  1. Oasis is adding some extra Wembley shows with controlled ticket prices to make up for the ticketing clusterfuck. Only those who were logged in to Ticketmaster UK and got kicked out of the queue are in the lottery for tickets. Just got the email that I am one of them. Hopefully I get selected to buy tickets.
  2. Guess that shine is off Traylor. Hope he milks UTSA for as much money as possible because that’s going to be his last college HC job.
  3. They can now "accidently" mail the old ballots out and then discard the results because the voter used an invalid ballot.
  4. Saw Kishi Bashi at Mohawk last night. I like some of his stuff but he puts on a fantastic live show. It was one of the better shows I've seen this year.
  5. When I used to fly to Tulsa weekly, about a quarter of the plane was Accenture staff going to Bartlesville for the week. My impression was that they couldn't get the staff they needed in Bartlesville so they'd been outsourcing it to Accenture for years. I guess they just kept some business there for political reasons.
  6. Some Trumpers in my hood have a homemade plywood sign that says "TRUMP". They are ultra Christian nationalists, homeschool their seven kids, the dad ran for the state board of education on the platform of abolishing public school, etc. Someone spray painted on it "We support adultery". It's been a few days and it's still up.
  7. The hate Americans have for fellow Americans is the defining trait of our country.
  8. These are surprisingly good cooked in an air fryer...
  9. My kid proudly mailed off her voter registration today. She turns 18 a few days before the election. Gen Z is ready to save America from the boomers while us Gen Xers get black out drunk on election night.
  10. Apparently, everyone in the UK is going to the 17 shows. When I attempted to get tickets, I was 375,000th in the queue. When I got to the front of the queue, I was kicked back out to the beginning and was 120,000th in line. I guess I'll wait for the North American tour if they don't murder each other by then.
  11. I like the admission that a 1 score game with time on the clock is a lost cause.
  12. Met Terrell Davis yesterday, who is an ambassador for the CSU athletic department, whatever that means. That dude is still jacked AF. He was drinking Yuengling.
  13. Well, at least we don’t have to worry about a PL title and can focus on the Champions League.
  14. I think this is the case. I doubt there are many people worth $100M that actually have the majority of their wealth in their own name. If not, it'd be really easy to move assets to a trust to avoid the tax.
  15. The worst thing about this world is the fucking names. Say what you want about GRRM but he was very good at inventing names that were easy to pronounce and remember. Tolkien is all Gwyyndwethior marched towards Morigatqypkk with the Akkcvbnm wizard, Onegiop’zeriiy, at his side.
  16. Jack does not give a fuck while giving all the fucks. Gruntled.
  17. Nate Silver got lucky with one poll years ago and his models have been complete shit since then.
  18. Ticket prices were released and they’re not bad at all… Cardiff, London, Edinburgh Pitch Standing – £135.00 (face value) plus fees Seats – £65 (face value) plus fees Seats – £90 (face value) plus fees Seats – £115 (face value) plus fees Seats – £150 (face value) plus fees Seats – £185 (face value) plus fees Premium Standing Package – £195 (face value) plus fees Premium Seat Package – £250 (face value) plus fees
  19. Some utilities and pipeline companies that used to have a pension, have replaced it with a 401K match + a profit sharing contribution. Where I used to work, we had the standard 6% 401k match and we also had a 5% profit sharing 401k contribution. That was implemented 20 years ago to replace the pension. You could look around at companies and see if any offer a version of that. That 11% company contribution was awesome and the only reason I stayed over 15 years.
  20. I'll probably grab London tickets. They're doing four dates at Wembley. It shouldn't be an issue getting tickets.
  21. I don't give a shit about LOTR lore. Just entertain me with a decent plot and coherent storytelling.
  22. RBFCU? There are like 3 registers that will read my debit card chip at the Allandale HEB. The self check out worker said that RBFCU always has problems with their readers.
  23. Only Murders in the Building is back tonight.
