I have a pair of crocodlie tecovas (black and not quite $2k) and I love them and they are about a year old. They were a gift and they slam and go hard. I've got some of the cheap spectrum tecovas that are about 6 or 7 years old at this point and they aren't falling apart is the best I can say for them. Maybe with all the VC or PE money they got their quality has gone up is all I can surmise from my experience.

"Let's Go Crazy" and "Enter Sandman" are top notch choices. Let's bring in some favorites from 90s/00s EDM... it's a shame the Orbital song doesn't go nearly as hard as its intro

Goddam, I gotta pick some up, haven't had that in forever. Back when I was a kid, we celebrated all things Kraft. Miracle Whip, Sandwich Spread, Kraft Singles and this were always in our fridge (yes, we were po, dirt po):

Thank you for the post and this is more consistent with the churches I attended. We were always taught to pray about everything. Pray for your sick grandmother, pray for your test in school, pray for missing dog to be found, pray for yourself to not sin so much, pray for your plane to land safely, pray for your favorite sports team to win (always seems absurd but people legit do it). I’m still left wondering what the point is. To use the most recent example of the flooding, two families with nearly identical religious beliefs can pray equally hard to the same God for the safe return of their child. One family gets their child back, the other does not get their child back. One family says God answered their prayers and the other family says ??? Does the first family think they influenced God’s ultimate decision to spare their child? If that’s true, then what was wrong about the second family or their prayers that God decided “nice try but I have a different plan for your child”? As a poster said above, is there a prayer threshold that must be met for a request to be granted? Below that line is no good? Seems like that is obviously wrong because bad things happen to good people even when an overwhelming amount of prayer is involved. And then at the same time, non-Christian people will have good things happen without praying at all. Every day in America, a Christian family loses a child to cancer and an atheist family has their child cured. What tangible benefit do people think they are getting out of prayer any more so than just hoping good thoughts to no one in particular? It all seems so arbitrary, like a fortune cookie. Like to a non-believer, it could easily seem like no one is listening or the deity in charge is not interested in what we think. Again, I don’t mean any disrespect with my questions, but this seems like the only thread to get serious discussion on this topic.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
atomheartbevo replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Meanwhile I’m getting ads for Grok 4 I have an old racing-related Twitter account. If it searches user history for its responses, maybe I can get it to start talking shit about Dale Earnhardt or Tony Stewart. That’ll get some people going. -
After typing the above I think I get the conflict which comes from the word I used "value". I think the reason the league is rejecting Clark (like the body rejects a transplanted organ needed to live) is because the implication that they are not valuable. A lot of ink has been spilled about how crappy WNBA was before Clark-- all the same business metrics on revenue and salaries and attendance and popularity in the gutter) and the implication and unsaid message I think they are hearing is: "you women are not valuable", "you, as an individual basketballer, are not valuable", and "you, without Caitlin Clark, are not valuable". And not to get too political or controversial, but it seems like it's an easy leap to go from that to, "black, queer women are not valuable", and "without a straight white hope, a queer black league is not valuable" And when people feel devalued it's a core identity crisis and emotional and psychological issue that can be existential. So that helps explain to me why it feels irrational -- because when most people feel that deeply wounded, most aren't going to respond with logic and math. I could be way off but just a thought that unlocked for me as I wrote the last post and that word "value" jumped out at me.

The right wing propaganda machine is very strong. I thought his disastrous buffoonery in 2017-2021 woke people up but I was very wrong. He could destroy the economy, isolate us diplomatically, get us into war, collapse our population, and destroy government services and people will still think he is great. I appreciate the Leopards eating Faces thread but really it is all cope. We cannot deal with the fact we are a loser nation of brainwashed idiots, so well tell ourselves they will come around. They won't. At least not any time soon.

