  1. He ain’t upstanding after the crowbar attack.
  2. Why are they shoveling snow into the tractor instead of, you know, just using the tractor?
  3. If he has an offer to Yale he should go to Yale.
  4. It’s a real wonder how he got that big gut.
  5. I thought that too until I saw the smaller numbers on each piece.
  6. Heck, people are so desperate to live in three of those cities, they’re willing to live in giant hobo shantytowns to do it! Check and mate.
  7. Right, the parts of American where people want to live.
  8. If Musk's unauthorized biography isn't entitled "Going for Broke," someone should lose their job.
  9. That’s right! And in the opening scene, you hear Rand whisper “Gault,” just to find out at the end it was the name of his favorite toy locomotive.
  10. Good to see Edward Furlong’s keeping busy.
  11. And if you can’t trust the opinion page of the Wall Street Journal, who can you trust!?
  12. There are tons of cases. First, the problem would be that it's not a negligence case, it's a premises liability case. Negligence against a premises owner requires affirmative, contemporaneous conduct; premises liability is a nonfeasance theory based on the premises owner's failure to make the premises safe. See United Scaffolding, Inc. v. Levine, 537 S.W.3d 463, 471 (Tex. 2017); Del Lago Partners v. Smith, 307 S.W.3d 762, 776 (Tex. 2010). Under a premises liability theory, you'd have to show both that a condition of the premises posed an unreasonable risk of harm, and that Costco knew or should have known about the risk, and that Costco failed to make the condition reasonably safe. See United Supermarkets, LLC v. McIntire, 646 S.W.3d 800, 802 n.4 (Tex. 2022); Austin v. Kroger Tex., L.P., 465 S.W.3d 193, 203 (Tex. 2015). And before you start analyzing these standards, let me assure you that the Texas Supreme Court interprets them in a decidedly pro-company way.
  13. There was a nice coach from VCU in 2011 who got to the Final Four, which is more than can be said for RT. Hiring that guy was a disaster.
  14. Batting in baseball and cricket is completely different. Having played baseball growing up, just holding a cricket bat correctly was completely awkward. There’s also the fact that cricket bowlers have a lot of different spins that are really weird when they come off the ground. And that sometimes, your best bet is to block, rather than try to hit the ball.
  15. Without a doubt, San Juan and the rest of Puerto Rico are two very different things. Food-wise, if you want fancy, go to 1919, RAYA, or Sage. Bottega for tapas/wine bar. People rave about Marmalade but I wasn't impressed. Or drive inland to Bacoa, which despite being affordable is incredible. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20220215-is-americas-best-restaurant-in-puerto-rico
  16. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The BFG is next.
