  1. I think the more important thing for Sark is to get assistants, by whatever title, that will help him see and honestly evaluate the talent (and talent needs) and capability of the offense. Something is wrong there. That something could be Sark himself and it's unfixable, but I tend to doubt it.
  2. In central Dallas, orienting your antenna according to this or a similar data source yields good results. https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html For total newbs like Bob, when you're touching your antenna, as to move it around, reception generally improves because you become a large-area antenna yourself. But if you're just moving it around randomly, when you let it go, reception goes to shit. Point it at least in the compass direction of the station's antenna, if not the precise azimuth and it will stay good when you let go of it.
  3. One really shouldn't use the term "pocket awareness" and Quinn Ewers in the same paragraph, unless one declares Quinn's to be abysmal. Arch's problem is not pocket awareness. His ability to stay upright in traffic far exceeds Quinn's. It's just that he doesn't make the throws even with the extra time.
  4. Serious attempts to quantify the "cost" of unlawful immigrants mostly say they don't cost, they add. Let's get one thing clear, undocumented immigrants are disqualified from most all government benefits.
  5. And every Trumper to a man jack will tell you that W is a war criminal. For doing exactly this.
  6. It actually says "military installations." But that's fine, because he'll make up more bullshit that the Venezuelan military is in cahoots with TdA or some other narco-terrorist organization. And now that he is going to commit undeniable acts of war, what's his plan for the humanitarian problem this is going to cause?
  7. It is what a lawyer would do. But not sure its actually necessary for a small claims deal. Here, you're trying to get Hyundai to come to its senses. And yeah, outside Texas I imagine small claims courts are more similar than different, but this generalized non-advice is for Texas small claims courts.
  8. If you are dealing with a particular corporate entity that you can discover from correspondence, they probably have a registered agent in Texas that you can look for/up here. https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/franchise/account-status/search It's probably Hyundai Motor America. Small claims courts tend to contemplate personal service in the county they sit, by constable. But I think they'll do it by first class mail, CMRR, to in state registered agents, also. They are somewhat likely to settle with you rather than have to hire an attorney to make an appearance and actually defend. But you never really know.
  9. ā€œBusinesses deserve a level playing field where government contracts are earned by performance and best value — not race or sex quotas,ā€ Hancock wrote. But what about political donors? https://www.citizen.org/news/public-citizen-report-abbott-donors-draw-nearly-1-billion-in-no-bid-state-contracts/
  10. Hell of a case of barrel droop there. Spring pistons are easy to work on with one exception, uncompressing the spring/getting it out of the air cylinder. The source for info and parts. https://www.jgairguns.biz/27-c-78_247_255/
  11. Sure it is. Your biggest problem, though, is figuring out who to sue and how to serve them.
  12. Ever been rebuilt? Probably has a leather washer on the piston, and while those are better than they sound, 75 some odd years has to be a record for longevity. Too bad he didn't luck into one of these.
  13. He needs that 350B to pay back all the illegal tariffs.
  14. Choot em! Choot em!
  15. As I have said before, academia is, by its very nature, liberal. And it therefore probably is somewhat a monoculture. And I think one can argue for more "conservative" scholarship without accusing the existing monoculture of being some woke consipiracy of DEI Marxists and trying to destroy it in favor of conservative scholarship. Other than adding a "conservative" scholar, who is truly a scholar and not some kind of demagogue, ostensibly subtracts a liberal scholar. "Best" is always subjective. It's one of those things where MAGAts seize upon a tiny kernel of truth and turn it into some kind of woke conspiracy with the worst possible solution.
  16. They will, but this particular effort is pretty lame. I'd love to see them put Andy Ogles in charge of the whole thing, though.
  17. Supposedly, Inboden hates Trump, or at least is opposed to him. His position at UT is outside of Civitas/Civic Leadership, but rather Strauss/Clements school, which is more traditionally Republican. So, he's definitely a representative of right wing academia, but probably still respects academic freedom. I mean, yeah fuck him, but enemy of my enemy type thing.

    I think liquor choices back then were rather prosaic.
  19. Guess that explains why it was filed in Texas court in Panola County. Removal then motion to transfer. Not sure why Panola County.
  20. https://thirdtermproject.com/ It is super srs, though. Andy Ogles and a constitutional amendment.
  21. The good thing about Long Walk, to me, is that it involves adolescent/young male characters, which King writes extraordinarily well, imo.
  22. Connecticut is pretty interesting. People don't think of it that way, but coastal New England is really its own rust belt. Shipbuilding and allied heavy industry that's fallen apart, leaving the economy in ruins save fishing, which has its own problems. Beautiful though.
  23. The acetaminophen/autism litigation commenced around 2022 with private plaintiffs. And the experts have already flunked Daubert and the MDL is verging on dismissal pending appeal to the Second Circuit. https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/MDL/22md3043 This is really untimely performative shit by Paxton. Complete tail-end Charlie.
  24. OL play took an immediate step up on Sark/Flood's arrival. That may have been a confluence of talent/scheme/coaching. What it didn't do was progress over subsequent years.
