  1. Best thing about where I ended up is it's just a straight shot up Congress.  It may not always be quick, getting south of the river from downtown is horrible if I have to leave at rush hour, and the Disneyworld section of South Congress gets backed up too, but it's so great to just not be on the fucking highway.  And they actually did the construction at Oltorf pretty quick.

  2. My dad played football at Rice in the late 60’s. He took us through the campus growing up a few times. He said the female dorms were known as “The Zoo” and “The Cow Palace”, and I am not making that up. 
    My view is that if you are looking for a new place to troll for your ilk, you are surveying the right kind of landscape. Good luck snorting for truffles, sir. 



    Negative. Rice women and Vic will not get on.

  3. Someone post a video of his that's good.  I don't mean like "he's shit, prove me wrong" -  I mean like "I made it 20 seconds into something but was meh and would probably actually listen to a song if I knew it was a good representation

  4. I got an e-mail with a $10 off coupon for Uber Eats on a football Sunday. Hey, that sounds like a plan. And of course when I put the code in it is rejected, but by that time it’s really too late to not get exactly what we were in the middle of ordering. I e-mail support to try and get my $10 because I’m fucking annoyed. They tell me the coupon was only good for customers in Asia, which is obviously ducking stupid. I explain that I am not nor have ever been in Asia. They say the code got used up before I used it, but there was nothing in the offer about it being in any way limited except for it expiring on the end of that day. Then they say that they’re sorry for the inconvenience and will follow up with the appropriate team to ensure it never happens again, but obviously I’m just getting e-mails from different customer support people in India who are closing tickets. Especially obvious since each time they respond back saying that they’ll look into the issue, I get an e-mail saying my ticket has been closed. So I spent a week immediately responding to every “we’ll look into it” with “thank you for the support please let me know when the issue has been resolved.” (thus reopening the ticket) until finally it got escalated to Pulkit who refunded my fucking $10.

  5. Lily white suburban high school band, waiting in the stands at the end zone in the Astrodome while the previous game between Madison and another more inner city school wrapped up their playoff game.  The new QB that's coming to UT plays for this team apparently, but holy shit this band man.

  6. Yup - that's the one.  I was going to get the name wrong, even if I know how to pronounce it.

    Seagull looks like slow going still, but I think they're at least making progress at this point.

  7. This is Ollie.  One of my dad's golden retrievers.  No sads - he had a good 14 year run.  He was found stranded after Ike, rail thin with ringworms - my first memory of him was this skinny dog with a big head in a crate.  Very calm dude, definitely the dog of the house.  Liked pets.  Not much for retrieving.  But he was a good boy.  He had a heart condition and was on borrowed time already this year, but got an abscessed tooth that had already turned to sepsis by the time they identified and removed it.  And it was going to be too much to put him through, so his watch has ended.

    And I can't remember what Dr. Z it was! I've actually been looking all over their site and at older models on reverb trying to find it. All I remember was that the tone knobs were weird and there were only like two of them. I'm going back today to return something and I'll report back. That fucker sounded great.

     

    Edit: As far as the Rio Grandes, this is a pretty impressive customer list:

    New words to describe ancient things that already have a name.  Ghosting=ignoring.

    Slang is fun, or a vital part of linguistics, or whatever.

    I fucking hate so much all of the stupid fucking acronyms that people feel compelled to make in business/"leadership"/whatever.  Just write the fucking word, it's not a tweet.
