  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. That last swing looks the best to me purely due to the tempo. You are able to load and extend better and not get through so quick. I am guessing you sometimes hit hard pulls? If so, slowing it down a bit could help with that.
  6. I had a coworker quit by coming in after hours and leaving her laptop with a sticky note on it saying “I can’t work here any more”
  7. I got an IV of Fentanyl when I dislocated my knee and it took the pain from like a 9 to maybe a 3. It was like I didn't even care that I was hurt. That stuff is insane.
  8. I like the motor, but man there was at leas 4-5 plays that would be no doubt late hits at the next level. Needs to rein in his aggression a bit.
  9. Falcon Head is in Lakeway. Nice public course with a decent amount of elevation change.
  10. yeah, fair enough. I've always struggled to categorize that area, its kind of a no man's land between regions but Coastal Plain seems to fit well as Machinator said.
  11. and Jordan Whittington from Cuero. SE Texas pulling their weight.
  12. Yeah, admittedly I have only vacationed in the area and spent most of our time in Manitou Springs and up highway 24. So maybe my characterization is way off base. But we did go to some restaurants in the downtown area and it felt like a decent scene to me. Also, part of Austin's success has been its being a liberal city in a conservative state, attracting businesses through the conservative politics and young people through the liberal. Maybe the same could hold true if the state is liberal and the city is conservative? IDK, just spitballing.
  13. I could definitely see Colorado Springs booming. Very desirable location (Garden of the Gods is just insane), has UC CS, a nice downtown, and legal pot. Feels like a more accessible Denver. It’s on my short list if we move out of Austin.

    Starlink

    Just got the email that they are accepting orders in my area (Driftwood). Though the speeds in beta aren’t that great, 50mb to 150mb. Still better than Hughes net though. Especially the latency at 20-40 ms

    Haha yeah re-reading it, it is certainly that...I married into the land though, none of it is actually mine.
  16. I haven’t gotten to play in almost a month due to this ice storm nonsense. This may be the worst thing to happen to anybody in the state right now.

    Yeah I am following it closely. I really hope it pans out well so I can move out to one of the ranches (one in Driftwood the other in New Mexico) and still work from home.
  18. which group are you in?
  19. That is entirely too much Excel for my liking...
  20. I think the length definitely makes a difference (ttws). I definitely get that the jacking of the lofts is just marketing to make people think the "technology breakthroughs" are what is causing more distance, but at the same time, having your 7 iron have the same loft as an old 5 iron but be 1-1.5 inches shorter does make it easier to hit.
  21. https://drivingrangerr.com Off greenlawn near I35&45 Very nice facility, real grass, well lit and a nice chipping area with a good sand trap. Grass has been struggling this winter, so more sandy lies than is desirable but it’s pretty great in the growing season.
  22. 2020 was a good year for my golf game. Broke 90 for the first time and nearly broke 80. Now a so-so round is an 86-87. That was my PB in the early spring. Next up is the 70s. Gotta get back on the range much more, have been slacking the last few months and my swing is feeling all over the place
