    I only tip when I pick it up and if I ever got the stink eye for not tipping at drop off I didn’t notice.

    Also, I might have joked about them upthread but there was a mortgage co (not sure if broker or banker but probably former) out of Houston in 2021 and on which we had an agent that would send both us and their contact information to prospective buyers. All of the employees of this shop were Asian ladies 40+ in age and they would, presuming our pricing was the same, get down to 50 or 60 bps. I looked them up in MMI and they had done something like $150m last 14 months, and probably only eeking out a profit if they actually paid minimum wage.

    If it helps to corroborate your pricing I’d gross about 25 bps at 6.250%.

    If he can't beat Paxton I don't see how he survives a primary. He'd have been better off running as a Dem.

    Echoing @Snake Diggity, it was Dell that minted millionaires and started diversifying Austin's business sector. Nobody that was working for IBM or NI or whatever previously was becoming independently wealthy before they hit their 40's. The money begat lots of small-time VC investment (compared to CA), property speculation (you don't have the eastside gentrification most likely without investor flippers), upgraded dining choices, airport expansion, etc., etc.. That said, I'm in the camp that "old Austin" will never die as long as The University is spitting out 8K new grads annually to complain that their Austin has declined since they were freshman.

    In your defense, Jocelyn Donahue in House of the Devil is super cute. Would definitely sacrifice her to the beast.

    Ooh, snap, I didn't know or had forgotten we had a thread on this. I've got multiple horror movies I want to watch but haven't yet. Talk to Me (still in theaters), Possum, Influencer, Knock at the Cabin, Brooklyn 45, Saint Maud. Only one I've really checked off my list in the last few months was Infinity Pool (which is very twisted). I did also watch Evil Dead Rise and The Pope's Exorcist and both were as silly as I hoped they'd be. Also on team #livtylerdoesn'tsuck

    What Sydney wrote feels intuitively true (I really haven't used barbells since a shoulder impingement surgery in 2009). I definitely don't feel like I can do 50% of my barbell weight on other exercises using dumbbells. I'm also a very big fan of overhand upright row; if you'll lean over a little at the waist and raise the bar no higher than the base of your rib cage you will keep the stress on the rear delts (it'll hit your traps, too, but that's not the goal). It's not an exercise that wins awards at the beach but I think it helps keeps the shoulder development balanced (you'll hit the front plenty doing any chest exercise).

    Watts is out of eligibility; Holmes doesn't have NFL size and is at best in a job share arrangement with Brooks (in other words, it'll limit his scouting film). They aren't really recruiting nickels to play CB for the most part (there's obviously some crossover but they seem to prefer safety/CB tweeners at nickel). So really it's only Watts that's the obvious loss. Basically he'll need to beat out Brice who'll have a 2 year head start. I would agree with you that particular challenge, explained in that manner, likely isn't cause for an announcement delay. I do wonder if it's more like "Brooks and Muhammad are going to get the majority of snaps the next couple of years, hmmmm..." Anyway, I don't have any special insight, just speculating.

    I wonder if Black has some concerns about the CB depth chart. It'll be a surprise if he's on the four deep as a freshman.

    I'd probably listen to it live over Tim Brando and Spencer Tillman.

    Fwiw, I'm not sure if you're using barbells or dumbbells for the military press but I'm not a big fan of the former as I think it creates too much stress on the joint. You and I are about the same age; I've got years and years of consistent workouts stacked on top of each other and typically tell people getting back into it that you need to stay at low weight, higher reps to avoid injury (keeping consistent with your workout is one of the primary goals). That said, I've been experimenting with higher weights, lower reps because I think the higher repetitions are putting extra stress on my joints generally (which isn't something I think you need to worry about in your 20's). Definitely staying active in middle age has it's own challenges the workout guides and personal trainers don't really address.

    That's actually pretty impressive. I'm very curious what the long term goal is here, i.e., as cable viewership declines is it viable to have your own youtube channel that is programmed similarly but can have a niche focus? Essentially a private Longhorn Network unbound by all the NCAA and Bellmont bullshit.

    So I don’t have a Twitter account and I’m not signing up for one; when I click the link it doesn’t take me to a thread, just the post, and when I click the author I can’t see anything more recent than posts from 10/22. Am I doing it wrong?

    You can have it now if you want to pay 6 discount points

    I got a couple of drops at the Arboretum Trader Joe’s. Washed my truck earlier so I did my part creating the rain mojo.

    Just finished; I don't know how you binge this, it's DARK. Let me give you an alternative, less hopeful explanation for the final sequence than Sepinwall and others on the web that I've been reading this morning seemed to find. Say that the Mask Collector adaptation of the story required Sally's participation or her consent, and that she knew it'd be shifting the blame to Cousineau and she'd be living with that lie for the rest of her life. The finale is one where all of our main characters are acknowledging the lies they've told themselves; she's both acknowledging it and then repeating it. Maybe it's for the benefit of John, a way for her to personally move on, maybe it for money. Either way it represents a repudiation of the main theme (and her personal hell; she gets none of the glory she previously sought instead re-embraces her delusions, so to speak).

    CTJ is far too urbane for that, pretty sure he’s Pasadena/Deer Park. Liberty, for the record, did very well in the lady department, as did Barbers Hill, so not all of the little southeast Texas shit towns were deserts.

    Well, the fact the “power of Arch” isn’t lending itself to better WR recruiting in our own state should be somewhat supportive of the point the On3 guys were trying to make.

    I'd far prefer to see travel pics to another goddamn cheese pun. Here, I'll help get back on topic. Justin Wells, whatever you think of him, let slip during a video with Gerry and Sam Spiegelman today that McKinley will commit to Texas. I don't know if it was inadvertent but neither Gerry nor Spiegelman corrected him. Another thing that was touched on that feels intuitively true but I hadn't heard someone speak out-loud yet is that NIL is changing the merits of getting a Malik or an Arch to act as a in class ringleader or create some momentum. Finally, they didn't say this (in fact, they said the opposite), but I keep wondering why supposed A&M partisan Terry Bussey hasn't committed and keeps visiting schools he's already seen before. I don't think he's coming here (they indicated he's small town guy and that Austin's probably too big for him, plus what CTJ and others have said about where he sits in priority for UT) but maybe LSU or Bama.

    All of those piney woods schools were in our district growing up and Lumberton was as bad at football as you’d expect with those demographics. I also recall thinking that Lumberton and New Caney were okay but Kirbyville, Silsbee, Jasper, etc just had no good looking girls at all.
  22. LCHorn
    I don’t think he had a committable offer.

    I just saw the box score; did France's arm fall off or something? How do you give up 11 hits in 2 innings?
  24. LCHorn
    Haha, I was thinking the same thing last night when I watched Ep 2. I’m glad ya’ll are liking Dawson because I think she’s adorable, but I hope her portrayal lightens up a bit as the show continues. Clone wars/Rebels Ahsoka was far more fun.

    Not to totally thread shit off topic in a different direction, but one flaw in your theory is that 50 years ago one might have compared both teaching and nursing as comparable employment for a skilled female otherwise underemployed elsewhere due to her gender. I'd think most nurses make 2X over a teacher today, to the point where it's diversifying by pulling a greater proportion of males into it (than earlier generations; it's still overwhelmingly female). Anyway, no disagreement here with prescription, but I think your diagnosis may be off.
