  1. The cherry on top is the area code on the truck. Yep, you guessed it, 561 the area code for West Palm Beach.
  2. It's interesting to follow the discussion on lot sizes. When my wife and I moved back to TX from AZ, we moved from a 10k sf lot in a central Phoenix area to a 2,500 sf lot in central Houston. I think you would have a hard time convincing us to go back. We absolutely love having a very low maintenance yard and we've found living so close to your neighbors to be a major plus. Our little block is very tight knit. We keep an eye on each other's houses, put Amazon packages in each other's garages so they don't get porch pirated, etc. We socialize a lot more with our neighbors than we ever have before and a it's not unusual for an impromptu happy hour to break out in someone's driveway in the cooler months. I know it's not for everyone, but I love the density.
  3. Even if they get 217 in their side meetings, I don't think this crew can be trusted to hold the line and vote as promised they would on the floor. Too many of these fools like the attention and clicks that comes from creating chaos.
  4. There's a whole lot of catholics that are for completely closed borders. They're the variety that want to pull the ladder up behind them.
  5. Oh, look, Paxton retaliating against the House impeachment managers. Cool, cool. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/10/09/ken-paxton-impeachment-managers-criminal-complaint/
  6. We're going to need some paystubs posted.
  7. Those are awful. @Al_4_ISU, what say you?
  8. Yeah, was being tongue in cheek about all the morons who blame every loss on officiating.
  9. I was told that SEC referees are going to be the savior for Texas football.
  10. This. I reserve using the word cunt for the most cunty. Lake qualifies many times over.
  11. Just don't let the offense get into the red zone. Need to score from long.
  12. Yormark directly connected to the refs earbuds Do tell, how is Yormark making players run into the punter or commit a false start? These are pretty obvious penalties. Bitch about replays all you want, but the penalties that have been called so far have been accurate.
  13. ABC needs to get their shit together. It's like they brought their shittiest truck.

    I don't get it. Feels like a big misstep. Democrats are going to hate it and not buy his reasoning and I can't imagine it gets any Republican votes.
  15. I mean, Brady only won 8 games with the Bucs last year and, as much as I can't stand Baker, he has them at 3-1 so he has a shot at a better season than Brady. No, 2020.
  16. Was curious what the most expensive home ever sold in the US for so I looked it up. $239 million for a penthouse duplex in Manhattan. Of course, that home doesn't have deed restrictions attached to it restricting its use to be a private club. I don't think someone is going to buy a piece of property for 8x that amount and want to live in a private club with 500 members. Maybe they want to run it like a business? Dues are apparently $20k annually, but let's say the average member spends $100k a year at the club. That's $50 million in annual revenue. Minus expenses, let's generously say it's throwing off $12.5 million in EBITDA. No one is paying >100x for that.
  17. Totally agree that voter turnout is pathetic in this state, but if people were really pissed about the state of affairs, wouldn't they vote? I know you and Stassney likely feel like it's the streak of losing that suppresses the vote, and there's probably a not insignificant amount of that, but I also think enough people are okay with the status quo and know that they don't need to make the effort to vote because they like the way things are.
  18. I'll agree with you on that point from a GOTV standpoint, but it doesn't seem to stop the large urban areas from solidly voting D. It still doesn't explain why our statewide offices are occupied by extremists if the thesis is that the majority of Texans are independent with a slight conservative lean.
