  1. Sadly, a lot of school districts choose to let the pervert resign so they don't have to report it and take the time to go to court. If you remember several years ago a Memorial coach was jailed for this and when it came out that there were allegations at other schools, the girl sued those schools. I don't remember the outcome of the lawsuits. My favorite professor at Lamar, Coach John Payton, always told us to never be alone with any of your students. I have lived by his advice now for 33 years.

  4. There's really no point engaging with that poster. He's a troll, he has a stage 5 case of TDS, he's been banned multiple times and keeps coming back creating new user accounts/names, thumbs his nose at forum rules and the moderators, and the best he has to offer is some drive-by post to try and stir things up. Meh.

    That is easy to say, but I'm not sure more perception than reality. Trust me, my Dad built me a 65 Mustang from the ground up and gave to me for my 16th birthday in 1982, custom paint job and all.....so I know where you're going, but.... My work Truck is a 2011 Ford F150 Lariat 5.0 Coyote engine......When I parked her at work today, her milage was 309800. She has original engine and transmission. I don't recall 1960's or 1970's vehicles getting that kind of milage out of original engine. The only things that don't work are key fob....cause my ex-wife washed it...SMH - and the rearview camera (cause I don't wanna fix it) I don't drive her any further than I want to toe her home......but she makes he drive from Port Arthur to Vidor 5 days a week, plus around town on the weekends.

    Houston wins 3-1. Astros have won 6 of their last 8. This is as close to .500 (39-43) as the Astros have been since April 16 when they were 8-12.

  14. Except, that's a lie beyond belief. The entire Iran military is gone, with the exception of a few random drones they still have hidden and even those have all but disappeared. The entire Iran leadership is gone, except for one or two that has to stay in hiding and cant travel freely or even use a cell phone. The entire Iran nuke stockpile is essentially gone, reduced to dust by the bunker busters. The entire Iran nuke enrichment labs are gone, reduced to rubble. Iran's ability to control the straight is gone. Iran's ability to rebuild is gone. The potential for Iran to become a nuke power is completely gone. The world is in awe of the US military, and the world now knows the former US Muslim president and the US dementia president is gone.

  16. Houston is halfway thru the season. (81 games). They are 38-43 (.469), 5 games under .500. Astros were season high of 11 games under .500 on May 20 (20-31). Since then Houston has gone 18-12 (.600) Astros are currently 3.5 back of division leader Seattle and 2 games back of final wildcard spot. In the 81 games played, Houston has used 79 different lineups due to injuries. They have played an MLB high of 49 players. Offensively: Astros are currently 16th (7th in AL) in hitting with a team batting average of .244. OBA of .318, SLG at .414 and OPS of .732. All those rank in top 10 of MLB. After the first 40 games of season, Astros were hitting around .265 and were top 3 in every offensive category. Last 40 games the offense has dropped to middle of the pack. Pitching: Houston is 27th in MLB (13th in AL) in team ERA at 4.81. OBA is .243 and WHIP is 1.41. In the first 50 games of season Houston's team ERA was around 6.4. Over the last 30 they have cut over 1.5 runs off the ERA. Houston pitching is definitely getting better and that is a very good sign for the rest of the season. Astros have 17 more games till All-Star break. If they can manage to get to .500 or better by that time, I really think Houston will have a great shot at making playoffs considering how the rest of the division is playing and how most of the AL is playing. The trend is a positive one.

    Interesting analysis in the studio show after the game. Described as not a huge win, but after giving up the lead the Stros avoided a big loss. Nice to see Pena's "cramp" yesterday was likely really a cramp. Never trust a MLB team discussing player Health.

  23. I did and should of kept it, but traded it in for a 2012 Ford F150 Ecoboost - biggest piece of junk I have ever purchased new. I had to replace timing chain at 94K. The 2011 I’m referring to I bought my son in high school. I paid 15,500 drive out and it had 100k miles on it. When he went to college, I took his truck and traded in my 2012 piece of crap and got him a new car because he was going to Texas State. I wanted to make sure he had something dependable since I would be about five hours away.

  24. I am not old enough to know about 70's culture, but late 80's and 90's I miss the way women looked. Almost none of them were tatted and pierced or had dyed blue hair. I saw a woman in a club this week. She had gigantic tatted wings covering up her back, and multiple tatts everywhere else. Fugly.