To be clear, the elevation proximate to the river is a much bigger issue than the distance to the river. Google Earth screenshot near Hunt, TX, near the confluence of the North & South Forks of the Guadalupe River. The Guadalupe River is at a 1770' Elevations as shown by Yellow Point upstream (south) of Camp La Junta. The orange lines are at a 1791' Elevation, 21 feet above the "normal" S. Guadalupe River level. I used 21 level as that level is the approximate level that separates Camp La Junta from the surrounding hills to the east (1990' Elevation). This 21' increment is much lower that the rise in river levels that just flooded. Everything between the orange lines would have been under water at a minimum, including part of Hunt, TX. Note that Highway 39 would have been under water at Hunt, cutting off any access to Kerrville. Realistically, cutting of any access to anything, in or out. Screenshot of a wider area. Highway 39 from Hunt runs south and west, ending at Highway 83, 28 miles from Hunt. Kerrville's population is ~ 24,000; Bandera is less than 3,000 people. Not much else beyond that. There is not another town between Hunt and Highway 83. I looked for a ranch out here for 3 years before I bought mine, including the ranch where the Guadalupe River originates, and drove along the river all the way to Kerrville. Nothing but expensive (for me) vacation properties and second homes right on the river. This part of the Hill Country is among the most remote, the least populated, and the most scenic, surrounded by state parks and recreation areas, and private camps. I can look west across the Sabinal River valley, and not see any sign of civilization, other than radio towers on the horizon. We watched the 2004 Rose Bowl at a Mr. Gattis in Kerrville, and drove to Utopia via Hunt, past La Junta and Camp Mystic, and Vanderpool. I haven't been on that road since. Probably the most nauseous drive I've ever been on. Nothing but curvy roads going up the hills and down the valleys for 40 miles. This is Charlie Wilson's demographic, w/ 10% of the population.

there was some sargassum towards the mia reef hotel, but if you go down PN it was crystal clear... PDC on the other hand was a cesspool. Puerto Morelos was really clean

The only thing we have going for us right now is that people who are fine with a dictator usually insist on a competent dictator. Trump with no one to provide guard rails is such an incompetent buffoon that our economy and relationships with former allies will be fucked up so catastrophically that people will think fondly of the Joe Biden robot. American should get used to being thought of as asshole leopards once they get outside of the USA. It will take decades for the world to forgive us for this shit show that is the Trump administration (which is doing its best to destroy the world’s economies).

It’s a great honor to be here in Texas. I love Texas. They voted for me unlike the communist California where Gavin Newsome keeps starting fires. This flood was so bad that it happened on America’s birthday. People are saying that Cheating Obama and Crooked Joe Biden both tried to fix this river and failed. The socialist democrats missed their chance to make this river safe because they don’t care about Texas. I love Texas. And you know what? Elon should have done more to prevent this but he was too busy playing with his electric cars and crashing rockets. People should have a choice in what they drive which is why I signed the Big Beautiful Bill to get rid of electric cars. Solar too. Our bill is so beautiful and it will make sure that no ugly solar panels or windmills will ever get built at Camp Mystic. The democrats wanted this to happen so they can turn it into a wind farm but I won’t let them. You know what else is beautiful? Kristi Noem. I love her and she has helped rebuild Texas already so we can Make Texas Great Again. I’m going to make this valley more safe and beautiful than it’s ever been and then young Texas girls can work here again instead of Sleepy Joe Biden’s illegal immigrants that previously worked at Camp Mystic before they drowned. Let’s all thank Tom Homan for making sure they don’t come back. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Yep, I think we have a dynamic and situation, which is kinda interesting (or strange/weird, depending on your view) where we have fans and people who are MORE protective and upset and disturbed by the "hazing" or whatever you'd characterize as a catch-all word for all the garbage she's having to deal with being put on her by her inferiors in the league, than even she (the actual person being put through the crap firsthand) is. I think that actually points to her awesome character and mental fortitude and strength-- and it's likely the privilege of having a great support system, starting from her family and community probably when she was an amateur, which has been supplemented now with the best business and strategist minds money can buy from Nike, professional agents, media teams, etc.

