    For all the dads (and a few moms) reading this I'd encourage swim training your kids how to float indefinitely and how to conserve their strength in the water. I'm sure you can find videos on youtube but it's part of USMC swim training and presumably the Navy. This isn't something we've seen taught by swim instructors in a pool setting.

    I took my six year old to see it last night and this is what we should have done. I'm glad ya'll that enjoyed it got some satisfaction; it just didn't hit with me and it's probably because I find Miller's portrayal of the character super annoying. All of the fan-service in the third act just seemed overdone. Keaton was definitely the best part.

    I don't want to exaggerate my personal experience financing Air Bnb's such that it's representative of all buyers, but most of the ones I've financed are second homes or properties in 78702, Riverside, University Hills, etc. I can't imagine a single one of those renting for less than $2500 a month and that's on a 12 month lease. I've probably closed 100+ loans for investors over the past 3 years and most of them were for investors seeking long-term tenants. We have two rental properties and were able to obtain the same rental amount as last year, too (and one just got leased to a new tenant). We're still getting pinched on profit because apparently TCAD thinks the values rose 10%+ over 2022 but I'm not seeing a catastrophic loss in rents due to excess supply.

    What kills me is seeing my jumbo rates are .50% worse (or more) than what the depository banks are advertising on their websites.

    God, what a horrible at bat for Abreu.

    If we're taking a poll, my vote would go to Miss Farrell

    Sepinwall wasn't my favorite back when recaps were a thing but he was great on those two in particular.

    To echo this, I've been a subscriber to IT since 2003 and I have probably 60% of the posters on ignore. I can't even imagine how much dumber it might get if Orangebloods ever goes under.

    Why would we want Capela taking minutes from Smith and Sengun? It doesn’t look like either of them will duplicate what Capela does but I don’t think he’s a good fit otherwise.

    Summary? Also, has anyone seen an article or something trying to diagnose Montero? I know relievers tend to have high variance performance but not this extreme.

    Also sounds like they don’t feel confident with what they have on campus.

    Hopefully when this bombs Sony will give up on the idea of creating a Spider-Man universe of films around his rogue’s gallery.

    I don’t recall feeling hopeful after reading the road, just depressed and glad I would never need to read it again.

    Texas BBQ

    Fwiw, my top three are Louie M, Franklins, and probably Truth so I might really just like heavy pepper.

    That’s been my read on it, too. It’s fine but not upper echelon.

    @HenryJamesspends all his money on hamburgers and wine. Maybe @RGBIII can help.

    Just went for a three mile run in ‘59 and happy to have lived through it. I look like I just jumped in a pool. also, #teamsweettea

    I pretty much tell borrowers I will lock them when they go under contract and they can take it or leave it. The only people that don’t appreciate it tend to be ruthless rate shoppers anyway.

    I don’t want anyone with that injury history.

    I would think our most valuable trade chip is the ability to eat a bad contract. Otherwise, what’s the point of all this payroll flexibility they continue to tout as we let our players become free agent? We really need to sign a couple of free agents this off-season if only to restore depth enough to trade and Urquidy for something else we value more.

    Come again? Perry did the same stupid, of it's time, pandering bullshit that Abbott is doing; he just did it before Trump broke the GOP's brain and there was still a constituency of educated "small government" sympathizers to put a veneer of respectability on a host of policies overwhelmingly to the benefit of the donor class. It's like ya'll are forgetting how many threads we had on shaggy in regards to Perry's efforts to fuck The University and higher ed in general, the hypocrisy of a small government conservative proposing both the Trans Texas Corridor and statewide HPV vaccination, cronyism in state appointments, etc. I can't speak to what was sincere and what was purely to set the stage of his presidential run, but I don't recall there being a lot of "oh, well he wouldn't go THAT far," in our threads on the various offenses--we just didn't realize how far that bar could get pushed by candidate/President Trump and his imitators.

    Yeah, in support of this I’ll add that his take on Lecter was terrific-I’m sure Bryan Fuller is at least partly responsible but I love how he’s written to be (very) darkly funny.

    It’s pretty amazing what they were able to get away with on a broadcast network. They also did a phenomenal job, in my opinion, of finding a middle ground cinematic look that was too good for television but also somewhat consistent with how you expect a television show to look (in other words, it doesn’t look like something that should be on a big screen, too). I’d also advise quitting after season 2.

    Now you’re echoing @Bozo_Casanova. I contend that Perry would be far more objectionable when held in thrall to today’s Texas GOP.

    I used to live in Australia and it’s even worse there-basically the first or second most venomous incarnation of every species evolved in Australia, including the women.
