Surly kids who can't get into UT
At LSU he'd go International Trade and Finance. At Texas or UH - Econ. He insists he's going to get rich from trading before graduating, so the cost doesn't matter... I should hand him the bill.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
So... My youngest son got CAP'd. He said he's not doing it. He's leaning LSU then UH. Of course LSU oos ckat is 2x UH, so he's prolly gonna pick that for me.

2026 Surly 10,000 Pushup Challenge
My pushup bros, broettes, and brotheys... This week I incorporated isometric holds at the end of my sets and I highly recommend it. When you get to "I don't think I can do much more" (when we probably have 3 to 5 left, but our minds are weak) do ONE more and stop in the middle of the motion and just hold it... Feel that burn? That the 3 that you quit on. Feel the shake? That's the 5 that you were to weak to push through. I did some research on iso holds and I think I'm going to put them in every exercise to see what I get. It's similar to a wall sit for a squat. And those fn work. Suffer bithces.

Look, I get it... Reed Shepard can get the ball in the basket and he can grab a timely steal... But his on ball defense is terrible. worse than bad Harden defense.... He gives up as much as he scores, or more. I'm ok with him playing, so he can figure out what to work on, not damn he can't stop anyone from driving.

Trump’s America
Studies have shown that the happiest communities are the ones that take care of each other - including allowing others in... That whole inclusivity thing actually makes us happier. Happy is for the weak, I guess.

Came here for this. Dude is so fn bad at derense. I'm damn near 55 and never played organized other than rec leagues, and I feel certain I would be a defensive upgrade if I didn't drink every week and ran for 3 months to get in shape. His feet are fucking planted to the court when someone takes two dribbles at him.

The Pacers went to game 7 of the Finals last year, and now? Rick Carlisle sucks? When Luka is out, the Lakers are trash. When Steph is out... Trash. Kyrie out....Mavs are trash. Ja out? Trash Bears Brunson out? 1-4 Knicks Take the starting PG / Primary ball handler off any team for the season and it's going to hurt... But you don't ransom the future for James Harden's offense. I would prefer to get Reed minutes to get prepared (or traded). I would prefer to let Amen learn the point forward role, which he's doing (to the short term negative impact on his offensive consistency). The failure is not having a true backup pg that understands how to set an offense. That seems just wild to me. But I guess it shouldn't be a surprise if all teams have the same issue.

James Harden and KD...nah. Harden would be even worse for this non-motion offense.

Pause. Green was was a consensus top 2 pick, but didn't develop. That was on coaching, not GM. Eason is good, but can't stay healthy. That's not a GM fail. He was 17th pick and he's better than a bunch of dudes ahead of him. Whitmore was an upside gamble. The talent is definitely there, but the attitude is not. Jabari was projected at the same level as Chet and Banchero. He was the right pick. He is a starter on almost every team in the NBA. Reed is TBD, but I agree his defense is terrible and I wouldn't have drafted him after barely playing at UK. But the Rockets wanted a pure shooter. He's that. The spurs have fucking Wemby. OKC is good because the Clippers are the fucking Clippers. Chill out. The Rockets are on a path, they just have a PG and it shows.

He drafted Green, Sengun, Thompson, Eason. Smith. Those were all good picks. Tari hasn't been healthy and I don't know what happened to Smith. I'm sure he wanted Banchero, but he was gone.

NFL Black Monday, 2026
She also said they love Deion and he was a loser.... But what she didn't say is he was a racist or that anyone else said he was a racist. You made that leap.

NFL Black Monday, 2026
He was a loser in CLE and people in ATL (allegedly) didn't like how he handled the son of one of the greatest Falcons of all time when it appears that son is a better prospect than two (Gabriel and Pickett) of of 5 QBs on the team... That's not racism. Thats favoritism / Fandom.

Homemade Pizza Tips...Just the Tips
I love pizza. Just came back from Portugal. Had five pizzas. Some better than others. I didn't make it to the "Top 10 in Europe" place because reasons. I've decided to get back into keto, so I'm sad... But I did just make a "pizza" using a keto tortilla and all the rest of the good stuff... OK, not all of the good stuff, because I didn't want to open a jar of sauce or defrost my homemade tomato sauce... So I used ketchup. It worked. Tortilla, ketchup, Italian blend herbs, garlic powder, Pepperoni, two types of Salami, three cheeses, red onion, green olives... Convection baked at 500 until it looked ready. Roast me. I don't care, it was easy and scratched the itch. I always want pizza. I saw a guy with a totinos at the store yesterday, and I was envious. For my Houston peeps that like thin crust, check out Nonno's Pizza on Richmond. I wish I hadn't found this thread.