    The curse lives on. My wife and I have been to at least one Astros game a year starting in 2019 (except 2020 of course) and they have lost every single one. Brought our 2 year old daughter to her first game on Saturday, but she was not enough to break our family's bad juju smh.

  30. Issue the U.S. has--I may/may not have mentioned previously--is that most of our refineries are set up to process heavy, sour crude. We haven't made the investments to be able to process our own WTI. That should be a priority, and would be a good use of incentive funding for national security purposes. Just get us to at least a 60/40 spit.

    They focus on trying to matchup teams in the same division with similar records. They also try to have teams play other areas of the state they normally wouldn't be able to see in the season. The better smaller schools will sometimes play up division teams. Like for Onalaska we play 2 4A teams and the 3A state champ. It is not perfect but with how many teams are in it, I can see why it becomes a struggle at times.

  44. I like $2.49 a gallon better. 😁 You’ll hear no complaints from me at that price but I do understand what you’re saying. I’ve read somewhere in the past year or so that the low $70’s for a barrel of oil is the sweet spot for oil and gas companies.

    Iran War Update

    Out of curiosity, I looked this up with a Google search. I had heard about Libya’s sweet crude but not the others. Interesting: Crude oil is classified as "sweet" if it contains very low levels of sulfur (typically below 0.5%). While several countries produce high-quality, sweet crude, the highest-ranking oils based on extreme purity and low sulfur include: Kimray +4 Malaysia: Produces Tapis crude, which is frequently ranked as the cleanest crude in the world. It boasts remarkably low sulfur levels (as low as 0.03%) and a high API gravity, making it incredibly pure. Wikipedia +2 Algeria: Produces Saharan Blend, which is world-renowned for having almost zero sulfur content. Quora +2 Nigeria: Known for Bonny Light, a premium crude prized by refineries globally for its exceptionally low sulfur and high yields of high-value petroleum products. Quora +1 Libya: The country's crudes, such as Es Sider and Sharara, are exceptionally light and sweet, making them highly sought after in European refineries. Quora +1 Key Benchmarks: If you look at the largest volume and most widely traded sweet crudes, the United States (producing West Texas Intermediate) and the North Sea (producing Brent Crude) are the most famous global benchmarks for light, sweet crude

    Iran War Update

    There are 4 different pipelines that can handle about 50% of the current loads through Hormuz as they’re built out right now. (Don’t quote me on the 50%. But, I think that’s close.) These can be expanded. But, they’ll still be easy targets for disruption in a volatile region, and the ME politics always makes a kink in usage/transport deals between the States & countries. They’re being used now, and are part of the reason oil hasn’t jumped as much as people thought. There was talk of rail between Saudi, Israel, and up north after the Abraham Accords. But, I don’t know how the relations are between Israel & Saudi right now after Gaza. I don’t think they’re great. Land bridges are already being used to a small extent by MSC (the shipping magnate). They could be expanded, and MSC & others are looking at that. I believe only 10% or so ships via land right now. Building anything between areas in this region is tough. So, I couldn’t give you a timeframe. But, since Iran has shown their hand, I’d expect any build to be quicker than in the past. Let’s say 2-3 years-ish per bridge for the ENC part of it. Bridges aren’t that difficult, and there are very talented people in that region as well. They’re not uneducated dummies like some think. Other water routes are pretty shallow and dangerous for the supertankers. The major benefactor is the Americas. Our routes are safe, easily insurable, and dependable without stressing over constant conflicts. The distance is a little longer. But, this can be scheduled around. Another benefit is that our light, sweet WTI is the cheapest product to refine. America, Venezuela, Canada, and other producers will be the big winners.

  50. Yep. Like I said previously, I'd expect Brent to hang around upper $70's for the foreseeable future. I don't envision going back into the $60's again. $70's are actually a good number that allows for a balance between fuel costs & margins that allow for maintenance and investments by the energy companies. I haven't heard of any major T/A's in a long time. Usually, that's a yearly, staggered process between refiners. T/A's are a critical function, and the refiners have to have the margins and capacities to enable the down times. In the past, we were around $80/bbl. But, efficiencies and fracking have enabled a lot lower cost structure need. This is a solid link to keep bookmarked for those interested. It doesn't give all the data I receive. But, it's pretty informative for the overview.
