  1. Dang. Buddy Miller, too.
  2. It's only one data point, but I was set to take a national merit scholarship to study finance at a B1G school. Fall semester my senior year of HS, my dad (an engineering prof) said to me "you know, you're really good at math and you love music and hifi -- have you considered studying acoustics?" It had never occurred to me. I ended up studying mech eng undergrad and then acoustics at UT for grad school (via the mech eng department). I am so fucking glad I didn't study finance.

    Fried Chicken

    I'm not a huge fan of their dry rubs, but those sammiches are damn good.
  4. I think Dando's demons have outpaced his talents, and he's a really talented guy.
  5. I was only able to watch the first half last night. Did we really hang with them in the 2nd half or was UConn on cruise control?
  6. HEB (and even moreso Central Market for selection) kick ass on bulk spices.
  7. Not yet
  8. Gosh, it would be terrible if he were broke.
  9. DAMMIT
  10. At this point in his career that seems like a good move. He's not likely to ever be much beyond an emergency starter, so he could pull a Colt and get a healthy 8-12 years in the league, decent pay and his pension. Go sell commercial real estate next.
  11. I think I was about 7 years old when that was one of the big games on the playground. I'm pretty sure I didn't really know what "queer" meant. It seemed like a generic pejorative term to me. Good for Bijan for owning it. Time to move on.
  12. Because their media does not tell them the truth. Only now, with the costs of food etc. well higher than just a few years ago are some of the dim bulbs starting to glow.
  13. Holy crap, she NAILS the Joni MItchell vibe:
  14. It's a bit like the old saying "on your deathbed, you'll never regret travel taken". In this case, "on your deathbed, you'll never regret buying that guitar".
  15. Hell, I'd rather have the gravy than the CFS.
  16. Yup. 2019 in Athens. UGA won 19-13.
  17. One game with UGA in their first 16 years of SEC football, barring a conference championship game matchup in 2026 or 2027. Ridiculous.
  18. Yeah, that seems like a blunder.
  19. Not that I am any less cynical, but it will be interesting to see the legal machinations used to get around the pardoning of a non-Federal crime. Yay!
  20. Haven't noticed too much fat, but I like fat and grease. It's chili.
  21. That is a very succinct summary of how I feel about him.
  22. Yeah, I've done similar -- brown some, but not all. I'm not sure I've ever made two "identical" batches. It's all kind of freestyle.
  23. He's a virtuoso for sure. His style may or may not work for you.
