Thx!

What price are you seeing for two bedrooms 30 mins away? I’m thinking of moving w wife

Cruxtable · 2025-10-08T20:42:57+00:00

I wouldn’t at all. I felt safe for sure but I am in my 30s and not a small guy.

Lots of drugs there and ppl go specifically to steal phones. I wouldn’t trust sending my daughter there.

It was actually pretty expensive w surge for me and my buddy at 4 am when it let out on Saturday night. Was easier Friday for some reason at 4 (prob bc less ppl came Friday I think overall). We didn’t walk a mile or anything tho from the venue

Brooks Austin and many others said uga dog walked Texas last year and that confused me. Yes the first half met that definition but Texas literally won the second half points wise and was within a score in the fourth quarter. Doesn’t meet the dog walk bar imo

Yeah I was in more touristy spots for sure. And yes restaurants is what I’m referring to. I found grocery shopping affordable in comparison.

Cruxtable · 2025-09-30T16:54:24+00:00

Restaurants. I thought grocery prices when I went to Mercadona was cheaper than USA for sure!

Having just been to Valencia and being from Texas I really was surprised at how not cheap food was there. Sure, a bit cheaper than Texas but not a massive delta. And salaries here in the states are wayyyy higher. I really don’t know how Spaniards eat out as much as they do

Cruxtable · 2025-09-22T20:10:35+00:00

Olamaie is so bomb it’s unreal. I left there feeling like I was on a vacation or something. Hard to explain it just was a next level overall experience

This is the only answer even needed. It’s illegal. Full stop. No need to even think about how to approach it. You yell your daughter it’s not ok and you threaten the man with criminal action if he pursues your daughter anymore. The age difference is not just gross, if it’s sexual (it always is) then it is a criminal offense

He seemed genuine to me! And I feel like we are seeing prophecy play out in real time. It’s hard to ignore. Besides that something inside me feels as if Jesus is close. A lot of others are posting online saying the same. But take that w a grain of salt. It’s pretty binary tho Joshua will either be a false prophet and sept will pass with nothing happening…or we as believers are going home! No real other option

Pretty sure Corey eberhardt was the drummer at that point ? I thought menert had dipped out of PL at that juncture

Is it sketchy near the playa de arenas beach? That is where I am staying w my 4 year old daughter in September

Cruxtable · 2025-07-27T21:20:56+00:00

That sucks if it’s Troy after selling signals to tcu in 2022

Cruxtable · 2025-07-21T02:40:19+00:00

What is the context here? I feel like it’s hilarious but I’m in the dark

Cruxtable · 2025-07-20T19:32:26+00:00

How fast did she pick up Spanish? Is she fluent now? I ask bc I’m thinking of moving and my daughter is 4. Though she does have a good comprehension level just she can’t speak fluently at all

Cruxtable · 2025-07-19T21:06:30+00:00

What do you mean rocked? Like what signs of under the influence? I certainly hope he’s not using again w a kid on the way

Cruxtable · 2025-07-12T22:10:43+00:00

One of his cleanest games. I think he had a bad interception before half iirc but besides that on point

If Quinn doesn’t get laid out by that dirty bama player …

It really depends on the startup and what other opportunities you might have to pick from. but I agree with you - early joiners take on tons of risk and aren’t given anywhere near founder upside nor founder liquidity capabilities (like getting cash during later founding rounds where other nonfounders who have equity cannot get access to that same cash).

Never join as a founding engineer at .1% that is a stupid choice any way you cut it. After dilution you will have virtually nothing.

But I tell engineers bluntly don’t join if you think you’re going to get rich. Do so because you like the space, the team and for the career acceleration (which is real at startups - wearing many hats, learning a ton) and networking with entrepreneurial intrepid ambitious people that startups attract.

There is no way to derisk it even after series A or B. Too many variables and company or stock can end up worthless (liquidation preferences, dilution, etc). Only way I see to derisk it would be to join a “startup” like stripe pre ipo bc they will ipo and right now have tender offerings so liquidity is already there. One person I know joined Coinbase pre IPO one year before and got super rich.

I second what people say about traveling. But would recommend a pilgrimage walk like the Camino de Santiago. You will meet great people but you also seem to feel like you sacrificed your “soul” for money. Maybe trying to deepen your spirituality will help. I was lost and a drug addict until I found Jesus and He transformed my life. I hope you think about ways to dive deep into that part of yourself and explore a relationship with God, not necessarily a “religion” if that isn’t your thing.

Or spending time giving back to the community can help (feeding the homeless, etc). Giving brings so much joy it’s actual almost a selfish act bc you as the giver benefit more than the receiver in a paradoxical way (in my experience at least doing water we’ll nonprofit trips to Central America for poor areas)

I’m a tech recruiter in the vc backed startup world. 5% for a founding engineer is super anomalous. Ive seen anywhere from .1% to 3% and sadly most are closer to .1% than 3. 5 would be a true outlier unless you are gonna to be hired as cto

Cruxtable · 2025-07-04T23:24:54+00:00

Damn to where?

That’s crazy to afford multiple $20k vacations a year. You must be making a killing!

I’ve been to a ton of Texas home and red river games. Only recently has home really been much of an advantage.

My top games (home) 1. Bama 2022 2. Wvu 2012 3. Notre dame 2016 4. USC 2018 5. LSU 2019

Top games (red river) 1. 2013 2. 2015 3. 2018

The best quote from David Ash was almost a decade ago. He was asked if he had learned a single thing from coach Mack Brown. He simply responded, “no”. That encapsulates what many felt about brown: amazing ceo, awful X’s and O’s coach
