    Admin and law enforcement have demonstrated a default response of “crack skulls, don’t ask questions later.” Not exactly conducive to negotiation. Unfortunately, the time for constructive dialogue passed when Hartzell called in skull crackers that love to toss around protesters, but can’t stop a mass shooting at an elementary school.

    I see you’re one of those “not everything about Hitler was terrible” guys.

    You can’t pick and choose when you’re talking about a propagandist. You won’t be taken seriously.

    Exactly what I was thinking. To say it’s a disappointment with no attribution is opinion. If the reporter asks the candidate or a campaign official how many they were expecting and whether they were happy with the turnout and the reports the answer with attribution, that’s fact based journalism.

    It’s a lot less than 50-60%. The biggest problem we have in this country is that people, particularly young people, don’t vote.

    Vonlane is a game changer. Unless I’m taking my large, unruly dog with me it’s a no brainer between Houston and Austin. In my previous job, I used it weekly. Pro tip: if you use it frequently, get a Vonlane pass. It’s basically a discounted prepaid account. In addition to a discount, you get free booze on all of your trips. As for air travel, I’m convinced that the airlines don’t mind that it’s a miserable experience. It helps them create a value proposition for premium products like lounges and first/business class. It definitely works on me. I pay for Clear, Global Entry, have multiple lounge memberships and fly only first or business these days to reduce my exposure to the misery. I think there’s a lot of people out there like that. Heck, WN has been talking about how they might start offering premium products because they realize they’re missing out on a big source of revenue.

    Charging for chips and salsa is most certainly protest worthy.

    I think he’s one of imma’s classmates from his aggy days.

    Totally forgot about that. I think you’re right. Makes so much more sense now. I was like:

    That’s weird since you have your nose firmly implanted in Elon’s butthole.
  11. royiv
    Honestly, that makes it worse. If you had a scintilla of intellectual curiosity, you would question the things that are being force fed to you by the algorithm. You are voluntarily being radicalized by Elon and you’re lapping it up just like he wants you to. You are the poster boy for the term useful idiot.

    Great work by that reporter. Lets her hang herself out to look like a moron. It’s the dog that catches the car and then doesn’t know what to do with it.

    Haven’t seen the video you’re referencing (would be great if you could post it), but I don’t think you will get much push back here that a UT professor ignoring a Jewish student attempting to participate in a discussion is a chickenshit move. Also, not acknowledging that Hamas is a terrorist organization. That professor should be publicly shamed if that’s true.

    Yeah, just heard that and noped out on watching any longer. Can’t get behind that level of ignorance.

    There are also some protesters out there.
  18. royiv
    You’re making a very good argument for just ignoring them.

    I have spent nearly my entire career in women’s and children’s healthcare and what has happened in Austin over the last decade is remarkable. Opening Dell at Mueller was a big deal, but the real game changer for Austin was Dell Medical School. The investments that Ascension has made into facilities and programs since the medical school started is nothing short of amazing. Families in Central Texas have benefitted a ton from Ascension and UT throwing a ton of money and energy toward Dell Children’s.

    I did. The docs at Pediatric and Congenital Cardiology Associates of Texas are all top notch. I worked directly with that group for a number of years and they attract top talent. Main office is in the pavilion on Dell’s main campus and they have several satellite offices around town.

    Dude, you are so far out over your skis on this one. Pediatric cardiologists don’t perform surgery. Pediatric cardiovascular surgeons perform surgeries. Pediatric cardiologists evaluate, diagnose and treat cardiac conditions in children adolescents and, in some cases (congenital heart conditions), adults. You’re conflating someone that does the aforementioned roles with a pediatric CV surgeon. A pediatric cardiologist IS the middle step between the pediatrician and a surgeon. Just accept that you made a bad recommendation and move on.

    There’s no reason to ever speak to one of your employees like that. That’s terrible management and leadership.
  23. royiv
    If it’s not your area of expertise, I would stay away from recommending physicians that don’t have fellowship training in treating kids. Austin is home to a world class group of pediatric cardiologists. That’s where anyone with a kid with a potential heart issue should start.
  24. royiv
    FWIW, neither of the docs you mentioned are pediatric cardiologists. They may see pediatric patients, but neither is fellowship trained or board certified in pediatric cardiology. The docs at Pediatric and Congenital Cardiology Associates of Texas are all specialty trained and board certified in pediatric cardiology.

    My wife had a dog named Oatmeal that she brought into our marriage!
