  1. You forgot that Whitley is thus far unhittable in 2025.
  2. Btw, you’ve not really lived if you haven’t had your asshole puckered driving down the twisty and steep cobblestone streets of Porto in a borrowed Audi.
  3. We took an uber. The town hates tourist cars making it hard for residents to get in and out.
  4. Ezra Klein and Jonathan Haidt (Anxious Generation author) touched on this on Ezra's most recent podcast episode--in Haidt's opinion, we've lost a shared moral philosophy that was centered around Judeo-Christian values (as citizens have moved away from organized religion), and what's replaced it (or left behind) is a philosophy centered on the market as the moral arbiter of what is right. In other words, if the market rewards certain behaviors, then those are okay, and if it punishes other then those are wrong. Tying this back to dogs and HEB, I agree with @Brisketexan and think we all should shit in their carts. I feel deeply it's what Jesus would want.
  5. I pass by that house on my way to Counter Cafe and it's amazing. I think I could live with the driveway.
  6. Same-probably my first exposure to the idea that you could be smart and fun and that not everything social had to revolve around small town sports, drinking beer at the bank parking lot and making out in the bed of a pick-up trucks in some pasture.
  7. Another LO. My partner did $43m the year before we teamed up and he was hitting a similar wall getting past that. Mine was 2019 and I think we did $78m that year (my name was on about $45m of it) and I was pretty much on-call or actively working that entire year except for maybe one weekend in February. We started interviewing that fall but I don’t think we onboarded anyone until December. All that said, I didn’t hit nearly that last year so maybe I should hope to be you when I grow up 😉
  8. Good luck with that. I couldn’t get past $50m without hiring someone.
  9. Not shocking, but Ogden is basically being groomed to be the permanent steward for basketball and possibly CDC replacement down the road.
  10. Obviously, super small sample size but how should this be interpreted? That we have a lot of hitters that are poor at making contact or that or poor at making GOOD contact?
  11. I probably should have read this before my last post because you got to the same point with better reasoning.
  12. I’ll add one more thing-I tend to think of Democrats donors and voters as mostly interchangeable, at least should be the goal. That said, the Democratic Party method of arriving at solutions, party platform, etc., appears to floated into “let’s try to give or respect each of our disparate constituent group” rather than have a bedrock value base and ask constituent groups to get behind it. They are leaking voters because they’ve become the party most associated with inaction (even if that’s unfair, as they would rebut).
  13. I can’t recall which of the 100 podcasts I’ve been listening to had an interview with Colorado governor Jared Polis on, but his solution is a version of “constantly look for ways to make government better and make it cheaper.” Obviously every race and region has its own specifics, but that speaks far more to the kitchen table concerns of most families than protecting the rights of transgender athletes or any other (let me clear, valid and worthwhile) civil right under threat (including abortion rights, of which the fight to protect appears to have lost steam).
  14. So your solution is to tack left? I reluctantly read that same Brett Stephens op-Ed I the Times, even though I know better, because it had a sexy headline, and he did his usually great job of assuming his opinion is representative of larger group than an elite east coast/mexican Jew boarding school kid. All that said, he’s mostly right in the diagnosis if always wrong about the solution (his solution is always that the Dems should be more like, well, Brett himself). But I don’t disagree that the Dems need to re-organize around a center that has abandoned them.
  15. I would have to think either offer starts with Chet and Sengun. I don’t know why Milwaukee would want FVV, or why we’d want to hunt for a new pg if we’re going all in with the trade (I get it’s more of an obvious case based on making the salaries work).
  16. Is anyone else getting hit up by Jose Garza for fundraising emails and texts? I don’t know what fundraising entity sold him my contact information but it was wildly misspent.
  17. Defense has to be really bad at second for me to think that’s where we should be willing to sacrifice offense, particularly playing between Pena and Walker. And he’s an out machine. That said, I can live with him there. It’s letting Dubon take away at bats from any of the rostered outfielders that I really object to (even fucking Chas).
  18. I don’t know what we have to offer that’s superior to whatever OKC can put together.
  19. I’m really hopefully the plan this year isn’t to give Dubon another 400 at bats.
  20. It sounds like we're all going to be 1099 employees of Rocket at some point in the future. It'll be like the Idiocracy Costco but for lending.
  21. Let’s not act like this is TexAgs and that Gerry and Kyle Flood are unquestionable projectors of future collegiate success. Tray Allen and Jake Raulerson were also 5 stars at one point and O-line appears to among the hardest positions to project. Gerry is at least modest enough to get this, which is why he’s usually skeptical about high school lineman making it as college tackles, regardless of bonafides. I really hope Turntine comes to Texas because I love it when we’re attractive to student athletes that actually want the student part, but he looks light and he’s not some underfed kid from Kountze that’s going to put on 40 lbs in year one just because he has access to a dorm buffet and a badass gym (if those kids even exist anymore outside of rural Mississippi).
  22. Here’s a photo of a homeless dude that broke into the ground floor of our AirBnB (we were on the 4th floor) sleeping. What you can’t see is he was about 6’5’’, 250 lbs. My rec-stay in a hotel.
  23. @Bozo_Casanova’s BFF Greg Casar with some strategic recommendations I mostly agree with in Politico
  24. R/USMC has been in mod melt-down mode because it's impossible to talk about stuff like this in an apolitical manner.
  25. @SL Xpress had some epic rants back in the day when most of us thought paying players was, at a minimum, unseemly for the genteel alumni of The University.
