I've been a sucker for Williams and Zimmer since my middle school band days 2 decades ago.

Hans Zimmer on 1/31 at Moody. Anyone been to one of his shows?

Mountain Lion Struck by Vehicle in Longview
Katy was wolf country a century ago. Now its... Katy. Still some decent chunks of remnant prairie out there though.

Mountain Lion Struck by Vehicle in Longview
It seems unlikely in the late 20th and early 21st century that a jaguar, much less a melanistic one is wandering through Texas. And if melananistic mountain lions existed, I would think there would be some photographic evidence of that. I believe that's what 956W is stating, and I tend to agree. Also, people are really dumb when it comes to wildlife sightings.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
If you, or someone you live with, is not white, smaller cities in the US are not for you. I was forced to give them a chance and it took all of a month before we had racist vandalism on our car, driveway, mailbox. Small town America can eat a dick.

Trump’s America
I don't think my wife is going to be deported. But I'm not sure what the fuck is going to happen, and it's absurd that it's even a question. Also, I'm sure there are foreign adoptees whose citizenship status is less clear. Just an angle of this thing that I haven't seen or heard discussed anywhere.

Trump’s America
Currently a citizen herself, obviously. But is there any way in this fucked up country that they would attempt to revoke citizenship?

Trump’s America
Question: My wife was born in the US to a non-citizen, although I believe she was here legally. She was adopted right after birth. How much should we be personally worried about this birthright citizenship bullshit?

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
I would say that Oregon has been nationally relevant for a couple of decades, long before NIL.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
Is there a school with money that hasn't historically been a major player that has the ability and interest to take advantage of the changing landscape and become somewhat of a regular contender?

Seems like a dangerous game for Duke to be playing.

Surly Dad Thread
We inherited one of those from a friend for our 2nd child. They're great, but I probably looked like a kidnapper when I tried to fold it up the first time. Because why figure it out before being in public?

I Belize we need this topic....
What are people's experiences renting a car and driving inland? I'm looking at Black Rock Lodge and Lamanai for a possible trip with friends in a year or so.

So about the South Korea Trump like coup
South Korea has a lot of problems, but they don't go crying "Lawfare!" when their current/former presidents are criminally charged for corruption.

The Texpatriates Thread
2030ish is when we hope to get out of here too, before the kids are too entrenched in school. We're still very early on in figuring out where we might be headed. Sounds like you've done more research. What drew you to FC?

South Korea's president declares martial law - WTF is going on?
I was aware that this was a problem in Korea, but hadn't read much about it. I'm sure our resident incels are taking notes from their eastern counterparts. Or maybe we can just trade some of our men for their women? Everyone wins! https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/07/01/south-korea-gender-divide-feminism-00155207

Moana II
I've read Blood & Thunder and On Frozen Ground, so I definitely like the author. Newborn and toddler have my brain feeling like mush at the moment, but one day soon I'll be ready to put down my phone and read a real book again. Back to Moana II discussion...

Moana II
Best song from original Moana for sure. All those YouTube views of that video on my phone are definitely because my 2 year-old wanted to hear it all the time, and not because I want to imagine I'm exploring the remote Pacific hundreds of years ago for 2 minutes instead of being trapped in a concrete hellscape.

The Texpatriates Thread
I forget if Fort Collins has been mentioned on this thread. I don't know much about it, but it appears to have solid schools, is affordable-ish, and close to RMNP and ski areas. I'm sure wildfires and future water supply could be a concern. Raising a family and getting outdoors being my primary requirements, as mentioned upthread. Anybody spent time there?

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
Is Clemson recruiting truly imploding or am I missing something? 14 commits and they suck at the portal. God's name, image and likeness not the recruiting pitch Dabo expected it to be?

The Texpatriates Thread
We wanted to remain in the Austin area for my wife's work and to be near family, so we bought a house in Round Rock 2 years ago. While it will be nice to have my parents around while the kids are young (currently 2.5 and newborn), we can't wait to ditch the state. This isn't financially feasible at the moment, but it is likely that our financial outlook becomes much more positive before the kids are out of elementary school. We're a mixed-race family (Asian-White), so diversity would be great, want good public grade schools and decent options for college, easy access to nature, hospitals for wife's job, cooler temps and obviously a better political climate (as much as can be expected for the next 4 years). Initial thoughts have been NC, Oregon, Washington state, Colorado (wife grew up in the Springs, doesn't want to return there) and possibly Minneapolis. Thoughts?

Do we have a moving out of Texas thread? It's going to take some time to be in a financial situation for us to do so, but we will have much more flexibility in a few years and are interested in options. Would like a good place to raise kids, outdoor activities nearby and decent diversity. Where would you send us?
