Al Pacino after Godfather II was an overacting hack.


I generally agree with this, but I loved his performance in Any Given Sunday
Nic Cage might be the most "GIFable" actor ever
I'm rewatching The Rock and it made me curious on how his acting chops would grade out on TD

..can't believe this movie is already 30 years old.

TAMU is solid in Forestry/Horticulture

I used the AgriLife Extension service several times back in the day per the advice of Neil Sperry
It's going to be fun watching these super conferences fall apart under their own weight

...you have a point though.

Bottom line is that they're both part of the same ideological family. The line between them is blurred in nomenclature these days.

A high trust flock that has an understanding of building for the future... Stepping stones towards a common goal..

The theory is honestly quite beautiful.

But, this world we find ourselves in is unfortunately an unequal place.

High output humans will never want to share their productivity with the lazy or less fortunate, at least not at scale.

No government will ever be able to legislate equality in the US without tranches of bloodshed/eugenics programs.

The way I see it: Any attempt to implement Socialism is either an honest fools errand, or a devilish hijacking of the cause.
My grandpa Wilbert served there. He passed 25 years ago.

Central Texas Baw (Brenham).. Son of German immigrants. His dad served Kaiser Wilhelm II

U.S. Army.. Bronze Star for Valor

They're a forgotten class of servicemen who deployed to a combat zone.

Buy cash generating assets all the time over time > silver / gold.



You have a point when looking at the juggernaut that is the US Stock Market

But, if you step back and look at the broader International Markets you'll see that Precious Metals have significantly outpaced the major indexes in countries like China and Japan over the years.

Maybe that will happen here eventually?

Many stackers stack to the ceiling for the potential paradigm shift.

Physical Precious Metals can accomplish many things at once

- While they haven't beaten the major indexes in the US consistently, they have shown the ability to make up lost ground very quickly several times.

- They have no counterparty risk. They give the holder the ability to transfer wealth between changing structure and economic systems.

- They're fun to collect. It can be a hobby whereas buying stock is just business

Additionally: You can generate cash flow with precious metals equities, though that space is admittedly more difficult to grasp for the layman than say the "set it and forget it" S&P tracking devices such as VOO, SPY.. etc. etc.

For a lot of us it boils down to this: They're the most proven monetary assets in human history.
Del Rio is actually a pretty cool border town. Obviously not without its warts

Amistad and the Devils River both are badass waterways... ain't been in about 10 years though

What's priceless is that Aggy only won 5 games with Devon Achane on the roster

You guys had Myles Garrett and Von Miller and didn't win a conference title with either

:lol:

The BCS era conference layouts would work better in this NIL/Playoff era

The old Big 12 and PAC could both be viable conferences these days

Now all of the power is slowly concentrating into 2 leagues.. which is tragic IMO

Hell, even a TCU/BYU/Utah/Boise State version of the Mountain West could be still be a decent conference with the occasional playoff team(s)
Do you think Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin made it to shore, or did they drown in San Francisco Bay?
I think Auburn could be better than expected.

Retaining Durkin was huge and should make this regime change go smoother than the typical HC switch.

They'll be solid defensively. If they can find a groove offensively they'll be a tough out.
