  1. I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on an Ooni Koda. Debating between that and the Fyra. The reason for going with the Fyra would be to get the flavoring from the wood pellets, but people have mentioned that the pizzas cook so fast that you wouldn't really taste the difference. Anyone have experience with both?

  2. I highly recommend Pine State Biscuits for breakfast. Blue Star donuts is also pretty good (don't go to Voodoo)

    Salt & Straw has the best ice cream I've ever had.

    Plenty of good breweries. I haven't been to Breakside, but some folks from there opened up Meanwhile in Austin and all their beers slam so I'd bet it's solid as well

    Pok Pok was awesome. It's too bad they shutdown

  3. I went to the one off of Riverside around 3:30 yesterday. They were out of meat, dairy, and frozen foods, but they had produce and their shelves were pretty well-stocked with most other items. No lines either so I was in and out quicker than I expected. Should have more than enough to hold me over until things settle down a bit.

    I know this is probably a stupid question, but I grew up in a financial literacy vacuum, and my wife and I have only owned our house for 3 years.

    Would we be able to, or would it be prudent to, refinance our house at this time?  We're not interested in cash back or shortening the length of the loan.  We're currently doing fine financially, but we keep getting offers in the mail.  Seems as if a little paperwork could save us $ in the long term.  Stats below:

    4th year of 30-year mortgage @ 3.99%.

    Loan of $225,000 sitting at $206,000 right now.

    House value is around $260,000.

    We both have credit scores around 800.

    I've run the numbers through various refinance calculators, but don't entirely understand the APR or the LTV ratio and how each would affect a potential refinance.

    I'm working with almost the exact same figures as you except I have a slightly worse rate on my current mortgage. I messed around on better.com and saw I could lock-in a pretty great rate, but the estimated closing costs seemed rather high. I'm a complete moron when it comes to this stuff but hopefully @UTPhil2006 can tolerate me

  5. Not a ton of good recs for Flagstaff, but I'd actually say Pizzacleta is one of the better pizza joints I've ever been to. Get a Tower Station IPA to along with it.

    MartAnnes is a decent Mexican food spot with good portions.

    Macy's is probably the best coffee spot in town

  6. Sucks.  I never got through for a to go order since they were so slammed.  I'm told they should come back once this all calms down.
    Dang, sorry to hear that. I was able to grab a 4 pack of Electric Jellyfish last weekend and was planning to get some more this weekend. Gotta ration those out now

    Shortest line ever on a Saturday at Hot Bagel in Houston. Poppy seed with chive cream cheese for the win. 

    There are some silver linings in this current state of events. 

    Damn. I didn't need to read this after just being told that bagels could not be included in my HEB order. Need to find a spot in Austin to get my fix (all recs welcome)

  8. The opening scene really sucked

     

    Spoiler

    Why wasn't there any cover fire while Andy was trying to drive? As soon as he made his move everyone just sat around and watched Jack unload on him
