    The hawks are no joke - there’s a bunch of them nesting in the ‘hood. Maybe they’ll take care of the squirrels. One caught a starling in my yard and ate part of it while I watched. 

    Best shit ever happened last year at my kid's school.  They went out for recess and a hawk was in a tree out there ripping apart a squirrel.  The kids went over and started cheering "hawk! hawk! hawk! hawk!"  I was so proud.

    I am not totally freaking out but we look more like the 2016 Astros at the plate than the 2017 Astros. I don't want to see us go back to striking out all the time.

    I think this is how most people feel.   It's not "that" bad overall, but when you see us lose games where the starter goes 6-7+ innings and pitches well it stands out more.

    Thus far we have 4 losses where we only scored 1 run and also 1 win where we only scored 1 run.   So in 31% of our games so far we've only scored 1 run.  That's bothersome.  And in those 4 games the most we gave up is 5 runs.  The losses are 5-1(DK gave up 3), 4-1(LMJ gave up 3), 4-1(DK gave up 3), 3-1(JV gave up 1).  All very winnable games. 

    By contrast, last year we had our 5th game only scoring 1 run(or less) in the 43rd game of the season on May 20th. 

    Last year we had 9 of our first 16 games where we scored 3 or less runs.  This year we've had 8. 

     

    Key takeaway is that it's of course too early.  But I'd much rather see more crooked numbers on the board at this point than all those 1's. 

  3. Breakdown of cost per chip at D&B based on their recharging prices:
    $100 = 750 chips = $0.133 ea
    $50 = 300 = $0.166
    $20 = 100 = $0.2
    $10 = 48 = $0.208
    Using the buy $20 get $20 = 200 = $0.1 ea.
    Using the buy $10 get $10 = 96 = $0.104 ea

    Clearly the buy $20 get $20 free is the best deal. Maximize this with the $10 offers that come in the emails. However, that takes a little time to build up a volume of chips since you only get that offer once a week. If you plan on going with your kids or something then it’s better to just buy the $100 charge than doing the $20-40 option a couple times.

    I noticed today that most of the games go for 6.8 to 11 chips Per play. So on a normal day that is damn near $1 per play. Keep that in mind. That’s also why playing on Wednesday is the key. Also, of the games listed before, most of them tend to be on the lower cost per play part of the spectrum so that further improves your odds. Quick Drop, Zombie, Jug Toss.

    It’ll be fun to go on a Wednesday and without an 8 yr old running me around to games to see how efficient I can be. It’ll definitely take practice on some games.

  4. Took the kiddo today and employed some of the systems and tips provided. Spent $45 and earned about 7,000 points.

    There are a couple of games that with some practice could become very reliable points winners. Milk jug toss, zombie stretcher, and quick drop come to mind first. And I’m quite prolific at the Wizard of Oz coin game but need to play that sparingly. The rare card is the Toto, so I work towards building up the set but don’t invest too much unless I see the Toto card.

    I’ll definitely need to see how it goes on a Wednesday. Getting 7k+ points for $20 or less I think should work out.

     This should come to a quick close though because typically when you get checked for 1 STD they go ahead and try to run you for every STD.  If the lab says "yes we indicated he had herpes" then he is probably fucked, especially if she can prove she was clean before.  If he truly didn't know then fuck her right in the pussy.

    Yeah but if I'm his attorney I then request her to provide her clean STD test from the day before they had sex.  Can't provide that?  Well then, how do we know she contracted it from him and not some other dude?  The rest is just bullshit messy gossip from some other chick.

  6. Lol.  Something like 40% of the population has the herp.  Get over it dumbass.

    And I'd be curious what sort of legitimate proof she has.  She can say this dude is the first dude she ever had unprotected sex with, but no one knows that for a fact.  This is a lawsuit over a bunch of bullshit gossip.

    Making it more difficult for Johns to find workers, see pictures, read reviews, vet workers to ensure they aren’t cops, etc., will reduce demand.

    I don't think you understand the concept of demand.   Demand does not go down and will never go down.  The demand comes from human nature.  The supply may reduce, but in reality all they're doing is reducing ease of access to the supply whereby making the whole venture more dangerous for all involved.

    But glad to see that you're against the law because your tone sure didn't indicate that in your many posts.

    She then hypothesized that perhaps terrorists had taken it. Seriously.

    About 5-6 years ago in my hood some lady posted a picture of a beat up cardboard box along the curb in an intersection.  She flipped the fuck out worrying about the box and terrorists and bombs and shit.  This was a pretty mangled looking box that had clearly fallen out of the garbage truck.  About 3-4 people jumped in with her on the paranoia, and then about 20-30 more started piling on making fun of her.  That was a fun day.

    Been waiting for that since Coral died.

    Frankly I was hoping they'd accidentally be burned/lost and it would cause Rick to lose his shit again and waste some innocent people.  At this point in the show I'm really hoping some rogue motherfucker manages to figure out how to launch some missiles at these fucks and wipe them all out.

    Same. Got there at 445, checked out the food trucks/vendors for 10 min and made my donation to the Astrodome Conservacy. Got in line right after 5, and it was already wrapped around 3/4 of the Dome by then. Didnt get in until 730ish, and even then, it took 30 min to walk through. Coulda been set up better but meh, not gonna complain about a free event. 

     

     

    I went 5 years ago when they did the same thing.  It was also a several hours long affair to get through, so this time I passed on it.  They should have opened the doors a couple hours earlier.

    Yup, saw that one at the Superdrum, although I thought it was earlier, more like 1989 after the New Jersey album came out in 88?  Also saw their next tour for Keep The Faith.

     

    Ahhh you are correct.  Just checked and the Houston show I attended was Sept 29, 1989.
