Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
horn4life replied to Machinator's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Almost exactly what those fucking dumbasses did with coaching raises and extensions. Not a surprise they overextended themselves because they did not fucking understand the game. That is sort of Aggieness in a nutshell isn't it? -
One more for the good guys. Sort of funny for me the last few days, I assume no fucking way another stud (LIKE BILLY WALTON!!!!!) is wanting to ride along. And mofo, another welcome mat rolled out! Welcome aboard Billy! Gotta be fun as a young man coming together with a bunch of other like minded young men, trying to rebuild a brand that is second to none. Got to be exciting! Hook'em!

Just be the cool guy and tape the game and run it off your phone. That's one of the things I must admit I do like about my Direct TV streaming package. I can watch live or from tape. Don't think I can cast tape off phone.

January 6th Committee Hearings Thread of Dominance
horn4life replied to Longhorn_Fan68's topic in Cloak Room
The only thing the January 6th Bi-Partisan Select Committee can do is present a case to the public. There is about 40% of the voting public that is gullible as shit and couldn't pass a freshman ethics or logic class if their lives depended on it. These Republicans are unreachable, because they PREFER to believe lies than ever take a second seeking the truth. So what the Committee is trying to do is show more the depth and breadth of the coup. Show how not only was Trump as corrupt as everyone (even his supporters) know him to be. The use of the mechanizations of government corrupted from the top, are what the show is. Interestingly I think that in a closely divided nation you are more likely than not to look at this point in time and see an irreparable shift away from the Republican party by young people. It's possible that inflation can carry the GOP as politicos would expect. While that is still the most likely scenario there is another scenario playing itself. Freedom loving Americans, (not the fake ME Freedom flag waving fakes) will recognize the dangers that the GOP poses. IF you are a woman and you see your individual rights being taken away, and also seeing the corruption so fulling integrated into the national Republican party via these hearings, are you gonna vote for Trump and Co? Even if gas is high as shit? I don't think so. But most importantly what right now does the Republican party have that appeals to young people that don't have a predisposition towards bigotry and racism, or simply voting trust fund wallet purely. What's the draw? Old white men? The Committee will show more of the clear and present danger and corruption Trump and all his minions were and are to democracy. The only folks that may be influenced are the thinking public. So that leaves out about the 40% of the voting population that are part of a cult based on never ending lies and rationalizations. Young kids can see this shit. So the GOP may indeed win the mid-term, but I think that the GOP is corrupt, is a message that will ring factually true to probably the other 60% of the non-cult member voting public. I also think it's good to pop something out for the long weekend. I guess the other reason I like the committee, is that at least they are trying to let the public know the truth. -
The reason you know that being against abortion is NOT pro-child, it is about judgement, and puritanical christian values having priority. Again NOT the child. IF ithe Republican party as a whole gave a damn about children ALL the statistical information you can find on the internet would not point to THE EXACT FUCKING OPPOSITE! They love abortion as a political issue, but car simply do not care about the children in their care. When you look at the overlay for zero tolerance for abortion you see complete acceptance of all sorts of other conditions for children that simply show they don't really care. If Republicans did care there would not be kids in the foster system as all the loving pro-lifers would be scooping up these loving souls. Wouldn't they? Here are a few maps showing how much Republican led states care about their children. The worst states to be a kid in America And in case you were wondering about the head count on the unadopted but supposedly loved and sacred by millions upon millions of Republicans?

We basically have had a 200 year game of Monopoly with the Supreme Court. Then the Republicans changed the rules on "principle" not once but twice to stack the court. Minority views are going to rule the United States for a long time, unless folks wake up and realize how fundamentally dangerous the Republican party is to personal freedom of everyone except AR carrying mass murderers. The only way to fix the court is to expand it, because it is already packed.

Honestly. If I really wanted to hit the road full time, I think the Super C's are the bomb. Big lift for off road clearance, and the potential for a big enough foot print, to truly be comfortable. Then pull a nice 4x4 behind it. IF I were going to build from scratch I would be looking at aluminum studs to frame it out and save al the weight I could. I guess you could do it like a boat and fiberglass the exterior? I have thought about doing this. Simply as folks geek so hard for the Airstreams. I have a buddy with a large warehouse that is a clutter magnet, and I am trying to get him to let me help him, put up some pallet racking and get shit off the floor. THEN and airstream would fit inside and I would have a clean dry place to work on one all winter. I guess the real money is finding the rig, learning the tricks, then sell it and do it again. Hmmm.... I wondered if you could use some of the Real Estate investing advantages like a 1031 exchange to avoid capital gains, and it looks like you can as long as you go RV for RV. Seems like you have to rent it out though to use the exchange. Anyhow, Once you have done one Airstream probably easy to do a second one. Are you ready for you Airstream Rental Fleet? 😉

