  1. Good bloodlines
  2. Anyone ever made this? Bought a package the last time I was in Taos...
  3. Really the only things I've seen are multi-day packs at places like A-Basin or maybe "cheap" rates at smaller mountains but if its an Epic resort, you're pretty much fully screwed. Even their friends and family rates are pretty absurd.
  4. No, they can F off with 95% of AI usage. Now back to our regularly scheduled Longhorn thread. Central Texas data centers consume millions of gallons of water daily, according to an Austin Chronicle investigation published last week. Midsized data centers use approximately 300,000 gallons daily while large data centers can use as many as 4.5 million gallons per day, the Chronicle reports. Austin alone has 47 data centers while Dallas-Fort Worth has the most in the state at 189 facilities. A report by the Houston Advanced Research Center estimates data centers statewide will use 49 billion gallons of water this year. The facilities use the water to cool their powerful computers, which generate significant heat. Further exacerbating the strain on natural resources, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman broke ground last year on Abilene’s Stargate Texas data center, a $500 billion project announced by President Donald Trump in January. With a size 60 acres larger than Central Park, Stargate is soon to be the largest data center in the world, whether the parched landscape — or its electrical grid — can handle it or not. The facility is expected to use enough energy to power 750,000 homes, the Chronicle reports, while also being a massive drain on the water supply.
  5. Got some brisket... good and moist... and sausage. Former pitmaster from Rolling Smoke.
  6. Anyone hit up Two Goose on S. Lamar? Pretty good stuff. So, random... anyone tried one of those 7 lb holiday hams from Rudy's?
  7. Haven't been there since we moved to Austin. Used to really like their margaritas.
  8. I think we'll get a three day pass to A-Basin, one day at Copper and then either Loveland or WP unless someone knows a secret way to get cheap tix at Keystone (which is a no)
  9. Seems before me. 5 1/2 years since we made the move back and no regrets.
  10. Nailin antifungal?
  11. So I'm curious about Monarch especially the hike-out terrain but I wonder how long it will keep us occupied beyond 2 days, maybe 3. I want to ski it - Salida looks like a great town and I guess Cooper is 1:15 and Copper Mountain is 1:30 away from Salida.
  12. Right now we've got the Dillon place on hold. Really pissed I didn't buy some Epic Day passes in advance but I hate how they force you to decide especially on a year when you can't trust the snow.
  13. Arapahoe was my favorite for years until I went to Crested Butte. Such a great mountain... can't wait to introduce my son. Last two ski visits were in May so Pallavicini had stopped spinning so we should be good in March. I'm excited. Such a fun mountain!
  14. Have a friend who has a cabin right by there. Brutal. I mean, they won't even show you a live feed... Equally depressing - https://www.mtbachelor.com/the-mountain/webcams/
