Surly kids applying / attending UT
Because "amenities." Also, it sounds like he opted for no window. A friend of ours referred us to the realtor he uses to list a condo his parents own in West Campus. She is an absolute gem if anyone needs help finding a place. I mean she'd negotiate, walk away from stubborn landlords, you name it. She is patient and waited out the market for several months to find us a good deal. She also mentioned that condos in West Campus generally are going for less than those on North Campus (I mean, I'm sure you could go far enough north to disprove that theory).

Surly kids applying / attending UT
A little advice for those with kids planning to live on West Campus. All of these high rises with "amenities" that they will come to you in the fall, frantically telling you that you have to act fast, are a rip off. The condos of our past still exist and are plenty nice. Also, you can wait until spring. West Campus is overloaded with inventory. By late April, you can negotiate. And guess what, there are plenty of amenities at this nearby school called UT-Austin, which is just a short walk away. No offense intended for anyone who's forking out the dough for their kid to live in such luxury (and someone should totally sublease the place from @Cabowabo for the summer). But when I was told it would be an extra $50 per month for a room with a window, I balked. We have a friend who is paying $1,600 per month for one of these places. Our son has a 2/2 condo with a friend of his and is paying just a little over half that amount including parking. Alas, he will not have 24-7 access to a golf simulator.

H-E-B employees petition to ban non service animals in store
Fun story. When my older son was around 16 months old, we took him to Wurstfest with us. We had one of those leashes that had a little monkey-backpack at his end. Anyway, my wife and I were dancing and left him with his uncle. So the uncle goes out near the dance floor with my kid on a leash, and my kid walks up to this woman dancing in a durndle and sticks his hand up her dress right into her stuff. She abruptly turns around and follows the leash to my kid's uncle's hands who is furiously and apologetically trying to reel in his nephew. We're so proud.

Preparing for Empty Shelves and Increased Expenses
I mean, I bought a 4 lb bag of rice today when I probably didn't need that much rice. But that's about all I'm going to do. If it goes south, I'll start cracking skulls for more rice I suppose.

I caught the cancer
This is your answer. Make a smoothie with papaya in it and include some seeds. This is from my wife, who is an 11 year breast cancer survivor. It was the only thing that worked. Good luck. We're all counting on you.

I don't know if the Dead & Co. shows are like this, but at Phish, if you stared at the band, all the movement behind them made it feel like you were on one of those immersive rides. I had to grab onto something a few times. Early 80s shows are sleepers.- Awful Texas foodways
I'll eat it fresh. I'll eat it cold. I'll eat that shit until I'm old. Luby's is #1. Kraft might as well be second. I've made some fancy-ass mac 'n' cheese over the years, but Kraft is just damned satisfying.- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

Both of these posts are true. You just need a T connection in black-iron pipe. Id' suggest a couple of ball valves at each termination point. I am not a plumber, but I've had one run an exterior line and know what he did. Also, the yellow thread tape is for gas.- Induction Ranges
I use silicone baking rounds under my pans and my six-year-old Induction cooktop still looks brand new. As for pans, apart from my collection of cast iron and carbon steel, the Cuisinart French Classic stainless is fantastic and not unreasonable. The Cuisinart MultiClad Pro is virtually identical, but made in China (so probably more expensive now). I mean, All-Clad is great if you like the handles, but I don't care for them. But the Cuisinart passes the heavy enough to be used as a weapon test.- Latest Hot Teacher Has Sex with Student
