If I give you the 100k can I have access to your boat 2 weekends a month until the kid is out of college?

Nothing against you, but this is dumb. A double 2x4 is 3 inches wide. That doesn't go so well on top of a 3 1/2 inch stud. I'll go with a 4x4 in that situation.

Went to Guess in Waco again the other day. Was fantastic as always. Be sure to ask for Eugene if you stop in there. Co-owner. As [mention=671]Kyrie Eleison[/mention] has previously said on this thread, he is from and a bunch of his family still lives in Ukraine. They've all refused to leave and bunch of his cousins are fighting for their country right this minute. Drink a beer, eat some great food, and give Gene a slap on the back and tell him you're pulling for his people.
That wouldn’t be weird.
“Hey Eugene, we’ve never met, but some guy on the internet told me that I should slap you.”- 1

Anyone can be curtailed in periods of very high demand if it is required for grid stability. I don't think those clauses really do anything other than potentially provide some marginal additional legal protection
Those clauses make them the 1st in line to be curtailed, before residential. -
Seems like the problem we have is registration is just an option for everyone. So ercot has no idea who is who
Please repost this in English. -
That’s a pretty fucking good pancake. I don’t know if it’s worth $14 but it’s pretty fucking good.

No, you don't get it. Turning the machines off means less money and less return on investment for their equipment. Cost of energy isn't a big deal because even very expensive energy is still financially productive. Equipment sitting unused IS a big a deal because it isn't financially productive. It is wasted money.
The only way any of these deals work is if government subsidizes the cost of the downtown time or the cost of producing the new generation. But of course, the government could do that anyway without artificially increasing demand. The idea is bad.
Most non-essential industrial customers have clauses in their electricity (and natural gas) contracts that allow the utility to curtail their usage during periods of high demand. That said, ERCOT will still find a way to fuck it up. -
How is an Amazon gift card not the unanimous answer?

Just a quick reminder about an event that I'm chairman for this spring. We are inside three weeks until the Touchdown Club of Dallas' Big Texas BBQ at Fair Park/Cotton Bowl. Our Rib/Appetizer Cook-Off was originally scheduled for 4/16 but we made the decision to moved the event to 5/21 due to many of our usual attendees having scheduling conflicts with the OG date falling on Easter weekend.
Here's the deal -- $50 general admission ticket includes open bar ALL DAY LONG, doors open at 10 AM, live music starts at 11 AM, Gary P Nunn headlines and is expected to go on around 6:30 or 7. Fletcher's will be on hand selling corny dogs. Tootsie Tomanetz and Daniel Vaughn headline our celebrity judges panel. Adult beverages provided by Ben E Keith Distributors, Tito's, Treaty Oak and Osadia, etc. Should be a lot of fun -- and supports a great cause, the Ashford Rise School of Dallas.
We'll also be selling a limited number Gary P Nunn-signed copies of the event poster (see below). I'll have more details on that as we get closer.
Tickets can be purchased at www.bigtexasbbq.org or on-site the day of the event.
I really wish that I could make it to this. -
T-Mobile slams and goes hard.

Looks like tickets still available to this if anyone is interested in going. Music and BBQ. Pretty good lineup of joints and musically if you are into that kind of thing. It's in Georgetown on Saturday June 4th.

Look at UT-Austin as an example as well-- most of us went when the school was an average, cheap, in-state option with average to above average admission barriers. Now 90% of us on this site would be kindly asked to get off mow the lawn.

Do you realize that you can wake up at 8am and have any cut of meat ready to eat by 6pm? This includes seasoning your meat and getting your pit up to temp.

What’s Uncle Gary’s surly handle?

This is a difficult topic, as almost all of my family is equally embarrassing. As I have mentioned in other threads, my mother's side of the family is a complete trainwreck.
My maternal Grandmother had 4 children, whom she decided to name Sherry, Jerry, Garry, and Larry. My maternal Grandfather died at a young age from chronic alcoholism. There are too many grandkids and great grandkids to count, but they are all equally fucked up in their own right. 3 People in this family have managed to get a college degree, me, my son, and my daughter. The rest of the lot still reside in various parts of Ellis County, so beware when you travel through that area.
Sherry - the oldest of the lot is a total Bible thumper with 3 children. She and her husband own the compound where several family members towed their homes to live. She has a set of 350lb female twins and an openly gay son who she disowned when he came out as an 18 year old at the family Thanksgiving dinner.
Jerry - My mother...married 7 times, but single and lived with her mother and Garry for the last 15 years of her life. Over the years, she managed to talk me out of over $100K in loans, which I never saw a penny of. The last of the money was given to her before Christmas in 2007, so she could buy presents for my kids. My son got a book and a backpack, my daughter got a JC Penney's dress, and my mother bought herself a $400 digital camera to record the whole event. The irony of the camera purchase is that she did not own a computer to download the pics.
Garry - The real gem of the group, a raging Redneck and Bigot. He has never held a steady job, and lived with his mother for over 30 years of his adult life. When his mother passed away, it took Garry a whole 3 weeks to fall asleep while smoking and burn the beloved trailer house down. He now lives on the compound, in a travel trailer that he affectionately refers to as the "Pussy Palace." Garry is an alcoholic, and a pot head. He inherited the above mentioned trailer when his mother died. After the fire, he was given a little over $30K in insurance money (this was a really nice place. LOL) He spent most of the money on pot and budweiser, but managed to save enough to purchase a used 24' travel trailer as his dream dwelling. His son spent 14 years in the state prison, for manufacturing and selling meth. My brother was one of his main customers.
Larry - Looks like Bozo, but with black hair. Worthless as the rest of the family, but somehow thinks he is above them. He has been on disability for about 20 years, though none of know exactly why.
I will try and come back later and post a few Uncle Garry stories.

I usually don't do steak this often, but Wallyworld had a pair of nice looking, prime ribeyes for about $12 each.
So, back into the fray
Those look good, but I’m not sure they were worth setting foot inside of a Walmart.- 1

So the whole reason for axing it was the waste caused by the carton and they've just brought it back in a carton?
Narrator: It was never about the waste.