I remember when you were in on the drive through booze concept. Tell me about the 18 wheeler repair concept? If you get shitcanned you might consider being forced into the repair shop over the job slinging tech. But considering how repairs go, I'm not sure what kind of hook you're on in regards to replacement parts from China. A buddy of mine started a side hustle doing custom forks for small electric bikes. Business been great, but the uncertainty of when and how often he can get product has been more than just a mild headache.

If another job, I'll keep slinging tech. If I'm going the ETA route, it could be anything. As an example I had considered an 18 wheeler repair facility three years ago, but just couldn't shake the consistent income at the time. I considered going in with a buddy expanding on his South American OFS company, but got some guidance from Surly friends on why he and I should avoid Bolivia. Almost started a drive thru frozen drink deal before COVID. Glad I didn't, because the laws changed and every restaurant is now a to go margarita shop. I can learn a playbook for just about anything and direct people to follow it.

Receipts. Is this information handy anywhere? I'd like to share it with certain groups that would find that very interesting. Squeaky wheels and all. Doesn't sound like the county's elected officials differ very much on their political views. Mrs. C-Man said he's touring the area from the air. Not even going to go boots on the ground.

I think he's going to take the complete opposite position he had with the California fires. Mr. President, what about the funds provided by Obama and Biden that were turned down?? What a nasty question. Look, none of that would have helped. We are talking about a 500 year. Maybe never flood. Who are you with? MSDNC? Just horrible

Cunningham and Fien are gone. Cozart is up in the air, I would call it 60/40 on him not making it to campus. We are watching two portal guys Freeman and Moroknek as well

RE: prayer I went to a memorial held for a teenager who drowned over July 4th. The family and loved ones and friends seemed to appreciate and feel comfort and love through all the prayer prompts and worship and outpouring of prayer. Aside from the technical and spiritual debates that go levels deeper, on the surface providing that relief to them alone seems like a strong enough use case for prayer.

Got busy and forgot to post upon returning. After 2 visits, this is easily one of my favorite places on Earth and I’m already looking forward to the next time. We’ve bummed around the Mediterranean a fair bit - Corsica, Mallorca, Ibiza, Sardinia, Barcelona, Saint-Tropez, Cinque Terre, Croatia - and I really love each of them in different ways, but for me, Corsica is the complete package that offers natural beauty, varied landscapes, great food and wine, cleanliness, interesting culture, and overall friendly people. If you like beaches, there is so much to offer and most of them have fine white sand, calm turquoise water, and very little seaweed or trash. Just clean and peaceful. June was still technically low season and the weather was nice (highs upper 70s, lows mid 60s) but without significant crowds. I’m hoping our next trip we will get to take our now 2.5 year old daughter. Might wait a couple years so she can handle long travel better, but then we can make it a longer trip and do more stuff. We’ve driven through the mountainous interior of the island but we haven’t done much there and I’d like to explore some of the mountain hikes, natural pools, and canyoning.

Gotcha, Clemson should be really good this year with Klubnik being the pre-season messiah to go #1 overall with some folks.

NBA Offseason Thread 2025 - Fuck OKC
Mitch Cumsteen replied to Message Board User's topic in Basketball
I'm not as high on him as you are, but I do think he's going to be a special player. I don't see either of those two in him. Lebron was a physical freak of nature since he was like 12 years old. Bird was an offensive machine with impeccable instincts. Flagg is one of those guys where the ball just somehow always magically finds him. I don't know how much of an offensive mismatch he's going to be, but I do know that he is going to impact the game pretty much everywhere. John Havlicek was the best comp I could come up with - a guy who does everything and impacts winning everywhere. Dallas is going to be an interesting rebuild. Before the inexplicable Doncic disaster, I thought Nico Harrison did an unbelievable job remaking that roster. They had a bad cap situation, very little draft capital, and he shrewdly managed to put together a team that made it to the finals. Other than the Grant Williams deal (that he quickly rectified), he made one great move after another. He took a relatively terrible roster that was a poor fit around Luka and completely remade it. I thought he was one of the best GM's in the league until he temporarily went insane.
