  1. I mean yeah, but i still watch longhorn football and occasionally buy merch.
  2. we need to get to a point where people fly like in the movie 5th Element, but take it a step further. Upon entering the airport, you present yourself and your ticket then are promptly gassed unconscious. Then taken into a small tube in the aircraft and stowed. airplane flies w/o issue and you are revived at your destination. no more dustups between passengers, FA. no more dickhead behavior on board. no more eating onions and fish during the flight. just cargo with a heartbeat moving from point A to point B. We lost the right to have nice things a long time ago.
  3. i mean, i cannot disagree with the sentiment due to all the airline fuckery that has been going on lately.
  4. damn, errrbody getting the covid. wife and i (full vax) have had it twice. once in late Jan and the other early July. Seems like omicron both times (still had smell/taste). 2nd time was a breeze and just felt off for a few days and back to normal after a week. First time was way more aching and lots of brain fog. daughter had a fever for 3 days but felt fine after getting an NSAID. she was under 12 at the time of her vax so did not receive the full adult dose. son has not been cornered by Covid yet per the home tests at least.
  5. well duh, but that leaves like 26 minutes still unaccounted for
  6. https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/mavericks/2022/07/21/luka-doncic-hooked-shaquille-oneal-up-with-a-mansion-during-european-visit/ very cool! Shaq better give Luka more love on TNT next season.
  7. kindof a cool moment. boy is now 14 and for the first time we went to the gym and ran the court for a few games of pick up ball together. i would still whoop his ass in 1v1 but as i am pushing 50 it is inevitable that he will take me down at some point. but i am 6'7'' 230 and have a few inches and 100 lbs on him these seem like the golden years right now. Daughter at 12 is still in this great phase of telling us she loves us all the time and has not turned into a teen beast as of yet. son is very chill and not really pushing boundaries. The pandemic locking us in with each other has no doubt changed the dynamic some and i think we may be better for it. brother and sister have become really close and even though there is the typical surface back and forth, they like hanging out together for the most part.
  8. what happened to 'merica first? why are these GQP mouthbreathers worshiping a foreign wannabe autocrat? i mean besides the fact that he says the silent parts out loud
  9. hypothetical...if Riley Cooper were still playing and got a ring with the Rams, could he get the 'End Racism' removed from end zone? or there like another charge for a new mold or something?
  10. every week submit travel requests for your team to fly in and 'collaborate' in the office. then post on redit malicious compliance thread.
  11. yep, i find it hard to believe that Brinks SOP would allow that both guards leave sight of the truck at the same time. da fuq are they doing in the Flying J for 27 minutes? new high score for Galaga?
  12. I was going to keep the discussion going on this (Psalms basically implies that God is cool with 'crafting' horrific unviable fetuses and Jeremiah is really talking pre-conception and God has a plan for the unconceived) but why bother . @Biff Tannen nailed it saying they just want a theocracy with White Jesus riding shotgun.
  13. is there anything definitive in the bible for the zealots to cling to when declaring they are pro fetus? a little googling turns up this passage, which seems to indicate that a fetus is not in the same category of offense to warrant an 'eye for an eye' type justice. but then again, later on in the chapter, you would only be out 30 shekels if your bull gores a slave (male or female: equality holla!) so the Bible really codifies the whole sanctity of life am i right? religion is the fucking worst and the choose your own adventure version is the absolute worst.
  14. lulz candidate of the summer This dude is pretty well known. He has like 50+ BAYC nfts. he was fucking around and getting cute by minting an ENS name "stop-doing-fake-bids-its-honestly-lame-my-guy.eth" - Then he put in a 'fake' 100 ETH bid on his own nft to be funny - Next he accepted a bid of 1.89 ETH (and went on twitter to brag about it) for the same nft but forgot to cancel his own 100 ETH bid. Even when nfts change hands, the bids on the blockchain stay there until canceled. - the buyer immediately accepted that 100 ETH bid and made a cool 98 ETH off of that dumbass
  15. where do work? asking for me so i can avoid their products or services for fear of catastrophic failure.
  16. bump damn, for the Dallas surly the Homebrew HQ closed down back in Sept 2021. I had just gone in a month prior to get supplies and finally checked back on it earlier this week. Looks like the only other brew stores in the area are in Cowtown. anyone been to those homebrew stores in the Ft worth area? I want to brew this weekend, but don't trust getting liquid yeast shipped to Texas right now in this heat. Google maps did show a new place that was slated to open in Plano in August.
  17. 54 backwards is 45. 45 = greatest prez evar. you gotta channel your inner Q a little bit, but the dots are all there!! wake up!
  18. haven't most biglaw firms already landed 1Ls for their summer programs? wife works for a top 50 amlaw firm in dallas and I think they have been doing stuff with summer associates for a while now this summer. I think they usually get a mix of 1Ls and 2Ls, but it's mostly 1Ls that they have identified they are going after for recruitment. does your relative want to litigate or not? my wife is in corporate law and never goes to court. She handles [american] murders and executions [/psycho] IPOs/spinoffs, IP acquisition/selling, crypto and stuff like that. works some with IP lawyers as her specialty is technology/media. Point is what she does is broad and not that specific. - It seems like their summer candidates go into sections like 'corporate' or 'bankruptcy' or 'litigation'. some firms separate out stuff like funds or combine corporate and bankruptcy, but i have never heard of a group for trademarks. that would seem to be a better fit for an in-house lawyer for company that gets sued a lot by patent/trademark trolls maybe? edit - just saw that she is getting into a summer program. That is the way to go for big law opportunities
  19. it's terrible that *anything* accurately accounting the history of our country and slavery's part in that is now labeled "woke CRT". I don't get why some run into a mental wall with the fact that the civil rights act did not, in fact, solve all the racial inequity in the country overnight in 1964.
  20. in that article i posted, Korg said they shot every Zeus scene with Crowe doing a Greek and then again in a British accent but Crowe kept pushing to use the Greek one.
  21. coinbase *should* be OK but there is always some risk with central exchanges. i have 95% of my coin trading amount on Coinbase and use it the most often. There has been a rash of incidents where a cex has frozen their users out from making withdrawals.
  22. thanks...my company did not need any productivity out of me today
