  1. don't most have mobile check in now? Stayed at Aria 2 weeks ago and you could use the app to check in and get your mobile key to unlock the door. There was a pretty big line when i rolled in, but was able to just go straight to my room. Went back later when there was no line to get physical keys 'cause it was annoying to keep pulling out my phone for the lackluster 'room-key-check-dude' to get to the elevators. Also, all the MGM property elevators would not go up with out scanning a room key. The phone app worked, but physical key was way easier.
  2. more of a CSB but on the flight to Birmingham Friday, we are all seated about to leave the gate and then 2 LEO with something like "drug overdose unit" on their shirts come storming down the aisle, but then returned empty handed a few minutes later. missed my chance at getting on a tiktok video i guess.
  3. Jooooooel Klatt, Joel Klatt will be great today. guaranteed kick to Bob's groin for aggy failure.
  4. wasn't there a poster that had a 'water retention' product or something? Am i making that up? think it was called hydretain or somesuch. I had hell keeping my backyard SA lawn healthy. put down Palisades Zoysia (aggy developed) and it has been great for my yard with varying level of shade/sun.
  5. just imagine, say aggy bites the bullet. > $100MM to change coaches. then plus whatever # they need to moneywhip the next guy. elko walking in "1 Jimbo special please, but I want 50% within 60 days". It's like trading in your underwater thrice-rolled over car loan to finance a used boat.
  6. i thinks it more that it is a quick easy thing to do But yeah, it does not bother me at all and when the Bama fans were throwing the horns down while walking around the quad before the game i commented that we already have them trained prior to joining the conf. Bonus points for being able to shake a pom pom and still do horns down.
  7. to be fair that last one with Klatt was all about CU and their win. Joel gives the horns a fair shake and definitely takes aggy to the woodshed just about every chance he gets.
  8. no idea, but might be seeing this guy in the future
  9. I have leased twice in my life. (many moons ago) My work had a car allowance and i had to get a certain type of car (no truck/SUV allowed at the time). So leased a sedan to get the payment close to the allowance. First lease term is up and I went to Carmax to get a quote and their buy price was above the residual/balloon payment so I went ahead and sold it Carmax and pocketed the difference. Saved me from having to buy new tires as well. Second time i shopped around, but it was cheaper to turn the lease in as the used value was lower than the residual. I would think it would be a no brainer to get financing at anything < 3% when your money can sit FDIC insured and earn 5%. If the rate dips at the bank, then pull the trigger and pay off the note. Cars are just crazy stupid expensive now.
  10. went to Vegas for weekend; it rained. Came back to Dallas on Sunday; it rained. i am available for hire.
  11. Just got back yesterday. Got to play golf in 80-85 degree weather on Friday (Bali Hai). Rain stopped about 15 minutes before our tee time. Think it rained a little later in the afternoon and again some on Saturday. Saturday was high of 83 I believe. Did not stop the pool parade at the Cosmo though.
  12. that's about the only thing 'make america like it was before civil rights again' does not want to mirror. 91% tax rate on the top bracket. lol it was 70% until 1982
  13. well, I mean, Trump still plays Village People songs at his rallies so...
  14. 10/10 and 10/12 draft order this season. accurate thread title is accurate. Thinking i will go WR/WR
  15. must be serious. not even asking for a friend
  16. yeah, granted twitter is more like an echo chamber, but the fact that most of the replies were not calling that account an effing idiot and were in fact nodding their heads is pretty pretty scary.
  17. i just don't want to end up with a theocracy running the USA. All these politicians citing God's will, God's laws, Bible this and that are fucking lunatics. All the initiatives to take money from public schools to give to these nutbags to fund religious schools is crazy. you want to increase your child's chance getting raped by a priest, do it on your own dime. you want your child to learn how to dehumanize people that are different from them because a few lines in the Bible say God is probably against that behavior, do it on your own dime. Now, if we had more Bible lessons on the prophet Elisha, who after getting insulted by 'youths' called him bald and then called down the wrath of God in the form of two she-bears who proceeded to rampage said youths and racked up an impressive 42 fatalities, then count me in. We don't see God's wrath in today's world. Only human's stupidly and cruelty trying to inflict pain on those they think God hates. Crazy. So this has turned me against basically all religion. I don't really care how great your church is. i hope it fails so religion can influence fewer people.
  18. errbody better get liquid. bully is coming. full send. #altseason #uponly. That Bored Ape suit seems laughable. You mean to tell me that celebrities 'feign interest for financial enrichment'? no effing way!?! The sales on platforms like opensea, blur, looksrare are even more crooked as buyers set up fake wallet after wallet to bid up a collection, start buying a few and then dump all their bags once there is even a smidgen of volume.
  19. thatsmyfetish.gif ? I just have a 2K Honda to run a few things if the grid goes down. Should probably get another one to run in parallel. I converted to to run on LP as I don't want to mess with keeping gas, rotating said gas, etc... bought a big ass propane tank (you can refill them at Uhaul rent centers) and keep a few of the smaller 20lb tanks around as well. I've run fridge, fans, TV/internet and some lamps.
  20. i hope no one watches anything the networks put out in the fall. if there are decent ratings it's the beginning of an Idiocracy TV lineup with Ow, My Balls up for 5 emmys in 2025.
  21. yeah, we had record sales/profits when we were 100% working from home due to covid. our business benefitted greatly from people getting covid bux from Uncle Sam. we had been working 2 home/3 office for a while and got the notice last week we are going to 1 home/4 office starting Q4ish and the 'excuse' was that profits are down so we need more 'collaboration'.
