    There was a study a few years ago that found that legalization and decriminalization increased sex trafficking. And that the effect is greater the richer the country is. https://orgs.law.harvard.edu/lids/2014/06/12/does-legalized-prostitution-increase-human-trafficking/

    We’ll see. So far people are clearly deciding it’s not with the risk. Other than backpage, the closures have been voluntary, not government seizures.

    I support any state's secession so long as they remit to the federal government their share of the national debt (either 1/50th or based on House apportionment, whichever is larger). So as long as South Carolina can come up with ~$425b, adios!

    Only one ball was at all well hit so that was mostly a combination of bad batted ball luck and bad defense.

    If the goal is reducing sex trafficking and prostitution, reducing supply and demand by shutting down craigslist, backpage, and eccie will be far more impactful than arresting individual johns and hookers.

    Before Longhorn Dam but Mansfield (and Tom Miller) were built before Disch Field.

    Old Disch Field on Barton Springs with Butler Park and Zilker Park in the background.

    Not quite the same but they are converting Congress from 16th to MLK into a pedestrian mall.

    I think some are deluded but some are kids who are being forced out. Lagerald Vick at Kansas is an example this year. If he would be eligible next fall maybe he just transfers rather than declaring for the draft where he's likely to go undrafted.
  11. DanRydell
    That said, I would rather see a system where players and schools can decide how long they want their mutual commitment to be. If they agree to a four-year scholarship, then the player can't transfer without a penalty and the school loses that scholarship for all four years, whether the player is still on the roster or not. If they agree to a one-year scholarship, he only takes up a scholarship for one year. The player can then leave without penalty after a year or the two parties can agree to extend the scholarship for 1-3 years.
  12. DanRydell
    I'm not so sure about that. There were 26 kids last year who declared early for the draft and went undrafted. Without a transfer penalty, they may be more likely to transfer to a lesser program for a better opportunity for playing time.

    Still seems like it'd make more sense to just do a Thurs-Sat series (or leave Monday open for both teams). Skipping Friday only helps you if there is a weather issue on Thursday whereas skipping Sunday or Monday can help if any of the games are rained/snowed out.

    Lagerald Vick leaving Kansas. Did he get forced out to free up a scholarship? Seems like he probably goes undrafted.

    I would have presumed an extra four days off would mean more off Mondays and Thursdays, not Fridays. And if the point is to accommodate weather issues, it only makes sense to put off days at the end of a series, not after the first game of it.

    Roy Bean was a murderer, a wife beater, an unrepentant racist, and a thief who abused his office for personal gain.

    When's the last time there were fewer than 10 scheduled games on a Friday during the regular season?

    Eisenhower lived in Texas for less than two years and was too young to remember a second of it. Chris Kyle was a liar, a narcissist, and a sociopath.

    It's not nearly as bad as 290 west but that stretch of 290 east of Elgin where it's 4 undivided lanes is dangerous as hell too. My best friend was killed out there 3 years ago.
  22. DanRydell
    I’m all for disincentivizing mid-inning pitching changes. Holding a guy out for one game also doesn’t really punish teams who need to make a mid-inning change due to injury.
  23. DanRydell
    Because the US doesn’t have a bunch of baseball academies kids get sent off to.

    Pretty sure I saw a hornian post in baseball a couple of days ago.

    Northbound traffic still has a light for the southbound left turn lane into that office park but they took out the light on the southbound side a little while back.
