Tell me about Texas Tech
I will say this... I always pulled for Tceh when they played aggy, not to mention the ass kicking y'all administered to Aaron Rodgers in the Holiday Bowl. We will forever owe you for that. The day the BCS pairings were released, Cal quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Brown "was a little classless" for begging for poll votes to help his Longhorns, and that the system was "faulty." The Longhorns, by the way, beat Texas Tech 51-21 at Lubbock on Oct. 23. Texas Tech fans mocked Cal with chants of "Overrated!" in the closing minutes. Oh yeah... I forgot how hilarious this was...

Diego Pavia - The Chihuahua that thinks he's a Mastiff
First time I drove to NM was from Houston to Pasadena from the Rose Bowl. You could tell the difference when you crossed the Texas state line and when you crossed into Arizona. Now I make the trip to NM to either go to Santa Fe/Taos or up to ski Colorado. I love parts of the state... mainly Santa Fe, in/around Taos, Dixon, etc. but the rest is rough. Crossing from Texas through Clovis, you almost appreciate the quick gas stop in Fort Sumner and then you just want to get to Santa Fe unless you're grabbing Carl's Jr in Santa Rosa. I do like the drive from Cline's Corners to Santa Fe or Las Vegas over past Sipapu to Taos but, if I have my choice, will never do the drive through Roswell and north or the corner by Raton. That stretch suuucks so much ass as you cross into Texas and just keeps sucking.

But here's the thing with recycling that water... you can only recycle it so many times and then you have to get rid of it... https://ketos.co/closed-loop-cooling-water-saver-or-chemical-time-bomb Operators bleed a small fraction of water each month to keep these levels in check, a practice known as blow-down. Even a 2% monthly bleed sounds proactive, yet contaminants can still rise much faster than in open towers that take on fresh water continuously. Higher cycles push minerals out of solution, feed microbial slime, and shorten equipment life. The bigger worry sits outside the fence. When blow-down finally leaves the site, it can carry nitrite, glycol, and heavy metals at thousands of times the limits set for surface waters. In other words, the water saved today may return tomorrow as a very different kind of liability.- Pastries / Bakery
As an Italian who is perfectly content eating pastries for breakfast and not giant egg and bacon type meals, let's talk good pastry shops. Sweetish Hill - damn those prices suck but I really like the new S. 1st Street location Sour Duck - so good they supply pastries all over town Central Market - cheap and solid I'm going to start with those three but I'm also here to bemoan the loss of Patika.- Austin -- We are losing this place

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.- I for one welcome our new AI overlords
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.- Texas BBQ

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?- Austin dreams
Haven't been there since we moved to Austin. Used to really like their margaritas.- Ski Season 2025/2026
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)- Austin dreams
Seems before me. 5 1/2 years since we made the move back and no regrets.- Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.
Nailin antifungal?- Ski Season 2025/2026
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.- Ski Season 2025/2026
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.- Ski Season 2025/2026
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! - I for one welcome our new AI overlords
