Surly Dad Thread
Tough seeing your kid gut it out and leave it all out on the field in the playoffs and come up short. Builds character though. And Southlake Carroll is a machine. If it's anything like it was when I was at UT he will have fraternity brothers who he has played against in Texas HS football for the last four years and they will be some of his best friends and he was competing against some of his future best friends and didn't even know it.

Black Friday Deals
I bought airpods from amazon at a very low (shocking) price and they sent two different chinese knock off brands. I had to drive to whole foods to take them back and was worried they would think I was scamming them, but they scammed me!

Trump’s America
It's funny because he's a manlet that can fit in a Women's Large.

Most annoying Christmas Movies
It's probably Elf but, like others have said, it's nostalgic in a way that brings back joyful and warm memories when kids were little, so it gets a lifetime pass.

Black Friday Deals
Cue the Black Friday meme: “we all got big tvs put them groceries on sale!”

Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro, Netflix, November (del Toro doing the original book)
Was reading letterbox and Reddit and was surprised to find the biggest problem people had was with christoph waltz character and the writing in of his character and role. Funny to see people turning on him as a one trick pony and the “all he does is play christoph waltz in every movie”.

Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro, Netflix, November (del Toro doing the original book)
Yes that is a very much part of the book. I don't know what to think of this movie to be honest. It's half cheese, half interesting. It's like if The Prestige and Twilite had a baby called Twilite Prestige: Dawn of Frankenstein had a film baby.

The Trump Economy
And the thing is, the prices are reaching parity. I’ve spent two weeks of every month this year in NYC. Prices for fine dining (omakase, steaks, standard fine dining) are about equal to what I see in Atlanta or Dallas or Miami (red states). Either the prices in other cities are catching up to NYC and a steak experience in Plano is a rip off to the experience in the City or NYC has flattened out and is a better deal. Can’t comment on LA.

I for one welcome our new AI overlords
I get the sense a bunch of Uncs on here don’t know this so let me help out the room: Add "-ai" to your Google queries and the experience is like it was from 2001-2022.

New Houston Restaurant Recommendations
Makes sense. I just don’t know how necessary Oaxacan is, for me.

Pretty much a dead bet after the 3rd play of the game. Crazy bets be like that, I guess.

NIMBYism
I don't know about you guys, but in an ideal case, I would like to live as far away from affordable housing as I personally can afford. Which today isn't very far judging by the new apartments going up every other block. Because I'm a poor. So, YIMBY! Why not?

Robinhood Prediction Market
I shorted NVDA about 10 days ago (another thread, another story for another day) and so I'm feeling like a genius. I got more Syracuse at $.02. I now am the proud holder of 28,000 shares of Syracus at $.02 in for around $700 or so. I don't even need Syracuse to win, just take a late lead and I'm golden. Get it to a quarter and I might sell it all ($7k @ $.25). Of course Syracuse could get blown out bell to bell, but I guess that's why we play the games.

New Houston Restaurant Recommendations
My guest changed our plans last minute from a steakhouse to Xochi. It wasn't my cup of tea (but the deserts and mexican coffee were amazing). I guess I'm not much a mole man, but I had a little bit of everything; lamb chops, fish of the day, the steak, the lobster tail tacos, the ceviche, and some ants. Pretty much everything but the grasshoppers. Not really sure the overwhelming popularity and appeal my Houston people speak of this place about, but knock yourself out H-town.

Robinhood Prediction Market
It dropped to $.02 so I loaded up another 5000 shares. I'm in for 10,000 shares of Syracuse @ $0.025 against Notre Dame. I'll sell it all if I could even get it to a $.25, but imagine an upset and winning 10 large. That would be hilarious.

Confirmed: Not sketchy area. Well....you put sketchy people in any area and all of a sudden it becomes a sketchy area.- The Climate thread
With COP30 going on in Brazil, haven't heard much coming out of it.- Robinhood Prediction Market
I bought 5000 of Syracuse for $.03 against ND.- Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
I looked into texit coin a few months ago. It's a scam, pure and simple.- Kris Boyd critically wounded
It's because it's not a sketchy area. @Stunns38 sounds like he has dated info. I've commented-- I have also stayed at that Moxy and it made me feel weird like a sex dungeon. You must be a live one!- Kris Boyd critically wounded
This is the garment district right? I mean, it's 5 minutes from Bryant Park which is a bougie area (safe) area. There isn't much sketchy in that area and I just had dinner 3 days ago on 37th and 6th about 5 minutes from where he was shot (Frankie & Johnnies) and it couldn't have been safer and cleaner (by NYC standards). - Kris Boyd critically wounded
