A-Tex Devil

Over who, though, if Reyna is healthy, unless we decide we do not need a true 9? I presume it's CP-??-Weah/Gio up front with MMA behind them. Injuries will solve all of this, but two of Weah/Gio/Aaronson are likely starting on the bench if everyone is healthy. He could supplant Weston, I guess. It's a good problem to have, though. I like the idea of him coming on in minute 65-70 to run the other team ragged in the heat.

I hope this article doesn’t get lost in today’s events. It is a long and a must read, particularly in light of the right’s reaction. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/09/trump-administration-family-separation-policy-immigration/670604/

I didn’t see a great thread on Help board, so I am posting this here…. we have a 2017 GLS 63 AMG. Other than gas mileage, we love it. On drive to Colorado, the whole center console screen and related electrical and media functionality crashed. Radio, USB chargers, backup camera, anything media related. Not a reset or a fuse issue. The system crashed. It’s under warranty, but the dealership can’t get MBUSA to fix it and no dealerships can offer up a refurb. It’s a relatively popular used car, so I get the limitation on availability. But I am the one that is stuck now. Curious, as a general matter, if we are just fucked, or if they have some obligation to make it right via payment for diminution in value or something like that on a trade in. I mean, we ostensibly paid for this warranty when we bought the car as a CPO, presuming it was built into the value. I am not hopefully they will find anything and I am not thrilled with leaving the car at the dealer for 6 months while we wait (at same time, if I take it back, I return the loaner and the urgency on their part goes away). I can go look at the fine print, but I am lazy, so curious if anyone knows for certain how this may work. I presume we are just fed until they miraculously find the replacement. Relevant to thread in that I have a Panamera Sport Turismo S Hybrid build coming in November, but if I have to go buy another SUV for the wife (would probably get a new X7), I may need to push that off, which would give me a sad.

If Dems can’t capitalize on what was learned from KS, it will be disappointing. Every house and senate candidate should imply that a vote against them is a vote for preventing 10 year old rape victims from getting abortions. Make it the same as the KS referendum in voters mind, particularly those inclined to sit it out unless they are personally worried about something…. You know, millennials and Gen Z. Until those under 40 think it’s as important to vote as those over 60, we are turbofucked.

He’s also not playing in World Cup so he’ll be nice and rested when things start back up.

So Bernard somehow uploaded Teddy into Dolores simulation and Dolores is going to solve this thing from the inside? This is ripping off endgame a bit it seems. Let the shitty thing happen and lose the major battle on purpose to win the war.

All in for Leeds in top 6! 33-1 last I saw.

Fair. It's just fun to be pissed off about something like that for an Austin professional sports team.

Thoughts - - So I am surprised Washington isn't getting more run. He looked good against Red Bull. - As I stated upthread, I imagine that is Redes last game of any real run. Finlay will give way to Rigoni, but still be valuable off the bench. Redes is buried with Stroud. - Urruti is still our best up top, unless we move Driussi up there, but I would like to see Moose and Hoesen get some opportunities to start. - I am ready for Valencia to come back at CDM or to move Ring back there, Is he still hurt or just benched? Perreira has promise as an above average MLS player, but he's got ADD or something. I've never seen a guy get the ball taken from him when he gets it as much as he does. No awareness of the guys closing in on him when he receives a pass. But we need more consistency back there, so I'll lose the runs upfield Danny gives us for possession and lack of turnovers in the back. - Finally, we need to find a way to get fucking Zan on the field more. When behind against Red Bull, we had him and Gallagher on field as outside backs together. That's probably not ideal, but both are smart players. I really like Gallagher, despite that one horrible, horrible game earlier this summer. Dropped two more points to LAFC this weekend and they have a game in hand. Pretty comfortably ahead of third place Dallas so we can get a home game in playoffs, but supporters shield looking tougher and tougher even if we win in two weeks. Need 3 points next week, no excuses.

So this may be Redes’ last game given Rigoni showing up. Let’s root for the kid.

Gabrielson is unsung given the rest of his back line. He’s really good. Not sure there are many CBs outside WZ and Chiallini in MLS that are better than him.

Steffen needs to be behind Sean Williams in pecking order. He’s lost it. I’d rather have someone steady than the dude that makes a miracle save but let’s a questionable in or a howler every game. Need to stop worrying about where he played and instead how he looks now.

McCarthy, Roy Cohn, and Nixon?

Was coming to post this. I hope GGG doesn't sleep on this guy. He's the most proven 9 we have by a long shot as it relates to actual goal scoring in Europe. Perhaps not most talented or best fit with our midfield, but I really want this guy coming off bench in minute 70 to fuck shit up.

Dude. She is a true believer. Not just in Trump but in her own abilities. There are very few less self-aware people on this planet, my mother-in-law being one.

Evil Caleb. Biggest question, who sent Teddy to Dores/Christina?

I thought 8 would be tough too but we went to one and game is over by 1015 latest and you can be in car and out within 30 minutes of final whistle. Think about the pain in ass of getting in and out of UT football games but the exact opposite. It’s the best part about the live games. I recommend buying parking ahead of time through Pavemint but you don’t have to.

And Bale and Chiallini……. Would not be stunned if it’s the most expensive ticket since opening day last year.

I presume gerrymandering is the main reason Dems likely can't win the house. Otherwise, I do not fully understand how so many districts would have flipped in the last 2 years. It's not like the GOP is putting up more palatable candidates to the moderates.

So even before the press release there was clearly going to be a sequel. Whoever the boss of the main CIA guy and gal is kept getting mentioned, but they didn't show him. Also, I presume the "asset" was more than just a mcguffin given it actually showed some of the video. In any event good movie that simultaneously was 15 minutes too long and ended abruptly.

This is where my initial line of questioning was going. First, while I will not fault anyone for leaving Texas because of its legislation, that is exactly their aim. And the more states that do this successfully, the more the minority rules federally. Josh "Zippy" Hawley said as much. But that is being addressed on threads across this board. Back on topic.... if Elon Musk, for example, has his Texas tax paradise ruined by zealots such that he can't hire the talent he needs to surround him, I think he might launch a few bombs. More extreme, if Robert Smith is told that his marriage is illegal, he's not going to lift Vista out of Austin. I presume he'll work to get ahead of all of that. Whither Peter Thiel in all of this, frankly. 8VC and Mithril both have most of their presence in Austin these days. So he has a bunch of money tied up in talent down here. Longwinded way of saying I could see an internecine capitalist war potentially coming to Texas. I'll be curious what side of the scale Big Oil puts its thumb on.

I presume that is the real reason Bezos is piloting his drones there. Pre-culling surveillance.

Totally.

Sad to hear. That said, this guy was 1A on people I presumed were already dead. I think I’ve been surprised at least twice in my life when I found out he was still alive.

Read “Why We Did It”. These people aren’t ever abandoning Trump if the polls say not to. It’s the only way to stay in the game and it’s team over country. Honestly, if Dotard dies, they will double check whether they need to ride DTJ or Ivanka in 2024 if that’s where the “crocs, deplorables, and carnies” are voting.
