  1. Would have been nice to have today. Our neighborhood power "blipped" every 5-7 minutes for a couple hours until Centerpoint could find the faulty equipment.
  2. Don't forget the $0.18/gallon the Feds want as well. All in Texans paying $0.384/gallon. At 25mpg would be 13k miles a year.
  3. Yes, the MDF merger was something I forgot about but it tracks for all their current issues and the shift from an engineering culture to MBA culture.
  4. Quotes now (south of Houston) are all saying I'm looking at February install if I sign contract now...
  5. Very well done video. Pretty damning for Boeing and their future. When you have one of the astronauts asigned to help and oversee the process with Boeing say he's not willing to fly on Starliner... it's incredible.
  6. pictures of some of the damage to nearby homes: (from https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/09/19/photos-a-closer-look-into-the-damages-left-by-pipeline-fire-in-deer-park/)
  7. Korea flavor.. didn't know what to expect, but they are outstanding and very addictive:
  8. It's a little easier sell given that in the past 10 years they've had 7 first round CBs drafted and will likely have another one in the upcoming draft. It's actually a pretty incredible run of top talent.
  9. Two things, he wanted to leave the state. Wanted to be far enough from home to "be on his own". He also wanted to go where he would be developed for the NFL, he didn't feel Texas was that place. His quote was: "Coming out of Texas is best for me because I feel like that's where the best DBs go. No disrespect to all those Texas schools down there — I mean, I go down and I see them all and I have fun with them. But I feel like me and the talent I have, I feel like coming to a school like Ohio State or Alabama, that's where I'm going to get developed." He said Ohio State pursed him harder than anyone else and felt like home from day one. No ties originally. This was mainly just a case of a kid being smart enough to know that a couple hundred miles from home wasn't far enough for him to have the life he wanted.
  10. Deboer is a good coach and teams with better rosters tend to win. Until recruiting drops off, Alabama is going to be fine. For #2 there are way more "have nots" than "haves" and the open season NIL window will be closed at some point soon IMO. There be limits/changes to NIL that will minimize the gap.
  11. lol... top is Hy-Vee? lol... Hy-vee has publically stated they won't enter Texas because of HEB and the loyalty it has.
  12. likely the customer service (hoping)... I'm in similar "watch" hell with Verizon and am going to a store this weekend to try and get fixed. I have a new Pixel 9 phone and bought a new Pixel Watch 3 LTE, both from Google. I upgraded my phone with Verizon no problem. I'm now trying to add my watch into the mix. I know I need an additional line but want it to do the number share where can answer/text as if from my phone's number. Customer service is telling me I can't do it unless I buy the watch from Verizon... with "bring your own device" there is no way to do it... Update: went to Verizon store and the connected my watch in 15 mins....all good now I really have phone/chat/online support. It's just typically a big FU experience for customers.
  13. The paranoia has to be off the charts. Israel just needs to leak that the papers and walkie-talkies were bugged with gps and microphones and they are tageting missile strikes now to push them over the edge.
  14. Best "Worst" case you're all clear and won't go back for 10 years. Worse case you will glad you did it earlier rather than later. It's a no lose situation and you get propofol (make sure you are getting propofol).....
  15. If you are going to create an epic saga like Horizon, you have to have a solid soundtrack. It doesn't. It's just ok.
  16. Finally a name I could see Florida actually going after that might say yes. Plus is would lead to speculation that Elko would be in the mix for Penn State and if nothing else force A&M to give him a raise and giant new contract.
  17. So is IRS considered an organization or no?
  18. Apparently there isn't enough money in football to pay players, we now need to add more money in to pot.
  19. Not being able to find it/know of it is a sign of how disappointing it has been
  20. I like what I've see so far and without questioning we're fielding a better defense - player and scheme wise, but with PK the test is going to be against a good passing offense. We won't see one of those until Georgia. Actually that looks like the only time we will see one until playoffs.
