  1. You wanna post some random thing on TikTok or Instagram good for you, some are pretty darn entertaining. But completely fuck professional TikTokers, Instagram influencers or questionable looking “models” directly in the goatass with a giant cactus! Those idiots and the people who keep them in business are definitely a wheel damaging pothole on the highway of humanity! And don’t get me started with reaction videos! Asshat, I know how to watch a damn video, I don’t need to see some self important random attention deprived douche teaching me how I should look while doing it!
    I like the videos with a split screen showing a person just nodding in agreement and pointing at a different video playing. Why do these exist?

  2. I'm calling BS here.
    The CCG after playing a full round robin is moronic. It never should have been normalized and the little tornado guy is 100% correct that it's the same as a conference tourney after a full season.  Worse, in fact.  It's nothing but a money grab and disrespectful to the team that won it over the long haul.
    Absolutely. The game shouldn't even exist, let alone determine the champion.

  3. Valid point, but they’ll be the Big 12 program in the largest city in the conference’s “footprint”. They should do better than last place in attendance. Greater Houston has 7.34 million people. Surely they can find 60k people for 6 Saturdays every fall. 
    Do people attend college games in person for schools they don't give a shit about? I certainly don't.
  4. I think that would work. I also like Zinsser BIN which is shellac based. Both stink like hell. Use a quality hard wearing paint to finish it.

    Or see if you can sand it down and just leave it natural with a clear sealer.

  5. arrgh, I'm raging.  Discovered a crack in the plaster (can't tell if it's deeper yet).  About 2-3 ft long, horizontal, ~2ft below the water line.  Pool is only 5 yrs old....ugh.
    I've shot a note to the builder about it.  Hope he doesn't try to screw me....
    I hope it works out, but my SIL and her two neighbors all put pools in over the past few years. Her two neighbors are currently in legal battles with their pool builders over cracked gunite that they refuse to repair. I'd prepare for the worst and hope it's nothing too serious.
  6. Yes. Chuy’s is on 10, just west of Westgreen. Next to Olive Garden, I kid you not.  
    We moved from Katy to rural ETX in 2021. I didn’t know they had a Cheesecake Factory.  Guess it came to Katy Mills Mall in 2022.  
    It is a food wasteland with mostly chains. There are a few good hidden gems. A Venezuelan fusion place off of 1463. Some places in Asiantown. Some others. 
    This isn't really true. You can find good local places of pretty much any kind of food you can imagine. Hell there's even top tier BBQ now. Only morons eat at these chains.

    Of course there are more options in Houston.
  7. So it's obviously still fucking awful outside, but I will say it is noticeably less awful when I leave the office for lunch than it was a few days ago. So we've got that going for us. Which is nice.

  8. I cannot believe how expensive coolers have become. It's ridiculous. You have to spend more than some folks make in a day if you want something decent. Damn.
    Well Yeti has a $150 beer bucket and $50 ice scoop that apparently people buy. I blame them.

  9. They’re not holding anything up. It’s just framing to hold up drywall. I think it saves a handful of 2x4s. They did this on our house built in about 2000. I also recently found it on a house we are redoing built in about 1950
    Weird. I've heard of blocking in specific spots for specific things, but never seen this.
