  1. Nothing like Texas Tech vs Iowa State live from Aimes at 7:30pm on a Friday night....
  2. Are they really having this big of money problems up in the Bronx?
  3. Mariners fans having trouble coping with getting owned and swept last year, but this is a new twist: literally putting money in Jim Crane's pocket by buying Astros merch.
  4. Could you get us yesterday's lottery numbers while you are at it? Thanks.
  5. Think I've seen enough, Threads is here to stay
  6. Want to echo this, my brother and myself took our Dad on a Drydock tour for Father's Day and it was awesome:
  7. In some alternate timeline theres an executive at GM that was chomping at the bit to rename the C8 the Fiero...god bless that imaginary executive
  8. Had been having some pretty healthy debate with a friend who works in the Lege about why Texas couldn't do more to provide targeted relief for renters as part of this property tax relief boogaloo including what other states without income taxes have done, and incentivizing landlords to provide the documentation needed to give their renters relief as a condition of them getting property tax relief. His standard answer was always "well we don't have an income tax so we don't know who to send money to" and lo and behold when there some political will to do so (keep all the fixed income, old blue hair, rural folk voting red) the state is gonna try and figure out how to do it... who'd have thunk...
  9. On first blush this seems like a really bad compromise, less rate compression than the original House bill and less total relief dollars than any of the previously offered "plans". Only 3 years worth of relief for the 20% appraisal cap, then what, appraisals shoot back up? Homestead exemption going up to $100K without a plan to limit rate increases on anything not covered by homestead. Shouldn't be surprised by absolutely zero effort made to provide any help to renters, my friend who works for a state rep says "in theory" some of the compression and homestead savings should trickle down to renters but we all know how thats gonna go...
  10. Yeah can't imagine CU, 'Zona, ASU, Utah, Oregon, and Washington would willingly share a conference with UNLV, Boise, SDSU and SMU.
  11. Well who the hell are #1 and #2 in that directors cup then? Could Joseph Smith throw a football over them mountains? These are the real hard hitting questions I think we want the answers to.
  12. The man in the gif clearly states "that's a shame" not sure how you read that as a celebration of injury. Don't worry tho I'm sure the Yankees will bump up Judge's HGH dosage and he will be back to normal much sooner than Tiki Barber thinks...
  13. When you're right you're right, there are definitely millions upon millions of people out there with bad opinions on things they know little/nothing about just looking for an outlet to share them with each other...
  14. google+ also had the misfortune of being created by Google, who are notorious for creating things that sound like good ideas only to half bake the shit out of them and then get bored and kill them off...sometimes within as little as 12-18 months. G+ itself (not all the stupid integrations with everything for no reason) was so half baked I think even that is an insult to people who half bake stuff, more like 1/3 or lower fraction baked...
  15. They are probably working for that one next Legislative session, under his eye of course
  16. Selling everything that I possibly can and buying meta stock based on this, thanks
  17. SDSU about to do “whatever it takes” to get back into a conference…NTTAWWT
  18. Thought it was Cortez who burned his ships when he got to the new world, not the Aztecs…holy hell what a mess SDSU got themselves into.
  19. Hey at least you have this statue outside Globe Life Barn in memory of making it to the World Series once...
