  1. Of course, these days, what constitutes "shitty schools" varies pretty widely. It's nice that they fell on the not-banning-books side of that equation.
  2. One of my favorite things now is that he claims to be following the advice of "his" lawyers. With the exception of Roy Cohn's extra-legal advice on self-promotion and general ratfucking, he's never followed a lawyer's advice in his life.
  3. I'd say that's a good sign. Mansfield is one of those semi- or recently rural places that is filled with non-natives, some of which may be Texan-types finding affordable housing and some out-of-staters. So, like a lot of Texas suburbs. I'm guessing that it has some pretty hardcore Magat types as well as some "convinceable" lean-right types. And I would take this that once the convinceables saw the Magats in full effect, they flinched.
  4. By global, you mean the territory is "anywhere in the world"? Also, given that it has been more than two years since taking the class and signing the non-compete, I guess the term is more than two years? Not a WA lawdog, but nearly every formulation of law governing covenants not to compete holds that they must be reasonable as to time, territory, and scope of activity restrained. And, under most formulations, "anywhere in the world" would not be reasonable, and a term of more than two years would be pushing it, if not also unreasonable. Quick search of WA statutes indicates a different, but related approach. https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=49.62 It looks like the general test above is applied, with certain statutory additions or glosses. Notables: may only be enforced against employees and independent contractors; a term of longer than 18 months is presumed unreasonable; only enforceable against employees paid more than 100k, independent contractors more than 250k.
  5. Yeah didn't mean to contradict, rather to elaborate on what I'm guessing is the real reason a lot of bookshelf speakers say keep a certain distance from a wall. Not all, but quite a few.
  6. At some point, I'm going to modernize my stereo. Unfortunately, many of the "higher fi" brands seem to have pretty crappy technology solutions to go with their nice amplifier electronics. And I am disinclined to spend $1k on a streamer to go with an amp. Based on @jimmyjazz recommendations of Yamaha stuff for mid-fi, I think my next receiver is probably going to be this https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/hifi_components/r-n303/index.html I have had bad past experiences with Bluetooth, so wifi/Ethernet vastly appeals to me and not necessarily having to use my phone or a PC to cue things up appeals as well. It seems to have a Burr-Brown DAC, which I have experience with, they're reputable and I know it makes a huge difference.
  7. I defer to your acoustic expertise, but many bookshelf designs have rear-facing ports or passive radiators simply because of size, thus causing the recommendation to keep them away from walls. Like you said, it's not so much a matter of the wavelengths as the speaker design itself. And not every bookshelf design has those things.
  8. I don't think a coach can prepare a team for a rivalry game that the team has never experienced as a rivalry. We've at least played aggy every year one way or another, so someone on the roster has experienced it. Same with blOwU. That's a bit different from what Mack did with OU because I think a) Mack was intimidated by Stoops because b) Stoops always outcoached him and frequently out-talented him. Mack personally had to treat it as just another game because he always doubted winning it.
  9. It's reported all over the place. She's pure-dee white trash and can be counted on to grift it for all it's worth. I give 90%+ odds of being a recent stripper. https://www.givesendgo.com/ShilohHendrix
  10. Lil smokies are a world away from vienna sausages (maintain the old lips to peckers to assholea ratio perhaps). But I can imagine that baking them for a while might dry and firm up the viennas so they're less disgusting.
  11. And, probably most importantly, contribute more than they take.
  12. Seems oddly similar to what happened when we lost Tanner Witt. Team just nosedived for a while. To a greater degree than can be explained by the loss of a single pitcher.
  13. Also "he is the exception not the norm" is a complete load of horseshit.
  14. Except this timeline proves that this is pretty definitively not true. Truth in this administration is irrelevant. Expertise is ignored and even vilified.
  15. I mean, it's not just Walz, look at who is on his list. VP, SoS, DNI, whatever Witkoff is. Total opsec clown show.
  16. No comment on Audrey? Surly has evolved.
  17. So, I had to look at the docket. There's nothing in there that would indicate any reason for the government to settle, of course. Somewhat curiously, the government had not made a qualified immunity motion. But they were still jockeying around with jurisdictional motions. One fun thing, though. Apparently, the Babbits had hired a contingent fee lawyer out of Maryland to handle their case before Judicial Watch popped up. He has intervened with a fee lien so they're not going to get it all.
  18. I was told the Trump Admin would support LEO to the fullest extent of the law. Need to get some of those Wall Street motherfuckers on the defense for FREEEEEE.
  19. 13 Ks in 6 innings. Time to turn your jerseys wrong-side-out.
  20. Yeah, it's a more subtle form of whataboutism. Instead of Hunter's laptop, or HIllary's emails, it's Carter Page FISA warrants, use of tweets as sourcing, and neocon foreign policy.
  21. Yarvin gonna debate a Harvard prof at Harvard. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/02/curtis-yarvin-harvard?utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=gnews&utm_campaign=CDAQ7Zmh-KzLtuyrARjP6N7v0trm65YBKhAIACoHCAowwo6qCzDCmcID&utm_content=rundown
  22. Somewhat amazingly, Bean continues to retain/maintain his law license. https://www.texasbar.com/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Find_A_Lawyer&template=/Customsource/MemberDirectory/MemberDirectoryDetail.cfm&ContactID=315152 Notable: Mr. Peter Justin 'Audrey' Bean https://williamsontx.mugshots.zone/bean-peter-justin-mugshot-12-25-2023/
