  1. I get your anger and fear (especially having babies in the house and probably being a first time father you’re very protective) you’ve probably experienced over the last several days, but damn with the fuck yourself part. I think inkas point was missed with the way he said it (I think he even came back to add context and apologized before your response). I wasn’t as prepared for this as I should have been and I have some regret. My oldest is off at college and went 48 hours without power and an extended time without water. I haven’t slept for days due to my worries about him. I wish I would have prepared him better for something like this (they’re fine and have had power and water off and on since this morning). I never thought to advise him to buy candles and his biggest issue wasn’t the 46 degree apartment or no water or no warm food. It was the total darkness all around him. Nothing had power. He just wanted to have a bit of visibility. Talking to him last night he stated that it’s on us to do our best to be prepared and not depend on others and I agree.  I mean read these threads. None of us know what we should do regarding our damn faucets. Full blast, stream, trickle, cut off main water at street, should we get out and blast them with blow dryers. I don’t know the best thing to do regarding faucets. I’ve always just wrapped my spigots outside and covered them with the styrofoam covers.  Should we all have generators? Should we all carry a set of winter tires? should we all go buy propane heaters? Should we all buy 4x4s? Look at the thread Is pools worth it? Should we all go and no whatever northerners do with their pools during winter? I mean the list goes on.  I don’t know, but I’m going to be better prepared next time. 
    The power issue I get. I’m pretty damn frustrated with how our state handled it.  Also, hobbs I totally understand where you’re coming from. I just hate this site when we start cussing and hating one another. 


    Cool manifesto bro. Go fuck yourself.

  2. My power appears to be back on in Houston - Memorial. I believe it came back on at about 4 am, but I've been warned of rolling black outs. So fingers crossed, and knock on wood. 
    Thanks to the Minnesota poster upthread that suggested a Mr. Heater indoor space heater. It won't help much this go around, but I'll be ready next time. In the mean time, I'll use it stay warm on my back porch. 


    Yours back off yet? Memorial and Wilcrest came on about the same time and crapped out at 9:30.

    Only other shot I took. Taste was fantastic. Not as stark in an a5 wagyu steak vs prime but that’s to be expected. I should have known this but the things hemorrhaged volume as the fat melted. Turned out smaller and swimming in fat after a couple of minutes per side. 35 bucks per pound on Crowd Cow was expensive but not shaggy 1% for a go.

    And the a5 I’ve bought on Crowd Cow and Wagyu Shop has been legit. They come with certificates (and, yes, I know those could well be shit as well but the quality has matched) and the marbling has been spot on with a5 pics from restaurants.

  4. Got some a5 wagyu ground beef from Crowd Cow. I want to make burgers but I’m thinking it’s not really going to hold together given it’s 40-50% fat. The only thing I can figure to do is mix it with about 25% lean ground beef and hope for the best. Has anyone done this before or have any thoughts?

  5. I got a text this morning that they had a bunch of Moderna they needed to get in arms today in Houston so appointments were open to everyone.  I registered at noon and was injected at 12:30, all drive-through, no lines.  You did have to have an appointment and, unfortunately, the web site is now down, which I take to mean the slots are all filled.  It was through https://www.cureminder.com/ if something like this pops up again.

    He's much easier to trade this year than next when his cap hit for a receiving team goes up to 35 million from about 10m this year.  In other words, the economics of his contract makes it, its own poison pill or artificial no trade clause.  Why have an unhappy asset who could easily decide to protect himself from injury until he's traded.  I get it, you're probably a fan and looking for possible solutions or the best way out of this mess, but as most examples will show you, the walls close in on you and the way out is to trade a distressed asset for cents on the dollar.  You can still do well if you work objectively, quickly, and wisely, but the Texans are most likely not going to do well in this transaction because you have many of the same awful players who put you in this mess, still making the decisions.

    Watson is most likely going to leave and sooner than later, how and how well the Texans do will come from how quickly the come to terms with it and how well they work the phones in finding the best deal.  Let the NBA show you the way.  Kawhi's career really didn't see much, if any, but temporary blowback with his situation.  Same with Anthony Davis, same with James Harden, etc, etc, etc.  I doubt Watson's "image" is going to be hurt very much, even if this gets ugly, because the Texans are so mismanaged and frankly, crazy, that the narrative has been already largely written.....  in short, unless they can pull off a miracle (religious or otherwise), they'll be forced to trade him and he'll never be part of the Texans future again.

    You talk fancy.  Are you fancy?

    Being a professional athlete (and a star qb at that) in NYC seems like it would be pretty fucking awesome. Also, Watson is the type of player that free agents would follow to NY. Allen Robinson is a free agent. Kenny Golladay is a free agent. I don’t know, man. I think he could make them pretty interesting quickly. They were 7-9 two years ago. 

    You think professional athletes are going to take a pay cut to follow a QB to a team because, in part, they 7-9 two years ago?  Sounds like a no-brainer.

  8. "a complete compromise of matters involving disputed issues of law and fact"  what does this mean in English?


    It means they’ve settled and the language is intended to ensure neither party later tries to renege on the settlement. Lawyer words.

  9. Absolutely no reason to pay for A5 for a brisket. Just buy 20 oz or so of strip and cut them up into 2x4 slices and sear them. Keep the grease in the pan and cook some eggs in the morning. 
     
    Also, true A5 is from Japan and comes with a copy of the birth certificate from the cow, including a “fingerprint” of its nose. 


    I get one of those from91b99596131fb56ebb23fbbfce53a349.jpg time to time and am pondering the brisket. Here’s a Hokkaido strip, complete with certificate from Japan.

  10. I’ve been tempted to splurge on a Japanese a5 flat, because it sounds awesome In theory, but I have no idea if wagyu quality in taste translates to a flat and/or if low and slow cooking will negate the marbling flavor found in a ribeye or strip cut. Flats are (as you would expect) much cheaper than steak cuts but still pricey. Opinions?
