  1. Martin Short is quietly one of the funnier working guys still that might be relatively obscure to the GenZ/Alpha generation.
  2. The scenario of the nosy neighbor is what I was referencing. Something like that with amateur flying drones and invading privacy by taking photos of your land or whatever. Obviously not meant to shoot at a united airliner flying folks to Dallas from El Paso or anything stupid like that.
  3. Serious question for those who know (because I don't and can't find a definitive answer online): Is the airspace above the land you own, yours? Do you have to obtain air rights above your acreage in the same way you'd obtain mineral or water rights? Example: I own 100 acres in West Texas. I put up "no drones flying over my land signs or will be shot down". Can I then shoot down drones or jam them with electric jammers or what have yous? Not related to the OP and thread I don't htink (but to be fair, have not read a lick of this) but been wondering about this the past year or two.
  4. I did not realize Flower moung was LISD. What is Flower mound like these days? The couple of folks I know who live there are my age (read: old) and bought in the 90's and just haven't sold yet. Surprised it hasn't had a sharp downfall from it's peak like Coppell did about 15-20 years ago once the upper middles started moving out en masse, though I heard the Indians still love Coppell and Indians are great indicators for real estate in North Texas...
  5. They do like a full, preventative, (out of pocket) cardio workup and read-out, is the pitch. Curious if you had heard of this. It's like a cash only, wealthier people type thing from what I understand, and I'm just an old poor guy but my heart is getting up there in age!
  6. The Kill Tony show where Shane Gillis does his Trump and the other guy does a Biden was hilarious.
  7. So, getting back on topic, why did Luigi agreed to be extradited to NYC today after fighting it for a week?
  8. NY Times had an interesting cross section of reaction today. Here are some of the best: Van Jones: Sarah Longwell: Jonathan Karl Anita Dunn: Alexis McGill Johnson:
  9. Firstly, Nuclear Power Plants are the way to go. Energy Grid thread out front shoulda told ya. Secondly, having worked in/around the power and utilities industry. I'm not so sure that you can tell a difference in integrity for energy companies and tech companies like meta. It's the meme of Pam saying they are the same picture. Thirdly, I thought Meta was building or investing in SAMs. I could be thinking of Google. or Microsoft. I mean all big tech is adding power (nuclear) to their portfolios due to the greedy power hog known as AI.
  10. I was in a cabin in Colorado with the grandkids a couple weeks back during ski vacation. Pretty rustic, not a ton of luxury, but ski in/ski out, fire place, sauna, 5 bedrooms, etc. Each room was outfitted with a flat screen 27 inch TV. To the grandkids the TV was tiny and old fashioned, but normal to me. There was no streaming services, just a DVD player, a channel guide, and 40 channels on a schedule. Only two of which had any age appropriate cartoons. It was very interesting watching these kids who can watch any and all cartoon content at the click of a button at any given time have to watch a problematic episode of The Jetsons or an episode of the Flintstones on Boomerang. I found that modern cartoons keep tiny kids awake and hooked and stimulated with dialuted pupils. The cartoons from yesteryear where a nice sleep aid as kids would just pass out once they settled in to the acceptance that this is all you can have and there are no other options.
  11. This pic (minus the kid from the Cher movie The Mask) is giving late 90's A-Chi-O house, complete with the same bunk beds.
  12. I agree wholeheartedly. But that said, if falling birthcounts and populations are truly impacting enrollments (and project to be in the near future), why not rationalize some of the schools and pool resources, teachers, and students together to optimize or "load balance" if you will? That is what it sounds like is happening in Lewisville which would make sense as it is not a destination for young families or folks looking to raise families for the most part.
  13. @Fat Bastard I'm getting up there in age, what do you think about The Cooper Institute and their full workup they do on the heart? https://www.cooperinstitute.org/
  14. I left YTTV for Fubo and have zero complaints.
  15. I mean, TSA precheck even sucks these days. CLEAR for life.
  16. Wasn't clear from the headline, but this person was a MAGAT? Seems more RFK Jr., but still...
  17. I sold yesterday at 106k. Will get back in if/when it dips to 80's. That's the play I think, pick and choose windows. Bitcoin might or might not be stupid and have no practical value, but it's long past the exit velocity to make it a tradeable commodity with very little risk (unlike every alt-coin).
  18. Well, in the interest of avoiding a squabble, I'll address the AA point. I didn't even realize ACN was the offshoot of AA until like the third interview. I imagine most of the dumb public has zero idea.
  19. Full disclosure, I've worked for Accenture. So what's the beef there? What's toxic about implementing software programs? We weren't some major strategy setter for anyone.
