  1. Another +1 for "buy an 85" HDTV". The only reason I don't make the switch is because I have 2 solid projector setups (120" and 100") that would cost thousands to switchover to similar size HDTVs.
  2. Are you using your keys as a fork?
  3. PADI is the 500 lb gorilla bully in the Scuba cert world. They charge ridiculous fees for everything (Put Another Dollar In) using the absolute shittiest web design/training/teaching tools out there. 5 employees can run their entire org. This is just another in a long line of PADI money grabs, the end game being to monopolize the diving cert industry and triple their ridiculous fees. They raised fees during COVID for "reasons" which were later exposed as "because every other market sector was doing it and we didn't think people were paying attention"
  4. So where are we migrating to this summer when it's 110 everywhere in Texas?
  5. Next time just google "gyro meat recipe/marinade" which normally includes garlic, oregano, cumin, marjoram, ground rosemary, ground thyme, ground black pepper and sea salt....i.e., not what you find on a Sam's/Costco rotisserie chicken.
  6. He can eat whatever the fuck he wants and call it whatever he likes....I'm merely pointing out that rotisserie chicken in a pita is not a "gyro", just like rotisserie chicken in a tortilla is not "chicken fajitas" and balled up chunks of rotisserie chicken dipped in McD's BBQ sauce is not "Chicken McNuggets"
  7. From the tards that made 47 Meters Down? Gosh, can't wait. Hoping to be shocked that they get even a single science/technology/shark scene right.
  8. There's not a hell of a lot to see/do at Eagle's Nest itself. You spend most of your time buying bus tickets, waiting for the bus, riding the bus, waiting for the elevator, etc. The restaurant up there is ok, but depending on when you go in May, it can be really cold with snow everywhere. Hohenwerfen is pretty cool and worth a drive. It was the castle in Where Eagles Dare, if your dad is a WW2 movie fan. The ice cave is about 5 minutes away and is a neat experience.

  9. Rotisserie chicken in a pita is not a gyro. They've both been doing it for 15+ years.
  10. Too bad about Berchtesgaden, it's a nice area. I stayed for 3 days in 2016, then 4 days last summer. You have Eagles Nest, Koenigsee, Werfen (Ice Cave and cool castle) and Salzburg all within a 40 minute drive. Plus it's just a beautiful area.
  11. "We're not weird and we're not a cow college! Everyone respects us and wants to come here!"
  12. I would bet several shiny nickels that Kristen B is a pescatarian.
  13. OMFG, what can you possibly do with a sick chicken? Are there any emergency aggy vets here? (my comments were not appreciated and were deleted)
  14. Yeah, I was laughing at that. Also, Semis don't out run cars when the car is on a flat smooth road and the semi is at a dead stop in the middle of the desert. Just wait till the well climber scene.
  15. I'd holdoff on reading/listening anymore for at least 10 years. It took him 14 years to write the first 5 books and he has 5 more planned in the series.
  16. Yep, I've been checking snow reports, but of course there's no way to tell what the snow will be like in a month. I set up a Spring Break family trip to Taos about 10 years ago, and of course had to book months in advance. Snow was decent in Dec/Jan, then just stopped mid-Feb. We rented a massive house/yard that should have had 6 inches of snow everywhere but was just dirt and scrub brush. The skiing was terrible and dangerous, fucking ice under a light dusting of snow.
  17. HEB Brodie has a couple of 25-item self checkouts with a guy at the end who does bagging/age verification/overrides/etc
  18. Also my girlfriend, but she's the one that really wants to see snow and let the dogs play in it. She's only been around snow once in her life (Switzerland last summer).
  19. me: Hey, did you pick up the dog food at Costco? Yeah, it was really crowded. me: uh, Chase shows the charge was $155....wtf all did you buy? Like dog food, and a few other things. "other things" = $100+ worth of fruit, veggies, chia seeds and other revolting health food items that take up 3/4 of the fridge space and will be tossed out in a few weeks when they start rotting....and all my fault because I didn't eat "my share" of stuff she knows I don't like
  20. Looking to take the dogs to experience snow for the first time. What's the best/closest destination drive from Austin? I'm guessing Ruidoso NM? No interest in hanging out for a week in a West Texas shithole....
