  1. I was working the door at a sold out Cars concert in the early 80s. Many many people approached me with cash in their hand. They all saw the show and I made a lot of money!
  2. Went to pick up a prescription and was told it would be $67. Why so high? Insurance doesn't like the quantity of 20. Took out two and the price dropped to $2. WTF?
  3. If your PC screen resolution is at 1080p and you watch a 4k video on Youtube, are you really seeing 4k or is it maxed at the screen resolution you've set? Asking because my HTPC is set to 1080p on a 4k TV. Do I need to invest in a more robust video card? Or, build a Plex server and let the TV deal with the resolution?
  4. Shoddy Craftsmanship My 40 year old microwave died today.
  5. Any tax professionals recommended in far south Austin? Slaughter/Mopac or near? Have always done my own, but this year stuff happened and I feel I should hand it off to a professional.
  6. Friend took Prozac and Viagra at the same time. Told me he could go all night! He was in his late 30's. He had a heart attack and died!
  7. I'm getting sick of walking into HEB and immediately being harassed by Spectrum salespeople. I finally said: "I had you guys for 32 years. It felt like I was being held hostage and ass raped every day."
  8. Suspicious white Ford pickup just now in front of Kiker Elementary. License plate AK3 0957. Did not pick up a kid, pulled up behind my wife, stayed in truck and began to follow her as she pulled away. On her tail until Slaughter and Manchaca whereas she pulled over to loose him.
  9. Now it's: The Police - Zenyatta Mondatta Another memory was the Synchronicity tour concert at Southpark Meadows. All the guys let the girls have the porta potties, so there were 100 guys pissing on the barbed wire fence. CSB
  10. The Police - Regatta De Blanc Brings back a UT memory. I was camping out all night at the Erwin Center to get tickets for the Ghost In The Machine tour. Had to shit really bad. Walked west down into Waller Creek, took the shit, left the underwear. CSB
  11. Dropped those cocksuckers (Spectrum) two years ago and went Google Fiber with YoutubeTV. No problems. At the same time I dropped our 30 year old AT&T home phone account and ported to a $10 box Google offered. No problems and sound quality is equal to the old land line. Honestly for what I do, I don't see a big difference in 200mb down to 1,000mb down. Still wondering who sucked more, Spectrum or AT&T? I hope to never deal with either again!
  12. Greatest day of the year! Watching now and not happy with new 4k TV through YoutubeTV. Thankfully still had my old plasma. Hooked it up via antenna, and holy shit! Smaller, but better. (that's what she said)
  13. I've been using a PC in the living room to store and watch stuff. i.e. using the TV as a big monitor. Time to clean up the living room and stream my stuff across the home network. Looks like Plex is the 500 pound gorilla? I don't like metadata, don't want to see graphic and crap. Can Plex, or another, display drive contents like Windows Explorer? Lines of file titles instead of art?
  14. Maybe they should have lowered their prices? Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.
  15. Anyone collect old Texas license plates? I remember dad pulling these off the wall of my great-grandfather's garage when they were cleaning out his house.
  16. Need help on finding a Media Player app. Roku or Samsung Currently I have a PC connected to the TV, so I use Windows Explorer in "Details" mode to choose my media. Wanting to remove PC from living room and stream from a server. Wanting to find a player app that looks like the "Details" look of Windows Explorer. Don't want thumbnails of the media. Also, I don't care about meta data. Can't read the fan art anyway. All the Plex, Jellyfin, etc. I've seen shows thumbnails?
  17. Mom died. Dad died 20 years ago. Found her SPJST Whole Life policy where I'm listed second as beneficiary is case dad's dead. I emailed SPJST the policy info and got "her policy is out of force". When asking what that means, nothing but crickets. What could it mean?
  18. I just shot a kale salad through my system in 3.25 hours!
  19. I've been thinking it time to start distributing this stuff to the younger generations. I see estate sales full of heirlooms that never got handed down. Problem is how do I even it out? Dollar value? I'm sure someone will get butt-hurt.
  20. Now down to 48 rolls of my COVID toilet paper stash.
