  1. I came across a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant called Susanas in Southtown today. It had 5 stars with 40+ reviews so I gave it a shot. I had the enchiladas verdes and they were legit. The family that runs it were really friendly. It was $8.99 for the lunch plate.
  2. I have the 40L Eagle Creek bag and it's definitely high quality and durable. The only downside to it is that it's a bit too large to fit under a seat as a "personal item" which is becoming more of a thing as airlines more frequently charge for the overhead carry-on. I flew United domestically a few weeks ago and the gate staff were enforcing the small-personal-item-only rule and charging those of us poors in the super economy section for larger bags. I'd say 35L is the sweet spot for avoiding that.
  3. I got the flu shot and pfizer booster yesterday around 8 a.m..and then passed out around 8 p.m. A little arm soreness, but otherwise I feel back to normal.
  4. I appreciate the advice. The fastest I've gotten to a gig on speed tests is 600ish mb. Is there a particular modem you'd suggest?
  5. That's nearly exactly the setup I'm looking at. There's an outdoor patio area so I'm planning to have an exterior AP as well. I checked with Google Fiber and unfortunately they're not in my part of downtown (San Antone) just yet. I'll be looking at other providers as well, but I may be stuck with Spectrum.
  6. It's for a cowork space, so the data type will probably mostly be piddly. But it will probably be a mix of types depending on users on any given day. I'm going to look into other internet providers. Spectrum is already in the building and bringing in a new provider may be costly, but also maybe worth the expense.
  7. I'm creating a wireless network for an office space that will serve up to 50 users at a time. I'm researching TP Link's Omada, Ubquiti's Unifi, and a few others. The space is about 4,000 sf and is an open floor plan without interior walls or large obstructions. The internet provider is Spectrum and I currently have a gig plan. After I set up a wireless network, I'll test the speed and consider enterprise offerings if the gig service is lacking. I need reliability, speed, security, and simplicity of use. I may end up hiring an IT/networking company to set this up, but I'd first like to get objective opinions about the options. Opinions on forums like Reddit are all over the place. One person swears by a system and then another says it's the worst system ever. I appreciate any insights.
  8. Bought one of these on impulse in the McCoy's checkout line. It's a handy lil son of a bitch.
  9. The economics may not pencil, but it might be worth checking if you could get the biologic shot in Mexico and make the border drive or take a cheap Monterrey/CDMX flight to get it every two weeks (assuming you're in TX). Perhaps that would result in less downtime for the care you provide your folks than the after-effects of chemo. Just a thought. In any case, best of luck and I'm truly sorry you're having to deal with this. Fuck that disease.
  10. Welcome. Secret gay agenda zoom meetings are Tuesday nights at 11:30 (don't tell anyone!!!).
  11. I need to build a basic but attractive website for my small business. Its purpose is just info about the business and some pretty photos, no online sales or anything complex. I used Wix many years ago and thought it was reasonably easy to use. Are there better options out there?
  12. Idoit.
  13. He took for goddamn long to hit the gas after he got in the car. And you risk your life for a car?
  14. I second the run metal conduit with an outlet on the exterior of the brick. Spray paint it black or something close to the brick color if you'd prefer to camouflage it.
  15. A&M is probably more your speed.
  16. I see you self-hating MAGAts on Grindr all the time with your no-face and "can't host" profile because you don't want your wife to know. Sad.
  17. Not saying you're wrong, but why do you believe Pelosi didn't want Kamala?
  18. I saw the new 4 Runner the other day. Looks like a lego car. Still exponentially more attractive than the CT.
  19. The firm I worked at long ago sued them a lot for underpaying/denying significant property claims. They were worse about doing that in my experience than most larger carriers.
  20. GOP AGs sue to overturn Biden EO making voter registration easier. Obama federal judge hearing case. https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/14/politics/republicans-voting-lawsuit-biden-executive-order/index.html A group of Republican state attorneys general are suing the Biden administration over a federal effort to expand access to voter registration. The lawsuit targets an executive order issued by President Joe Biden in March 2021 that directed the heads of all federal agencies to submit proposals for their respective agencies to promote voter registration and participation through various points of contact with the public. The president issued the order as GOP-led statehouses were pushing voter suppression legislation in the aftermath of the 2020 election. The fresh attack on a three-and-a-half-year-old executive order underscores Republican plans to scrutinize ahead of the November election actions Democrats have taken to make it easier to vote, particularly after the last presidential election, in which efforts to make voting easier during the pandemic became a major flashpoint. The nine Republican attorneys general who filed the lawsuit in federal court argue that Biden exceeded his authority when he issued the directive, which they also say violates the US Constitution and “undermines the voter registration systems set up by the States.”
  21. https://apnews.com/article/abortion-survey-pills-roe-election-2024-7179dda48eae0a764be89c2e0aafd80a US abortion numbers have risen slightly since Roe was overturned, study finds. The number of women getting abortions in the U.S. actually went up in the first three months of 2024 compared with before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, a report released Wednesday found, reflecting the lengths that Democratic-controlled states went to expand access.
