  1. Is Gunnison Regional still closed for renos? And second for the pizza and beers at Secret Stash. Princess Bar generally has live music most evenings too.
  2. What do the longer range models show for Halloween Weekend? We've been lucky the last few years where most the Halloween’s have been colder than usual
  3. They’re definitely pushing him in as many skits as possible. Just watched the Kim K episode from this past weekend. She was a tremendously awful host.
  4. Nearly ten minutes into this episode. Is there a part where I can fast forward to something of substance on this “good listen” or are Joe and this guy going to just continue to talk about how Biden didn’t really get a COVID vaccine and it was all placebos for the next 2.5hrs?
  5. Some of the characters who played their respective younger parts were phenomenal. I’m not sure where to begin with which one was better but they were all playing distant second to Sil lol.
  6. As a general rule, I typically avoid chains but I make exceptions for North and his other concepts. TrueFood is great too. I haven’t been to North Domain in years but grabbing a nightcap and dessert at the bar at the Second Street location is something we do quite frequently. Tons of talent running around in there and great people watching.
  7. Question for those who have done it recently. I have what most would consider to be a large pool, approx 35’ x 20’ and a depth around 9’ which I’ll be draining and re-tiling this winter. When it’s time to refill this thing, should I plan to simply drop in a couple hoses or do I need to have a truck come fill the water? My pool guy told me it should only cost a couple hundred to fill from a hose but that seems awfully low. I had a leak a few years back which couldn’t get repaired for about three weeks and I was needing to fill my pool up 2-3” every few days. My water bill that month was around $1500. Just trying to determine whether or not I need to be preparing for a several thousand dollar water bill after dropping some serious coin for the redo. I’m City of Austin, fwiw.
  8. Well. They’re kinda right. Rivalries usually aren’t such a massive blowout
  9. Is the work on 360 of removing all the lights still expected to begin in a few months?
  10. I can’t recall the number of Austin summers in which we went for the trifecta of rain on Memorial Day, the 4th and Labor Day. What a summer.
  11. Apparently the White Lotus is somewhere near Arctic Circle in the summer months because the sun is constantly present during the middle-of-the-night scenes.
  12. After today’s ep, I’m guessing the ‘Shit Tyrone, Get It Together’ meme has been officially been replaced by Patrick. Woof, that was bad.
  13. Yea, Steph may have been one of my Top 2-3 thus far. Thought he was really solid.

    Burgers

    We’ve been doing dirty weekly since it reopened. Gotdam their burgers have been fire lately.
  15. When all of this is over it would be interesting to compare this summer to Summer 2007. I would guess May-June-July ‘07 had a higher rainfall amount but this summer has had more days of measurable rain.
  16. The opening theme song never get old.
  17. I was reading a story a couple months ago about an individual and his weight loss journey. I don’t remember the specifics but when he started he was in the 5’9” - 5’10 range and around 350lbs. Like many of you suggested, he documented everything he consumed. But, taking it one step further, he also journaled his friends and families reactions so he could use it as motivation along the way. What he found was interesting and ultimately became the greater “story” within his story. Almost all of the feedback he received the first 100-120 lbs of his weight loss were what you expected: constant encouragement, praisings of his physical appearances, offers from people to join him on his morning walks, near constant pats on the back, etc. However, as he continued to lose the weight he ultimately fell below the “normal” weight of that of his social group and he began noticing the responses from his friends changed drastically. Suddenly the comments of “you look great, keep up the good work!” gave way to “don’t you feel like you’ve earned a break?” and near constant pushing of people urging him to sneak in a dessert or two, encouraging to incorporate more cheat days and meals into his diet, etc. The last 20lbs of his journal basically became people non-stop trying to talk him out of everything they had praised him for the first year+ The piece went much more in depth on the matter but the crux of it was everyone was encouraging of his actions until it ultimately turned the mirror on them.
  18. Totally anecdotal but during my Saturday morning beer run this morning I noticed, perhaps for the first time ever, HEB was completely out of ice. It may just be coincidental but that was the first time I’d ever seen that occur.
  19. From the looks and sounds of it here in West Austin, big things appear to be imminent.* *subject to change because of forcefield and all
  20. I know nothing about ERCOTs security features but I would imagine, given recent past performances, they’re ripe for the next big hack by a foreign source.
  21. That KXAN article from last week sure seems silly four days later
