  1. this isn't the faces of death thread.
  2. https://www.netflix.com/title/81216677 I'd post the trailer but it's full of spoilers. Just watch the first episode, you'll get sucked in to it.
  3. I was wondering why there are two 3 of clubs
  4. Rules question tournament blinds 30k-60k folds to blinds, small blind goes all in for $44k, big blind says “fold” what do you do?
  5. Now with glasses
  6. can’t stop thinking of this
  7. I have long legs and don't feel comfortable in many cars. Toyota and Mercedes are the two that constantly seem right. Honda used to be that way but my wife's element and crv give me back pain on long trips. After driving toyota trucks for the last 5 years it's fun to take corners and curvy roads again. I sped up to get through a left hand turn at a yellow light and my son commented, "you would have flipped the FJ if you had taken that corner at that speed", and he was right. It's not my E63 AMG but it corners great. Even though it's a diesel it's pretty snappy once you get going. Agree on "design language". Never could quite describe it but there is something different about Mercedes. This is my 5th. I've had an 1984, 2000, 2004, and 2010 before this one. They all have differences, but each felt similar in comfort and ergonomics. Stupid little things like how the doors slam shut have been constant for over 27 years.
  8. Kleo is great. East German assassin goes on a rampage on the people that did her wrong during unification
  9. Went 525 miles on a tank of gas, filled 19 gallons, 28 Mpg of mostly city driving. It has a little MPG monitor. Get going 70 on the highway and it goes to 40mpg when not going uphill.
  10. Should have been select all images with awesome trucks
  11. no spoilers in above, other people think he looks different too. He was also great in black sails.
  12. Same guy. Looks different in ep1 but back to looking normal later.

  15. wife's brother and sister live in Madrid. Sister is trying to convince us to buy a house there that she can then rent from us and we can move into when we retire. She claims there are very nice houses for $200k. We're going over next summer and I will be looking to see what $200k gets you. I think I wouldn't mind being there part of the year.
  16. How many people calling other than you? If it's heads up probably less than 25% of the time. 1 or more other people calling? probably 75% of the time
  17. I meant on canyon. I do, but I don't do turns if I'm within 500 yards of another boat and come to a stop if I feel I'm going to cut off or get in the way of any boat.
  18. And yes, Kenny, texdude2006, had a red wings avatar. Was out drinking with his girlfriend, went for a ride with someone who ended up driving his porsche panamera into a ditch and killed all three of them. My theory was the driver wanted to kill himself and figured if he killed the other two their families would sue leaving his wife with nothing. We kept getting linkedin updates to congratulate him on work anniversaries, which is how I found out linkedin has a whole department to deal with users dying.
  19. At least Walsh is now in a giant no wake zone so it shouldn't be as bad as it was years ago. Is there anyplace to gas up on the lake? Nothing is funnier to me than seeing some old dude at a multimillion dollar house on lake austin look like a monkey fucking a football trying to get a couple of big gas cans on wheels across his lawn and down to his boat dock.
  20. Not sure if they fixed it or it's fake but
  21. in street view if you look at the top left black box there is a link "see more dates". Click there and you can see previous versions of the street view. Your dog may be in one of the previous. My dogs at the old house are in a couple of them
  22. I usually refer to them as the cockroaches of the lake. A few weeks ago we were putting in early in the morning. Maybe 5 boats on the entire lake. 22 miles of open lake. Group of 5 jet skiers all doing donuts directly in front of the boat ramp.
  23. Lake Austin was nuts today. Told my kids this is probably the last time we go out on a weekend this year. A big fuck you to: The guy on the electric hydrofoil that went through the swimming area at our lake park. You could have fucked up a kid pretty good. Only good thing was him running into the steel cable between the buoys and faceplanting on the way out. Boats who seem to think it's ok to be 20 feet behind the kids on the tube behind my boat. Ended up just coming to a complete stop three times today to get them to pass. An especially big fuck you to the one who was keeping up with me going 25mpg, passed me then slowed to 15 mph causing me to have to stop again. Jet skiers. All of them. But especially the ones going 20 mph through the no wake zone near the bridge leaving a 3 foot wave. I got pulled over Tuesday for going too fast through the zone, my boat was going 5 mph, just fast enough to maintain steerage. Cops today were about 20 yards away from them, didn't move.
  24. no one should use databricks. Never dealt with a bigger bunch of assholes in my life.
