  1. Well, the cost for the mobile vet to euthanize in the home is $430, which seems reasonable. Dealing with the body is extra, but there are options. I was expecting at least $1K because of the stories above.
  2. I'm not arguing that it's good food, but that's my opinion. I'm just saying that particular ingredient is extremely common in the region from where the sauce was derived.
  3. Hey, pick 6.
  4. No doubt. I bet you've had some delicious Greem lamb, etc. Cinnamon.
  5. The reason there is cinnamon in Cincinnati chili is because the recipe was brought over by Greek immigrants. It ain't supposed to be Texas Red.
  6. I wish. I got autism. Wait, what?
  7. August 30 cannot get here soon enough.
  8. What university was that, exactly? Phoenix?
  9. Well, I don't think they're going anywhere barring some crazy hit out of the blue, but I do think Charlie's kid has talent. The last name surely doesn't hurt, though.
  10. Did any of them go to Westwood?
  11. NFL dudes, do most teams carry 2 QBs on their 53-man roster? Would 3 be unusual? (This presumes Quinn would be #3, but maybe he has a shot at #2.) It would seem to me that with Tua's injury history there might be incentive to go QB-heavy, but I don't know the intracacies of pulling a guy off the practice squad.
  12. I agree, mental health references should be off limits. However, I disagree that you aren't losing your shit, and I also disagree with your characterization of those you are arguing with.
  13. Agreed. This isn't The Bible (King James vs New American Standard, etc. They are trying to chip away at history and people should absolutely be losing their shit.
  14. Maybe you should bring it up with the rep for Austin City Council District 6.
  15. What brands/models? (I'm not looking for cymbals per se, but you never know. I'd definitely get in line behind the other two posters if anything was interesting and left over.)
  16. It's too bad, because A&M just now ramping up their Ag NIL program. He could have scored one of those sweet new Lambo tractors:
  17. My problem with Albini was his insistence that his way was the only true way. I don't have any problem with an engineer or producer advocating a certain work flow, certain techniques, etc. but to dogmatically assert that there are no other options is arrogant in the extreme. For instance: I hated his drum sounds. I don't know if it was his room, the fact that he used about a dozen mics on a kit, the way he chose and placed those mics, or what, but I didn't like the outcome. That doesn't mean Nirvana or Pixies or Jesus Lizard didn't love what he did, and I hope that was the case. In a similar way, some artists may really want creative input, either because they simply don't like where they are and haven't learned how to veer from that path, or maybe they have some vague idea in their head but they need help getting there. I really would have loved to see Albini tell Quincy Jones he was doing it wrong.
  18. Your nails definitely look better than the food.
  19. Westwood HS grad. He was supposed to finish up his RTF degree at UT this spring, but I don't know if that happened.
  20. Klubnik and Leavitt are the two I thought were out of place. King might work for GT. The rest? Spares. Congrats to Marcel for being 10th on a list of a bunch of mostly "eh" guys.
  21. Call me crazy, but isn't that list mostly loaded with spares?
  22. It feels like Trader Joe's has been doing that forever. A couple of times I'd double take at (for instance) bananas "holy smokes $0.24/lb?" and then I'd realize it was $0.24 per banana. (That's a far cry from $10/banana, though.)
  23. Anecdotally, my daughter's band did a full pre-production effort for their debut full length in Austin and sent the tapes to Will Yip so he would know what was coming. He sliced and diced, which initially made the gals uneasy but when they listened to his new arrangements they agreed that he zeroed in on the hooks and cut the chaff. When he was alive, Steve Albini would tell you that a producer is evil, but I don't think that's universally true. A good one can make a ton of difference. I've heard it for sure.
