in the hallway. Couldn't get a good spot to listen but they seemed like they'd be worth a real shot tomorrow. Hopefully not all their shows are packed because they play 13th Floor tomorrow I believe. Saw Los Juanos out of San Antonio later on at night and the blew me away. I've been hooked on SXSW music for about a decade now and don't think I've ever heard Tejano being played. Can't remember the last time I saw a band with members under 50 playing Tejano either, but they were fun, and had a good crowd response over at Lambert's. A little energy does the genre well, kinda sounded punk how loud/fast they played it. For the first time in my life I heard them describe an attempt at a "Cumbia Rock Opera" and I was in. Only two bands left on my list for this weekend are "Ali" and "The Thing". Don't know if I can make a 1 am showcase these days though, my back and feet got a good 3 hours in them before I just want to go home.

I don't know much about Langford other than he's the hottest Ranger in the hobby right now, but 2 low-run auto RCs, both chrome, of two budding stars, an a MM auto baseball? That seems like a great haul for a non-RC Witt. Oh and I love Stadium Club Chrome. Easily my favorite product of the post-covid resurgence, and I hate that they nixed it.
