  1. I was walking through the meat coolers a few weeks ago and saw the Hill Country Fare brand fajita meat packages and grabbed one chicken and one beef. Froze them and remembered I had them a few days ago and got the beef out of the freezer. 10/10 would recommend. Slammed and went hard at some fajitas. Added some Valentina’s and took it to 11.
  2. I drive through San Angelo on my way back from the lease. I'll have to give this a shot next time. Thanks for the rec.

    Please share these better and cheaper places.
  4. Buddy of mine got shingles at 25 years old or something. 100% stress related apparently.
  5. Quick question: who controls the House, Senate, and executive branch? Dems are now fingerpointing at republicans because they can’t actually agree on anything. It’s quite funny actually.
  6. This. Family of 3 here. We’ve been cooking at home so much that I haven’t really noticed a difference in my bank account associated with eating out. We eat out maybe once a month or every 6 weeks. We buy in bulk at Costco and have for the last 4 years. Our staple fruits and veggies are up a bit but the cow we had slaughtered 6 months ago is getting eaten. Probably will split a full cow with my folks in the next 4 months. Buying in bulk is definitely a way to get ahead of the inflation curve.
  7. My wife and I have been avid Texas Pecan coffee drinkers for the last 8 years. Just recently bought a bag of Tastes of the Hill Country and I’ve converted. HEB coffee is amazingly good. 1F1CB183-9434-416A-AF91-B9395DCC2E70.webp
  8. Tried Killens in pearland for lunch today. Brisket wasn’t as good as pinkertons and pinkerton’s wasn’t great in my opinion. It was decent though and hard to beat the price currently at $25/lb. Would rather just buy a brisket and do one myself honestly. Sausage was meh. If I go again, I’ll have to do a beef rib. Baked beans and cream corn were on point though.
  9. I've started doing more weighted dips on my push days. I bought a dip/pullup belt and throw a 45 pound plate do my weighted dips as a lower chest/delt exercise.
  10. 4 years ago, I had never been able to do a pull-up in my life. I did 10 yesterday in a row. I typically don’t do pull-ups but decided to give them a shot. Just cranked them out. Still holding at 180 lbs. I need to eat more. I’d like to be 190 or so by summer and have my bench up to 265 max. We shall see.
  11. Going to give the Pearland location a shot this weekend. I'll probably get a pound of brisket and a link and a side.
  12. So probably not broken for me. Just bruised. Thanks!
  13. I went running before work last week around 6 am and took a spill and landed on my right shoulder, hip and arm. Got some pretty nasty road rash to show for it. I believe I also managed to break a rib on my right side as well so I’ve got that going for me. A week later and still can’t properly stretch without pain in the affected rib. Anybody know the difference between a broken and bruised rib?
  14. Do you think if any politician listened to educators, that our education system would have any of the issues it has? Nobody is listening to teacher's unions... about anything. Um...yeah, that's not correct. The CDC reportedly solicited advice from the AFT and also asked for input in policies from that union... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10365805/Controversial-teachers-union-president-Randi-Weingarten-says-mild-COVID.html
  15. Depends on what you're eating. You can eat a shitload of chicken and rice for 1,500 calories. Or two handfuls of cashews for 1,500 calories lol
  16. Also, which kids are you referring to? Have you seen a kid in a mask? My wife went to eat lunch at my son's school (kindergarten) and literally saw a kid take off his mask, put it on the ground, and rub it on the floor of the gym with his foot, then put it back on. Dumb? Yes, absolutely. Why would a kid do that? Because he's a kid.
  17. Actually, I believe it's the dems who care more about masks than anyone given the recent uptick in the rolling back of mask mandate measures in schools. The motto of the left through this entire pandemic has been "do as I say, not as I do." Dems are feeling it in the polls and are going to get shellacked in the mid terms so they're rolling back the measures so they can tout that Biden beat COVID when in actuality, Omicron is the best result that could have happened given the situation: mass immunity whether people like it or not. Now we just have to unfuck the supply chain, deal with inflation we haven't seen in 40 years, a turbulent stock market, and hundreds of thousands of kids who have fallen out of the public school system.
  18. Very interesting read. I knew a lot of this as my wife has cousins up in Alaska (Girdwood area). They're a little more on the grid as they run a nursery business in Seward but prior to them having kids, they were up in the middle of nowhere like OP is. My wife told me about roadkill harvesting where if an animal is hit by a train, troopers/officals would go to a list of people in the surrounding area and inform them of the kill and they could go out and harvest the meat. Is that true or does that not really occur in REMOTE areas?
  19. My wife and I still consistently play D2. We’re on PC and play with our original group from D1. Looking forward to witch queen.
  20. I don’t have a problem answering any questions really. No, I don’t work for SEACOR, Tidewater, or Chouest. They are our biggest competitors though and I know many folks who do work for them. Our industry is so niche that we have dealings and interactions with our competitors often. Hornbeck is another big competitor of ours. My company isn’t publicly traded.
  21. There’s a difference. The drill ships I believe you are referring to are indeed built mainly in Korea for transocean (example). Some are built in Europe, Singapore. To work in US waters for supers, PSVs must be built in the US and fly US flag. Supermajors only want US flagged vessels providing support to their leased drill ships from Transocean. Federal law requires it as well (Jones Act). The vessel company also must only employ US mariners for work in the GoM which is why our costs are a lot higher than say a company operating in West Africa. They can crew with guys from the Philippines and pay them half of what they pay US mariners. Most PSVs that work in the GoM are build in southern port areas (some in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida). Four that we have built are all identical and were built at BAE shipyard in Jacksonville. One thing a lot of people don’t realize is that if all these cruise ships were built in the US, the cost of cruises would be astronomical given that the vessel would be US flagged, have to employ ALL US citizens, and pay tax based on their home ports. Because they are built outside the US and flagged to say…Panama, they can hire whoever they want and not have to pay US tax. Companies typically flag their vessels in the most tax advantageous country. But to have your main port of call in the US requires a shitton more costs. But that’s all the supermajors in the GoM will contract with and that’s all they can contract with if they want to work in the GoM.
