  1. I'm going to need some Phenergan if they keep showing that ump cam.
  2. I swear many 6A Texas baseball players would put more bats on balls tonight. Maybe not reach base but at least we would hear the sound of metal hitting something.
  3. This. Lot of pressure on your pitcher when your offense looks like 12 yo little league.
  4. It was obvious early in the season. The offensive, at the plate, coaching is seriously lacking. My hope was this was remedied as I missed watching a lot of the last half of the season and the Horns waked in with a top seed. Obviously there are some serious deficiencies being exposed.
  5. Fantastic format and stories. And once again, Texas as the trendsetter for the nation.
  6. It’s at the south end of a lake not even in the same county as Waco. It would take an hour and a half to get to that part of the lake from Waco. I’ll make sure I blame all the wacky crap in Dallas on Fort Worth.
  7. There's a seedy underbelly to every community if you look hard enough. Waco's is people who pay lip service to piety but live a life not becoming of their church credentials. There is also old Waco money that thinks it competes with the big towns and a few families who hold dearly to their family's control of the city politics and socioeconomic divide. For those who just want to live a peaceful life, people of all skin tones live together without pretense in Waco. Either you are a psychic empath or you brought prejudice into your visit to Waco, but I don't believe people can judge a city based on a "vibe".
  8. Waco certainly won't be an Austin but on the plus side, it's still maintains a cheaper cost of living than Texas' major metro areas. Lot of semi-retired, retired and tele workers moving in due to the cost, low congestion and proximity to the major metro areas. This includes a lot of people from California cuz Chip and Jo. Real estate has the same frenzy as much of the state with houses going off market same day with multiple cash offers. These include homes well over 500K. There is definitely young and more progressive leadership at the city level that is helping to drive innovation even if they drag the Waco blue hair racist crowd into the 21st century. There has been a flurry of new industrial and some higher tech facilities choosing Waco as an expansion area. At some point, new residents will reach a critical mass of the population that overcomes the Baylor insular, don't change my Waco, bubble people that have controlled the old money Waco. Those people have left Waco stagnant for decades. And if Waco can keep from hosting some type of mass shooting event for more than a decade, then there are ingredients for Waco to be a successful small to mid-size metro area.
  9. Passed through a few Hill Country small towns this past weekend and the major manufacturer dealer lots were scary empty. Like 5-10 cars on the lot. Not sure how they will survive unless they are turning out multiple cars per day that don't really stay on the lot. As for the used market, I sold off a 20 month old car with 12K miles for about 92% of my purchase price minus some TTL and that wasn't a ton since I had a decent value on a trade at purchase. I possibly could have waited another 6 months at least and still had low depreciation according to the car Nostradamuses online. I have a older Lexus purchased 8 months ago as a more off road vehicle. I could probably profit about 4K on the private market now but then I would have no vehicle.
  10. Trying to get a pulse on a trend among the under 30's with raising money for frivolous things they should be funding with part time work or their own family's funds. I have come across a few signs with Venmo accounts listed on the backs of cars or vans with people asking complete strangers to fund their "trip across the country" and now I have seen a few groups of high school or near college graduates social posting GoFundMe campaigns for the "trip of a lifetime" or whatever BS they want to do with other people's money. Is this a common thing now? It's literally begging from complete strangers or distant acquaintances for superfluous crap. I was used to funding a college kid's summer trip to dig wells in Africa or teach English in Central America but funding self indulgence why I work my ass off this summer after being buried in Covid for a year is mind bottling. Now get off my lawn. Cases in point - https://didyouknowfacts.com/21-dumb-schemes-people-actually-made-money/
  11. Apparently this leader took the "Unlimited" part the wrong way.
  12. I spell it Fouhhhchee so I can pronunciate it good.
  13. Nobody has a real Bronco yet. Ford and their suppliers have messed up the production but are finally getting it going. Maybe some out by end of month but most first reservations will be delivered starting July with full production slated for late August. Many orders are being pushed to 2022 MY. Some people dumping their reservations and going with something else. It looks like a great SUV if you can get one. People are going to turn those first few thousand for a profit like the C8 Corvettes. You can get a baby Bronco (off road Escape) which actually has some off road chops but looks like something you buy your teenage daughter to look cool cruising in the high school parking lot.
  14. Escort the offender down to player walk way and have them attempt to do the spitting or throwing on level ground with the player standing there, no security between them. Defecation of pants will ensue. Post video of said offender with crap pants begging for his life to all social media accounts.
  15. Agree. I actually like the Hilux and have driven them over pretty rough terrain in Central America. It’s a very economical practical tough as nails truck. Not quite the Ridgeline vibe but not a “full size” man’s truck either.
  16. Did they catch the guy while he was flossing his teeth or maybe with a lure?
  17. Lulz. It really is a "practical" urban "truck" but in my own prejudice when I imagine the Ridgeline buyer....
  18. Ridgeline is 90% of what people looking for a “truck” need. It’s also a truck only 10% of those people will buy for many reasons including the inability to make it into a bro-dozer.
