  1. A different Charlie Rose interview than what was posted a bit upstream. NSIAP, as I looked
  2. Thank you, @EE2B ... I will call American Leak Detectors. They have been recommended by several plumbers and sites.
  3. I will try this. I checked all toilets by cutting off the water at the wall, however I could have a faulty valve.
  4. Steeler offensive idiocy is the perfect match for Dallas defensive incompetence
  5. @Gil Bang - checked that a couple of hours ago. Looks like water flow continued after I shut off the hot water before the heater. Sigh. Thanks!
  6. The new CoA Utilities digital/wifi meters have been useful - they found that I am constantly consuming around 4 gallons per hour of water. I have 3 shutoffs: (1) main at street (2) irrigation system and (3) home interior inside my garage. Shutting (2) had no effect. Shutting (3) - and having now water in house - stopped the meter. Tried turning on/off every fixture in house to no avail. There are no signs of water anywhere in the house. Nothing bubbling up under ground level floors. Nothing coming through walls. Nothing coming through ceilings. I manually refill my pool, so that is not the culprit. My conclusion is that I have a foundation leak and that the water is being "consumed" under the house. Questions: 1 - any recommendations on who I should call? 2 - am I forgetting to check anything? 3 - what would you do?
  7. Looks like Vandy hired the correct Tim Beck as OC.
  8. I know it was already posted. Not sorry. Just a sublime interpretation of a timeless song by 4 greats. RIP KK.
  9. Casey Cain with a TD for UNLV
  10. I sure hope they are paying Sam Elliott transcendent money to be on set with Gronkowski. Those commercials are brutal.
  11. A Brockermeyer sighting. F the Brox. in the spirit
  12. TCU looks shitty. Good.
  13. Winner gets a Kia. 2nd place gets 2 Kias.
  14. Purdue's pass blocking has been pretty horrible, no doubt. That said, neither Card nor OC Graham Harrell have done much to help. Card holds the ball too long. Plays take too long to develop. Card tries to spin out of a collapsing pocket and (most of the time) gets sacked. I am not sure how the PFF pass blocking grades are calculated, but I suspect they look a little better if the QB gets rid of the ball in 1-2 seconds. If they QB gets the ball out that quick, there really is limited possible breakdown in OL pass blocking. You are fortunate that you only had to look at the stats after the fact. I got to see them in the making for both UND and Nebraka @ Purdue. The weather was great, though!
  15. this is idiotic. I saw the Hudson Card experience. In person. It was top-10 in NOTHING. Except suckery. And this is coming from a person who wants HC to succeed. At no point during that game (or the game against UND) did I believe Card was going to bail out the Boilers. Quite the opposite, in fact...
  16. This is akin to combining the worst traits of Strong with the worst traits of Herman and giving them infinite resources. The NFL and the Cowboys get what they deserve.
  17. Google Fiber finally made it to my part of NW Austin. I would pay just about whatever they were asking (for a period of time) just to be able to cancel Austin Cablevision, Time Warner, Spectrum, or whatever the hell it is called today. 1G up and 1G down for less than what I am paying for Spectrum 200MB, sign me up. And, "No, Spectrum. I do not want your special rate. You had that chance when GF entered the market and ignored me."
  18. According to Google Searches, Cooper is an energy trader with around $13mm in net worth. Archie (grandpa): $10mm. Eli: $160mm. Peyton: $300mm. Arch's dad is not poor, and Arch himself is making (at least) a living wage at Texas. Money will not motivate him to leave early.
  19. He gets you a 3 or 4 if you are trading him TO Dallas, not FROM Dallas.
  20. I was going to joke, "Imagine how much better he'd be if Bo Davis were still around." This is great to see for Broughton. And I agree that Baker looks like a very good hire. The snippets of his coaching that have been made public show that he knows how to coach technique, etc. From what little I know of DLine coaching
  21. Agree w/ your latter statement. Purdue/NU in WL were slow enough and low skilled enough that most officials - even bad ones - should be able to keep up
  22. have another drink
  23. Yes. Scored too quickly.
  24. wow.
