  1. Go get your shinebox, our defense is fuckin ROLLING.
  2. Blue is getting embarrassed here. Dude has shitty ball security for the SEC
  3. YouTube TV multibox. This is the way. I'm watching aggy/pig OU/Auburn, and Wisky/USC along with the Texas game in a 4-pack
  4. If you have ESPN+ (I got it with my Disney/Hulu bundle) you can the stream halftime show in the ESPN app! It beat the shit outta talking heads lol
  5. I kind of love that they broadcast the halftime show on the ESPN app. Sucks that it's buried under the SEC+ part of the app, but whatever lol Hope Taffe is ok
  6. IMO, it's less the interest rates and more that builders more or less stopped after 2008 and haven't gotten anywhere close to the scale they used to build. Can't buy a house if there's not enough for sale to satisfy the rent seeking boomers getting their fourth rent house and new home buyers getting their first home
  7. damn those pilots poor airmanship for forcing Boeing to cut these procurement corners!
  8. Hope yall don't like deli meats https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boars-head-plants-nationwide-now-part-of-law-enforcement-investigation-usda-says/ Boar's Head processing plants nationwide are now part of an ongoing law enforcement investigation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture disclosed Thursday, in the wake of a deadly outbreak blamed on some of the company's now-recalled deli meats. At least 59 hospitalizations and 10 deaths have been linked to a listeria strain traced back to Boar's Head products distributed from a now-shuttered plant the company ran in Virginia. That Boar's Head plant in Virginia had been written up dozens of times by inspectors over violations, CBS News first reported in August, based on records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. Violations flagged at the plant by agriculture officials included mold and insects found throughout the site.
  9. An entity "holding a monopoly over labor" is shit like Jimmy John's forcing their minimum wage employees to sign noncompetes so they can force wages down by preventing employees from being able to find another job. Not employees collectively bargaining. Jesus Christ lol.
  10. Ah I didn't realize it was exclusively in the stolen regions of Ukraine, and yeah AFU has used starlink to guide drones in for attacks on orks in Ukraine. Sure, there's nuance, but I really cannot give the benefit of the doubt to elmo when he has been frequently anti-Ukraine and happily holds the door open for russian propaganda campaigns
  11. If a satellite dish is moving at 100mph+ overland russia towards Ukraine.... It shouldn't take you more than one guess what russia is doing with it
  12. Yall remember that attempt by the hays county trumpers to ram the Biden bus off the road? The “Trump Train” pickup truck driver who hit into a Biden-Harris volunteer’s vehicle behind the campaign’s bus on I-35 in Texas back in 2020 was the only one of several defendants found liable by a federal jury to the tune of $40,000 in a long-running Ku Klux Klan Act lawsuit. Much of the judge’s ruling denying summary judgment recounted Cisneros’ communications before the incident and in the aftermath, including during a deposition. The judge wrote that Cisneros “later described” that Cisneros described hitting the campaign volunteer’s car as “‘me slamming that f****r’ and ‘welcom[ing] him properly to Texas.'” The judge also said Cisneros boasted that he was “smart enough to get the entire Biden-Harris campaign cancelled in Texas,” called the driver of the staffer vehicle “Antifa, I’m more than sure,” that he testified at a deposition he “‘pushed [the staffer] back’ and agreed that he ‘hit him,’ and that t”here was evidence he once texted co-defendant Joeylynn Mesaros asking for a custom-made “don’t make me Rittenhouse your a–” T-shirt. Then, during a deposition, Cisneros cast himself as a savior of Texas, the judge added. “And even during his deposition, Cisneros reflected on the success of his plan: ‘So was it a success that I kind of saved Texas from people like that, that would quit in the smallest face of adversity? I would— I would want somebody a lot stronger than that. Somebody who won’t quit,'” Pitman wrote. The judge further said that Cisneros had just one month before the “Trump Train” incident made headlines for driving through a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters hoping to cause “a little bit of fear.” “Cisneros testified at his deposition that he drove into that crowd of protestors ‘just to make a statement,’ but when asked whether he knew if he put anybody in fear of being hit by his truck, he testified, ‘I hope so. I hope I instilled a little bit of fear, yeah,'” the previous ruling said. After the Black Lives Matter incident from September 2020, Cisneros reportedly said “I didn’t want to hurt anybody” and “You know, get off the street, get on the sidewalk and protest whatever you are protesting on the sidewalk. Stay safe.” I wonder what his surly handle is/was....
  13. Hell fucking yes he's guilty https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/court/2024/09/25/500980/gerald-goines-verdict-harding-street-raid-houston/
  14. The lawsuit (link to document cloud) has a picture in the court filing
  15. I wonder how much is gonna be like getting blood from a stone. The reporting is that the ship was probably NOT seaworthy in the first place and was riddled with shitty jury rigged fixes and cost cutting measures I think Maryland is about to take a bath on her bridge, because insurance companies are gonna fight to the death over this
  16. That's actually produced locally and usually within 100 miles or so of you. 100% American made, baby!
  17. Remember, people were calling out this market manipulation and profiteering on the cold dead bodies of Texans at the time, too. https://www.kut.org/energy-environment/2021-09-22/how-market-manipulation-might-have-worsened-the-texas-blackout The natural gas market "doesn't have any specific rules limiting people in their market activities,” she said. “If your market doesn't have any rules against withholding, people will withhold because it's profitable.” ... “Gas was such an important part of the failure and [gas suppliers] made such a profit,” sayid Michael Webber, professor of energy resources at the University of Texas at Austin. “A lot of us might look at and say that doesn't feel right, that the people who underperformed get rewarded.”
  18. Are the demands you're citing from an article, or from firsthand knowledge? What you're describing IS one hell of a reach for 600,000 employees, but that many employees wouldn't be voting to strike if they didn't feel that management was fucking them over. If the union is demanding a bad deal, then that's usually in response to bad/punitive management. It'll be interesting to see the facts around this as they get reported and confirmed
  19. The judgement was against Jones personally, so any business he has an interest in will be potentially on the block
  20. AP: Judge to approve auctions liquidating Alex Jones’ Infowars to help pay Sandy Hook families Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ' Infowars media platform and its assets will be sold off piece by piece in auctions this fall to help pay the more than $1 billion he owes relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, under an order expected to be approved by a federal judge. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston said during a court hearing Tuesday that he will approve the auctions that start in November. But he said he first must change a previous order to make it clear that the trustee overseeing Jones’ personal bankruptcy case controls all the assets of Infowars parent company Free Speech Systems, which is owned 100% by Jones.
  21. Sounds extremely similar to the recent bullshit with Centerpoint where they could make pennies on the dollar for investments in maintenance and risk reduction - OR - they could hope for disaster so they can make a 2-3x return on investment asking for disaster relief funds while gouging their monopoly customers they've already betrayed. Also, watch out. You just called a pipeline company O&G, you sick bastard.
  22. Man it's WILD how much that sack of shit was driving conservative dialogue vis-a-vis CRT culture war shit
