  1. It’s not so much about the gates. It’s about which flights need customs and immigration and which ones don’t. A flight arriving from a domestic city can divert to any other airport and easily receive services, fuel, dispatch paperwork, employees to help deplane etc… They can let passengers off that airport to rebook them on other flights through other cities, etc. An international flight cannot land just at any airport and have those services or employees available. They can divert fairly easily into Houston or Dallas, but they sure don’t have as many options as a domestic airline have with service in every city in Texas. They become a bit of a bigger priority since they have fewer options. You've got crew rest legalities as well, a crew that originated overseas but diverted to a different airport may or may not be legal to takeoff again to make it to the original destination. Looks like the airport is open now and accepting arrivals. Both flights coming from Heathrow today are showing 30 and 45 minutes delayed for this afternoon.
  2. I don’t know what flight you’re on brisket, but it has a better chance than the domestics of getting into Austin when the airport opens. Diverting domestic traffic in smaller planes is not nearly as big a pain in the ass as diverting a big wide body that’s already been in the air that long and that requires customs and immigration. They will open the airport with limited number of slots and I bet the international traffic gets the first slots.
  3. The closest one to you.
  4. We lost to Kansas 4 games ago. If we beat Alabama we should rush the field, rape the band, cancel school, and mount a statue of Nick Saban getting butt fucked by Sark in the middle of Littlefield fountain. Maybe replace the Longhorn stickers on the helmets with a burnt orange silhouette of that statue.
  5. 38-35 Bama 300 yards for Ewers
  6. He didn't say that. You argue like a woman.
  7. Man I thought I was cynical. I’m sure the day will come when Quinn deserves some criticism but what were some of you expecting from his very first real action since his junior year of high school? “Not ready for Bama., etc…” Who the fuck would be with that level of experience?
  8. Radar looks to be clearing up. A shit ton of lightning in Madisonville to the northeast. That's a good 30 miles from CS and not moving that direction. Nearest lightning strike to CS in the last half hour appears to be 20 miles or so
  9. From the front porch in South Austin, having coffee while reading the other post that already started all this and trying to figure out which one is legit… TEXAS!
  10. I thought that was a fupa.
  11. That’s not how we do this thread. Fight!
  12. The Cellar Dweller is a good bar in Tulsa. That’s all I got.

    Horns Down

    Horns down is awesome. I wish every opposing player and fan did it all game long. Makes the victories that much sweeter. And if we lose… well then we deserved that shit anyway.
  14. Your example is apples and oranges. It’s pretty easy to identify and deal with someone physically handing out spam or harassing people. There should be no tolerance for that and it can be dealt with swiftly. Airdrop is different. It’s not traceable. You can’t isolate it. The simplest and most effective and instantaneous way of stopping it is in the hands of each person receiving it. If it’s the responsibility of the airline to stop it then the only solution is to kick every person off. Now we’ve not only fucked over the other 150 people on that flight but also the other 1000 or so that are scheduled on flights down the line from it.
  15. Think that makes it sound a little more significant of a problem than it really is. I leave mine set to receive from everyone. It comes in handy fairly often for me. I’ve never once received a bit of spam from it. Not even one time in many years of Apple usage. But if I did, I’d know that I have a pretty simple solution to stop it.
  16. If someone is airdropping you pics it’s because you have explicitly and purposefully set your phone up to allow them to. Not an issue at all that any employee ought to be injecting themselves into, IMHO. Any complaints about that should be met with a polite suggestion to adjust your phone settings to something more appropriate. No need to escalate that drama. Just my $.02
  17. Golf is fucking stupid.
  18. I use bleach most of the time. I go out of town for two or three days a week and I run the tabs while I’m gone. Then back to bleach when I get home. It’s only been one summer but so far CYA has varied from 60-80. I think I’ve had to add acid twice in the last 3 months. That’s it on chemicals so far.
  19. Everybody pays a different price for the airline ticket for sure, but it’s all based on algorithms that are looking pretty deep at historical data on supply and demand. It’s not somebody looking at a human being and deciding they look like a sucker while the next guy doesn’t.
  20. When I read “Why Putin’s henchmen are dying for the debut…” I took it in a whole different context.
  21. That TikTok blows my mind. The newest car I’ve ever owned in my life is a 2006. Bought it new then and it still runs fine so there’s no reason I shouldn’t still have it today. I like nice cars and I occasionally get a little envious in a friend’s new ride. But a car payment is WAY down the list behind a lot of other financial priorities. Even after meeting the most of my financial goals, at this point it’s almost like a badge of honor to have one car at about 300,000 miles and another at 260,000 miles. I’m due for a new one soon because my youngest will start driving in about a year. If it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t be looking.
  22. If they lived in my neighborhood I’d consider stealing their yard and placing it on top of mine right about now.
  23. I don’t really know the difference between Chad and Trey. They both sounded the same to me and I am equally annoyed by both of them. At no time during the show could I tell you which one is which.
  24. Selling shirts for one specific game that isn’t a bowl game or a championship of any kind seems a little aggy.
