  1. Yeah those builder-grade oak cabinets went into every home from about 1978-1998 it seems.  In our last house I painted the ones in the kitchen, but stripped and stained the ones in the bathrooms to a deep espresso, and they turned out looking fantastic.  Way more work than painting them though, obviously.

  2. To be fair, we have used our jetted tub a few times per year since we've been here.  I like it and wish I had time to use it more often.  And we already have a nice glass enclosure shower with multiple shower heads, so I don't REALLY need to get rid of it.

    But it's one of those triangular monstrosities that's put against a corner of the bathroom with a tile surround built up around it, and it just takes up so much room, kinda like this one:

    I want to replace it with a freestanding jetted tub that's a modern version of a clawfoot, rotate it sideways so it takes up a lot less room, which would make space for an additional vanity and more storage.  Something like this:

    I'm with you. I don't really know when he was talking about Texas versus when he was talking about ATM. 

    I think you mean 2022 class, right? 12 of the original 30 are gone and there are rumors of 3-4 more guys leaving after the spring as well. They'll eclipse a 50% transfer rate by the start of the 2024 season if the trends hold.

    Yeah 2022, sorry.

    GODDAMMIT.  THE NAME OF THE PLACE IS PHO VAN, NOT PHO CAR!  DOESN'T ANYONE FOLLOW CONVENTION ANYMORE????

    Also, have been there a few times.  It's alright.  The taiwanese bubble tea place and the Julie's Noodles down from it are better.

    Tan My around the corner is much better, it's actually the best pho in Austin.  When I heard a car had run through a pho place in North Austin near the Target at Ohlen Road, I was screaming in my head "NOOOOO, please don't let it be Tan My."

    I mean, it still sucks for Pho Van of course, but ya know...

    For me, personally, I'd rather have no tub, larger shower, and more storage in the master. I think one tub is required by the kids bedrooms, but other than that they are useless. We've never used ours even once.

    Wives tend to think they want one.  Too many Calgon commercials I suppose.

    the Texas Exes and Belmont are coordinating a "Texas to the SEC" deal at 2359hrs on 30 June according to Chuck and Chris.  I remember laughing at the A&M version of this years ago when the videos were posted online.  Part of me thinks it's kinda cool but part of my thinks it's an Aggie kinda thing to do.  What do y'all think ? 

    I'd prefer not to do anything at all to mark it or celebrate it, but that's not the way these things work.  Regardless, I'm certain that ours will be a about a million times less cringey than what they did.

    Rail is great for a steady flow of traffic but it sucks for special events.  Buses are great for special events, like Texas used to do for football games.

    Yup, we take the CapMetro city bus to Q2.  Jump on at Northcross Mall and ride the couple miles north.  After the game they have a ton of buses idling, waiting to reverse the route, and we hop off back at Northcross. Super easy and requires only a fraction of the resource commitment that rail does.

    LOL. So, tl;dr ...

    Max's Day 3 long runs were more similar to Alonso's than anyone else's, and Max's and Alonso's tires were wearing very well.

    Alonso was slower than Max by less than 0.3s on average overall, and his quickest stint average (his last) was only about 0.13s slower per lap than Max's quickest one (also his last).

    this thread is a combination of "greatest", "most iconic", and "favorite" movie scenes, which is fine.  everything is subjective and there isn't a known greatest movie scene, so why not.  here are a few i enjoy, but i traditionally like talkies.

    That will always be the case on any topic that is completely subjective.  It's certainly interesting to me to see what OTHER people find "great" or iconic.  I'd say I probably agree with about 70% of the scenes posted so far, and vehemently disagree with several as well.

    Hadn't seen that PSA in a long while, brings back a lot of memories.  

    You could do also do a work-up of the kid with the box of weed and the angry dad, but replace the Dad with John Sharp and the kid with a yell leader uniform on.  

    "Who taught you how to be this stupid, huh?"  

    -You alright!  I learned it by watching you!  

     

    I remember growing up in Chicago in a relatively diverse part of town and just having it beat into our heads that marijuana would make you stupid and complacent, like it was some sort of cult.  Then I moved to Texas and met Aggies and was relieved of my childhood fears, "Oh so like, even with no drugs...there's just millions of legit morons roaming free.  cool, cool."  

    You didn't have to come to Texas for that realization.  There are millions of morons in Chicago, too.
