The destruction of America's public education system

On a more local level, our very well regarded principal got the axe from Miles a couple days ago and is now hitting the news. We are supposed recertify as an IB school but the NES curriculum doesn't really allow for that. Our principal pushed back and well, now she's on "administrative leave" https://abc13.com/post/houston-isd-has-few-answers-parents-questioning-harvard-elementary-school-principals-leave-ongoing-investigation/15409427/ -
Tickets go on sale in February and yes you are correct that you'd be sitting in grassy areas. The 3-day pass is sold through COTA and I don't think that is marked up. There are some 1day GA passes on Ticketmaster that look like about $140 cheaper. Reserved seats look crazy right now. The cheapest ones in the $600 range (3day) are bad viewing angles. If you decide to go, keep on mind that shade is almost non-existent, particularly in GA areas, so bring some portable shade. Another idea that folks do is, instead of dropping a bunch of money at COTA, spend a little less on ticket prices and go to the race in Montreal. That way for the money you also get a cool trip out of it.

Texas vs. Mississippi State - 3:15pm on SEC Network

Eh, I didn't hate going for it but the playback was questionable. -
I was a bit surprised when I saw the trailer for it in the theater. The original Danish one was very well done but it only made a little over $600k in the box office. I'm kind of torn but I'll prob go see McAvoy and Davis go all crazy... Hopefully the original producers can at least get a decent return from whatever royalties once the new one hits.

Team Piastri all the way. His move on lap one was beautiful imho. What a race, Leclerc!

Drop us some more pics when you can. Love this track.

I put a topper on my 10 year old 4x4 Taco, ever so slightly bigger set of Michelins, and replaced broken fog lights with LEDs. Will that count?? I think that will count. The drivers can prep for the race by opening the sliding windows in the bed with no AC.

Why do you do this? Just as I was starting to make a dent in my book list... Finished "The Man who Fell to Earth". What a read. He writes juuust enough about any given scene to make it seem vivid in your head without being at all too wordy. Loved every page.

Re: Sainz...I'm excited he's going to Williams and look forward to seeing how he contributes. They seem to actually be executing on their long term strategy and can see them making more strides than the likes of the Alpine dumpster fire. Pretty impressed Vowels pulled it off.

For sure. I feel for the drivers and wish they'd hold this and the US GP no earlier than mid-to-late October. Need more shade for the fans, too, for races basically at the tail end of summer. Have just casually followed WEC and will be my first actual race to attend.

Sorry, code is 49HOURSONLY. But not too much time left. My bad

PSA...Lone Star Le Mans general admission tickets at COTA weekend of September 1 are on sale for $20 until 1 AM tomorrow. GA for three days that are priced at $69 usually. Just picked up a couple. Anyone been to a WEC race at COTA and have any tips? I've been to a couple F1 practices/races there and sat at turn 12. This time I may try the GA section at turn 1 depending on attendance and how early I get there.

Spent the past couple nights watching the 2011 Canadian GP and what perfect timing. It set up today's race perfectly.

Man, I'm listening to Whitmire's interview on ABC13 right now and he needs to tone it down a bit. Basically yelling at the camera and overboard.

Pretty sure it was a Wednesday.

Completely agree and didn't intend to dismiss the economic elephant in the room. It will take massive investment and those that do will assume risk that the project will be uneconomic. And to your point, what happens when Vicki retires as CEO at Oxy? Will these major net zero projects continue or will that side of the company be cleaved off and saddles with debt because it doesn't compete with the rest of the O&G portfolio? I guess my main hangup was thinking some are negative on the Anthropogenic CO2 EOR aspect simply because more oil will continue to be produced vs. the fact that it's unproven at scale and faces economic headwinds. Can completely understand the latter argument.

Went to Georgia James for our anniversary. It's was excellent, but I just have a hard time eating a deliciously expensive cut of steak that I can rival at home on my cast iron with a reverse sear. The ambeance, drinks, appetizers, and of course the occasion made it worth it though. Definitely a special occasion place unless you are Surly 1%.

Went to Corkscrew a couple months back for lunch and you have to get there before 1130 for any semblance of a reasonable wait. But the food was legit.

@TwiceHorn geologist AND a lawyer? A true Texas rock hound.

Bearman in at Haas next year. Anyone have any insight into his lackluster F2 performance? Wondering if it's more team-related but no idea. Let's see what happens with KMag now...

Show me your old Tacos (4Runner, FJ, Landcruiser, bronco etc)

Only 109k for a 1998?? Wow, that's basically gently used for a 4Runner. Congrats on the purchase. Share more pics when you get it. -
All of this really makes me appreciate Piastri even more given his age. The guy just puts his head down, races his ass off, and seems like a cool head over the radio. Yin and Yang and all that.
