    I have an idea!  Why don't we leave both the preemptive thread-shitting and the reactionary thread-shitting to the doomsayer threads like ___ what the f is wrong with you and the great enshittification thread, and leave this one positive, as it was designed and intended?

    I'll go again--

    I grew up going here as a kid in the 70s/80s, and my kids have grown up going here as well.  And it really hasn't changed all that much, aside from 1/2 of it becoming an antique mall...

    I was there a fair amount in the early 80’s.  I was a couple neighborhoods over, across Burnet so it was just out of bike range for us.  But we went there a bunch.

    Instead of a fine, how about 10 hours of community service for each violation?  I would love to see the dotard wearing an orange jump suit picking up trash along the Hudson River.

  3. Following up on the previous post above….

    Cody Pools called me today.  They are paying for core sample testing on every pool they built with concrete from that specific subcontractor.  They built around 200 pools with that company’s concrete and are core testing all of those pools, including mine at $8000 per test.  So far they’ve tested 20 pools in that group and all 20 have been found to have ASR.  All 20 are being demolished and rebuilt.  

    That particular concrete business has now gone bankrupt and their insurance company has stopped paying for those core samples and pool rebuilds.  Cody Pools’ insurance company has now taken over paying for it all, probably while fighting with the concrete company’s insurance.  

    The core sampling is moving slow and they probably won’t get to mine until late this year, unless cracks develop before then.  Cody assures me the insurance money is there to rebuild every one of those 200 pools that are likely affected.  But I’m worried about policy limits running out before they get to mine.  Hopefully they can subrogate some of that from the concrete company’s insurance to decrease the chances of that.  

    Good times ahead.  Guess I’ll hold off on building the covered patio next to the pool.  Gonna start a list of all the things I’ll do different on the second one.

  4. I got an email from Cody Pools today saying that mine was built with concrete from the subcontractor that built all these ASR affected pools.   Mine was built two years ago and I don’t have any evidence of cracking in the shell yet but it’s also covered up and I haven’t been in it since the Fall.  I’m going to give it a good visual inspection when the water warms up.   


    Cody didn’t offer up any testing or anything. But reaching out to let me know about it was at least a good gesture. I can’t imagine this will go smoothly though if mine starts cracking.   

  5. Not only did you click it, you posted it here for a few thousand other people to click it. Don’t give these wannabe self-proclaimed journalists a voice.  The coverage of sports and social media in general would be better off if 3/4 of these dickheads had to go get a real job.

    Arch looked much better today (and threw a lot more passes) than Maalik last year. 

    I didn’t say he looked better or worse than Maalik last year. Just presenting a data point that says spring games are not all that indicative of performance in real games.  

    No pressure, no threat of being hit hard or tackled at all, free to take risks since the mistakes come with no consequences, etc…   He looked amazing today and I loved every minute of it that I saw. Doesn’t really mean shit though.  We are in good hands when his time comes.

    As kids, my wife's brother was banned from watching the A-Team because he wouldn't stop calling his sisters "Fools"

    Was this like the monk or just like lit his sleeve on fire and he’s fine now?  Not going to watch a video. 

    The only footage I saw was from kind of far away, but it looked like he burned for a while.
     

    The first comment I saw… “Break out the marshmallows!”  Lol

    I'm surprised Taco Deli wasn't lumped in with these two in that article. All three overpriced, over-conceptualized tacos for day-drinking Circle C MILFs. 

    It's kinda sad because I feel like the original Taco Deli on Spyglass was really good when they first opened 20 years ago...

    Over-priced for sure, but not bad tasting.  At least TD has some ingredients you might find in Mexico.  And Circle C milfs are my jam.

    Watch the clip.  His almost exact words were "he was shot down in new guinea and they never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals for real in that part of new guinea

     Quoting what someone ALMOST said…   that’s an interesting take.

  11. Torchys is garbage.  Their queso is good but so is the queso at plenty of other places. Everything else on the menu is just cheap dogshit ingredients on cardboard tortillas  

    I’ve only had Velvet Taco a couple times and it isn’t great.  It’ll do in a pinch, like when every other restaurant in Hobby Airport is under renovation or between ownership.  I guess their gimmick is to put non-taco foods into taco form.  Meh.  The Indian food one is ok.  The brisket one isn’t.

    Tell you doctor that you're nervous and get a RX for the valium/Xanax.  Your work can't do shit about a prescription drug.

    This.  They routinely write scripts for 1 pill for your exact situation.   

    Maybe for some jobs but not his.  Don’t do this.  It’s not the employer, it’s the FAA.  Xanax is an automatic disqualifier for your FAA medical certificate.  We can’t even take prescribed ADD meds.  You’d either have to lie to your next medical application, which opens up another can of worms with that script out there, or go through a lengthy process of proving to the FAA that it was just that one time because you get anxious in metal tubes, which isn’t going to go over well or be quickly resolved.

    i’ve got nothing to help you through that MRI though, maybe some melatonin? I get a little claustrophobic sometimes and I cannot sleep in a sleeping bag zipped up no matter how cold it is, but for some reason the MRI machine hasn’t bothered me.
