  1. 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...
  2. 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!
  3. The Kill Tony show where Shane Gillis does his Trump and the other guy does a Biden was hilarious.
  4. So, getting back on topic, why did Luigi agreed to be extradited to NYC today after fighting it for a week?
  5. 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:
  6. Talk about a soft landing.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Is that a 424? or m4?
  12. Did you sell this?
  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. From the dallas morning news:
  17. a police officer.
  18. Wasn't clear from the headline, but this person was a MAGAT? Seems more RFK Jr., but still...
  19. 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).
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Look, I agree with everyone on this thread, but this is a ridiculous statement. McKinsey as a strategic and management consulting firm is amazingly effective and highly credible...which is part and parcel why they got in this immoral hot water as they made opiates explode and caused such irreparable harm. Because when you hire them they generally do a great job at whatever you are struggling to do (e.g. efficiencies, cost-takeout, GTM, growth, optimizing processes, etc.).
  23. It's crazy. Just got back from skiing. Got in a massive wipeout and felt like I got hit by a bus by the time I got to the bottom of the mountain. I ain't no spring chicken, I thought I had broken all the bones. Go to the nearest ER which is a dumpy Colorado vet or miner hospital on the border of New Mexico and the doc there is awesome. Do a full trauma workup (as if I got in a car wreck) and full scan. Turns out I'm fine, just bruised and battered, but no tears, breaks, fractures, nothing. Just very sore. Nurse: "Mr. Vegas, we can't give you any norco or pain meds like that because you took some Advil (or Tylenol) a few hours ago before coming in, but we have a bunch of fetanayal we can push in your IV" Me: Um wut? You want to give me fet? Nurse: "The only thing we can give you, it's this or nothing. I've sent a muscle relaxer to the pharmacy, but if you want anything now it's this or nothing" Me: "I'm fine, thank you" I couldn't believe how easy they dispense with it and no wonder rural communities are lousy with it.
  24. I read it as Caitlin Clark is being hated on by the worker bees of the league because she is white in a majority black league.
