  1. It's telling that their expectations of Texas are such that anything short of a national championship in ANY sport, is seen as "choking." While their only expectation for a successful season of their own teams, is hopefully to beat the sips. Or, at least keep the losses close during a 3-game sweep.
  2. This is insulting. We can understand it and simply not agree with you that it's best. Only Sith deal in absolutes. Again, more insults. And regarding the highlighted, the exact same can be said of Episode 1. Kids love that movie. Kids love Ani, they love the pod races, they love the silly droid army, and bless their hearts, many of them even love Jar Jar. Your sad devotion to the machete order is doing the exact same thing, forcing your own opinions of what is relevant or worthy onto kids who will absolutely love Episode I. But that's just one problem with introducing new people to Star Wars using the machete order. I recommend release order because that's the way the story was actually built, and it makes the most sense that way. Every movie was made with the knowledge of the movies released before it, and that seeps into each film. Skipping around messes with that natural flow of understanding. Beyond that, the differences in style, special effects, and aesthetics, are very different from the original trilogy to the prequels. Almost two decades of huge industry changes in movie-making are contained within the prequels. I understand that you like machete order but I think it's jarring to intersperse the newer and stylistically very different prequels 2 and 3, in the midst of the original trilogy. I think that's an okay way to watch for people who've seen them many times, but when introducing to children I think it can be confusing. You're free to have a difference of opinion but attacking people who don't agree with you as being gatekeepers or olds is a weird take. My kids watched 4,5,6, then 1,2,3, and then 7,8,9 in theaters. They're now huge Star Wars fans and love the universe. They were delighted with the order in which they learned it.
  3. I always suggest release order. Each movie builds in some way on the knowledge of the movies before it. If you've already seen them all then machete is fine. But if you've already seen them all then you're probably just going to pick and choose your favorites anyway.
  4. It's a mix. Tesla uses LFP for their shortrange model 3 and Y, and NMC for the longer range versions. Rivian uses LFP. Chevy Equinox and Blazer use NMC, Nissan Leaf has historically used NMC but is supposed to be switching to LFP in 2026, BMW i3 uses NMC.

    I can't go there and NOT get the spicy fish filets. So good.
  6. The ags have won roughly 33% of the football games they've played against Texas. But they've won 100% of the football games never played against Texas. \
  7. What did you just call me, pendejo?
  8. Most importantly, how are their tortillas?
  9. Uh oh, this one's gonna get banned for actually understanding how things work...
  10. Yeah was gonna chime in with similar info. It can take twice as long to charge from 80-100, as it did from 10-80. So for some use cases it's more realistic to assume you're only charging to 80% each time. If this thing could actually get to a true capacity of 150 miles I'd find it compelling for a variety of personal and fleet applications. Even at 120 it'd be interesting. If it's less than 100 then it gets quite a bit less interesting for most of those applications.
  11. Oh yeah. Kipper snacks. Salted/brined herring in a tin, like sardines. I could devour a couple of tins of those in one sitting, with saltines or club crackers. Sometimes cocktail sauce too, if I were feeling fancy.
  12. Oh the mental gymnastics these rubes force themselves to engage in, to declare that it's been known since his TCU days that Schloss is a POS, and yet that's exactly who they hired. But like everything else, when the ags do it, that's okay...
  13. I'm all for it. Anything that involves that putrid program losing painfully, count me in.
  14. Normally I'd get the measles vaccine. But then I thought, when am I ever going to get back to the Mennonite community in West Texas?
  15. Radar shows yellow and red passing over my house right now. In reality, not a single drop. It's missing just to the north and east. Same as it ever was.
  16. Actually, it's Jar Jar Binks.
  17. But totally worth it.
  18. My mom always liked to toss some leftover cornbread in a tall glass of cold buttermilk as a desert after dinner. If there was any cornbread left. We were some selfish kids and she often didn't get to enjoy that.
