  1. The forecase for this coming weekend in Austin is 50 to 60% chance of rain, from Friday to Monday. No variation in the 50 to 60% chance the entire weekend. Trying to plan some activities. What's driving this forecast?
  2. It's overblown. You'll see tons of homeless people. You'll see lots of people hanging out. Some will ask you for money. You may see people using drugs. Otherwise it's the normal expectations of a big city - don't walk down dark alleys at 2am, don't leave anything visible in a rental car, be alert to your surroundings, etc.
  3. These storms better start putting in the work if they want to be in Austin by 5pm 1:30p:
  4. If someone is controlling the weather, they are doing a shitty job in Texas.
  5. Apparently I'm okay with a lot of gross things and/or have very low standards:
  6. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/inside-amazon-studios-jen-salke-vision-shows-1235364913/ “All this perpetuation of white guys with guns — it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy,”
  7. "much much more grounded in reality. Only through 4" Just wait.
  8. Definitely recommend Beef if you like over the top plot mixed with deep emotional work. Felt like a toned down Everything Everywhere All at Once.
  9. You're not asking me but just came back, so I'm going to answer anyway! About $1100 for IAH nonstop to Narita. Flying to Japan is like most places - expensive in the summer, cheaper before and after the summer.
  10. Waves A very intense, emotional film that focuses on a driven father and driven son in the first half. Then something happens and everything changes. https://a24films.com/films/waves
  11. Number of houses without power continues to go up
  12. Glad that the NWS employs people who can't write numbers with a mouse on a computer just like me
  13. Definitely a lot more rain in the last hour than all morning.
  14. I'm a member of an expat group for Playa Del Carmen and they have been so excited that Uber is now available. Lotta foreign residents in PDC are tired of taxis.
  15. Do you want to be an awesome parent? MOTOCROSS CAMP https://ironhorsecountry.com/
  16. It's a thread about movies where the second half is a lot different than the first half.
  17. HVAC person: Make sure you run your AC in the winter to keep it from seizing up from non-use Me: Can do
  18. Movies that switch genres midway through the movie. The tone changes, the atmosphere changes. The second half of the movie is very different from the first half. First up...From Dusk Til Dawn. First half of the movie is a roadtrip with a kidnapping. Tense and creepy. Second half is balls out vampires and gore and killings.
  19. Do you know which type it might be? This instructional video can help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8Ow1nlafOg
  20. Bag chairs have the diagonal supports that cut into your leg. These don't.
  21. You're Next The trailer makes it looks like a "dumb family gets slaughtered by killers" but it's much more fun than that.
  22. Hoping for a Japan trip in early 2023. May want a side trip to go snowboarding. The trip isn't just for snowboarding, but if the snowboarding is good enough, why not go try it out?
  23. The Watcher is a magazine article stretched out into a mini-series. It's the classic "we don't have enough material but let's make it a Netflix series anyway" show on Netflix. I've become suspicious of any true crime/thriller series on Netflix. Watching them on Netflix is like answering an unknown number that called your cell.
  24. I'm thinking greater Nagano area. I've done some research and it seems doable. I'm hoping for some personal experiences, tips, general ideas.
