  1. This thing. I don’t like it. What’s the smartest strategy? Beavis and Butthead style cut near the bottom?
  2. You didn’t ask me but ill respond anyway. This setup works as I get access to both local and streaming channels but it isn’t ideal. I’m already irritated by switching between antenna and PS Vue streaming.
  3. I got suddenlink internet installed today. Speedtest shows >900mbs down 50mbs up in Pflugerville. Overkill, I get it. I am using a Netgear CM700 modem I bought then read reviews. Evidently it had some Intel Puma Chipset that has some design flaw according to the interwebs. Two issues: latency issue and DoS susceptibility. From what I’ve read, latency would be most evident in online gaming which I don’t do much. But I don’t what to hang on to something with known flaws. I’m not seeing any issues but I’ll probably replace it with the CM1000 (Broadcom chip) because it’ll always be in the back of my head.
  4. Two of the big rides were out of commission but since I was with kids under 6 it didn't affect me much.
  5. Agreed. I’ll know next time
  6. Eating at Last Chance Lakeside Cafe in HSV. Verdict to follow.
  7. Had to look it up http://mentalfloss.com/article/61552/what-vocal-fry There are podcasts I would listen to if other people did the voice. Stuff you missed in history class is one. Lore is another.
  8. Magic Springs today. Not that busy. Never waited for a ride. Kids had a good time but they were toast by 5pm. As far as dining, we ate at the Purple Cow (50s style diner) and their food was good enough. The shakes were really good.
  9. That’s debatable. In fact, it has been debated. It’s no serial.
  10. No. No they are not
  11. Beat me to it
  12. Flip six 3 hole, right Diz?
  13. I’ve got ZZtop live in Texas. I asked the question on what concerts to get to test out a new home theater setup and suggestion included: Stevie Ray Vaughn The last waltz Pink Floyd pulse Freddie Mercury tribute concert 25th anniversary Rock n roll hall of fame anniversary Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds live from radio city Heart live from Seattle Alice In Chains unplugged Live at Pompeii starring David Gilmore Life in 12 bars Eric clapton
  14. I’m a huge fan of cracklin oat bran. Have been since my grandma introduce me to it when I was 12. I still eat it twice a week. Cinnamon life/ cinnamon Chex are in the rotation. If I eat fruity pebbles or coco puffs, it’s for dessert. So good. Our cabinet like a month ago. The Rice Krispies were purely to make rice crispy treats.
  15. Glad to hear it.
  16. Kingsford 18.6 lbs. Charcoal Briquettes (2-Bag) $9.88 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Kingsford-18-6-lbs-Charcoal-Briquettes-2-Bag-4460031239/205796026
  17. Creepy how similar this is for our plans. It’ll be our first time to go. Going with 5 yos. Same time. Visiting parents. Staying at an Airbnb on a lake.
  18. Anyone ever buy replacement lenses? I got a pair of Oakley holbrooks with non-polarized grey lenses. I don’t mind the frames. And I don’t want to drop $100 for lenses or replace the sunglasses. Are any of the aftermarket lenses worth a damn. Walleva, Revant, etc Edit To Add: just did some browsing on the oakley forums. The replacement lenses at the bottom line from revant, walleva, fuse, etc are crap. No better than stage lenses. Some leading to headaches. Some of the premium lines from Fuse and Revant get a lot of reviews that are pretty good. Ikon seems to be okay. Linegear are probably a step up from any of the ones listed.. In case anyone else was interested.
  19. Will it help me stream Astros games on mlb since I no longer have At&t sportsnet
  20. suddenlink for 400mb down is $55. I have no idea what AT&T is at that price. I have three kids on tablets, up to 5 tvs streaming, plus 2 phones and 2 computers. I don't need any shit for buffering so I got the 1gb
  21. Yeah. Not seeing a lot of seller options from places I’ve used. You could try the Seiko outlet if you happen to be near one.
