  1. The racing gods really did not want Graham Rahal to race in this thing.
  2. You do need a beefy computer for big maps in Civ6.
  3. The guys looking for their friends give you more than one seed at a time I think.
  4. If you haven't tried it yet, if you fuse a bat eyeball to an arrow it becomes a self seeking homing missile.
  5. Never thought map nostalgia would ruin a funny picture thread
  6. Why bother with GameStop? I was in and out of a Walmart in 10 minutes with the game. No lines, no preorder BS. I haven't played it yet but my daughter is past the initial area and seems to really be enjoying it.
  7. It's getting more and more likely I'll need to investigate a move to another state. It's just so expensive to not only move anywhere long distance, but to then get recertified in a new state. And I don't know that I would want to try that without a job already lined up, but it's hard to line up a job if you haven't done the certification yet. Plus all the years I've already invested into retirement in Texas, assuming TRS even survives long enough for me to use it. Just feels like there are no good options. On the bright side, at least the most extremist school board candidates in my town all lost their elections, so that's good.
  8. What's the three I with stars thing. I'm not familiar
  9. I think around half my school has been checked out and gone home. Panic over social media rumors. I hate snap chat
  10. Frisco ISD had social media threats of violence today and are excusing any absences but still holding school. My school in Plano is near the border with Frisco and I already have multiple parents emailing that they would keep their kids home today. Supposed to give the STAAR math test tomorrow so I'm sure that will go swimmingly.
  11. The pickup truck on that dash cam noped out of there in a hurry
  12. A toasted unfrosted strawberry pop tart with a little butter spread on top while it's still hot is fantastic
  13. Monday of this week a freshman shot himself with a gun in the hall of a Texas high school. Wednesday he finally died. In the 90s that kind of thing made Pearl Jam write a song about you. Today it barely made the local news a few towns away, and hardly anyone farther than 50 miles away heard about it.
  14. We do. Financial literacy was added to math curriculum years ago. In every middle school grade and most of the high school courses. Interest, how loans work, budgeting, it's all required and is tested on STAAR. I teach 7th grade math. It's been part of required curriculum my entire career. There are also required health courses as part of diploma requirements for your other items listed.
  15. That was an ok race, but dull. O'Ward made a bit of a mess of things, and then IndyCar made a bit of a mess restarting a safety car putting the leaders right into some back markers. That was weird.
  16. BotW was also made to be played on WiiU as well. This game should look and run better made 100% for Switch and 6 years of optimizing.
  17. I never bothered with high school reunions. My senior class had 1400 students. You never knew or met most of them while you were there, you certainly aren't going to remember anybody 20 years later.
  18. Rehashing the same story from the books is a horrible idea. From movie 3 and beyond the films did that story already and did it very well. Maybe a HP show will improve upon the first two movies and then get canceled. That's the best case scenario.
  19. Once again, you folks are arguing with religious zealots. The gun is their god. You don't have rational policy debates with zealots.
  20. Jane Bexley sure has a theme. Write what you know I suppose
  21. Unfortunately it won't matter. Everyone can say in a poll they hate him. But he will get reelected because his name will have the R next to it. Someone named Gay Satan would win as long as they have the R.
  22. Eh, not really. Even on highest difficulty the AI doesn't really coordinate to stop you. The best they do is stop trading with you and stop renewing alliances when you get close to a victory. Mostly the difficulty slider changed the AI's head start and bonus multipliers on yields. It doesn't improve their logic at all
  23. It's like a child, when told to share their toy, stomps home and stops playing altogether. It must be their way or no way. They are children.

    Kayaking

    So I recently purchased a couple of kayaks that I'll be taking around when we go camping at various state parks. Anyone recommend a good online resource or message board that makes it easier to find information about places to kayak? Specifically with reviews about the best boat ramps to go to on various lakes that are kayak friendly. Or paddling trails on rivers that have info about where to launch, etc? I'm in Plano, so looking at lakes Lavon, Ray Hubbard, Lewisville of course but also smaller city park ponds or lakes that allow kayaks would be cool too. Googling brings up all sorts of boat ramps but I don't want to be in anyone's way and don't want to fight the big boats for space when I'm trying to carry two kayaks and a bag of snacks or drinks with my daughter.
