  1. Goddamnit. I have 2 young kids and I've been traveling for almost a decade, adding to that my wife works. It's hard and I'm looking for something local. A small number of people love it, a larger number make it work, but just look at the majority of the responses in the thread. If you do decide to give it a shot, plan on being in the hotel gym or out for a run every morning.
  2. I actually don't love their campsites at ERock, IMO if you're not climbing there are better places to camp. Plus it's likely that climbers and scouts have the good spots reserved already.
  3. I'm with Buzz and Arseblog, the sum of the parts looks like a whole lot less than the individual pieces add up to separately. I don't like the idea of a midseason change but as things stand we will miss the champions league again, and that's with the rest of the top 6 not looking good. It's just unacceptable.
  4. Jesus. I'm going to go drink some coffee now.
  5. I'm not sure 250 on the reheat via SV, was that supposed to be 150? Sounds really high if not a typo.
  6. Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how much you drink, how much you eat, how much you exercise and to what degree of intensity, and how your body reacts to all of the above. Those are just huge amounts of empty calories, and I say that as a dad who just needs a beer some nights. You'd probably be best off cutting back on booze.
  7. I picked up some for the OU game. It was as good as I remember it being.
  8. If we have video of hail falling at our house, would that be enough to push through a claim or would we have to have other factors as well?
  9. Are you saying that millennials should expect their boomer parents to leave them inheritances?
  10. They were doing it once every 6 months or so, rather than the once a month or whatever it is they have to do now.
  11. Round toilet seats. Who the fuck in this day and age puts those in a commercial building?
  12. Comparison of proposed revisions available here: http://assets.austintexas.gov/austincouncilforum/5A-20191016134757.pdf
  13. Its sad that at least 2 animals had to die for that abomination to occur. Have some fucking respect.
  14. The river is amazing. You are absolutely correct it is like nothing else in Texas, and it's worth learning to canoe/kayak/camp just to take the trip down the length of the river. We did the shorter trip for the north half of the river. I would go back in a heartbeat but it's not for everyone.
  15. fuck i miss him
  16. Ya, but the net spend is going from 3k to 4k for the lowest tier status. To get real status the jump is even higher. I've been sticking with United but won't hit Platinum this year, so I might need to take a look at Delta again.
  17. Link to a recipe you used?
  18. Some companies have policies that phones go into a closed center console or glove box while the key is in the ignition. It's not a terrible policy.
  19. It was a political play on both sides. Sucks that our city council thought they could illuminate Austin as some sort of Garden of Eden where the realities of homelessness in the USA can be solved single handedly with little to no prior planning, and it sucks that our governor frames this as some sort of saving Austinites from our communist overlords. The truth is in the middle, the state should contribute more resources than they do to homelessness because the cities can't solve this on their own, and the city should actually have some competent planning before they do something so drastic. I'm not holding out hope, because I think they're all pretty contemptible.
  20. Inter goes up on Barca in minute 3.
  21. Well unfortunately there are a whole shitload of examples to the contrary where dudes with guns made shitty decisions and people died. But thanks for trying.

    I hit the Rabbit Hole and Old Forester tours today, and have Angel’s Envy and Evan Williams tomorrow. Whoever rec’d Rabbit Hole, thanks. It was much less touristy
  23. I have a Citizen. Love it. Don't have a Seiko, but I hear great things. I always thought watch dorks thought higher of Seiko than Citizen but could be off on that. So no advice really. I doubt you'd be unhappy with either.
