    We go downtown/South Congress a lot - I just like the vibe.  We hear the funniest things from tourists when sitting on a front table at Guero's.  I'm trying to figure out how some of these people haven't seen Tex-Mex before. 

    To be fair, they’re not looking at TexMex if they’re at Guero’s.

    I've said this many times in this thread, moose are by far the most dangerous animals in the woods.

    This. I grew up doing a bunch of backwoods camping in the Canadian Rockies and Alaska. Bears never really bothered me. You take the necessary precautions and they pretty much leave you alone. Moose? I’m scare to death of them to this day. Fucking prehistoric looking animals that can maim or kill you before you know it.

    I was dating a girl the summer after high school that went to UNC. I visited her in the Fall for a 3 day weekend and Greeley was a big disappointment. The UNC nightlife was very lame too.

    Up until that point all of my trips to Colorado were ski resorts so my expectations were pretty high and Greeley did not deliver.

    Should have dated a smarter girl that went to the other UNC. Chapel Hill is an awesome college town.

    Mayor Baldy keeps pounding the table with “the city is broke” and yet is risking throwing away millions of federal infrastructure dollars because the projects were planned in his eyes by “anti car activists” just because they include a bike lane and some nice sidewalks…highly infuriating.

    And don’t get me started on the fact that his new appointees to the METRO board have hit the brakes on all of the Bus Rapid Transit lines that have been in the works for years, likely for the same reason. Only projects that are moving forward are using METRO money to repave streets for both cars and buses to use. If it doesn’t help single occupant car infrastructure, Mayor Baldy’s administration doesn’t seem to want it done…

     

     

    I live off of lower Westheimer so I drive it every single day. It’s dangerous, full of car and teeth rattling potholes. Instead of the planned full rebuild that would address the sidewalks in one of, if not the, busiest pedestrian corridors in the city we’re getting a basic repaving paid for by METRO. It does nothing to address the safety problems in the corridor and based on how heavily used it is and the number of METRO busses that traverse it, the pavement will last 12 months at best before the potholes return.

    As someone that moved here 8 years ago and had only seen turner as mayor, it seems like Whitmayer is shaking a whole lot of trees early on in his tenure. Seems like that’s probably a good thing 

    I’m not a fan of him putting the brakes on a whole bunch of badly needed mobility projects in central Houston. The roads are crumbling and he’s delaying and/or canceling major projects that have been in the works for years putting federal dollars that were allocated for those projects in jeopardy.

    The DAs who have pushed for no-cash bail and ROR’ing repeat violent offenders need to answer to the multitude of victims that have died or been injured by criminals who belong in jail. Soros backed DAs can go to hell.

    anti-Semitic. Give me a fucking break. Who the fuck do you think is funding the campaigns for these progressive DAs and the nationwide push for no-cash bail? It’s coming primarily from one source — Soros. You have no problem tagging the Koch brothers or Adelson for the crap they are pushing for. 

    Way to fuck up a discussion. Do you talk politics at weddings and funerals?

    Sorry Barbara.  He once posted my wife’s name.  I hold grudges.  You’re young, you’ll scroll past this and bounce back.  I have faith in you; you seem to do helpful work IRL.  Guy comes back a half dozen years times a year under different handles including mine, but I mention it and I’m the asshole?  I mean I am; but objection your honor!!! ;) 

    Your reruns aren’t nearly as entertaining as Seinfeld reruns that I can watch 100x. Sometimes you have to come up with new material.

    im honestly disappointed he hasn’t done his annual reveal of my real name on here.  It usually happens in Winter/Spring. He’s actually a decent guy IRL but we’ve all been assholes on here so no judgement.  Just keep it anonymous.  

    How many times do you have to repeat the same thing? We get it. This is becoming worse than your Heidi Cruz broken record bit.

    I gave up the fight a couple years back and just signed up with Energy Ogre. They move me like every six months, sometimes 12. They just moved me to CleanSky last month. It's a minor nuisance to have to update billing bookmarks with the frequent change but it is what it is.

    EO must have a deal with CleanSky right now. They just switched me to them last month, too.

    With the design firings, given how little their design actually changes over the years and how few designs they have, they may have mapped out a couple of models that will take years to bring into production, and he’s guessing that by that time, any replacement employees will up to speed.

    I’ve wondered about the exact same thing. Or maybe he’s come to his senses and now realizes what a design abortion the Cybertruck is. Just kidding, we know it’s not that.

    I couldn’t care less if we police them or not. They have entertained the hell out of me, though. And they’re not trust fund babies. lol. Trust fund babies don’t behave like this. 

    I didn’t say they’re trust fund babies, but several of your brethren have made that ridiculous assertion.

    Shits spreading like Pokemon. Now at UW-Madison.

    So what do the protestors do when the semester ends? Blockade their local Starbucks?

    That’s one of the things where I think this is being so handled so poorly by many schools. Like milk, this has an expiration date on it.

    Lay ground rules like no overnight camping, no violence, no amplified sound, no blocking ingress/egress of buildings, etc. Let the demonstrators do their thing within the parameters and go in and make arrests when the rules get broken. There’s no reason to go all Billy Badass with the all the militarized police theatrics. Do some good policing and crowd control and let this thing run its course. All the pseudo military shit just ramps shit up and gives a certain group of agitators exactly what they want. 

    Everyone on here making fun of the demonstrators for being pasty trust fund babies who have no idea about what they’re demonstrating for yet we need to send in the military to conquer them? Seems like we’ve lost sight of how to police in this country.
