  1. That sucks. I’m sure she provided a lot of valuable shade in the summer months.
  2. Yeah, most of the newer HEBs in the Houston area have generators. For those that don’t, they bring in big ass units on trailers and have them hooked up and ready to go when there’s activity threatening in the Gulf. Obviously, in this type of situation they didn’t have a long enough lead time to bring those trailers in. Plus, you get to support fascism!
  3. Totally agree, which demonstrates how difficult it is to do. They know logistics better than anyone I can think of. They should run FEMA.
  4. Watching 22 seconds of that felt like 45 minutes.
  5. Agree, but unfortunately it’s just not that easy. My FIL is a retired ag economist who has spent his retirement years working tirelessly on hunger issues. He is primarily responsible, although he would never take credit, for the success of the food bank in his community. One of the things he works on is getting food to food banks that would otherwise wasted. We’ve had long conversations about this exact type of scenario and how frustrating it is to see food get wasted. The logistics of getting this food out of the grocery store, into temperature controlled transportation and into storage at a food bank all during what is an irregular operations situation is highly difficult. Not that it can’t be done, but there’s still inevitably going to be waste and it’s not as simple as calling up the food bank and saying “come and get it!”
  6. What kind of person zip-ties a kid?
  7. Do you not understand how having a bias against your coworkers on an oil rig could create a safety issue?
  8. So the usual response of “this is all pretty normal, nothing to be concerned about here” from the lawyers who keep saying our judicial branch is a-ok!

    Houston BBQ

    This has been my experience as well.
  10. Class size: 11
  11. I had your wife’s taco last night and it was rancid, so yeah, I guess you’re right.
  12. Pussies. Plenty of delicious foods out there. If you’re not willing to make a sacrifice for your country, you suck.
  13. I would gladly give up tacos for the rest of my life if it meant Trump and MAGA went away forever.
  14. Quit interacting with the troll. Y’all are taking a good thread way off topic.
  15. New hire class photo.
  16. CDC will do whatever TV tells him to do. He’s their bitch and he knows it. That’s not a knock on him. It’s the same for every other AD in the country. It’s delusional that you think otherwise.
  17. The posters here who still get irate about kickoff times and demand that the athletics department put their foot down and dictate night games crack me up. They would schedule games at 4a if ESPN told them that’s when the game is going to be played. The person holding the purse strings holds the power and, in the case of college football, that person is TV.
  18. That was one that stood out to me. I haven’t been out there in a couple of years since it’s pretty far out there for me, but it’s one that I’ve always had as one of the top tier in the Houston area. My wife has been bugging me to go back out there (and to Snow’s - ha!) so we might need to get on that to see what’s up.
  19. They should set up a Harvard branded taco truck outside the White House.
  20. Tesla doesn’t even break out sales of S, X or Cybertruck due to the number being so insignificant. Those high dollar models are a drop in the bucket. They only sell about 50k of those combined.
  21. Man, 100% this. We were so much more intentional about making connections with friends, family and neighbors during COVID. We would drive to Austin just to sit outside on my parent’s back patio to have dinner and wine and then grab a hotel downtown. We had weekly driveway happy hours with an open invite to all the neighbors to bring their camp chairs and drinks where we would stay up late BS-ing, laughing and drinking. We had scheduled Zoom calls with friends in other cities. I had a weekly Zoom happy hour with my group of seven closest friends. Our schedule was full and we never felt isolated because we got creative and made it a point to have social interaction. There are definitely some parts of that that I miss.
