  1. Went to Pizzana today for lunch. Just opened this week at River Oaks Shopping Center. Enjoyed it greatly. We had the fried cauliflower and shaved Brussels sprouts to start. Both were excellent. The cauliflower was perfectly fried and the aioli it comes with is delicious. The carmelized shallot vinaigrette on the Brussels was awesome. Tried three pizzas: Margherita al crudo, diavolo and vodka. All three were very tasty. Diavolo may have been my favorite for its mix of spicy and slightly sweet.
  2. Just gave me a business idea. Knock these things off and set-up a stand outside of Lakewood Church peddling them.
  3. Ah, yes, the guy whose company is better at disaster readiness and response than the state and federal governments. Definitely a guy you should fuck with.
  4. 1. FJM Concrete Pumping about to be out of business. 2. Driver of black pickup at end of first video just motors on by after watching a school bus roll in front of him.
  5. The fact that I’ve dealt with it directly informs my opinion that you would never subject a loved one to a facility that accepts Medicaid. I prefer that my loved ones not be subjected to abuse. ETA: OP mentioned grandkids 529s getting stuffed aggressively with mom’s assets so I don’t think we’re talking about someone that’s destitute.
  6. You must really hate your mother if your plan is to put her in a facility that accepts Medicaid.
  7. BCN out of those four by a mile. Fucking love that place. You can swing a dead cat and hit a good steakhouse in this town. Da Marco would be my #2. Coppa is good for a business lunch, but wouldn’t put it high on my list for a nice night out.
  8. Propofol is awesome. I can understand why Michael Jackson got addicted to the stuff.
  9. Planning and infrastructure aren’t in the DNA of the City of Austin. This expansion should have broken ground five years ago and not one shovelful of dirt has been turned yet.
  10. Traffic on the football board would take an awfully big hit.
  11. Pastore closed for good after service on Saturday night. Didn’t even make it a year.
  12. The picture of masculinity.
  13. What do you expect when the mentally ill have easy access to guns?
  14. Found one from when he was getting old. Miss this guy. Definitely captures the lab part of him, which is what my now wife always put on rental applications when she was a renter before we met.
  15. Have you still not picked up on the fact that the troll was paid for with private funds? I guess you could start a fundraiser for compost pick-ups, but in the pantheon of public needs how important are compost pick-ups? If that’s your biggest bitch about COA, you’re living life right.
  16. Some people don’t see cultural amenities as useless. They see them as something that adds to the fabric of a community. People complain about Austin no longer being cool or weird and then bitch about the cultural things that make a city unique.
  17. Private jails are all about cutting costs and providing the very bare minimum in order to maximize shareholder returns. Jail based competency restoration requires actual mental health services so I don’t see any private operators being interested.
  18. Best dog I’ve ever had was my wife's (then girlfriend) pit bull mix that she brought with her into our relationship. He was the smartest dog I’ve ever had and he was also a big ole softy at heart even though he tried to act tough. I miss that dog every day. The two of us understood each other and could communicate at a level I’ve never had in the other ten or so dogs I’ve had in my life.
  19. Hold up. 1. There’s a resort in Tyler? 2. People travel to Tyler to vacation at said resort?
  20. The assailant was driving the light blue Prius.
  21. This. I don’t want to clean my house, wash my own car, etc. Sometimes the calculus works that I would rather pay someone to bring me food rather than get in my car.
  22. That has nothing to do with the manufacturer. The airline specifies seat dimensions, pitch, density and even the choice of actual seat from a variety of seat manufacturers.
