  1. He didn’t move up his timeline 2 months because of an OU loss.
  2. That one surprised me, too. Maybe I shouldn't have been--Louisiana is chock full of degree mill institutions of higher learning and for which the job prospects aren't much improved over a high school diploma.
  3. @closetojumping I'm sure will relish the opportunity to defend himself, but I'm pretty sure he wrote one of those "Black and Wingo are silents so make of that what you will." posts (i.e., a silent commitment is about as strong as a promise that "the check is in the mail.")
  4. I bet Jeter is also at least average at his spanish proficiency, too (I don't know how you can possibly run a team in Miami that has to have significant international scouting resources otherwise), but he wasn't going to risk a screw-up while the cameras were on (you just know Arod would have been all over him about it).

    Burgers

    Echoing this, I think they have an underappreciated burger. At least 12 years; my wife and I had out first date at The Tigress and it was there then. I like that both places are very much neighborhood joints and not loved to death.
  6. I actually did something like that for a friend's birthday and Sherrill took it very seriously and sincerely. I felt bad about tricking him; he seems a nice old guy, even if he's at least partly responsible for ruining large portions of my childhood.
  7. This is a great discussion but I don’t know why anyone has failed to point out that 120,000 is a daffy number when categorized as “ready to roll out”.
  8. Also on Cameo and surprisingly affordable for those of you looking for a Christmas gift for that Aggie in the family that’s typically hard to shop for.
  9. Count me among the unsympathetic; a) the death threats are coming from your supposed “allies” and b) in 2023 death threats just come with the job.
  10. Funny, I had that same thought before taking a global politics class at UT. They have their own issues with two recent examples highlighted by Britain and Israel.

    Sushi

    I’m not sure it fits best for this thread, but tried the Uchiba happy hour yesterday. We ordered pretty much the whole menu (whole, happy hour menu, that is). The food was good with a couple of highlights but definitely inferior to uchi and uchiko (I don’t know if that’s purely be design but they are going for something more informal-the server described it as Tyson Cole’s take on Japanese street food or bar food). Drinks, by contrast, were amazing, and $10 happy hour cocktails were a great value. If you’re on a non-uchi budget I think you can grab a couple of their hamburgers ($8.50 a piece, delicious if small) and have a fine fine time just sampling cocktails. Otherwise, they are doing a lot with eggplant and the pork belly skewers were perfectly rendered if a little bland (they won’t change your life but they were the next best protein after the burger). Somewhat surprisingly, all of the sashimi bites were fine but not better-stick to uchi or uchiko if you prefer their happy hour menus for fish.
  12. I’ve never had a good explanation for their angle in this-is it impossible to find a servile AG that is not a crook? They seem strange bedfellows.
  13. Maybe I'm just being insensitive, but I don't really get all the hand-wringing about the hospital. Israel is about to go into Gaza like the USMC did retaking Fallujah and there's going to be a lot more civilian casualties (and I'm not judging, I think it's impossible to prevent them). That said, if any possible Israeli culpability has an upside it's that it should quiet the Northwest Hills mom's current social media blitz of "If you're not with Israel you're against us." Wait, aren't ya'll Americans?
  14. Hopefully that’s the kiss of death for her campaign. John Whitmire might be uninspiring but at least he has to work for a living.
  15. Lost amidst all the talk of the ethics of retaliation is another aspect of this, which is that it appears the IDF is undermanned, under-equipped, and quite unable to put boots on the ground quickly as a future deterrent. I’m sure we have agreements to backstop them on supplies but your point is apt-how did you go through your munitions this quickly attacking a relatively small territory?
  16. I'm starting to see a lot of similarity between MBS Highway and TexAgs...
  17. Is that some kind of boomer jargon for getting it on?
  18. The fact they McCaul seems to be able to hold his nose and vote for Jordan is another reason why I just can’t find anything to admire about him-zero balls.
  19. You're being a little unfair, don't you think? We can't know the answer to this question without fantasizing. Korea is a clear win for 50 million people. Undoubtedly the Kurds living in Iraq live freer today as a result of our Iraq invasion. I've long had a suspicion that Iraq was hit, in part, because it was a more obvious target than Iraq or Saudi Arabia and gave us leverage and proximity to both. Honestly, given the emergent blood lust that seems inherent in our culture, the fact we have ever stabilized another state is a show of surprising restraint.
  20. I turned it off for this reason. Unless you're Ichiro, not working counts is just nails on a chalkboard bad.
  21. What the fuck uncle Mike?!?
  22. Maybe Framber feels like he pitches better with men on base…
  23. But it does make it onto a credit report. Happy to find it for you but do you recall the Austin teacher that was harassed for $100k by St David’s back in 2018? It was a big story at the time. My sister has worked for both Seton and St David’s and mentioned that St David’s was known for aggressive collecting medical bills in spite of the inaccuracy frequently inherent in our messy system. It makes me a little embarrassed every time I see their commercials on Longhorn games-how much of that marketing budget came at the expense of patients browbeaten into paying a bill they thought would or should have been covered by insurance?
  24. One silver lining is that I now remember how much I hate John Smoltz.
  25. I’m a little freaked out seeing Griffey Jr paunchy and old. He needs whatever hormones Jeter is taking.
