  1. Kid turned into 6'2" offensive lineman and pitcher for his HS baseball team. https://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/Astros-special-place-heart-Jose-Lima-Jr-Junior-14518991.php I had forgotten Limatime died at age 37. Fuck me, that's young. His son was 11. Edit to add I'm talking specifically about Jose Lima Jr. Wikipedia states only the following sentence on his personal life: Lima had at least six children with at least six different mothers. He was married twice
  2. I hope she's a good cook,because being hot as balls isn't enough.
  3. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4722537-intel-not-worth-the-90-billion-price-tag-for-qualcomm Thought this was an interesting article on establishing a valuation for a potential merger with Qualcomm. I don't think there's a chance in he'll of that happening, but interesting nonetheless.
  4. I'm always tempted to buy pork belly at the store, and then the same question pops in my head. "WTF am I going to do with that amount of pork belly?" Did you roast that or smoke it? You've cut it into bacon strips, so are you now going to freeze a good portion of it, or are you planning to eat 10lbs of bacon before it goes bad? The fat clearly isn't rendered, so do you cook it like regular bacon before you eat it? Which then begs the question of why you cooked it the first time. Maybe this belongs in the "cooking stuff you suck at" thread. I suck at finding uses for anything more than about a pound of pork belly.
  5. We tried that with our cat because she kept jumping on the kitchen counters. She'd jump up and be like
  6. Get over yourself. Do you think the signature in his post is referencing a children's book? 2024 The Orangeman Returns with Thunder.
  7. LOL, literally the first thing I thought of when i read the post. All that's missing is a MAGA hat.
  8. Can't you also add the construction cost of the pool to your cost basis when you sell? So if you're on the hook for capital gains, the cost of the pool helps offset that. Obviously YMMV depending on what sort of gains you have, but anyone in the austin area in the same house for 5-6 years likely stands to make a tidy profit when they sell
  9. I've done that before, and it absolutely simplified the process, but I like the crispiness you get when you flip once. Once I flip, I give a 10 count, turn off the heat, then plate the eggs. Comes out medium every time.
  10. These aren't available at all HEBs, but they are available at the Nutty Brown HEB between Dripping Springs and Austin. My 10 and 13 year old boys now request these every Saturday for football watching food. I used to make these by hand, and then they appeared at HEB and saved me a shit ton of time. Edit to add that a quick look on heb.com shows they are available at a lot of Austin stores, but not at the Circle C HEB, which is the other one we frequently shop at.
  11. I do find it interesting they are counting on Bowling Green being a big recruiting weekend. I mean, it makes sense on it's face. But win or lose this weekend, it's not inconceivable they get even more banged up and lose even more depth. Bowling Green will be coming off a bye week after giving Penn St. all they could handle in Happy Valley two weeks before. I'm not saying they're going to lose. But that's not quite the cakewalk they were hoping for.
  12. Me, too. It didn't help.
  13. You forgot one detail. Edit to say I'm wrong on this. McNeese beat Sothern this season, so they've won 1 game since Thanksgiving of 2022. But they did finish with more yards and higher yards per rush vs Aggy than Southern. So they got that going for them, which is nice.
  14. I honestly thought you had somehow altered the language. That's hilarious. Equally hilarious the obvious dig at the dirty sips (aka tu) by saying UT moves into 2nd place. He also predicts the 12 playoff teams, and he's got Northern Illinois as the G5 at-large.
  15. They left off Miss St from the list. Although I'm not sure what a list of bottom feeders that Aggy plays has anything to do with our schedule. It's like they are just now realizing the SEC has bad teams, too.
  16. Pork nachos? Bacon wrapped sausage? Username definitely not checking out.
  17. Any pictures of the stands? I'm curious how many of the best fans in America showed up
  18. Didn't you get the memo? If they can fix Conner's feet, they are playoff bound. Or maybe the secret is to have Klein call up to TexAgs offices and get some advice on who and who not to play.

  20. I apparently botched the story, or you can't read. This was a high school graduation. I assume the girl was 18. She is not my niece. I was there because my niece graduated in the same class. The speaker was reminiscing about a vivid memory from the past. I think it was 5th grade. Maybe it was 6th. 220, 221. My sister rolled her eyes at the comment and at the audience reaction. It was a anecdote to support the notion that young people many times just parrot their parents and don't think for themselves. It wasn't even that good of a story.
  21. I caught a replay of one of her ACL performances a couple of days ago. Simply stunning voice. I couldn't change the channel.
  22. In May I attended my niece's HS graduation in Houston. It's a private school, and one of the speakers was a girl from the senior class. I don't think it was the Valedictorian speech--it was something stupid like speaking on memories from her time at the school because she was one of the few that had been attending since 1st grade. She got to 5th grade, and her favorite memory was watching Trump's Presidential Inauguration, "or what they call in my family 'the best day EVER!'" Half the room applauded. My sister rolled her eyes at me and I said "you're the one who paid to send your daughter here." Let's face it, most of us are influenced by our parents beliefs at an early age. So I'm sure she was excited for the inauguration at age 11 because her dipshit parents were excited. What I don't understand is the inability of people to think independently as they age to understand who has your best interests at stake.
  23. Or smart enough to exit his chair to the right, away from the shards of plate.
