taylor hamm says "whaaaa?"

Nice memory. Strong’s first class. Not memorable years.

I can’t think of a single Longhorn from Jasper. Only guy I can think of that’s even close was Anthony Byerly from Newton back in the 80’s. Can anyone remind me if I’m forgetting someone?

I have over 60 of them and added more than thirty more of them but a little crushed gravel is apparently an issue.

okay, we've narrowed down what you really want to discuss...that one of your pet libertarian utopian enabling "disruptive technologies" cryptocurrency (like tax free gold bartering) is being purposefully stifled by established banks and the u.s. government. what specific action are you referring to? if anything, the crypto sector is not regulated enough as evidenced by the number of scams and unbelievably reckless behavior that has festered in the marketplace...$7.8 billion lost in 2022 alone. ftx, etc... and its failure in the marketplace is largely derived from its perception resulting from all the shenanigans. imo, the shitty market participants are largely to blame, not institutional burying of it through rent seeking. i can transact things in btc and can buy all of it i want in the marketplace if i want to.

i genuinely cannot tell if your question is a conversation starter regarding the government's role in fostering things that aren't economically rational in a commercial sense in their early development but have potentially substantial positive externalities...or if you are just using this as a springboard to bitch about regulation. as someone who is currently dealing with city bureaucracy just to i can finish some god damned fucking landscaping adjustments to my property, you are catching me in a particular anti-regulatory mood but if you are implying that letting the marketplace dictate the direction of major areas of critical society infrastructure without regulatory guardrails, you're acting like an insane person that just waves their hands when trains carrying toxic chemicals completely destroy entire towns in ohio or chemical plants in east houston explode or fedex and swa planes nearly collide on the runway at austin bergstrom because you didn't get directly affected. if you are asking more of the former, like most everything in life, it is a balance. is it possible to overreach, of course. if there are governmental mechanisms of exclusion from certain private parties pursuing a potentially disruptive technology are weaponized because of economic rent seeking behavior from established market participants (or others for whatever motivation) leveraging its power through the political process, that is super bad. but that doesn't mean that some upstart group of folks that are willing to deploy some experimental shit that is potentially dangerous to unsuspecting members of society (driving on i-35 next to a dipshit unwittingly beta testing his tesla's autopilot bullshit in traffic) should be able to operate with impunity or else that is also super bad.

for reference, my pix/vid on the previous page from u2 are row "18." (aka 6)

you're right on the edge. you won't be able to see all the way up but not completely shut out. people that unknowingly by 25 or higher in the 100s get there and are so pissed (rightfully). you can't see shit. i cannot imagine how fucking trippy that will be with phish stuff. there will be some freak outs.

good couple of hours for the safety room today...

what row?

Congratulations, Celery Man. Very happy for you. Hope all is going well so far...

watching usc games likely would not have aided your assessment of any individual player. I am fairly certain that usc did not force a single punt all year.

Hook’Em Horns! way to go volleyball. Fucking bitchslapped corn.

I think calling for an upset in which the team you picked is losing by 53 points in the third equals multiple losses.

This shit is not fair. Just run a continuous clock.

America’s favorite team gets a critical 3 today to create a little room from relegation given they have spurs and city in the next two.

very neat.

wish maalik the best and thank him for his efforts against houston, byu, and the first half of kstate. i predict he is going to be successful at his next stop.

huh, i guess since north shore just forfeited a bunch of championships and state title appearances, the chaps get to claim a few more bama style?

i guess you haven't checked in on twitter since september 2021 as well. blue check mark can be had by anyone for something like 9 bucks.

Hello EPL, we have decided to make you our own special project you fuckers.

What are the shenanigans? You’ve disappeared off the thread. Answer the fucking question you moron. I seriously hope Paxton suffers greatly for eternity. What an absolutely vile and contemptible piece of trash. He really represents the most awful part of this dumbass state.

weird little tidbit i just thought about...someone check me on this but my recollection is that since colt beat ohio state in the fiesta bowl for the 2008 season, texas has not played a bowl game against a team that was not from the sec or pac12. doesn't bode well for michigan in the semifinal.

Those are the sweet spot level. You’re golden.
