  1. Kinda surprised you got an answer right away on the phone, have heard some rather astonishing stories of how far the phone skills of the fresh meat Gen Z new capital staffers have fallen...
  2. NCAA also busy fucking around with the NIT and mid majors last night:
  3. Friend who works as staff for a House member told me this morning that this bill is already dead (see how high the bill number is, will likely never even make it to a committee hearing) and is likely just a freshman rep trying to swing his tiny little dick around. Said its likely someone at TPWD slighted that member and he is trying to get their attention...
  4. Will likely begrudgingly still fly Southwest for that reason too, not really that much closer to Hobby than IAH but its so much easier to deal with getting in and out of...maybe will start hoping Delta will expand their Hobby footprint one day. The credits expiring and points getting cut way back are definitely worse than the bags or open seating going away, but do feel like the "bags fly free" thing they touted for years and years and years getting taken away is really hard to come to terms with as a rather loyal Southwest customer.
  5. Whoever is running SW's social media really might want to chill for a bit and let the heat blow over: Just booked what will be my last Southwest Flight with bag flying free and used up the rest of my flight credits and points doing so, looking around at the best of the rest of the bad airline options...Loved flying Southwest but the really are no different than Spirit or Frontier at this point in my opinion.
  6. That also checks out
  7. Alex Jones new look is something... Can't decide if the steroids are doing some heavy lifting or if he caught the cancer...
  8. I think that's the 3rd rail that not even Elmo/Trump would touch...but for schadenfreude and also the pure chaos and terror it would cause Republicans nationwide I kind of hope they do
  9. Trump when he realizes they gave him a copy and not the real thing:
  10. Please don't give that asshole any ideas...
  11. Some of us don't want to drive around in a boring washing machine of a car and enjoy the occasional thrill of wondering if your car will start and/or throw a bunch of warning lights (VW Golf Mk6 TDI driver here). What's even worse is Toyotas famed reliability is even starting to slip, Wifes company truck is a 2023 Tacoma and it's been in the shop several times over the last few months for fuel system issues including one that resulted in gasoline leaking everywhere at a gas station...
  12. Friend of mine works for a state agency and has/had written/official permission to permanently work remotely, would still go into office in Austin when requested (and on his own dime) but that was not super often. Mentioned this to him and he said wasn't sure if it would apply to him yet... really hoping he doesn't get rat fucked by Abbott but that would not be the most surprising thing in the world at this point...
  13. Any fucking day now…McDonald’s do your thang
  14. Stoopid Sip, the plywood is to protect the contents of the building from looters not the windows...
  15. Quite literally already have useful idiot a la Jar Jar binks in Star Wars proposing this shit: https://ogles.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-ogles-proposes-amending-22nd-amendment-allow-trump-serve-third-term
  16. Those Aggy McMansions out in Katy/Cypress along the Grand Parkway need plenty of cheap timber (and labor) they aint gonna build themselves...
  17. This article and its content seem pretty news worthy to me...
  18. I for one, can't wait to have to pay Elon Musk a subscription fee thru X: the everything app, in order to get all the great weather forecast information including severe weather warnings and Hurricane track forecasts that the NWS currently provides as a public service...
  19. That dude Bo French is a real grade A piece of shit, so much so that even more "reasonable" Texas republicans have had issues with some of the dumbass shit he says like this... At this point, I'm at the FAFO place with stuff like this, why not let them try and have Tarrant County 100% red and see who they can figure out to blame when things go wrong. Already slowly starting to happen at the State level when R's have been in control for so long they are running out of people to blame for things like schools not all being excellent and property taxes not being out of control, etc. Its starting with calling any republican who isn't straight 100% MAGA a "RINO" that must be primaried and voted out... but what happens then when there are still shitty schools and property taxes are still outta control? It's gonna be a real-life Tim Robenson sketch:
  20. Feel like if there was ever a chance for a MWC - PAC12 merger in this round of realignment it would have already happened, on the face without thinking about the money side it just made too much sense not to do originally. Schools that jumped from the MWC to PAC did so for a reason: to get away from MWC schools that they saw as not being committed to a higher-level of athletics (dead weight) and were cruising off of the money that the schools who left were bringing into the MWC. Until something changes with that (or there is some calamity with PAC12 TV deal negotiations, and they end up exactly back where they were with the MWC) just see no way the schools who left the PAC would ever agree to a reverse merger.
