  1. Many years ago I used Supershuttle quite a bit, but it seems like they folded during Covid, and reorganized, and now their rates are insane. I mean like 4 times what their old rates were. How is there not a van-based airport shuttle that can do it for $25 or so?
  2. I hope a Cat 5+ wipes Mar-a-Lago off the map.
  3. Pretty sure most security professionals would say carrying around that much cash is dumb. I hope this person doesn't make important decisions relating to security matters.
  4. I almost never eat at McDonalds unless external circumstances force me to, so I'm not up to date on their menu. Today, I wanted something "breakfasty" and McD's was the only thing nearby. I figure a sausage biscuit or egg mcmuffin would be a safe choice. So I go in and see some kind of breakfast combo that looks decent. Turns our I ordered something called a "McGriddle" by mistake, which on the menu board looks a lot like a biscuit. But instead of a biscuit, the top and bottom "bun" are some type of pancake saturated in a fake log-cabin syrup flavor. Yeah, it's on me for not ordering right--but here's an idea: don't sell a bunch of "breakfast sandwich" type products that look very similar on the menu. Stick with what you're known for. I bet 95% of McD's customers just want the regular biscuit or mcmuffin, not this griddle abortion that tastes like chemical death.
  5. "...university courses in Texas can't "require or attempt to require a student to adopt a belief that any race, sex, or ethnicity or social, political or religious belief is inherently superior to any other." Wait--isn't this the same thing as moral relativism? Which I thought conservatives hated? This sounds like they can't teach that White European Colonial culture is superior, or that Christianity is better than Islam. Is this like the time they accidentally banned all marriage by trying to ban gay marriage?
  6. Future generations will be indoctrinated in religious schools, taught a superficial understanding of history, and undereducated (at best) in hard science and critical thinking. A recipe for a permanent Republican majority. And the best part--we're paying for it. If the Robin Hood system is still going to exist, the City of Austin should refuse to make any more payments into it.
  7. Mine (Travis Co., NE Austin) went down about 2-3%. My neighbors on both sides got a bigger drop, more like 6-7%. I'm jealous.
  8. It makes me surly when buy I buy a new sportcoat or suit online and the pockets come all stitched up. I'll forget this shit and only find out when I'm late for a wedding and I don't have the time or tailoring tools to fuck with this shit. Just deliver the goddamn coat with the pockets already opened.
  9. For the ten thousandth time, "Can you imagine the reaction on Fox News if Obama had done this?"
  10. Well at least I won't have to worry about capital gains taxes for a while, since I won't have any. On an unrelated note, where can I buy mass quantities of canned cat or dog food, cheap? I like the Mighty Dog "Seared Beef" flavor the best but willing to consider other brands if price is right.
  11. And while we talk about enshittening, I'd also like to take this opportunity to complain that ALL airlines have completely fucked up up their service/ticket counter/check-in experience. They have all this counter space for customer service agents, but only put 1 or 2 overworked agents there to handle ticketing & baggage check, when there are literally mobs of people in line needing service. This is because some executive decided everyone will do all this ticketing and check-in shit electronically, but the real world isn't like that--there are situations and problems that need direct human interaction to resolve.
  12. I don't fly often, but when I did, I chose Southwest most of the time, because I liked the free checked bag policy (I don't like hauling shit around airports or fucking around for overhead bin space.) I also liked their open seating. Now I have zero reason to choose SWA,
  13. Disney's 20,000 Leagues under the Sea ride was better-engineered that some of these contraptions.
  14. As soon as that wave of showers got to the north side of Austin it evaporated and retreated.
  15. I want a team with a great inside game that dominates in the paint and around the rim. A team that can penetrate and take high percentage shots, instead of passing the ball around the perimeter until the shot clock expires. Will this be that?
  16. All that lighting and thunder around me but only five minutes of actual rain at my house
  17. When people who are extremely dumb, dishonest, and/or malevolent hold positions of high authority.
  18. Raining at my house!?
  19. They gonna convert the rainy day fund to bitcoin.
  20. Thankfully our Texas Legislature is tuned in to the latest science and is protecting all of us by banning mRNA vaccines (and in fact all medical treatments involving mRNA): https://kerrcountylead.com/virdell-to-lead-the-effort-to-ban-mrna-vaccines-in-texas/
  21. We just need to get serious and convert to French Revolutionary Metric Time. Failing that we need full time DST because I'm a childless degenerate who never gets up before noon, and mows my yard at 9:00 at night.
  22. That message seems to establish motive and, at least tacitly, suggests he put hands on her. I'm not a lawyer but my instinct would be to clam up about this, at least for any public communications.
  23. I've eaten yogurt there, once, 35 years ago (roughly). I didn't murder anybody there, I promise.
  24. Despicable and murderous. What a shitstain on the world.
  25. Also, why the FUCK does IRS not provide fillable PDF versions of the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet, what a fucking pain in the ass.
