If I understand the Cook Beats deal, it was also genius for Cook “to get” headphones for his teammates. Beats gets free advertising every time the Texas team is shown stepping off the bus. Genius move by Beats and Cook. I fully expect Texas to cut that stuff off in the future and sell headphone bus stepping off rights.

There isn’t an expectation of refrigerators conveying. A lot of times people don’t want to take a fridge with them, and I’ll use the fridge as a potential deal negotiating point. Or, just tell people it conveys in the realtor notes.

Not only did he bag $22m, he currently has one of the coolest Longhorn meme gifs out there.

He’s a lughead.

Excuse me sir. It’s called the All Coast Conference.

I don’t get this thread. I’m watching the Astros and flipping back to the OU game. They are up 34-0. How can they look as bad as this thread implies?

Holy shit I just looked at Herman’s staff at FAU and it’s ass my dude.

It was well known on this board and in the booster community that Marion was more interested in planning his next role than he was excelling in his current role. Maybe you were asleep.

On the recession impact, that is why I said there is upside potential and downside risk. It could be a brief non impacting recession. However, I’m in real estate and also ran tech companies and have the opinion that the Austin area has not seen a real downturn for a long time and conditions are looking to have more downside risk than any year since 2009-2010. So far this year, I’ve saved a few clients a lot of money by getting their properties sold at good prices before the declines of the last few months hit their areas. On the cash flowing, I was responding to the thoughts expressed earlier about starting to rent out now. I’m sure anything from pre 2021 is fine. Again, I look at the situation in probabilities and expected returns, so that it’s not just guessing about the future.

Here is how I would suggest anyone think about the rental market in Austin. Home prices are off their peak by quite a bit, but we haven’t even entered a recession since 2009. The Austin market could get hit hard by a recession because it is a tech driven market these days and a lot of the employment here is as a secondary location to another location. In recessions, secondary locations get hit first and hard. However, long-term Austin will be a winning real estate market. That tech presence will drive significant growth. Markets that don’t have good rental cash flow must rely on home appreciation for the long term gains. And right now most rentals are not covering costs+the value of embedded equity. That means as prices drop, the negative or lower cash flow gets worse, and owners must tough out a time period of poor cash flow. Eventually, prices will turn and money can be made on the appreciation. One thing that will help on prices in the near term are the rate cuts. So there is some upside potential too. TLDR: There is more downside home price risk right now due to potential recession than upside benefit from a rate cut. So rental decisions should be made in the context of holding for at least 5 if not 10 years. If you are just thinking about doing it for 1-2 years, your expected value is likely negative due to the recession risk.

I can’t decide whether their massive visit list is a good idea to build some excitement, or a terrible idea by harming some fragile egos.

Haven’t paid attention to this race at all. But, in the back of my mind I’ve been hoping Allred has a shot. Just saw my first anti Allred ad. It is effective for a significant section of the right, including moderates. It shows an Allred video saying the wall would come down because it’s racist. That message will not play well with a significant portion of the state votes he needs to flip. He should have talked about the impracticality of the wall instead. “Tell me how tall you are making the wall so the people can build ladders one foot taller”. Does he have a real shot at winning?

Can’t go into too much detail here, but as I mentioned earlier, hardly anyone has implemented the technology enough to track a car all along the highway system, including the FBI, which is the comment I initially responded to. You would think they would have by now. There are pockets of coverage for sure. And the toll systems are definitely leveraged. But on the comment about all highways providing that information to track a car across the country? No, that is not yet available. My company provided the license plate reading technology to federal, state and local agencies.

So our estate plan includes jewelry made from our ashes for our kids to wear. But now I’m confused. Should my wife and I go out and murder someone?

Someone remind me how I know this guy.

Better yet, make sure that person is also a slow runner and you’ll be protected from mosquitos AND bear attacks.

Just remember, the true architect of that win is coaching against Texas in DKR stadium this Saturday.

Uh no. I work in this world and you would be amazed at what has not been implemented. The technology is all there to do it…but hardly anyone has done it.

Did not realize that the Mavericks still haven’t announced officially their TV plan. And the Astros channel availability in 2025 is also unclear. Right now Astros are only available on cable and Fubo?, which seems too limiting. They need to be on YouTube or Amazon or do like the Dallas Stars and stream direct. These are the final pieces before I eject to YouTube TV or Fubo.

He hasn’t responded in 13 hours after getting everyone all fired up. Delete thread and ban the Louisiana hillbilly.

Would not be surprised to see an OL flip to DL next spring to help fill holes.

Why are you blabbering this nonsense? Edit: Ah, finished the thread and now I understand what you have been trying to say, so poorly. Your point is valid. The very young boomers like myself and Obama grew up in a very different environment from older boomers, so there is a very different life outlook among the older vs younger. I’m as frustrated with older boomers as Gen X are.

Texas 37 CSU 17 WR Yards 311 As the Horns prepared for the gauntlet in their first year in the SEC, they obviously decided to keep their explosive wide-open offense under wraps. At times the offense looked more like explosive diarrhea than wide-open, but by the second half, the Horns’ talent was too much for CSU to overcome, and the Horns won fairly comfortably, albeit below the spread.

Do you only paint, or is there also a way to change the actual shoe too?

“loose”. Sure Einstein.
