  1. What’s the latest they’ll start the game before pushing to tomorrow?
  2. ‘member when you could play golf in Austin?
  3. Just get the classic e36 M3 outright. Imo that is the best one ever.
  4. 30 hours in from moderna 2 and feel like I’ve been beaten with a hammer. Woke up at 3 am with fever and severe body aches and it has only slightly subsided. Supposed to have a cook out tomorrow evening, hoping I’m ok by then...
  5. Does anyone know if there is a way to watch online? I looked on texassports.com and didn’t see anything, and I don’t have LHN
  6. Anybody play Quicksand down in Wimberley? Thinking of going down tomorrow.
  7. I was a combined 5 inches from going eagle, birdie, par to finish at Forest Creek. Hit my 3rd on a par 5 to 2 inches on 16, hit my birdie putt from 15 feet away to 2 inches on 17, chipped to 1 inch for par on 18. Its a cruel game, this.
  8. Yeah I wouldn’t...money isn’t great unless you’re in actual developer territory, but that is a CS degree anyways
  9. I actually find I am worse on the range than on the course a lot of times. I think because I am thinking too much on the range. I lose the natural feel. Also, going too fast on the range I start to tire, not going through a good pre-shot routine for every shot like on the course.
  10. Yes we have, but the family isn't overly enthused by this...I am trying to convince them that this wouldn't be so bad if we fenced it off and keep the tenants off the actual property, but it is an uphill battle...
  11. So I have some questions around Modular houses...I know, Surly 1%ers are scoffing, but here is the situation. My wife and I want to move south of Austin to be close to her family (FIL in poor health, we want to start a family and be closer to them). They live on land in Driftwood, so we had been looking at Dripping Springs, but it has gotten so expensive and competitive in the last 6 months that we have quickly been priced out, and it is even getting that way in a lot of Kyle (outside of the dumpier stuff East of 35). So we have been looking into building at their land. The only problem is that we can't necessarily commit to living there forever, and as such, we're looking into Modular houses as a solution to allow us to live there but also potentially sell that house off the land at a future time. Is this even remotely feasible? This isn't a mobile home we're talking about, just a house built in a warehouse and assembled on site, so I am unsure if removing it and selling it is even an option. Has anyone heard of this, or is it not really a thing?
  12. 5.61 billion/ (365*24) = 640,000 / hour On average 2 ships an hour pass through, are they carrying $200 million in product each? I read somewhere (can’t remember where) that it is costing the global economy 400 mill an hour, not Egypt by itself.
  13. I also studied GIS and never ended up using it. Ended up working my way into being a technical support engineer manager
  14. This is some prime unintentional comedy. Looks like a scene from The Ringer.
  15. Something tells me Lee Corso hasn’t been to 6th street any time recently
  16. Really? Pretty standard to get about 50/10 in a normal urban setting. I will be working from home, with lots of video calls, so I can’t have slowness disrupting those.
  17. Interesting...what kind of speeds are we talking? I would need at least 50-100 mbps download and 10-20 upload. Are you in that range?
  18. I am considering moving out to some land in my wife’s family south of Austin, as I am working permanently remote now. The problem is that there isn’t internet out there currently. With Starlink coming online I am definitely considering going that route, but there might be reliability issues inherent to satellite internet that could make it untenable. Does anyone have any insights into what it would cost to run internet lines several hundred yards? How do you even go about having this done?
  19. So played Crystal Falls today, and for the last time. I don’t know who they think their clientele is, but hitting it in the middle of the fairway shouldn’t result in it rolling 50 yards into the rough (which was really just dirt and rocks). And maybe don’t make it to where the greens are skating rinks. Basically any chip that wasn’t up hill was gonna roll to the fringe. It just felt cruel, punishing you for decent shots. If you weren’t inch perfect par was unattainable.
  20. I am starting a new fully remote job this coming Monday. I’ll miss having the office camaraderie but not more than I enjoy the flexibility of WFH. I love me a good lunch nap. We can now move more out into the country instead of always having to consider the commute. I enjoy my wife’s company, and us both being WFH this last year has only strengthened our marriage. It will be a different experience starting out remote instead of building the relationships first then being remote like it was in 2020. But I’ve never been the type to hang out a ton with coworkers. I always get along fine but I have enough friends outside of work to where I don’t feel like I need to spend time with them outside work hours. All we end up talking about is work anyways.
  21. Finally played Grey Rock yesterday. Greens were very quick. Starting you on 10 is evil, that hole ate my lunch to the tune of a smooth quadruple bogey. I turned it around in the front nine with a 39, which feels good for a new course.
  22. My middle school band director was named Mr. Glasscock. He was one brave son of a bitch to decide to teach a room full of 70 middle pre-teens
  23. IMO it would be very ambitious to try and break into this niche from step 1. Trying to become a software developer first would be a better path. I don't have any experience with this directly, but knowing the people internally who do it, they are some very seasoned and accomplished folks.
