  1. So does Venezuela become a failed state? Does the military rule long term post a coup? With the conditions being so bad, why has action not occurred against Maduro?
  2. I-35 improvements in Texas will never be complete.
  3. Is the perception that Spec, Total Wine, and other’s have significant gross margins such that big box stores will drive prices even lower? I got the sense that Spec’s prices were already competitive. So is this just a convenience thing to buy your booze while grocery shopping? Or people really crave Kirkland brand booze? i would rather get rid of the 9pm cutoff and the Sunday noon prohibition. Those are far more inconvenient.
  4. The line is not worth it. We have done pickup for several work luncheons in the office.
  5. Some people just can’t be saved.
  6. Thor Ragnarok. I laughed with it. Not a bad movie.
  7. 358 users on shaggy is absurd. Who is so dense as to continue to visit and post on Shaggy?
  8. Selfishly, I wish the state of Texas would invest in water infrastructure projects. Namely additional reservoirs along with desalination plants along the coast that pipe that water inland. It isn’t economic to build but Texas is going to need incremental fresh water supplies in the decades to come.
  9. Natural gas has already given us very low energy costs in the US, to the point that nuclear plants are not commercially competitive at the moment.
  10. Not a chance in hell he resigns, unless doing so makes him more money than staying in office. Resigning in disgrace is not likely to lead to profit.
  11. TCAD says values for 2018 not available yet. Where are you seeing your numbers ?
  12. A few drops in 78757. I want a lot more.
  13. Good to see the US acting in concert with its allies against this Russian assault.
  14. ^^should make for a fun filled election night.
  15. Have to sell that click bait. Lots of time between now and Election Day.
  16. Are you expecting a win vs USC or just a good showing?
  17. That thread is the Bogleheads forum. If that is your strategy, that forum has everything you need.
  18. Do Pompeo and Bolton share similar views and goals ?
  19. I don’t see impeachment happening with a GOP Senate through 2020.
  20. Great. We can improve to 8 wins. Yippie. Doesn’t make me enthusiastic. Let me know when we are winning the conference.
  21. Reps to the brewery.
  22. Checking in. Been cord free for 10+ years. Sports are the only challenging aspect.
  23. Assume Dems take the House in spectacular fashion. Assume GOP keeps the Senate. Do Dems stay energized for another 2 years when realistically, controlling the House slows Trumps agenda but does not advance the Democrats agenda ?
  24. Not a chance. Looks terrible.
  25. Say what? Like a belt ?
