  1. Don't mind me, just here to watch the old people complain about ESPN+
  2. I'm sure Apple will be happy to sell you new HomePods with AI sometime in the near future...or sell you a new Apple TV that has the AI stuff onboard that old HomePods can talk to locally for AI requests... Think Apple is in too deep with HomePods to just let them die, they ain't Google
  3. For real the fact that he's a 51 yo Travis County ADA and thats the least insane part of this story is quite something...
  4. I made roughly minimum wage in the early-mid 2000’s as a bored teenager in high school and then as a college student part time just looking for some beer money. Absolutely think minimum wage should exist to protect against the race to the bottom of capitalism that would certainly try to drive wages for these kinds of entry level “basic” jobs to $0/hr if left to its own devices. That being said these people trying to tout a jump to $15 min wage for these kinds of jobs and pretending like that’s a livable wage in 2024 are idiots, that’s a fine min wage for snot nosed high school and college kids working part time for video game/beer money but you aren’t living on that anywhere in America today, maybe bum fuck nowhere rural Mississippi or Alabama but that’s about it. No I really don’t have a better idea so don’t ask, my belief is just it’s a good thing to have a min wage floor but don’t act like it’s a livable wage unless it actually is…
  5. It wasn't all that long ago that I first hand saw a sign outside a business in "Downtown" Livingston Texas that said "colored entrance in back" so definitely believe at least some of these still exist, deep east Texas especially.
  6. NSIAP: and that will be enough internet for today...
  7. Why FSU...Garnet and Gold such solid colors why mess it up??
  8. 14-year-old suspect in custody after Houston Farmers Market employee killed in shooting: Sources https://abc13.com/post/14-year-old-suspect-custody-after-houston-farmers/14922142/ Gonna be under the prison for the rest of his life (or getting that final needle jab in Huntsville sometime) over a damn golf cart...holy hell
  9. So she’s the “cool mom” in Friendswood, got it
  10. Live look in at Ohio State Practice, $50 ticket in hand:
  11. Went to the Take Back Texas tour stop in Houston last night and GJ Kinne & Don Coryell got my Maroon and Gold colored glasses on and ready to run thru a brick wall. Been a Bobcat sicko for a long time and never thought Texas State football would have me so fired up in June. Conference title looks within reach and if that happens along with a few other things falling our way...big things are on the table... Also GJ cutting it up with a few of the old SWT "Big Cigars" (who knew SWT/Texas State had Big Cigars at all) about the quote from GJ "Big ass NIL checks" they wrote to help keep the roster mostly together was awesome. I'm sure players like Mahdi, Hobert, Nash Jones and others had some P5 offers/NIL come their way and managed to hang on to them and add more talent depth. Can't wait for August, can't wait to finally get the monkey off our back and fuck up the dirty birds from San Antonio on Sept 7th live from San Marvelous at 3pm on ESPN.....u. I'm starting hydrating for that game now it's gonna be so god damn hot but you bet your ass ill be there.
  12. As if I really needed any more proof that god wasn’t real…
  13. Compared to Waco San Antonio is a damn near utopia…but that’s a very, very low bar to clear. Would much rather hang out with Chuck Barkley’s big women than the Waco alternative
  14. Would assume they would try and get one of the ex-Pac thats in the B1G first, and if that doesn't work out at least get a non rematch from an ex-Pac Big 12 team, but yeah failing those two options rematch defiantly on the table.
  15. Makes me sad to know there’s a segment of so called college football fans (including a few on surly) who don’t think anybody but the top 20-25 “blue bloods” should be playing ball and everyone else should fold up their programs and just play school. Would sorely miss all the awesome atmospheres at smaller programs like this if that were to happen.
  16. That’s a big yikes to whoever thought that boil was up to snuff against ULaLa
  17. Confederate dollars you say...
  18. I for one can't wait for the first school to let that PE genie out of the bottle and watch the shit show unfold as they slowly realize what a terrible idea it was. Worked for a software company that had previously taken "investment" from Vista and came to find out said company was as hollowed out and rotten on the inside as a jack-o-lantern on November 15th...not sure what the equivalent of that is gonna look like in college athletics but it won't be pretty.
  19. There is one sport that there is no argument, Texas State is the blue blood:
  20. Oh wait you are serious aren't you? Here let me laugh even harder The only reason Greg Sankey would give a single shit about the Southland Conference is to make sure it's still there for the lesser SEC schools to get their cupcake win for bowl eligibility.
  21. Our long national nightmare might be over: Nice to read that they seem to want to get things right and represent everyone accurately and not just the blue bloods, will see how it actually shakes out tho
  22. I understand the business logic behind “fuck them G5 schools” that’s a fact of life, just frustrating that EA got it right in 2014 but couldn’t be bothered when the game finally comes back 10 years later. Old man yelling at cloud rant over, will go back to just being happy Texas State is in the game at all and run a dynasty train on everyone even with half a stadium.
