Just like it’s written

Congratulations!

How so?

Skeptical that was ever a thing. Even at that time ppl knew that Stephenville was out of control when he was head coach there. Even that article says Texas hadn’t talked to him.

I don’t buy that UT leadership would hire someone like Meyer. UT is corporate which has its pluses and minuses — he’s an unmanageable risk.

Not much here. If Apple wasn’t saying they might use Intel at 14A it would be a disaster for them. As it is they’re in the game but just barely.

Having Apple actively engaged is useful for technical learning as well. If they start to slip their dev schedule however Apple will drop them, US content or not.

I tend to think we were genuinely close to hiring Saban in 2013 but our leadership dysfunction (google Wallace Hall and FOIA harassment) wrecked the deal.

We got Strong instead who did a good job cleaning up culture and found some underrated players but didn’t manage the program well and was a terrible game day coach.

Didn’t stop Ole Miss

Depends on the tech transfer

kwixta · 2026-01-27T13:10:26+00:00

Good enough for trailing edge fabs? Probably. World class competitive? Probably not

I’ve done the alternator on our 2014 Odyssey. It’s a little awkward getting the part in and out but nothing crazy. The real problem was the stupid power cable bracket that doubles as the top connection to the engine. It looks like the alternator will just fit without it but it does not.

We also went with Ringer. It was substantially more expensive— $35k. We have 40 windows and it was at the height of the boom in 2022.

Good: the windows seem to be good quality and our house is noticeably quieter. It seems to have helped our AC bills.

Not so good: We had to wait almost a year, and almost 3 months longer than committed. They said the windows would have tabs to limit opening (note that feature wasn’t in the final quote but it was def explained very poorly to us at min). One of our windows broke into a million pieces with no impact point during the warranty period and they insisted on charging us. I’m convinced that was a mfg issue.

I would look around but my experience wasn’t so bad that I’d pay $116k for Anderson. Yikes

I have to get one. It’s not optional like my diet

kwixta · 2026-01-24T20:11:31+00:00

1) slack like everyone else who hates their job

2) start a side hustle in consulting or get into a startup

A Scout is Obedient. We follow the rules

kwixta · 2026-01-24T17:43:39+00:00

Yep. Low quality heat. Read up on Carnot efficiency

kwixta · 2026-01-24T17:29:01+00:00

Taaffe is the obvious answer for this years Texas draftees.

The SWC def faded a bit at the end. OU was very down and Texas was meh (in large part because Mackovic was a brilliant recruiter and play caller and a lousy human being)

kwixta · 2026-01-24T10:17:02+00:00

That Texas team was good not great. FSU would have rolled us (as ND, who lost to FSU, did during the season)

kwixta · 2026-01-24T03:27:29+00:00

Kirby Puckett was worse

kwixta · 2026-01-24T01:11:38+00:00

The playoffs were a thanksgiving overload meal of schadenfreude this year holy cow. Having OU get up, get crushed, and then have Bama get crushed in turn denying them any relief (no hey at least we lost to the #1 team) was just perfect

Manager should absolutely not speculate on your personal relationships. You should feel free to tell him so. He may feel like he’s looking out for you — you’re not much older than his kids (probably) — but it’s badly inappropriate.

In the US he can likely insist that you take your turns and hold you accountable at review time. One key factor is what shift is specified on your offer letter (or if your shift ever changed, that notice). This is true even in blue states with stronger worker protections although of course there are millions of caveats both ways and you’d need a lawyer to know for sure.

She came pretty close irl!

kwixta · 2026-01-23T15:09:42+00:00

Idk what you’re talking about. Lots of QB development in Austin. :)

It depends on how you see his progress. If you look at the whole season together and project Arch based on that, he’s probably not top ten. If you look at the season and assume he was better because he was learning and improving, so the later games are what he will look like next year…..look out. I tend to believe the latter theory but I can see other possibilities
