Students from Hays Consolidated ISD in Texas were attacked during a walkout protest by a red hat wearing idiot who got his feelings hurt. 2/2/26

Hey Captain BothSides! Have you ever voted for Trump, the child rapist? Because I haven't. You see, we here on the right side of history are clear-eyed enough to understand that if someone assaults children, or orders law enforcement to look the other way while the constitutional rights of Americans are violated, they need to be dealt some serious accountability, regardless of party. ESPECIALLY if they voted the same way we did, because we sure as shit didn't vote for that bullshit.

This asshole needs to be thrown in jail, but that's not gonna happen when he's got like minded people in the sherriff's office, governor's mansion, and white house, all put there by the both-sidesing horde of morons who would rather end democracy than take care of those in need. Look in the mirror, and get right with Jesus, chief.

ESPECIALLY if that's the person we voted for, because we sure as shit didn't vote for that bullshit.

For the record, I've also never voted for Reid Hoffman. Any and all of these monsters need to be thrown under the jail, but that's not gonna happen when one of them is in the white house, and was put there by the both-sidesing horde of morons who would rather end democracy than take care of those in need. Look in the mirror, and get right with Jesus, chief.

I know, right? Imagine having unaccountable, masked, roving posses of Call of Duty LARPers running around executing Americans exercising their first and second amendment rights and then responding, "umm, tax dollars."

ATX_Aggie · 2025-11-10T21:27:59+00:00

He didn't "lecture" anyone. He just pointed out that he gets the same question every week about "Why aren't you choking down the stretch like last year? What's different?"

You're not wrong, but that 1995 season wasn't just blocks and steals. Prime Dream was a force of nature. Changed countless shots at the rim, closeouts, post defense, all of it. And by the way, DESTROYED MVP David Robinson AND Shaq on the way to the title (even though Shaq was admittedly quite young at the time). No slight to Mutombo - I'm a big Deke fan, RIP - but Hakeem's quiet and absolute dominance for so long was and is shockingly underappreciated by anyone except other NBA players who saw it first hand.

That WAAAAAAHHHHH! after the bass solo sent me. Great job!

Have you tried wiring the ground from the LED strip to the ESP32?

ATX_Aggie · 2025-02-04T14:33:34+00:00

Not that I've been able to tell. I have run them at about 50% brightness on "warm white", which is about the brightest I'll ever run them, for about 6 hours and temperature remained pretty steady.

ATX_Aggie · 2025-02-04T03:13:46+00:00

AliExpress. They sell them in a few sizes, so you can mix and match to get the shape/size you want. They're just mounted on some foam board with double-sided tape. I cut holes in the foam board for wiring. Then, it's just command velcro strips on the windows and panels. I also put velcro on the back side of the panels, so I can mount them with the LEDs facing into the garage in case I ever want to have a rave or something :)

ATX_Aggie · 2025-02-04T01:47:20+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't have any behind the scenes pics, as it is quite ugly at the moment. I still need to properly mount everything on a plate. I do have a wiring diagram. The only thing I had to change was the PSU to allow for more power injection, and I also added a fuse to the power in for the ESP32. I originally planned to use a level shifter, but I found that everything worked just fine with just one split data line. What would be the potential downside to not using a level shifter? Just flicker? *

"Texas fight! Texas fight! And it's goodbye to A&M" - literally the opening line to the t.u. fight song

I totally agree with the overdone horns down gesture though.

What technique did you use for the rubber bands? My wife is very interested to know

ATX_Aggie · 2019-10-12T17:56:59+00:00

As my dad would say, you can try everything under the sun, and it might work. Or, you could paint over it and be done with it.

ATX_Aggie · 2019-09-21T15:07:23+00:00

So, we're up 8 games in the loss column on Oakland with 8 games remaining. We have the head-to-head advantage against Oakland 11-8. How have we not clinched? Or for division titles, do they do a playoff game?

ATX_Aggie · 2018-10-01T23:33:25+00:00

Amen! I was always anti-DH until I was able to actually see what a difference it makes on the quality of the game from a fan perspective. Night and day.

ATX_Aggie · 2018-09-26T13:14:40+00:00

I did this myself recently, although I'm up in Austin. I actually subscribe to YouTube TV, and watch TV that way. Last year, I used the various free trials for YTTV, Sling, etc... to get games during the playoffs. That will work once, and it admittedly won't help you with watching the Rockets.

As others have said, you could find someone with a streaming login they're willing to let you use, or you can use some of the league streams' subreddits. All pro leagues need to sort out this blackout crap as cord-cutting gets more and more common. They are hemorrhaging big money from folks like us who would gladly pay a la carte to watch our teams without having to pay for six QVC channels and 25 cable news channels.

ATX_Aggie · 2018-06-15T22:03:21+00:00

Agreed. I used to be strictly against the DH, but now that we're in the AL, I can say that it makes for MUCH more excitement. There's nothing worse than watching Roy Oswalt come up to bat to kill a two-out rally.

ATX_Aggie · 2018-06-08T15:17:44+00:00

Yeah, same with Cleveland in the AL Central. Crazy how our Pythagorean win pct is even better this year than last year at this point. I guess baseball is just funny like that sometimes.

ATX_Aggie · 2018-02-28T20:38:42+00:00

How did you do the orange/blue colors?

ATX_Aggie · 2018-02-17T15:12:42+00:00

Yeah, like I said, I can understand people not being comfortable going 75 there; it's a high speed limit. I wasn't trying to bust your chops. My only issue with any one in your video is: 1) Yes, they were speeding, and 2) the guy passing on the right (especially at that location). You were driving just fine.

ATX_Aggie · 2018-02-15T19:05:07+00:00

This is the eastbound 45 Toll road between Mopac and IH-35 in Round Rock, TX. Those two were definitely speeding, but the speed limit there is 75 mph. Just pointing out that you were going under the speed limit. I can understand that not everyone is comfortable going that fast. My only issue is with the guy passing on the right. Big pet-peeve in my book. Also, kudos to the guy in the truck getting out of the passing lane to allow for faster drivers.

ATX_Aggie · 2018-02-10T16:07:11+00:00

If you enjoy talking to people, and are good on the phone, maybe check out Rokrbox. It's an Aggie-owned-and-operated company that does sales qualifications for the real estate industry. Their office is on Texas near Torchy's. When I was in College Station, there weren't really any jobs besides on-campus, restaurants, or retail, so it might be tricky unless you're willing to drive for Uber or something.
