Clear sign-up took my wife and I about 10-15 minutes. There wasn't anyone ahead of us and I didn't get flagged as a poster on this site so take that for what it's worth.....it was simple. From there they treated us like an existing user and walked us around 200 people waiting in line and right to the x-ray machine. Same process sans the sign-up anytime you fly there-after. Walk up to a Clear kiosk, check in, and someone acting as if they are a security concierge walks you behind the ropes and right to x-ray.
is this with or without pre-check as well?

Have family who are in high end restaurant space and own/operate 15 to 20 spots and they’re getting killed on labor - many from pre are Mia and can’t find new folks now. Killing them.

I’m super nervous about used/vintage.
Our posts crossed. We’ve been lucky and have had no problems except for her husband dropping it in the security line at the airport and cracking the face. -
I’m about to fall in this hole ... First, ladies watches seem like the suck to me. Really digging some of the seamasters (omega) and yacht-masters (rolex) - especially the 37mm yacht master - black dial is just so intense but that price tag is dumb for me. Last one is just a “regular” watch, date and day. Love the ice blue dial. I’m not a Flava-flav kinda gal and the 40mm+ just seem too large. Wish these models came in smaller sizes. I want one for the outdoors and boating actually. Not surfing so much but sailing and cruising just enjoying my time on the water when I’m sporty spice.
I love the style of some of the bigger omegas except their size - they seem like huge watches.
A few years ago I got my wife an old mens air king and she loves it. Can’t remember but I think it’s from the 70s or 80’s so it’s little by today’s sizing standards. Not for everyone but she loves it. -
Side by side? Like a coach gun? Or did you mean an over/under?
A double barrel side by side. Yildez actually has a cool little .410 over under that id rather get him but he’s really wanting a side by side and that’s cool with me. Certainly not as many of those floating around and a bit of a novelty when over unders are everywhere I’m my experience. -
cross posting from gun thread:
Going to get my soon to be 8 yr old a shotgun for his birthday. I'd rather get him a 20 ga just thinking long term but he's a little guy and is really really wanting a .410 so we'll probably go with that (and I do think a .410 can be a fun gun to hold on to). He's also really wanting a side by side and I see that there's a .410 side by side Yildiz at Academy. Any thoughts on this brand? The reviews seem pretty good but there aren't a ton of them out there. Any thoughts on / experience with Yildiz?

Gonna have a get together. How many raw per adult is standard? A dozen? 2?

I’ve asked this but forget the answer. Have an early 90s submariner that has stopped working. The hands don’t move when you spin the thing. Any places in Austin that can help? If not does is it the kind of thing you mail to the manufacturer? I’m original owner if they care.

Any recs on courses in and around Santa Fe? Going to be spending some time there and will hopefully get out a few times.

First off, I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful insight into what I am doing. Seriously.
I haven’t ever kept the bullets I have found. Interestingly, you are the second to ask me that in the last few hours. I am not a gun guy. Not against them, just don’t have experience. I’m a knife guy. Maybe I should start to collect them for enthusiasts.
This is the first time I have photographed what is obviously human remains. I did find what looked to be a human femur before, but I am not an expert and can’t confirm. This one was obviously abandoned forensic material. There was plenty of other “archived” police evidence that I am confident this was legit. Funny thing is I have been to this location before but didn’t see the bones until a friend came across them the other day. So I made a return trip. It was pretty surreal. I was surprised how light the femurs were.
Maybe some of these photos will make their way into future books I hope to publish, but time will tell. I am working with UH to donate many of my photos of Houston and graffiti/street art to their permanent collections for research purposes.great photos as always. (if you're willing) where (both location and type of building) did you find the remains? is that an old jailhouse? did you notify the cops or anything like that? not saying you should have just interested in how that went down / your thoughts.

Well, the whole thing really sucks. I liked golf so much better when he was playing and healthy. I was always really happy when he won just because it just kept building towards 19 and how huge would that be for him to be tied with Jack during the final round of major like The Masters, The Open at St. Andrews, US OP en at Pinehurst , or PGA at Baltusrol? I feel robbed as a golf fan since the injuries started mounting up. At this point, I think he is going to be done. I'm not sure that he will ever be able to play as well as he wants to as far as being able to compete for majors. I never cared about the off the course stuff with the cheating. I was a little surprised by it at the time just because Elin was so goddamned hot. Why mess around on that? At any rate, I hope he has a full recovery and goes on to have a long happy life raising his kids and banging waitresses. Maybe we'll get to see the next Tiger within our lifetimes.
Agreed. Now y’all who’re without sin can cast the first stone but he’s flesh and blood just like the rest of us. I enjoy watching all sport but Tiger at his peak is the best of all time for me. -
power was out for about 50 hours but been on but for a few short outages since early yesterday morning. having pressure issues with water now but other than that water has been good the whole time (pressure and hot/cold functioning). dripping inside and wrapped outside. if i continue to drip and no other obvious issues bw now and going above freezing for good tomorrow will i make it through unscathed?
tldr if water continues to function are you out of the woods once it gets above freezing (meaning not vulnerable to busting when warming up since you've maintained flow the whole time?)