January 6th Committee Hearings Thread of Dominance
horn4life replied to Longhorn_Fan68's topic in Cloak Room
This is simply Trump trying to set up his defense. I am such a fucking moron that no many how many people told me the truth, or showed me the clear evidence that I lost the election, I "still believed" I won. Trump is simply trying to say that "I have no culpability" as I am so mentally unbalanced that I never, ever believe the truth. Because I believe I won, and that's that! He isn't saying he didn't lose. If you look closely, he is saying he "always believed" he won, despite no evidence at all that he won, and it wasn't even close. -
January 6th Committee Hearings Thread of Dominance
horn4life replied to Longhorn_Fan68's topic in Cloak Room
Just went to the Fox News website. No mention at all anywhere on the site about the January 6th Committee. Too bad Newt Gingrich was such a scumbag that he spearheaded allowing foreign ownership of broadcast TV stations. Before then foreign ownership was prohibited. Now we have a foreign controlled (yes I know they became US citizens strictly for tax purposes) that caters to lying to the right wing for money. Not one fucking mention at all. Imagine going through your life terrified of the Truth creeping in? Must suck to be Republican. Voting alongside Nazi's, White Nationalists, Proud Boys, as well as a rich assortment of bigots, garden variety white trash racists, and traitors would bother a lot of folks.- 4760 replies

Something about the Texans being last, just rubs me the wrong way...

So the Governor, and all of law enforcement, is gonna simply hide behind the stack of a dead elementary school children and refuse to allow the parents of dead children, and citizens who pay their salaries the truth? Funny how the fucks that continually give lip service to personal accountability and responsibility, refuse to even allow the truth to be known, for fear of taking any fucking responsibility. What fucking cowards.

Hell all Manning need do is win. No amount of manager "brand building" on instagram can add up to the brand building of getting Texas "back." There will be a tsunami of positive publicity, and an indelible brand will be built. All it takes is winning. Typing shit on insta, is just some sort of foreplay. -
NO! They actively look away! Then retrench in ideals they do not believe in at all. Like using tax dollars for the treatment of mental illness. Much better to live in a pretend world where you can find kooky "news" to support whatever your non-fact based viewpoint is. Hopes and prayers, and run out the clock. Rinse, wash, repeat.
-
All you need to know about Republicans and gun facts, is they PROHIBIT the use of federal dollars to even STUDY gun violence. No studies, no facts! So Abbott and company are hiding and there are a stack of dead children whose parents want answers. Usually the tell a huge fucking lie strategy works for the GOP. THey tried that at Uvalde, did the usual allocation of blame to anyone but law enforcement, and now obfuscating any factual information past inaccurate press conferences weeks ago? Good new is Senator John Cornyn "got tired" of negotiating, predictably. Why is it the party that always preaches personal responsibility, is always dead set again ever stepping up and taking any?
-
I actually used the think that Cornyn was actually one of the lesser evils. When it was him and Dewhurst, then Lyin' Ted comes in riding the lies of the Tea Party and since that seat went even more extreme, Cornyn still is one of the lesser evils. HE like nearly every federally elected Republican has proven themselves to be completely devoid of morals or patriotism. But I did have hope for him, as he did sort of seem principled at one point. When it comes to Sugar Mamas, nobody but nobody can hold a candle to Micheal McCaul. If you dug at all deep into that relationship you would realize that there are some serious blackmail vulnerabilities. Or at least that was the case a couple years ago.

