  1. I just stayed at Guild a couple of weeks ago. The room was nice and had a lot of amenities including a washer/dryer, kitchen and even a record player. It did have a marijuana scent to it though. My big issue though was that check-in was a big pain in the ass. It's a long process where you park in a specific area in the garage , then enter codes to get into your room, then you take the fob from your room, go all the way back to your car then park it in a completely different yet very specific area in the garage. What's even more annoying about all of this is since you're in a parking garage, the internet on your phone doesn't work so you either have to memorize the check-in steps or make screenshots of all the steps. Also there's no front desk person, you interact with Guild through text or phone only.
  2. Maybe in specialty stores. There's a place called iBurn in Houston on Bellaire near 610 that has it.
  3. Not sure if they did this back then but UT frats do accept ACC students now. In fact, I've heard a few of them are nearly 50% ACC students now.
  4. The Canadian province of Alberta has a rat population of virtually zero due to a highly aggressive rat extinguishing campaign launched by their provincial government. Apparently it's a big news story if somebody finds a rat in Alberta. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/the-stirring-story-of-how-alberta-became-the-first-place-in-the-world-to-banish-the-rat
  5. Playland, owned by the guy who owns Rebelle and Battalion, just opened last week downtown. Pretty solid pizza with interesting toppings. Along with the pizza, I also liked the General Tso's wings. Definitely recommend
  6. He came in later. First year with WF was last year.
  7. Good to see yet another tank of gasoline being poured on a complete dumpster fire of a program.
  8. Didn’t realize he was such a huge Golden Knights fan.
  9. Would be a great hire if true.
  10. Yes but it's the Big 10 so that doesn't mean much.
  11. Kirk Saarloos to be interviewed for Rice job
  12. Either him or Heefner from Dallas Baptist.
  13. I’ve always heard the higher end places use outside skirt steak while the cheaper places use inside skirt steak. Inside skirt is cheaper, flatter and has more connective tissue which makes it more chewy.
  14. Balmorrhea is pronounced Bal-mor-ray btw.
  15. Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre and Anatomy of an Epidemic by Robert Whitaker are two great books that highlight this issue
  16. I can't stand this noise. It makes me ragey when a waiter hard pours my water like this.
  17. I wouldn't say that. This happened at the restaurant right next to my hotel last time I went there. Hell I walked by this restaurant 30 minutes before this happened. http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-puerto-vallarta-el-chapo-kidnapping-20160816-snap-story.html Also when I was there, I got this phone call saying my credit card number had been stolen. The woman on the line even knew what bank I used. She asked for my social so I immediately hung up and called Chase. Of course it was fake. Once I got home, I cancelled and got a new card for piece of mind which was a huge pain in the ass to switch all my online accounts to my new cc number. It was the same cc I used to book the hotel so I'm pretty sure some asshole hotel worker did something with it. This was a "5-star" hotel by the way. Fuck that shithole. Never going there again
  18. Call me crazy but I don’t think flyover country would get behind a black chick from California with an Islamic sounding first name. Could be wrong though!
  19. Lol at anybody from Fresno State being the “face” of anything academia
  20. His kid actually plays tennis for Wake. Interestingly, his kid lists his name as “Sean Patrick” instead of his real name “Sean Patrick Hannity.” If my kid literally had to change his name because of my rhetoric, I’d take serious consideration into toning down my rhetoric. Guess not him though. http://www.wakeforestsports.com/sports/m-tennis/mtt/sean_patrick_1035432.html
  21. Tiny Mixtapes, Pitchfork. Sometimes I use sputnikmusic as well but that site heavily favors metal.
  22. It always amazes me how this guy went to Harvard undergrad, Yale law and got a PhD from Oxford yet he sounds like a dude from infowars
  23. Matua Valley makes a pretty good Sauvignon Blanc. Usually $11-12. Wine Spectator gave it a 90. It can be found at most HEBs and Targets
  24. You're making the assumption that Hillary would've done less in Syria which I don't think is true given her hawkishness. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/24/magazine/how-hillary-clinton-became-a-hawk.html
  25. Recently read The Romanovs by Simon Montefiore. First half was Game of Throne-ish aka lots of orgies and slaughtering. Second half was like watching a trainwreck in slow motion. One critique I have is I wish the author focused less on the tsar's sex lives and more on their policies and how they influenced Russia. Spoiler alert: most of them were nymphomaniacs, got repetitive after a while. Still recommend the book. Reading The Evangelicals by Francis Fitzgerald now. Liking it so far.
