Whose lines are out in the street?
Spectrum, I believe. -
Live wherever you want, but stay away from satellite internet. Expensive and unreliable.
Check out Wireless Digital Subscriber Line service providers. It is a radio link from your home to a terrestrial ISP data source. In our case we have a 50 ft tall tower (we had to get above some big trees) that has a radio receiver that bounces off of a transmitter located on a water tower a couple of miles from us. It is broadband fast, very reliable, and costs around $150 a month for a pretty robust download/upload capacity subscription. We probably dropped around $600-ish on the initial tower/installation. Totally worth it.
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? -
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?

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.

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. -
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. -
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

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.
-
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.

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”

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.

Not to brag, but I played a little DT way back in the day as a 230 lb double team collapsing fat kid, so I'm pretty much an expert on this stuff. The one thing I look for in DT highlight films is if they chase down a play away--it's something I rarely had the energy to do. This guy checks that box in a big way. Do want.
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.

I'm going to be in Lakeway, TX early next month and will have 4-5 days of golf. Don't need super high end, but well maintained, interesting courses...preferably with elevation changes, trees, etc... No problem traveling 45 mins or so radius. Thanks for any help.
Falcon Head is in Lakeway. Nice public course with a decent amount of elevation change.

More like South Central. SE has to be east of Houston.
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.

I never thought I'd see the day we'd have two top running backs from Hallettsville and El Campo. The 2024 running back needs to be from Wharton or East Bernard.
and Jordan Whittington from Cuero. SE Texas pulling their weight.

Have you spent much time in CS? It’s very, very conservative compared to Denver. It’s not exactly progressive.
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.

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. -
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

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.

Been working in various levels of gubment for 15 years. 1 in 10 employees actually gives a shit and tries to make a difference. 4 in ten were once that way but the system has beaten them into submission. The last half have always been worthless and should be used for shark chum.
which group are you in?

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.
