  1. Cannot wait for this ski season. Had let myself get out of shape. Quit drinking a few years ago and have been eating right plus living in the gym. Ready to ski hard this season.
  2. Yes sir. First time using electrics.
  3. Jesus, you must be tolling me. Here it is again for the 4th time -- NO.
  4. I think I have said it about 3 times in this thread.
  5. Your question has been answered repeatedly. Yet you keep "just asking".
  6. I mean I don't know how to be more clear. My position is guests who support Hamas should be deported. US Citizens have different rights. They are allowed to support whatever organization they want -- Hamas, KKK, etc. -- and not face sanctions from the government. As much as I would like to deport Hamas or KKK members merely virtue of their associations, it would not be legal. If they break other laws while supporting Hamas, arrest and punish them. But association or lawfully exercising 1st amendment rights alone? No.
  7. Nothing. They have different rights.
  8. No. Citizens have more robust 1st Amendment rights than guests. Kind of like my house. If my wife or kids are being assholes, I can't really kick them out. But when the neighbor down the street is, I can.
  9. I recommend driving really fast
  10. Aspens are pretty when green or golden. Love the shimmering leaves in the breeze.
  11. If they are supporting Hamas, deport their asses back to whatever shithole they came from. Supreme Court precedents hold that aliens are entitled to lesser First Amendment protections while seeking to enter the United States, because an alien has no right to enter the country, as per United States ex rel. Knauff v. Shaughnessy (1950). In matters involving alien exclusion and naturalization, Congress has historically been permitted broad regulatory powers, so the government has been able to use the political viewpoints of aliens against them where content-based distinctions against citizens would be impermissible. Some examples: Exclusion of a British anarchist was at issue in Turner v. Williams (1904); Harisiades v. Shaughnessy (1952) concerned deportation of communists; and Kleindienst v. Mandel (1972) examined denial of a travel visa to a Marxist.+ Resident aliens lack security in political expression So long as that same activity can be used to support the later deportation of an alien, however, resident aliens lack the same security in political expression extended to citizens. According to the decision in Rasul v. Bush (2004), whether an alien is “in” the United States depends upon whether the location is territory over which the United States exercises plenary and exclusive jurisdiction. In Rasul, the Court held that U.S. courts had jurisdiction, or the power to hear a habeas corpus claim filed by detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. A passing statement in United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez (1990), a Fourth Amendment search-and-seizure case, casts some doubt on whether “the people” to whom First Amendment rights belong includes aliens. The Court remarked, “[T]his textual exegesis . . . suggests that ‘the people’ protected by the Fourth Amendment, and by the First and Second Amendments . . . refers to a class of persons who are part of a national community or who have otherwise developed sufficient connection with this country to be considered part of that community.” Anti-terrorism measures affect speech and association rights of noncitizens The USA Patriot Act of 2001 targeted certain speech and association activities by noncitizens in the immigration context. Under the act, aliens may be deported for fund-raising for, providing support to, or associating with groups deemed to be terrorist organizations by the U.S. government. It also excludes entry to aliens who endorse or espouse terrorism or support such groups. In another anti-terrorism measure, the Department of Justice instructed immigration judges to close to the press and the public proceedings involving certain “special interest” cases and asked that they be removed from the court public docket. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals declared this policy unconstitutional, but the Third Circuit upheld it in Detroit Free Press v. Ashcroft (6th Cir. 2002) and North Jersey Media Group Inc. v. Ashcroft (3d Cir. 2002). The Sixth Circuit, following the rule set forth in Richmond Newspapers Inc. v. Virginia (1980), concluded that the First Amendment protected the right of access to the proceedings because of the history of access to such proceedings. The Third Circuit found the record insufficient in this regard. The First Amendment rights of aliens, even once lawfully established in the country, are not equivalent to those of citizens in matters of campaign finance. Federal law prevents aliens who are not “permanent resident aliens” (green card holders) from making campaign contributions or expenditures and from participating in political spending decisions.
  12. Agree with this. But if they are not citizens, deport their asses.
  13. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/careers/nearly-150-houston-isd-schools-improve-letter-grades-in-unofficial-2024-tea-accountability-ratings/ar-AA1p4xg9?ocid=BingNewsVerp Hopefully this is legit and not just juking stats.
  14. I have always been conflicted about graduation rates. Nebraska used to have a program full of mongoloids but was a diploma mill for athletes. They would brag about their high graduation rates and the non-critical thinking college football media would praise them and "Dr. Tom" for graduating 95% of their players.. That is not necessarily a good thing when you are handing out diplomas to anyone who can fog a mirror.
  15. Pretty similar. Both had some high end talent that was going to play a final year before the NFL. And then a lot of scarcity after that. Their QB room is significantly better in that it is average and ours was dumpster fire. We had better backs and receivers. Much better linebackers and DBs. DL a push. Elko is probably can recite the name of his starting QB and knows his home address, so I give them the coaching advantage. And Klein >>>>>> Watson.
  16. When will this myth ever die? No they wouldn't have. Their defense was protected by playing in the SEC in an era with basic run, run, pass options. They would have lost multiple games in the Big 12 against spread teams. See how La Tech put 57 on them running the spread. They won that game by two points. That would have been a regular occurrence in the Big 12. Also, SEC defenses were not set up to stop or used to playing spread offenses like A&M. They had big fatties on the D line and linebackers who were too big. The addition of the spread eventually caused the SEC to adjust their defenses. Also, if not in the SEC then Alabama has no losses. And there is zero chance an A&M team that started off unranked would pass up undefeated Alabama and undefeated Notre Dame for a BCS title shot even if, by some miracle, they went undefeated.
  17. Definitely true. And while I have my doubts about him as a QB, he is clearly a smart man with a very bright future.
  18. The family ate the tile fish last night. First time I had it. It was so good.
  19. Went offshore over the weekend out of Freeport -- to the floater rigs Boomvang and Nansen. Caught a couple tile fish. Cooking those fillets up tonight. Also caught and released a really nice Sailfish. And a mess of blackfin tuna, which honestly eats similar to yellowfin IMO as sashimi. Other fish caught were rainbow runners and barrel fish. Ate some of the rainbow runner as sashimi for lunch today. It was delicious. Seas were very comfy. And the boat we were in got us out there really fast -- a lot different than the 38 foot cat hull I am used to fishing out of (which is comfortable, but slow).
  20. about half of Carr's sacks were his fault. He held the ball too long and had terrible pocket presence. Sacks were cut in half the year immobile Schaub replaced Carr.