I’m sorry I snapped. Just stressed out. Thanks to all with suggestions. My concern with turning off gas is that it won’t burn as hot and will be smokier but I will give it a shot. Thanks to all and sorry again. Just a bit on edge with all this bullshit.
Final question then I’ll stop the thread jack. Just turned off gas and fire immediately went to smoldering. Wood is kept in a place that it typically dry but the hell blizzard someone managed to get way under the porch and cover the stack so it’s a bit damp. So options are keep burning hot with gas rod lit or turn off and try and make to to friends’. Thoughts? -
My apologies and good luck. Your concern is well-founded.

. . . not sure if serious . . .
Fuck you bitch yes I’m fucking serious. This is an incredibly stressful situation and I’m weighing keeping my family here for the night sitting in a room that seems like it’s getting more and more smoke in it or losing them up and trying to get to friends which is also very dangerous as we’re in a hilly neighborhood. In normal times if I feel like smoke is coming back in the house we’d just open windows turn on fans not camp in front of the fire etc. none of this are options now. Fuck you and your lame ass tired unhelpful response.-

Make sure your chimney flue is open, and turn the gas off after the wood gets going.
Flue is open and have been burning a fire since Sunday night. Just feels like the smoke as gotten progressively more present inside the living room in the past few hours. We typically don’t sit in the same room for hours and hours with a roaring fire so just paranoid. -
I have a fire place with a rod across the bottom. Turn the gas on light the gas coming g out of pipe. Burn wood. I’m (1) concerned it seems to be getting a bit smoky in our living room and (2) worrried about us being right in front of fire place for hours at a time while that propane is blasting through that pipe and burning the wood. Any thoughts / help on those issues? Does it merit leaving house trying to get to friends?

Well, it’s ranging from 39-41 inside the house. Rough nights sleep in front of the fire, lots of blankets. Animals even got under the covers. They never do that. They are cold and miserable.
My daughters fish tanks some stairs died. All of em. She’s gonna be sad. Well tell her later.
We can’t keep this up. We’re going to shut down here. Turn off the water, drain all the pipes. Putting frozen jugs of water in the fridge to keep things cool.
If my old 4x4 will make It up the hill, we’re heading to my parents. They still have power, and their gad fireplaces actually can keep their house warm even if they lose it.
This is beyond bad. People are going to die. I have a long rant about our profit first, profit only deregulated market, and what it has now cost us, but I’ll save that for later.
For now, this is a life safety event. I’m worried about people and pets making it through the week. You need to start thinking in those terms. Do what you can to protect your property, but things can be replaced. Lives can’t. And with freezing rain coming, you’re going to be stuck wherever you are. So make it someplace you can survive.
Good luck. Going to start shutting things down. I’ll check back in later.
basically our situation. Gonna wait until warmest part of the day and try and 4WD it out of the hills and get to friends place. I’m more pissed / feel more helpless than I’ve ever been but then think about so many out there less fortunate who are truly facing life death situations. Just an amazing breakdown on so many levels. -
Going on hour 28 with no power in Barton hills. We all slept on floor in living room in front of fire but with these shitty original construction windows it can't be much above freezing in this house if at all. Down to barely any power on phone again but will go charge in car in a bit. No internet. No hot spot. No computer power. Neighbor tried twice to get out yesterday and just slid back down hill so stuck here. No telling how many across Texas died last night. Maddening. People need to go to jail for this.

Anyone been out in central Austin today? Lost power over 12 hours ago and considering hotels but don’t know if I can get to one.
-
No power here (78731) since 2 am. According to my thermapen, it’s 57 indoors. Kids are under the covers in mom and dads bed (it’s like Willy Wonka) watching downloaded Paw Patrol on a tablet.
Same here in Barton hills. -
I don't see any way to keep these fuckers from freezing. Last night I found two covers at the store when looking for pool noodles and also got some rubber pipe insulation. Went out freezing my ass off and rewrapped them this time with the rubber insulation then covered with the new covers then wrapped that and duct taped it all sealed. That shit is still gonna freeze. I wonder if we should open the valve just a bit to relieve pressure and when it thaws the water has somewhere to go.
Think I’m going hand-warmer, noodle, towels, plastic bag, tape and just hide and watch.
