Shooting at Austin protest tonight, 1 dead
Why not both? If drunk driver hits a pedestrian on the highway, sure the drunk driver is still guilty from a legal matter. But the person walking on the highway is still a dumbass and we should use it as a learning tool to not walk on the highway. Yeah Perry is a guilty, but Foster is also a lesson about leaving guns at home.

Tell me about Charleston
Good timing on this bump. Headed there for the weekend. Reservations for Husk, Grace and Grit, The Ordinary and High Cotton. Hoping to get some BBQ in as well. Have the kids along so staying at the The Beach Club as I saw some others picked as well.

Do you FIRE? Financial Independence, Retire Early
Being able to pick the kids up daily was 100% part of the plan. I was working in a job that was 80% travel and I felt like I was missing them growing up. Prior to that my wife was already not working. Now we split the kid duties (and honestly she still does more). Since they are in school until after 3 every day so it doesn’t stop me from being able to do whatever I want for most of the day. Them being in school absolutely limits what we can do as far as travel since we are tied to the school schedule. The other thing that limits it is your friends are all still working. So while you might be free to go play golf in the middle of the day, no one else is…

Do you FIRE? Financial Independence, Retire Early
This as well. I am about to hit 18 months since I left the job, one day I just decided enough was enough, and I do find looking at the market less and less now. Unlike you I have a 2nd and 5th grader taking up plenty of time.

What would it take for Rodney Terry to earn the job?
Congrats - This is some of the dumbest shit i have ever seen posted on this site.

Once we have decided to hire him - why do you care if he gets paid 3.5M a year or 5? That is not going to make a difference to the university. We should pay the man the going rate, I am pretty sure CDC can figure out what that is.

I laugh at all the people suggesting Terry is just going to agree to some small buy out. He just took Texas to the elite 8, while I am sure his first choice is to be at Texas. The man has options now and this is a business on his side as well.

Who's on board?
What is in front of us could not have played out any better for us. One game at a time and all that, but the path is clear as day right now.

Their website kinda sucks. But I guess “benchmark” is above 800?

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
It’s going to be such a cluster fuck, and so much fun at the same time.

Austin post Wedding Dinner Places
County Line is not a bad choice for this sort of thing. Out of towners love it and it is crowd pleasing. Fonda San Miguel is very Austin and they do a nice job with these things. It feels unique and memorable to people.

Best Surly Approved credit card
If it is going to be used that infrequently I don’t think it matters much. Just get one the 2% cash back cards and be done, it doesn’t sound like you are looking for any other travel perks.

High end kitchen appliances
Sure I hesitate a little because everyone can have a lemon… first off we did not buy this fridge but it was purchased right before we moved in the house (I have the receipts). I will look at the model when I am home but two issues. First the condenser failed, I think it was around year 5. It was an easy fix and they had a repair guy out within a couple days. This one did not bother me that much. It also has indoor ice and water (I will never buy a fridge with this again) and that thing has never worked right. I have taken it apart and it is actually a mechanical issue that needs an assembly line change. I won’t bore you with details. But my recommendation would be to just avoid any extra functions.

I think I mentioned in the other thread we are doing a kitchen remodel as well. We have a sub-zero fridge and I actually dislike, we have had to have it serviced a few times. We are switching to a Dacor fridge, we will see how that goes.

London-Paris First Timer
Never heard of that website but you need to see a breakout of costs to understand it. Are flights included in that? Super easy to book yourself. So is eurostar. You can get plenty of recommendations for hotels from people on here if you let us know more what you want to be close to (or hell what you want to do).

Selection Sunday Thread
I think people forget they usually make a couple brackets in case there are some late upsets Sunday. Houston won’t be the overall 1.
