  1. 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.
  2. Well. They’re kinda right. Rivalries usually aren’t such a massive blowout
  3. Not.SEC.Ready.
  4. Is the work on 360 of removing all the lights still expected to begin in a few months?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. After today’s ep, I’m guessing the ‘Shit Tyrone, Get It Together’ meme has been officially been replaced by Patrick.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.
  8. Yea, Steph may have been one of my Top 2-3 thus far. Thought he was really solid.
  9. Those are some amazingly scary videos.

    Burgers

    We’ve been doing dirty weekly since it reopened. Gotdam their burgers have been fire lately.
  11. 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.
  12. The opening theme song never get old.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. That KXAN article from last week sure seems silly four days later
  18. The Mick Foley one was great. What a good man. I hope his body and mind allow him to continue to stay sharp because he brings about a lot of good in this world.
  19. After nearly everything, Travis only got 4.5’
  20. “She’s kind of like a female Stringer Bell.” <camera pans to Marlo> lol
  21. At some point we need these rains to train over the Perdenales. Thus far the last three weeks have done jack to Travis.
  22. Another good rain storm right now in Central Austin. lol at almost all the forecasts showing a dry Memorial Day Weekend just as recently as Wednesday/Thursday. Are we still pretty certain the sun will come out today or are we looking at clouds all morning and afternoon?
  23. Remember June ‘07 when there was measurable rainfall in like 25 of the 30 days? That was kinda nice for the lakes.
  24. KXAN better bring Uncle Jim back out of retirement for this. Although on second thought, he was filling in for David Suits on Tuesday and he predicted less than 10% chance of rain for today. So maybe the game has passed him by. Who knows. Turn my fahking power back on.
  25. I stand by the post I made back in February when I went 98 hours without power. If this lasts more than 18 hours, I’m posting Adler’s cell on both Surly and Reddit. FAAFO
