  1. Some friends moved to Colorado last summer so their kids enrolled in 4th and 7th grade there this fall. They went to Gullett and Lamar, so AISD “A” schools. Both were great students. Their new Colorado schools tested them to see where they were at academically. They don’t trust scores from Texas. Both were significantly behind for their grade level. Luckily, they both got back on grade level at the end of the first 9 weeks. Their parents were definitely shocked since the older kid never made a grade below 98 and was in all advanced classes and the younger one never struggled for one minute in school. The younger kid was so far behind, the school tested her for learning disabilities just to be safe. Now, Mrs. Brown is freaking out that we’re ruining our kid by leaving her at Lamar and not just taking her out of state.
  2. That sounds like some woke math.
  3. Ewers was ass. Nothing changes that. However, Manning is a herpes crusted ass spewing diarrhea all over the field at a cost of $4M+ per year.
  4. If Arch isn’t gone, all our backups are gone.
  5. The 100-200 students that sign up for gender studies at each university are god fearing red blooded conservatives that can have their entire worldview destroyed in less than 3 hours a week?
  6. Downy Chick? Corky approved.
  7. You know the answer to that.
  8. I've been using AI to write Python code for about two years. Claude is the best one for it. I shouldn't even be writing code in my role but I can get it done in minutes using AI instead of handing it off to staff to spend hours doing it. It would take me longer to type an email with the business requirements than to just iterate through it with AI until it work perfectly.
  9. Yeah, I'm going to have to resod in the spring. I've put off getting a sprinkler system since it's never been much of an issue but this drought has killed off my Bermuda turf. It's not even brown, it's blown away and it's just a dirt field.
  10. I'll bet Father Brian was happy to see you. At least he was into chicks. That progress for the Catholic Church.
  11. Much ado about nothing. So, 24% of young people attend church...a number that is barely higher than current Millennials and Gen Xers that have already given up on organized religion. By the time these kids are 40, they'll have the lowest church attendance of any generation. According to survey data from the Barna Group, a Christian research organization, Gen Z-ers who go to church are more frequent attendees than churchgoers from older generations. Twenty-four percent of Gen Z-ers go to church every week (a slightly higher rate than for millennials and Gen X-ers).
  12. Is there a Titans game in Nashville next weekend? That would drive up the prices.
  13. If everyone is homeless and we are spending $30,000+ per homeless person, we then have Universal Income.

    They didn’t announce a sellout tonight. Is the streak over?

    Why’d the ref call off the extra time? I’ve never seen that before.
  16. Wisner had 7 carries for 37 yards after that 34 yard run.
  17. Yes but they’re exclusively for the homeless on stolen bikes.
  18. I’m voting against it. There’s no need to send more money down the homeless money pit. Whether the budget is $0 or $100M nothing changes.
  19. Was Theodore Assman not available?
  20. Good stuff. Is there a cap on golden pennies that forces you to use the copper pennies bucket that is subject to additional recapture?
  21. Got NIN tickets for Moody. I was under 1,000 in the queue and all the floor and decent lower bowl tickets were gone to the bots by the time I bought tickets.
  22. I thought that the recapture amount was calculated without regard to your tax rate. Otherwise, you could just set your tax rate to bringing exactly what you are allowed to keep and not pay any money to recapture.
  23. Being gay is a political ideology? Isn’t he the dumbass that named I-35 in Austin, Trump Highway?
  24. I have 25% of my portfolio in GLD. 50% VOO, 25% VXUS. I like it as a hedge against VOO. When VOO is down, GLD is usually up. But, often when VOO is up, so is GLD. lt performs so well, I just let it ride.
