    Damn, that one’s sold out, too. Thanks, though.

  3. My first thought is they hope he’s their Eltife: Alum and well respected former legislator. And both are low key as far as politicians go. He’s not going to burn as hot as Sharp and will be more likely to hire good people and get out of their way. And I don’t think Hegar will sacrifice everything at the altar of athletics, which may be his undoing.
  4. I think it’s a #brohio thing
  5. I read it last summer and didn’t use any support materials or read the footnotes; liked it but I’m sure I only caught about half of it. I’ve also read ASFT… and thought it was great. I’m now reading Oblivion, a short story collection. The multi-page paragraphs are a beating, but that’s kinda the point.

    Take it back 10 years, and I’d put their body of work up against any other American band over the past 30 years. I wonder if they would have been able to maintain such a consistently creative output if they had broken through. The ‘critically acclaimed but under appreciated’ niche has been really good to them.
  7. Why don’t you eat some carbs that your muscles can use as fuel before you workout and save the protein for after the workout?
  8. Remember how much of a stan horndfl was for Greg Davis? He couldn’t keep gerg’s nuts outta his mouth.
  9. Went down a rabbit hole and found this
  10. If we’re talking conspiracy theories, mine is that the trade was a requirement of the NBA approving the sale of the Mavs to the Adelsons. (I don’t really believe this)
  11. Not sure about the IRS, but she can report him to the Texas Workforce Commission. The only thing they may/can do is assess him the UI taxes he hasn’t paid and maybe interest; I don’t think there are any fines. She owes income taxes regardless. He just fucked her over by not letting her know he wasn’t withholding. This page has some good info from the irs https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/worker-classification-101-employee-or-independent-contractor
  12. I’d take a look at the specialized or the red line. The Specialized has flat bars and you may like those more than drop bars, especially if you’re just looking to tool around. The redline is a cross bike so you’ll be able to get a little bit rowdy on it if you want. Both will be able to fit wider tires than the first bike you posted, which is a good thing.
  13. Houston got out Houston’d.
  14. Muscles get stronger faster than ligaments. And since you’re new(ish) to working out, your muscles are building strength that your tendons and ligaments may not be ready for, which could increase the risk of injury. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to add some variety to your workouts. Isometrics and static holds, work your muscles in a different way and build your ligaments and tendons. Bodyweight exercises and calisthenics develop balance, body control and overall proprioception (awareness of your body in space) This will keep you in the gym while letting the rest of your body adapt and catch up to the gains your muscles are making. As middle aged men there’s a lot more facets to strength than lifting weights in the gym. Building balance, body control and proprioception allows our bodies to incorporate our strength and muscular gains into a literal armor that will protect us as we age. Good luck and keep on keeping on!
  15. And Cossack squats and one legged glute bridge
  16. You ain’t seen nothing til you’ve seen a cat at HEB.
  17. The best way to figure out what works for you is to start working out and seeing what you like and works for you. Good luck!
  18. Are they effectively tying up their resources while setting the NIL floor for other programs to beat/match?
  19. When you pull up behind someone in the left lane (4 lane road) at a red light and no left turn lane, and they wait for the light to turn green to turn on their left turn blinker.
  20. I imagine players are ok with being coached hard if they’re winning; if they’re not winning the coach is just an asshole.
  21. Beard wasn’t a surprise. He went to UT, and everyone knew he was our top target.
  22. Are you stupid or something? Or is this another surly failed attempt at humor?
  23. Fuck yeah for you! Everybody’s body is different, so find what works for you. And we’re all coming from different places when we’re passing along advice and are biased towards what works for us. For reference, I’m pushing 50 and have never been out of shape. And I’ve always favored consistency (over decades) over max effort. Consistency means avoiding injuries and dragging your ass to the gym (or whatever workout) when you don’t want to, knowing a half ass workout is infinitely better than a no ass workout. Also, as you continue your fitness journey, mix it up and try new things (kettlebells, calisthenics, steel mace, body weight exercises, rings, static holds, running, swimming, cycling etc) That helps avoid injuries and burnout and gives us differing modalities to lean on as our bodies change over the next 30 plus years. Good luck and keep it up!
