  1. In a strange twist of fate, my son has a ring personalized for Bernie and it has his name engraved in the inner ring of it. So this hits ever so slightly close to home
  2. Question for the board: How good is the internet at the resorts on Ambergris Cay? I am an IT person that manages several mission critical systems and I am currently short one member of my team. I am trying to take a week off and go to Belize in late May/early June, but will need to be able to log in and troubleshoot work systems in case of real emergencies. I don't need a lot in the context of around Austin, but am unfamiliar with Belizian resort wifi quality. Can I expect 3omb internet or am I looking at like 2mb? Thanks
  3. "Heinous Whore" would be a great death metal band name.
  4. I agree with gurt. I love doing GIS work but there just isn’t enough money to make me like it that much.
  5. The suckage from oklahoma
  6. It’s pretty simple to cross reference your Randall’s card to your credit card. HEB keeps track of your purchases this way. That’s how they spit out the targeted coupons when you pay. I keep waiting to hear that Google/Waze is going to sell my data to my car insurance company and skyrocket my rates.
  7. At $400M an hour in losses, get a fleet of Egyptian military choppers and start picking off those containers one at a time in rotation.
  8. Back in the 70's when I was about 8 years old, my dad lost a bet that he didn't feel like he really lost. To pay the bet, he got one of those old glass ~ 2 gallon milk jugs with the long skinny neck and put $100 worth of pennies in it and then filled it the rest of the way with honey. A few months later, my brothers and sisters and mom and I came home one afternoon and opened the garage door and there was a live goat tied up in our garage. Apparently the guy that had won the previous bet had lost a subsequent bet and chose to pay with a goat.
  9. Hello fellow map nerd. What did you parlay your GIS studies into if you don’t mind me asking? I’m always curious where GISers ended up since most move on to something different. I ended up an IT guy that does virtually nothing with maps.
  10. I priced Balcones Country Club last year. It was like $1200 initiation and like $250/month. That was the golf rate. I am sure she found some "Social Membership" for like $50/month. It's not like she is breaking the bank here. Especially since this $75k/year job is the best money she's made in her life since cam whoring. Someone told her to quit getting hammered at Shennanigans and The Mill if she wants to keep climbing that political ladder. This gives her a place to drink where she can still swerve herself home and maybe not kill anyone while drunk driving.
  11. Did Karen already leave for Nebraska or was she there to post the bond?
  12. I knew he had to be leaving soon when he was throwing barbs at the sitting Texas AG via public twitter last week. Not that the sitting Texas AG doesn't deserve them, but it isn't common for a high profile Police Chief to publicly attack an AG.
  13. I don’t remember the exact recruit.
  14. "Whatever do you mean, the kool aid tastes funny?" - Jim Jones
  15. The bag she drove to Florida and dropped while basically documenting and telegraphing it the entire way was too much. Jimbo had to cut bait after that, which is basically when she finally shut the fuck up. Now her ego is scorned and battered by being neglected by her only true love, so she is setting herself out to pasture. And absolutely no one gives a fuck about her. Seminole fans, aggie fans, Texas fans...she is universally hated. Such a shame for such a pleasant person.
  16. PRIME steaks? Marbling looks as though they could be prime. Is this the right thread for prime steaks? Also, it comes as no surprise whatsoever that Steel Shank is a NY Strip man. Every man worth his salt understands that it is the far superior cut. And they look like they are almost ready. I'd say another 60 seconds per side and they are done to perfection. Only thing I'd add is about 10X that amount of black pepper.
  17. My organization was building a new facility for a different business unit and they incorporated a bunch of money into the build to house our backup/DR datacenter. We were included in all the design and drawings discussions to make sure we had everything we needed included on the design. Construction took about two years, and about a month prior to opening the facility for use, the contractors allowed us in to start putting in switching and networking equipment. We walked into the proposed datacenter and someone had done a change order mid stream that no one bothered to tell IT about. The change order ran about six exposed 2" water lines directly over the top of, and down the full length of, the eight server racks. Management couldn't understand why we refused to put several million dollars worth of equipment into the room.
  18. She had some other event at that same place. I am pretty sure that place is in Old Town RR, so not even in the same City as the one she is supposed to represent.
  19. Thanks for the info. I think we should be able to safely avoid most of the bullshit.
  20. Does anyone know what Port A looks like for Spring Break these days? Back in the stone age when I was in High School, we would ride our dinosaurs down there and the beach would be wall-to-wall people getting shitfaced for several miles down the beach. I was actually waiting in line for the ferry to leave the day the riot broke out back in 88. There would be two lanes of traffic going both direction and either side flanked by parked cars and drunken revelers. I would guess it is not quite the same as it used to be, but really have no idea. We are heading down next week for 5 days. Staying a private house so we won't have to deal with a bunch of drunk kids in a hotel. Just curious what to expect on the beaches.
  21. They have to continually take more WR's to replace the ones that portal out once they realize they won't ever catch any passes.
  22. They finally got the site fixed and completely caught up on all of the transaction last night. Three and half months seems pretty good for that, right?
  23. Happy Birthday, Texas!!!
  24. I’ve forgotten what number you have to order, but Top Notch has a secret menu item that includes: Longhorn burger Fries Drink 1 piece of your choice bone in fried chicken 1 fried pie of you flavor choice.