IF Arch is smart, he should never start posting on twitter. He doesn't need more notoriety, he's gonna want more anonymity. -
January 6th Committee Hearings Thread of Dominance
horn4life replied to Longhorn_Fan68's topic in Cloak Room
I think it's important to look back at some of the key enablers like Mark Meadows, they were part of the tea party that rose to power on... you guessed it a LIE! You see Obama was going to have "death panels' where old folks would have their deaths decided by a government bureaucracy!!! (worked great for old white folks) Those folks came to power corruptly, no matter how many bible verses they slung around. Now there is a completely new wave of Republicans trying to ride a lie to power. Think every fucking non-incumbent running in the Republican Party on any federal ticket is a "Big Lie" supporter. But it's a lot more fucking dangerous at the State level where immediate power over elections, and a willingness to tell ANY LIE for power make is terrifying to me. The GOP is actively working to try and limit democracy in the United States.. only to races they win. -
Learn me on a car lease for my kid????
horn4life replied to horn4life's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
yeah... you do... but not as much! thanks for the replies. I probably should have clarified on the $8k and buying used cars. IF the used car market were such that I thought I could get a great deal I would for sure go that route. But she's 22 and after not caring so much about school in on her way in nursing. $5000 of the $8000 was offered by my dad just to bite the bullet, and get her a vehicle that I don't have to worry about. We travel more, and I am not always "up the road" to fix whatever might be going wrong. Plus she want to be a traveling nurse for a few years and this, and this car would be good for anywhere and it's safe. My 90 year old Dad T-boned an idiot and it probably saved his life, so he wanted to put some of the cash set aside for her into this car if she/I wanted. I do realize that I am setting her up for a couple extra years of likely payments. However, she's already got an externship at Austin Heart Hospital, and is gonna still work aa REI. She loves the perks. She has this Fall semester to become an RN, then will start the BSN program will be over for a month by this time 2024. She will make decent money as an RN as she gains work experience and the lower payment will be easy for her to cover at that point. In fact, she's so independent that I doubt I will make more than a payment or two a year if I go the lease route. I WILL get banged on the Insurance side, but not having to worry about her car breaking down while we are traveling, and knowing it's a safe car that will be worth more than she owes in 3 years seems worth it. We are really only out of pocket $3,000 and whatever the extra monthly nut is on the insurance. When I sell her car I will recover some of that small cost. ANYONE know about what might be typical of what your or I might think is "normal wear and tear" that might be viewed as excessive? I am just trying to think 3 years ahead when a possible lease return might happen. Having never returned a lease car I have no fucking idea. But don't want her to make the decision to return and find out there are $3,000 in charges for excessive wear that I would have thought were "normal wear and tear." Thanks again! -

anyone? -
Isn't really the only drawback that if in the sun the turf gets a lot hotter than grass? I did a ton of research on putting in some turn fields out at T&C years ago, as water was our biggest expense, and found that they actually throw off a lot of heat. The new products are better looking for sure, but doesn't plastic heat up more than organic matter? The good thing with the Dogs is durability. The bad thing is the temp of the surface for their pads 20-50% hotter. So if there is a lot of sun and the Dogs are outside a lot... "Surface temperatures of artificial grass are about 20-50° F higher than natural grass and typically reach the same temperature as asphalt pavement. The highest temperature measured during research was 200° F. Wow!" link

Basically want to get my daughter (no pics) a Subaru, and want to keep the payment low and flexibility high. I was going to just buy it, but I am thinking that 3 years from now, she might want something different. I will probably still buy the car with the option, but let's assume I am going to return her car, because that is where my questions lie, having never leased. My dad was actually the one who suggested it initially, after he leased a Subaru. My Daughter has been working at REI since she was 16 and Subarus are pretty popular with the REI crowd. What is extra cool is REI has an MSRP employee discount program, so she's getting about $1500 off MSRP at Austin Subaru. If you are looking to buy or lease yourself, my Dad bought in Georgetown. They were selling as MSRP whereas every other dealer was adding $1500. So my daughter's car is about $3K less than a normal customer buying from Austin Subaru. So what are the CONS of a lease return? Pros for me are low monthly payments, no sales tax, and flexibility with the option of returning the car if there is something else she wants once she is making some money. The math sort of goes like this $18K residual value on $29.5K car, with $8K down. Payment would be low $200's for 36 months, which is easily manageable for her most months and no problem to cover is she every runs short on cash. Versus with tax a purchase would be like $390 over $60 months, which I would be fine with and I would split the note with for the next two years until she graduates with her nursing Degree. Not paying the $1900 up front in sales tax is like 9 months of lease payments, so the lease option is attractive. Since she is buying basically $3k or 10% under market value (discount + extra dealer markup) I figure the lease return price should not be underwater with the $8K down. My Dad said the Finance Guy will ask you about wheel insurance and whatnot. The kid has a big ass Golden Retriever that is going to likely do some damage to the interior or scuff the plastic door trim. Seat covers should protect the upholstery. I know that the lease covers "normal wear and tear" but WTF does that mean? If I have any rash on the aluminum wheel is that $500 to replace it? Scratches on interior door panel? Just not sure what the potential liabilities might lie if we for some unlikely reason did decide to return the lease rather than buy it. Just want to know how the car dealer is gonna try to screw me in the end? Or is my basic distrust of car dealers and salesmen making me worry too much on the back end? Thanks in advance folks!

With penalties and interest, this is gonna sting... It's possible you might be able to negotiate a reduction of penalties.

I guaran-fucking-tee, that the only thing Donald Trump thought after hearing the growing newly admitted child count was "Stupid n-word, give the bitch money, and get the damn abortion!"
