  1. You didn’t get a friendly return desk person like I have before. Here is what they told me. Go inside, buy at the cheaper price. Take it out to your vehicle, and then take it directly to the return desk (you have to leave the store with it). The purchase system updates overnight, so it will only have the record of your previous purchase at the higher price. Old one never leaves your house.
  2. Recent renewal info for anyone that wants the datapoint. state department received my renewal paperwork 2/28. New passport in my mailbox 3/20. I did not do anything expedited, as it was set to expire in August. they are turning them out quick currently.
  3. Oh I'm in full agreement with you. Sorry if my allergy infested brain made it come off a different way. Fuck off oak/cedar/mold!
  4. Yeah, I'm a member of the Apple fanboy club, and this has been a long time coming. I think anyone that has seen the results in the EU knew this was just a matter of time. I still expect them to draw it out in the US as long as possible. Healthy competition is good for us lowly consumers.
  5. .36 inches at my place in 48. Just missed the heavy blob to our east.

    SpaceX

    That plasma phase was absolutely amazing.
  7. We went to Ling Wu back in the fall, and it was some of the best food we have had in Austin in several years, so I'm not surprised. We are far south, so just haven't had a chance to try Kitchen, but it has been on our list. Damn that looks good.
  8. Yeah. Fuck Siri. Three years of being able to set my smart scenes in my smart home, and in the last month, “set warm” has only attempted to set alarm and vice versa. I’m a full on Apple fanboy, and Siri is a trash product, that shouldn’t even be in beta (and I have lived full beta for all of my Apple OS’s for a decade). it’s a goddamn disgrace. I held out on buying Echo dots for voice commands for my smart home because I assumed Siri would get better and I could get Apple HomePods when the kinks had worked out. That was 8 years ago. My 6 echo dots were less than $25 total on deals, and work flawlessly for quick commands. My phone and watch are terrible in comparison.
  9. I’m not saying it’s right, first and foremost. But Apple would say, if you just bought a Mac, you wouldn’t need a browser version, as it’s a built in app. so it’s not an issue for me, with my MBP. I understand your yelp complaints. And I have the same for google, as they are also trash. I’d be ok if either removed all reviews from the apps. Let me seek out validation separately.
  10. In Texas it's superior to Google maps. Both in the cities and in the sticks. Come a long way. Siri is a fucking embarrassment to Apple. Jobs would have that entire dev team's heads on Pikes in the center of Apple Park years ago. Such a waste.
  11. She’d beat the ever living fuck outta you for saying that. And me for having that avatar. Southern Baptist woman to her core. But damn could she cook.
  12. My great grandmother died last weekend. She was 106. Spent the first 70 years of her life in Pampa. She is going to be buried there (if anything is left) in June. So, so glad she didn’t see this.
  13. Sebbies are great. I’ve had 5 or 6. Sold most, I still have the Insingo (wharncliff) blade version. Actually carried it today. Also have an Mnandi, and his chef’s knife. mine is a 21, but heard great things about the 31 as well. They are the bar which all other folders are compared against. Get one. (I’d do it in a different blade shape, as I find the tanto pretty useless for anything other than stabbing). the Insingo is the best slicer. Hands down. Why I still have one. Drop point is closely behind. heres the one thing I will say. Once you justify the Sebbie, it will be hard not to justify lots of semi-customs or customs. Hope your wallet is prepared.
  14. When Paxlovid first got temporary approval, the urgent care would not prescribe it to me due to having high BP. Luckily I didn't need it, as that time it turned out to be a big nothing burger (my third time).
  15. Ditch Tapa. Use browser. Navigate to surlyhorns.com. tapa is early 2000s garbage.
  16. Serviced restored for me in Austin.
  17. Yeah, I had that realization after I hit submit. Of Course the billing system is up. I'd imagine that would work after an EMP.
  18. I'm surprised their billing system has not crashed. First thing I checked when I got to the office this morning was that I was paid up. Everyone I have talked to has done the same.
  19. Not for me. All my Wifi cams and home network are reachable remotely for me.
