    Wu Chow and Lin’s for authentic (I guess. Don’t know what you mean by that) Old Thousand for new El Chino from 1990 n Sixth Street for nostalgia.
  2. Just watched the France match. Forwards played great in the first half, but never could convert a try. At half I thought not taking the PK was a mistake but there was no way we were stopping France in the second half. We need to beat Tonga for sure. Hopefully we can beat Argentina next Tuesday too. Offloading by the French, and their kicking game in the first half, was fun to watch.
  3. Some matches are on NBCSN (including Australia v Fiji that kicks off in 30 minutes). It’s part of my ATT Uverse lineup. Lot of young players for the Eagles. And they got a tough pod. Other than Tonga, not sure I see a win though. England Thursday will be a big test. I think England has a good shot at winning it all.
  4. There doesn’t appear to be a SCOTUS thread, so I’m posting this here. Constitutionality of Warren’s CFPB will be argued by an amicus as DOJ has agreed with the petitioner that it is unconstitutional. https://reason.com/2019/09/17/cfpb-decides-that-the-cfpb-is-unconstitutional/
  5. Just got my report back from ProTax. 11.12% reduction. Just goes to show how aggressive Travis County is and likely how many people who don’t protest are getting screwed by their local government.
  6. Paris in Epcot and Brown Derby in Studios. Make reservations for both well in advance of your trip.

  8. I can’t imagine that place will stay in business. No parking and tucked back over by Shoal Creek. It’s never crowded when I walk by. And they’re not open on Sunday.
  9. Cedar Door basically invented the Mexican Martini style Margarita. I haven't had one in years since I don't office near there anymore, but I would imagine they're still delicious.
  10. nvm That was a response to a post on the first page and made no sense without context
  11. Question from a casual observer. Why are the fans so seemingly heavily behind Federer?
  12. Devil beating his wife in Westlake
  13. Walked over to the New Torchys on 2nd and Nueces to have a quick 512 IPA. Looks like I'm here for a few more.
  14. Chief Manley discusses the new ordinance https://www.pscp.tv/Austin_Police/1BdGYAWyPOXGX?t=10m46s
  15. This on white bread with Miracle Whip and a slice of American Cheese
  16. Maul for the try! and the match!
  17. MLR Championship match on CBS right now. San Diego V Seattle. Scott Green from Austin is the head referee. He also calls a few HS matches around town, which is kind of incredible when you think about it. But great for the HS kids who get to play when he's calling games. Great ref.

    Tex Mex

    Still some of the best nachos in town
  19. Yes. And a kickass happy hour with cheap Austin area beers.
  20. It’s now called the Varsity. And is basically a Double Dave’s with better beer selection. At least it was last time I went there two or three months back.
  21. Well if we’re reminiscing, bring back Time Out for Burger in Westlake and El Chino at 6th and Brazos (home of the all you can eat Mexican and Chinese food lunch buffet).

    Steak

    Is the Wagyu worth it? I’ve had the USDA Prime (which was outstanding) but am considering biting the bullet and getting the Wagyu porterhouse next visit (for two). Better price per weigh than the other Wagyu options and my wife prefers the filet while I like the strip.
