  1. The Memorial Villages are up there too
  2. and they like to put that shit on everything
  3. I spent a few months in Denver the end of last year and yeah the food left a lot to be desired. I was surprised because I kept reading about the food resurgence in Denver but for the most part I found very meh, though I did find what I thought was some very good BBQ, especially being not in Texas, AJ's BBQ (I think posted pics in the non Texas bbq thread) over off Delaware near Evans. Neat area with brutal poodle, Corvus coffe and sushi den. Then Post Oak bbq off Tennyson, PO has a full bar with a great bourbon selection and the food is great, wing Wednesdays, they smoke them then fry'em nom nom. Both of these places have good bark on their brisket, a few Texas transplants I met while there told me about a food truck that was supposed to be outstanding I never could get to and a place in Boulder, idk Yeah no decent texmex there, you mentioned seafood, I ate at Jaxs and Blue Island, they worked nothing outstanding but I'd go back and there is a Pappadeuaxs in Denver
  4. I love me some tri tip but IMO its not BBQ, its grilled meat., I'm redoing my outdoot kitchen here soon and brick santa marie grill is on the menu. This is my rare food nazi'ism, its not BBQ unless is smoked slow and low (exceptions to hot and fast but you guys know what I mean) everything else is grilling. Steaks - grilling, hotdogs - grilling, hamburgers grilling. I think this feeling took off once I moved out here and people would say their BBQ'ing and I ask what are you cooking and it was on the meats above
  5. I'm fortunate that I have really good BBQ place about 10 mins from the house, amazing bourbon selection too. I haven't found many stand out Asian food places near me as Im not in a majo metro area, SF is about an hour and half away and I think seafood is a push, I miss gulf cajun seafood too.
  6. I think depends on the cuisine but agree for the most part food is better in Texas, fine dining is better in California. I've found most dishes out here are under seasoned
  7. I moved to California and when I mention I'm from Texas the conversation comes up and that's what most say, "Oh so and so moved to Texas to get out of this Democrat state" I've had 2 neighbors move to Texas both are republicans, "Tired of Newsom taking away our freedoms.." So just anecdotal but we've been hearing about California to Texas flight for 20+ years and how its going to turn Texas blue. How's that going?
  8. Its mostly republicans fleeing democratic states
  9. Texas governor predicted donations would pay for busing migrants out of state. He’s collected less than 1% of that cost https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/15/politics/texas-busing-migrants-donations-invs/index.html $1500 for a one way bus ticket to New York City, Chicago, Washington, DC and Denver ....Didn't someone here post something when this bussing started that the company Texas is using for bussing is owned by one of Abbotts friends?
  10. We've been in the business of punishment and harsh sentencing as a deterrent since forever, and I think the US has more people incarcerated then any other nation. our system doesn't seem to be working if you ask me, I don't know what the answer is, but the something needs to change
  11. This is me, I get back several times a year to visit family and its nice to see them especially the ones getting up there in age, but I usually have a deep sigh of relief when the plane takes off back to California.
  12. I have no doubt, too many times we say on here how stupid Americans are, sometimes in jest but its a truth and its scary to see. Its like John Q is in a race to the bottom
  13. So one thing I take from all this is, holding a superior advisories citizens as hostages, isn't an effective deterrent and in fact, gets your cities leveled
  14. and these people can vote, scary
  15. Go fuck yourself you whiney dumb bitch
  16. Already did, if you cant keep up, this discussion might not be for you
  17. that's the problem, its not a news source, its a foreign owned entity that has the ability to limit what you do and don't see based on their political agenda. Do you trust china and its buddy russia not interfere with the upcoming election by manipulating their algorithm? If you thought 2020 was bad just wait
  18. Do you really think genz/millennials do research for social media aps? especially the "hot" one all their friends are using True but it has over 170 million users in the US right now and watching all this on tv, there was a graph that showed 2 years ago 23% of people under 25 got their news off tiktok, now its 45%. I'm showing my age but I'm just amazed at how younger people don't care about their personal info being out there. Its 100% guarantee that the CCP has a "file" on every US users filled with data about them, yes many US companies do as well but there is a huge difference between them a foreign adversarial country IMO the bigger concern is steering news/information to users, their algorithm can be skewed to hide certain views or news story and prop up others I guess it boils down to are American citizens ok with China influencing their children? Personally I think all social media tiktok/twitter/insta and everything else like should be shit down but I don't see that happening See above One of the tv anchors mentioned a similar thing happened with grindr a few years and the parent company divested to a US company and as far as user go, nothing changed for them.
