  1. Agreed. I have two that I like. EarPods always fall out of my ears. My go-to for traveling are the in-ear Bose corded noise-cancelling. These are perfect for long flights. I recently thought about buying the Bose EarPods, but two problems: first, they would fall out and get lost in an airplane seat; second, the battery life is only 4 hours. Forget that nonsense. The other that I like are shokz bone-conducting headphones. They let you hear other things in the environment. Great for the gym or while running outside. And they don’t fall out.
  2. The brisket. He would bring his brisket prowess to Austin.
  3. Every company is like this. I worked for Chevron for a while. Its internal webpage for Chevron acronyms used to be CHAOS (CHevron AcrOnym System). Probably still is, and I haven't worked for CVX since 2008.
  4. https://apnews.com/article/wrong-driveway-shooting-new-york-gillis-monahan-cdca1723c6ba7afb89102a1e1aaa3fe0 New York man who killed a woman after a wrong turn in his driveway gets 25 years to life FORT EDWARD, N.Y. (AP) β€” A man who fatally shot a 20-year-old woman after the SUV she was riding in mistakenly drove into his rural driveway in upstate New York was sentenced Friday to more than 25 years to life in prison. Kevin Monahan, 66, was convicted of second-degree murder in the death last April of Kaylin Gillis. She was riding in a caravan of two cars and a motorcycle that was trying to leave after pulling into Monahan’s long, winding driveway while looking for a party at another person’s house in the town of Hebron. β€œI think it’s important that people know that it is not OK to shoot people and kill them who drive down your driveway,” Judge Adam Michelini said. Apart from the wider deterrent effect, Michelini said it’s important that Monahan remain behind bars rather than be free to harm more people. The judge handed down the maximum sentence after Gillis’ father, boyfriend and best friend told Monahan and the packed court room about their anguish and the immeasurable void in their lives.
  5. Former SWC teams to make the playoffs before TAMU (all in the 4-team playoff format): OUsux UT TCU That's it. That's the list. This first year of the expanded playoffs, UT and SMU have a chance. Notable that TCU is the only one to win a CFP game. TAMU is going to lose at least one more game before the end of the regular season. Another year wandering in the wilderness.

  8. Minshew is hilarious
  9. Barbecue sauce
  10. My thought exactly. What the hell is that?
  11. Weigman’s still listed as QB1 on the depth chart. Because, you know, he IS that guy (I can’t find the Liucci tweet). But I’ll bet Beamer is better prepared for Reed than Kelly was. LSU’s inability to adjust to Reed was inexplicable and inexcusable.

  13. TAMU has had one 10-win season since 1998. No conference championships or CCG appearances. It is not a hot take or bold prediction to say that it is likely that they lose at least two more games before the end of the regular season.

    Getting old sucks

    These next few years are going to be hard, but can be incredibly sweet and rewarding. My dad shrunk physically and cognitively in his last decade. He was an incredibly strong, intelligent, and curious man, interested in the people around him, the small and big things in the world, and contemplated the biggest questions of life and existence. As he shrank, it became only about the things he could see and touch, sometimes uncomprehendingly. He was still my dad, and the moments we shared are etched into my brain. Wonderful moments of clarity when his eyes would brighten, and the thankless mundane moments of helping clean him up. They’re all equally lovely in my memory. Savor the next few years, be intentional.
