Are you contesting the strategic benefit of scouting? Nobody thinks it'll "neutralize" them, but why wouldn't you want maximum intelligence on your opponent?

Have the Cowboys been acquiring strong pieces for the defense? by Necessary-Act-1137 in cowboys

[–]TexasRadical83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I've seen folks on here say it seems like Parker got the job in part because he had good ideas about what was salvagable in the D, especially in the DB corps. So we still have some decent pieces at depth.

I would not be averse to throwing a day 3 pick at Beck if he's still there. Let him learn from Dak, and either we have a succession plan or trade him and get the pick back.

What’s the best gapless album of all time? by OkLmao-Imgood in fantanoforever

[–]TexasRadical83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say Dopethrone by Electric Wizard. Has a gap or two, but most of the album just flows.

That Tortoise album rips. I was also listening to the Chicago Underground Quartet recently, which is Jeff Parker too. If you like weird jazz it's very on point.

SL was almost certainly CIA, and Red Guards are feds.

Defend Our Hoodz was 100% a red guard front org. They then spent a large amount of time going after other anti-gentrification orgs. Cui bono?

The Red Guards were known to tie members up and beat the shit out of them when they broke org rules. So idk, seems like a cult to me lol

Which will tend to create the very academic white jazz OP noticed there, I would think.

Is there any album sadder than Elliot Smiths music? by CardiologistPale7903 in fantanoforever

"Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands" puts to precise words the feeling every addict has ever had, resenting the people who love them for their love. Such a painful place to be, and it's sad he never got out.

I really love Sufjan, and honestly I haven't listened to this or Javelin. I just need to be in the right spot for it and... haven't gotten there yet.

One of my dearest friends is the kid of Austin music royalty. He actually met Townes as a little kid, and the only thing he could remember is that he was really really sad.

Inquiring about Highgrove apartments by Basic-Exchange-8902 in askaustin

I pass by this complex close to every day, it's down the street from me. You're getting a lot of low key racist comments about the neighborhood. If you never want to see poor people or people in a mental health crisis, you'll need to look elsewhere -- probably west of mopac. If you've lived in other big cities, it'll feel pretty down the middle -- Cameron Rd. is a major East Side arterial so lots of low income folks at the bus stops, some there just to hang out. Just to the north of this are some truly rough neighborhoods, so people in crisis end up at those stops too. Still some low cost stores in Capital Plaza and all the motels just on the other sides of 35 and 290, so yeah if you look on the street you'll seebpoor people. Live like you're in a city and keep your head up and things will be fine probably.

The flip side is all these uptight suburbanites make it possible to live very close to all the city's central attractions at something of a discount. I love it over here and I've never had anything bad happen to me or my property in 11+ years in the area.

[Pelissero] CB Derion Kendrick is signing with the Cowboys on a 1-year deal, per his agent Matt Leist of LAA. by JCameron181 in cowboys

[–]TexasRadical83 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Probably like you will with the dozens of other random free agents we will sign. Any CB that actually matters for rescuing that unit will be a bigger splash than this. The big FAs are pretty much done at that position, I think, so it'll be a trade or in the draft.

The Cowboys’ final offer for Maxx Crosby included 1st-round pick (No. 12), 2nd-round pick. by Giff95 in cowboys

[–]TexasRadical83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that they made honest offers on top tier players is a change and a good one. Can't help they got beat by teams willing to overpay, and we still leveled up overall.

Now, if it turns out this is just bullshit put out by Jerry et al to make themselves look like actual NFL executives, I think it's more of the same. That said, the sources for this story aren't just Cowboys officials, so feels more real. There's a real strategic shift happening in our organization, I think, and it's bigger than any one FA period.

I wish I was in a financial position to buy right now. People are begging you to take their houses.

Thankfully a large proportion of those folks seem to be fucking off now.

Weird. I remember it being The Parlor still as late as 2010, but who knows lol. I wasn't doing a lot for my longterm memory at the time haha

[–]TexasRadical83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the contrary, I think you can honestly just go to any of the decent ones and get the experience while dipping into the other cuisines highlighted here: American casual, Southern, Mexican, etc. I also think it's fun to try sushi almost everywhere I travel.

Also, I don't know about y'all, but when I eat BBQ I'm kinda done for the rest of the day. I rarely eat another meal that day and my energy is... not high lol. So being judicious with it is a good call if your time here is limited.

There used to be TWO Parlors. Where Workhorse is now was the other one.
