  1. Of course the ads are probably better than imagine dragons. So maybe I shouldn't complain.
  2. Confirming I'm here with my kids and getting the pleasure of watching TGIF ads instead of music. Sucks because they were playing Ratatat. I guess the price of admission wasn't enough. /BillHicks
  3. I'd do 5 or 10 a month. Whatever it takes. Definitely no ads.
  4. I have to recommend Sara Electronics in Houston. I bought a pioneer Kuro from them over 10 years ago and had a really good experience. But recently needed to get another TV and decided to call them and they beat the best price I could find from a legit online store by a couple hundred bucks, and they came out, moved one TV, set up the new TV, cleaned up all the wires to the various shit and installed everything properly for a very reasonable price. Very friendly and they spent the better part of the day doing everything. Was definitely skeptical when I called them because they wanted to come out and see where the TVs were going, what I needed done with all the gaming shit and wires. I figured it would be kind of a BS hard sell type deal and they wouldn't be able to beat the price and just upsell the install. But they did great work at a great price. John Michael was the sales guy I dealt with. Definitely worth the call if you're in the market for a TV and want it delivered and installed, etc.
  5. Fuck Wally's. And I want my Golden Fried Chicken back.
  6. I could use a Delaware Italian sub about now. Hopefully the bullets from the shootout broke up the stupid speed bumps on Mesa.
  7. Pok-e-joes had some solid fucking fries. I used to work at Bookstop and would grab an order of fries for lunch. Mix the bbq sauce in the ketchup and it was damn tasty. Used to live near the Pit too. Usually got a burger, but back in the day it was passable bbq.
  8. Manti Te'O Cries. Can this meme stop now?
  9. I will fight anyone who says Gatti's Pizza sucks. I grew up on that pizza and nobody will convince me there's better pizza than pepperoni and meatball with a large side of ranch. Great after a game of soccer when you are 5, great after baseball when you are 12, great after golf when you are 18, great when you are drunk as shit in college and great now every time I go to Austin. So different and better than other joints. Houston has some very good pizza places, but if you asked me what my final slice would be. Gattis. Hands down.
  10. I hate my LG V30. Between it and AT&T it is barely usable as a phone or connected device. Had trouble even staying connected to WiFi. That said, the music sounds great with the quad-DAC processing. Won't get a Samsung with that ridiculous Bixby button. I'll probably see what Verizon is offering in a couple months and ditch AT&T.
  11. My daughter did this a couple years ago. $3500 in just over 2 weeks. I had Amazon digital purchases filtered in my Gmail so I didn't see what was going on. Luckily I'm probably in the top 1% of Amazon purchases and managed to get it credited back after quite a bit of threatening. Plus it was a bunch of digital eggs or diamonds or some other bullshit so there wasn't really a loss. My wife was in the phone at the same time disputing the charges on the CC. My daughter's tablet had been having issues and I'd been on the phone with Amazon several times and I guess during one of the times the parental controls had gotten reset so she could buy whatever she wanted. I think that also helped in getting them to credit it back. Pretty stressful scrolling page by page and seeing endless hundred dollar purchases with no idea when they would stop. No spanking but a pretty tense conversation. I don't expect it will be an issue again.
  12. I was involved in that thread. Didn't Google split off a research division called Alphabet? Probably need to consider that in any comparison. Percentage growth is easier when you are smaller. Either way, both companies have impressive growth since that thread was started.
  13. Most importantly VY was excellent from 5 yards out. On 4th down.
  14. Suggestions for a tough leather strap, e.g. Shark. It came with canvas and rubber so covered there. Will need to stand up to humidity, pool and gulf time. Checking out SNPR, Vintager, and Aaron Bespoke. Other suggestions for large (26mm) sturdy straps?
  15. Latest. Got the VDB 5th Anniversary. Came with a great canvas strap and a black Isofrane style from VDB. Looking for something really unique and able to stand up to some abuse. Thinking shark.
  16. and the new Tudors are pretty badass.
  17. Tits stand alone as a selling point for any straight 18yo make. That said, the obvious rudeness could have a negative impact on Moms. I agree that the demographics here are 50yo white male living in his 325k dreams in Katy and not necessarily football recruits. But, Tites.
  18. Disappointing in that it was boring. It had all the elements to be one of the all time great final rounds and Nick Faldo won with 18 pars. Not to take anything away from Molinari, it was great golf (and he actually did have birdies at the end.) Well deserved, but it lacked the drama that built up over the first 12-14 holes.
  19. Disappointing finish but Molinari played extremely solid. Congrats to him.
  20. fuck me that's disappointing. Great playing by Molinari though.
