    One of the more amusing things is M-Tex Oil HQ seems to be in Continental Plaza/777 Main in FW, where I spent several years at the beginning of my career. Building's getting a bit long in the tooth, but I guess the Bass buildings at 201 Main hit a little close to home.
  2. In more "on the job" cases, I believe City of Dallas provides attorneys and some coverage through Texas Municipal League. Maybe that's changed or TML has declined coverage given the recent spate of cop foolishness in Dallas and elsewhere in the state.
  3. Are medicare supplements a better deal? My parents' "corporate" health insurance converted to a Medicare Supplement or Advantage, not sure which. that avoided all gaps in Medicare coverage and further reduced their liability for medical costs, reducing the Medicare contribution by 75% or more. It was a good deal, whatever it was.
  4. Definitely better than prison, for both the mentally ill and likely other inmates, as well. I think the definition of not guilty by reason of insanity definition should be expanded such that floridly mental ill can avoid prison for even heinous crimes, with a similar sentence to a mental health facility, maybe lifetime commitment with a possibility of parole. I think it should also permit more minor criminals to avoid prison sentences and convictions in a somewhat similar manner (drug, mental health, and veteran's courts do this, but I think it should be a regular feature of the CJ system).

    Didn't see him strap on a bit, either, so I guess he's not a tool pusher. Yet.
  6. Getting rid of the cat, or reducing its prominence, is going to be one of the worst branding decisions in history. I suppose they think it will distance them from their historical unreliability.
  7. Yeah, because civil servants do all the work, these guys may not actually need to be effective. But, run out the civil servants and maybe they do. It's gonna be a shitshow.
  8. Lord knows there's plenty of Park Dietz to testify for the state that no one is incompetent or insane enough to mitigate their crime.
  9. One of the best parts about the Hegseth saga is that he's out there rapin while divorce is being finalized because of his affair with baby mama/wife 3 who is about to give birth. Hegseth's peter had quite the August in 2017.
  10. Also about as plain an antitrust violation as you could come up with. Dickbrain.
  11. Apart from the value judgment in "lunacy," this right here. Part of education is exposure to a wide variety of good and bad ideas. Most ideas are mixtures of good and bad. If you're so dead set against "librul ideas" teach your kids critical thinking.

    Maybe not precisely, but I don't think there's ever been money like oil money. And probably never will be again.

    He ain't a landman.
  14. Yeah, probably. It's not as dense as Tinker, Tailor, but there's probably some subtle stuff you may have missed. There's a valid point about serpenthead, but Redmayne's character is a product of their union (loveless marriage between a disengaged father and narcissist mother) and thus a sniveling runt. It's not a perfect film, by any stretch, but the origin story of the OSS/CIA is fascinating and undermined material, imo. I find it somewhat fascinating that an Ivy-light Catholic like Donovan sought to populate the OSS and CIA with Ivy League Epsicopacy.
  15. It's been alluded to, by G650 especially, but we Americans are a bunch of fucking ingrates that have no idea how good we have it. And practicing gratitude is probably a good way for us to cope with this shit.
  16. Pretty sure net neutrality has been a dead letter for quite some time, because there has not been a non-R majority on the FCC since the Pai days. The horrors have not come to pass apparently because the ISPs can't figure out which media play to back.
  17. Former heroin addict. Sex junkie (cheater). General purpose health, vaccine, and pharma kook. Never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like. Whale juice. Don't even have to get to the bear cub. He is, apparently, quite serious about most of his pet subjects. Nevertheless, he is not a serious person.
  18. It doesn't actually have to work-work, it just has to gum things up a while. It's very good at that.
  19. So, Trump tried to do this before, Biden undid it and made a rule at OPM that will have to be undone before he attempts to do it again. And then there will be the court challenges as to whether he really has authority to do it. A lot of this shit is still going to be in the air by midterms.
  20. Yall can stop with this. That ain't her. You find her under "roly poly little batfaced girl."
