  1. I'll tell you one thing, this board is dragging the numbers down
  2. Yeah, I remember my dad saying everyone was protesting back in the 70s when it went from 4 to 12 dollars a credit hour. Where did the school administrations fall on this issue? Were they in favor of setting their own rates?
  3. is it fair to say that this same thing happened everywhere in the country as an explanation to why costs have gone up nationwide?
  4. What changed in 2003 that cut gov't funding? I haven't heard about that, looking to read up on it
  5. It was the coldest January in Austin in 17 years
  6. Do we really want to have as broad of an appeal as possible? Then we'd just become reddit-lite, which is about the last thing I would want this place to be. I don't want to read what 18-24 year olds think, their opinions suck.

    2024 NFL DRAFT

    He made him hop like a frog
  8. the glory days of the internet are dead and gone
  9. I work for an emergency comms company so I am deeply familiar with this world. If you are looking to send to just a handful of folks and only via text, something basic like text-em-all is probably all you really need.
  10. Some decently heavy stuff right where it’s been needed most (Boerne to Burnet)
  11. might've just been concussed...
  12. Honestly, I thought the defense played pretty well at first glance. There were no coverage busts and hardly any soft coverage giving up easy 10 yard outs. The deep shots were all absolute dimes by an NFL starter level QB. We generated decent pressure I thought as well. Against any other QB that doesn't have the elite pocket presence and quick release that Penix has, we would've had half a dozen sacks. Maybe I'm being too soft on PK, but I think this was a case of solid defense being beat by elite offense.
  13. yeah my thoughts as well. Have we ever seen him throw a ball with the speed and trajectory as Penix's 2nd quarter dart between the safeties? I have never seen him throw a fastball. It's weird that he can comfortably throw it 60+ yards but also not appear to be able (or at least never tries) to throw a frozen rope. Might be his low throwing mechanics.
  14. Renewables and batteries have improved greatly, as well I do suppose
  15. What technological breakthrough has there been in the past twenty years that has markedly improved daily life? I’m sure there are medical treatments that have gotten much better, but otherwise I struggle to think of any. Is my life really better by having the internet in my hands at all times, leaving me with the attention span of a goldfish? Social media we know conclusively is bad for society. Has data analytics done anything except reduce everything I like into a number and taking away any human touch? Will machine learning/AI do anything but allow companies to do things more efficiently at the expense of human interaction? I find myself slowly turning into Ted Kaczynski, minus the whole sending bombs in the mail part. The galling part is that I work in software…oh well it pays the bills.
  16. what does a 75 bps cut translate to for avg 30 year rate?
