re: Mark Cuban possibly making moves to buyback the Mavericks
Posted by BobABooey on 2/9/26 at 7:42 pm to Ghost of Colby
F Cuban.
He knew who he was selling to. It was no surprise they were more concerned about casino gaming than basketball.
Nico was a Cuban guy. Mark had to have given him some sort of seal of approval and the new owners trusted Cuban’s judgment.
For years after winning the title, Cuban “kept the powder dry” and tried to get a free agent who would turn the team around. Instead, he’d be left at the altar with a mediocre team but his powder was dry.
Now the Mavs have Cooper and Cuban wants back in? Nah.

I agree with your post, found it interesting, and gave you an upvote but it’s “the lede.”

Don’t understand why women ruin their bodies like that.
I think many of the ones you see online with attractive faces and fit bodies are getting disfigured so they can get modeling work in a niche market. They can’t get mainstream modeling gigs because they’re too short or lack some other key attribute. So they get a bunch of tattoos and become the prettiest one in the sideshow.
For the most part, though, it’s women with daddy issues or mindless sheep. At least cutters try to hide their self-inflicted wounds.
re: Anyone else ever learned the company you work for is actively seeking buyers?
Posted by BobABooey on 2/5/26 at 12:23 pm to Naked Bootleg
Employees at a former company inadvertently found out acquisition talks were being completed. Once it was formally announced, the new company would take over on Jan 1 of the following year. The buyer is a huge company everyone would recognize. I had a pregnant wife who would deliver after Jan 1 so I needed some certainty about my future so I lined up a new job and quit on 1/2.
The people who stayed were told to sit tight and keep doing what you’re doing. It was almost a year before they got any direction. None of them got let go, which was unusual.

The player will be allowed to leave the game to beat traffic.
re: What bigbox store sells the best kites?

I’ve been happy with the inexpensive bat kites I’ve bought from WalMart in the past. The trick is getting the timing right. Big retailers will sell them on a seasonal basis, just like pool noodles etc.

Pro tip: When you’re metal detecting and a woman approaches and asks what’s the best thing you’ve ever found, reply “a bored housewife.”

re: Who has ICE arrested that shouldn't have been?
Posted by BobABooey on 1/31/26 at 8:05 pm to LSUbacchus81
The complaint I’m hearing more often in the last few days is people don’t have a problem with ICE arresting and deporting people; the problem is how ICE goes about it.
They point to Obama’s inflated deportation numbers and say “I don’t remember anyone protesting then.” The rioters repeat the claims of people getting snatched up because of the color of their skin and deported without due process.

The irony if some random person moves into the residence and squats there…illegally.

Shoot from inside your house at a target outside the residence. This law restricts shooting outdoors.
And have a good lawyer on retainer.

There are a lot of small businesses here in DFW that help kids learn to code. I think those places need to shift to teaching about AI tools, prompt engineering, etc. A business opportunity!
Natalie is from a family with a strong Texas Music reputation and she had a great voice. I still like listening to their first album and their remake of Landslide.
I hope she gets a ticket on the Ozempic train.

Now to pick out the next one
Last week, I watched a WWII video on YouTube that mentioned the Greyhound. During the video, I wondered if you had ever built one. Now I see your inventory of unbuilt kits. What is on the top of the tallest stack? The Greyhound!
