  1. "Too much butter" looks like a damn near perfect cookie.
  2. Roughly 25 years in the making. Released today, though people in the eastern hemisphere have been playing since yesterday. Really good reviews. Sitting at 92 on Metacritic. Don't know how this is even possible yet since it's only been out for about 24 hours, but according to howlongtobeat, it clocks in about 71 hours to complete the main story and all side missions. I'm guessing a full completionist playthrough is 100+. Much more open world than FF7 Remake (which was still pretty great, and definitely worth picking up if you haven't).
  3. Y'all seen these air-burst FPV drones yet? Basically a remote-controlled, flying claymore.
  4. This may have hit a snag. CVX warned in an investor note Monday that XOM may assert that they have a right of first refusal over Hess' 30% stake in the Guyana project, jeopardizing the acquisition.
  5. Today's ST lineup looks like something we'd have trotted out at the major league level back in 2013.
  6. I did this exact same thing on Sunday with a couple of friends. $30 got me 6 lbs of the large EZ peel. Basic boil with a some potatoes, corn and andouille. It would have been a perfect day for a crawfish boil, but shrimp will have to do for now.
  7. Felt like middle of May when I left for work this morning. Low 80's and muggy AF. I certainly enjoyed the glorious Spring-like weather we had last week and this past weekend, but it's way too early in the year for days like today.
  8. Cats finally get their man, and it's a solid one. McCloud was one of the top remaining transfer QB's in the country. Lot of speculation that he would end up somewhere much bigger.
  9. A happier story involving BRK today. Her late husband left her over a billion in Berkshire stock. She donated it all.
  10. Man, I just don't know how some people do it. There's a retired couple in their late 60's or so that works out at my gym in the mornings. Always together. They go hop on the treadmills side-by-side and the wife literally just talks into her husband's ear, non-stop stream of consciousness without pause the entire time. He never says a word beyond "yep" or "uh huh" every now and then. Just stares blankly ahead. I presume at this point he just hears a high-pitched tone or something. After the treadmills, they go use various weight machines, and the wife always is on whatever machine is next to her husband, yakking in his general direction. I'd have to give up exercising entirely if every trip to the gym meant that my wife was gonna tag along and try to talk me to death the entire time. This man appears to have the patience of a saint, but I just know that deep down, buried somewhere in his gut, there's a "goddamnit woman, do you ever shut the hell up??!???!" just waiting to escape.
  11. First 2 episodes air tomorrow night. 10 total episodes releasing weekly on Tuesdays through the final week of April. I'll probably wait until April to dive in. Doesn't seem like the kind of show I will want to take a week off between each episode.
  12. I'm enjoying my Dad's new hobby of building deer stands for me and my brother's deer lease from scrap lumber he salvages from construction sites in his neighborhood (with the builder's permission). Just told us on Saturday that he has been gathering scraps to start building us a 2nd stand later this Spring. Haven't been back out to the lease since New Years, so need to figure out a random weekend in March to head out to go do some work on the camp house and scout locations for this new stand.
  13. The surviving members of Power Trip just announced they're getting back together, and the singer from Fugitive will be their new frontman. Power Trip is back, baby! Here's some fun footage from a surprise reunion they did at a Fugitive show in Austin back in December.
  14. I knew Teare growing up back in Beaumont. He was classmates with my older brother before he moved to Houston for high school. Crazy to think that a guy who used to spent the night at my childhood home will likely be the DA of the biggest city in Texas.
  15. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVDA, has risen about 5 spots on the Bloomberg Top 100 List in the past 24 hours. Net worth has gone up nearly $10B since he got out of bed this morning.
  16. Blowout. 265% increase in revenue YOY. Stock up 8% after hours to nearly $730.
  17. Love the lineup this year. I'm a Bobcat. Wife is an LSU die-hard. Good chunk of my friends are UT guys. Got the weekend passes and will for sure be attending LSU vs. UT on Friday night and TXST vs. LSU on Sunday afternoon.
  18. Pit Room's 2nd location out in Memorial City is almost ready. They just posted yesterday that they're hiring staff for an expected March opening.
  19. Seeing very early signs of price improvements. I keep an eye on Boyd's seafood market down in Texas City since they post prices just about every day. They have sacks for $5.55/lb today, which is still crazy high, but that's down from $6.99/lb just a week ago.
  20. Yeah, aside from about 60 hours during the January freeze, I'm struggling to remember many genuinely "cold" days that required much more than a light jacket or pullover here in Houston.
  21. Welp, this will throw a wrench in Comer's "investigation"
  22. Watched the first episode of Killer Paradox last night. Will definitely stick with it. Korean crime drama that just came out last weekend. About a timid college kid that "accidentally" kills a guy and the detective assigned to investigate. 100% on RT and user scores are very good too. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/a_killer_paradox/s01
  23. "Real shame about the diagnosis, Earl." "Yep, it's a real kick in the ass. Ya' know, I think I'm gonna go hunt the suicide stand this evening. If I'm not back at the camp after sundown, please come retrieve my corpse before the hogs catch wind."
