  1. Look into it. Hospice will provide care at home for people with chronic life conditions even if they are not on their death bed. CHF will qualify him for the care. They will provide the medications and equipment to treat CHF free of charge and will come up with a plan for nursing care a couple times a week and other stuff. Although they generally provide palliative care, you can even suspend hospice if something comes up that your dad wants to treat at the hospital or otherwise.
  2. Agree with contacting Hospice. It's much different than the 6 months left organization from years past. There are people that stay on hospice for years. Even when mom left her home for the skilled nursing facility, hospice was involved and continued providing medications and nursing care.
  3. I love coral snakes. They are pretty well camouflaged when sitting still and then look like flashing marquee lights when they're moving.
  4. Blunt force trauma to the head followed by drowning is likely on the death certificate.
  5. Might be drunk if you look at that picture without realizing it's two guys sitting on stools.
  6. Great Plains ratsnake
  7. Proud dad of one of the newest graduates from the Forty Acres and TexExes Life Member! Going to take a nap before heading back down for the big graduation event at DKR. Congrats to @RiverwalkMiner, @Surly Bevo, and anyone else with kids graduating this weekend! Hook'em
  8. I'm not surprised about Syril's a crisis of conscience and I loved that he reverted back to "must kill Andor" as a base reaction in the middle of the shitstorm. I'm really glad they didn't take his arc to the next level of him flipping to the rebellion. It would have been too easy and many writers would have.
  9. We just finished this week's episodes. My wife mentioned the exact same thing.
  10. Get a bidet.
  11. I like it so far. My podcasts are now running in notifications and I can pull them up to ff through commercials without unlocking the phone or getting out of Waze.

    Austin FC

    We started with Obi, Dubi, Zan, Rubio, and Cascante - all usual off the bench players. However, we also started with 2 of the 3 DPs. El Paso was ready with their full starting line-up and is a decent USL squad. There is no good reason that Austin didn't score first and hold a lead until the end. Wolff looked great once again. Unfortunately, with his rising stock I'm afraid he might not be here a year from now.

    Austin FC

    Regular Austin FC games have much better attendance and the longest "sell-out" streak in MLS. Some MLS teams have horrible attendance for their regular games - Houston, for example.
  14. Second World countries is not really a thing anymore. Second world countries did not fall between 1st and 3rd world countries based upon wealth or GDP. It was a Cold War construct - 2nd world countries included the Soviet Union and the communist bloc.

    2025 ACL

    Last year OU game and W2 sucked with the later kickoff. Game ran into some prime late afternoon/early evening acts.

    Audible boos from the fans at half was a Q2 first as far as I remember.
  17. I read your post the way you intended. Not sure where wildcat got turned around. Also not sure which one of you is the actual incel.
  18. Takes me back to the Lizard Lounge circa 1989.
  19. I'm not sure if Snow's or Franklin will be bumped from the Top 10 or not, there are just some incredible barbecue joints that hit on all levels. Not sure if days and hours will be a reason to keep Barbs B Q out of the top 10. Snow's has been there for years with 1-day a week. Cattleack is only open 1 weekend day per month, otherwise just W, TH, F. Brett's Backyard Barbecue is permanently closed. Back in November, Brett said they got screwed on the lease, tried to do something else, and decided to go back to a real job. While Valentina's is closed, Miguel Vidal is working at OG Familia Tex Mex BBQ in Manchaca. I haven't been there, but I wouldn't be surprised if it makes the list. Sunbird was on the 2023 Top 25 New list, albeit at a different location. There used to be a metric that a joint had to be open two years, but they don't follow that any longer. There were a few on the 2021 list that had been open less than a year and I want to say there was one less than 6 months.
  20. Loose predictions for 2025 TM Top 50. Basic attrition will open up a few spots from 2021 as four places have permanently closed and several more will not make the list due to great new joints. A few places from the 2021 Honorable Mention list will probably move up, but not many. Several places from the 2023 Top 25 New list will make the 2025 Top 50. Stone cold locks for new additions to the Top 50: KG BBQ - Austin Reese Bros - San Antonio Sunbird Barbecue - Longview Barbs B Q - Lockhart Others I suspect will make the Top 50: Mum Food Smokehouse & Delicatessen - Austin Brisket & Rice - Houston In addition, a new West Texas joint will get on the list to replace Convenience West from Marfa. I haven't tried any of them, but Midland Meat Co.'s Half Acre, Hallelujah! BBQ - El Paso, and/or Brantley Creek Barbecue - Odessa are likely contenders. Joints that could drop from the Top 50: Hays Co. Bar-B-Que closed the San Marcos location in June of 2024 and opened the new Kyle location the beginning of last month. Not sure if the TM crew was able to get in an sample the new place. Brotherton's Black Iron Barbecue - Pflugerville. John Brotherton passed away in January of 2024 - he was a shinning star in Texas barbecue community. Unfortunately, my recent trips to Brotherton's have been disappointing and I have heard similar stories from others. If it stays on the list it will be a homage to JMFB. The joints that will probably be in the Top 10: Burnt Bean Co. - Sequin (#1) InterStellar Barbecue - Austin (#2) Goldee's BBQ - Fort Worth LeRoy & Lewis - Austin Truth - Houston Barbs B Q - Lockhart The joints that could drop from the Top 10: Panther City BBQ - Fort Worth Evie Mae's Pit Barbecue - Wolfforth Snow's BBQ - Lexington Franklin Barbecue - Austin
  21. This. They left Jackson Hole in the middle of the night and it was evening by the time they reached the graveyard which was like 10 miles away. Reasonable.
  22. It was a fun series. Glad they've wrapped it up. Looking forward to the next McBride/Goggins series.
