  1. Every time I read this thread I am reminded of the importance of staying away from dealerships for non-warranty work. Those dealership all serve the most expensive "free" cups of coffee that you'll ever drink.
  2. That's a damn shame! Thanks for posting.
  3. I've been wondering about that, as well. The impact videos demonstrated that they had no lack of fuel. The ATC recordings indicated that English was not the pilot's first language. My guess is after he overran the runway the first time, he made the famous "impossible turn" and lost lift and control.
  4. I switched all of our cars to TollTag several years ago and could not be more pleased. Efficient and no fuck ups.
  5. Got it. This old hasn't been to one of those fast food places in 20+ years. If I'm desperate, I'll grab sushi at an HEB. Otherwise, I go sit at a restaurant bar and eat real food along with cocktails.
  6. Are you guys all poors? It sounds like it if your are bitching about prices at (checks notes) Wendy's?
  7. This aggression will not stand. Car crashes into North Austin pho restaurant https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/pho-van-austin-crash/269-7b8f0749-cfbd-4750-87e7-da1a8f0ea163
  8. Hey @YGIFS -- Ego's lives! Gaining 50 Floors and Saving a Dive Bar on South Congress Avenue JAMES RAMBIN FEBRUARY 27, 2024 https://austin.towers.net/gaining-50-floors-and-saving-a-dive-bar-on-south-congress-avenue/?pro=jude@towers.net
  9. The so-called Save Our Springs group is insufferable and increasingly irrelevant. This project is a long way downstream and will remediate and improve an old industrial plant to a better use given the changes that have happened in East Austin. Groups sue Austin officials over plan to redevelop dairy plant site https://www.kut.org/austin/2024-02-26/groups-sue-austin-officials-over-plan-to-redevelop-dairy-plant-site
  10. Speaking of The Pier -- a reunion show of the Armadillo World HQ house band -- Too Smooth.
  11. As long as there are Anderson Trojans around, I suspect that Wally's will be around. https://www.wallysaustin.com/
  12. I struggled with where to post this story, but Steel Shank it is! I'm a liver and onions guy, BTW. Demolition Pending for Northwest Austin's Former Luby's Cafeteria https://austin.towers.net/demolition-pending-for-northwest-austins-former-lubys-cafeteria/?pro=jude@towers.net
  13. I'm meh to neutral on City Hall. The Central Library is bad gubmint on steroids. I'm even more bothered by the Seaholm Power Plant. That could have been a terrific Austin cultural resource if it had been done correctly.
  14. Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi. Lots of talent at the pool during the day. Get a cabana. Tip your server. You'll do fine.
  15. You are on the right thread. Listen to these guys.
  16. That American flight is what attracted me. I'm getting tired of fighting through big airports if I don't absolutely have to.
  17. Subscribed. We were in SF for a family event in December. Cannot see us taking the time to go there again. But we took a couple of days after that to see Monterey, PG, and Carmel. So great. I think I'd go back there just to eat grilled octopus! Flying in directly to Monterey looks like the way to go.
  18. Mi Cocina now does an upcharge if you want borracho beans instead of refritos. What is the world coming to?
  19. That #5 is a #1 Dinner!
  20. One of my fraternity brothers is known for always ordering a #1 Dinner without even looking at the menu. It usually works out OK.
  21. I've been aware of several swinger couples amongst the folks I've worked with over the years. The closest that I've seen to ENM was an attractive 60ish woman that was married to a guy that no longer had the lumber. She told errybody that she had his permission to find some wood.
  22. Surly Gold here. Folks conflating ENM with EDM!
  23. I had a cousin who went down that path. His Momma was always glad when he was incarcerated. She could sleep well at night not worrying about him getting into more trouble! The family had to cut him loose financially regarding bail or lawyers after a couple of trips to Huntsville.
