They should convert all planes to ethanol fuel and just give each passenger a tube so we can suck it right from the tanks.
Heh! That would work just fine for flights out of Provo, but can you imagine those flights full of bachelor parties inbound for Vegas? They'd fall out of the sky mid-trip.

I so remember Dot's. Used to work close (a 100 years ago) and loved it. Was kinda disappointed when I realized "soul food" was what grew up eating.
I always thought I didn't like collard greens and have recently been shown the light. If you have a goto recipe I would love to have it for next week when I do crappie, pintos, hush puppies and greens.
Go get @ChampKind's greens at Buck's BBQ in Houston (well, Galveston now). They are other worldly.
But beware-- you're gonna have to sit at a table to order.

I don't see Bert.

I'd much rather go to a BBQ restaurant, sit down in air conditioning, order my drinks, order my food, enjoy my meal, and be on my way.
My waiting in a line certainly makes it easier on the restaurant operator, but it doesn't make it easier on me. And I care way, WAY more about myself, the customer, than I do about the restaurant owner (no offense, Champ
).
It can be done, it has been done many many times before, and it will be done again. Given the same quality of food, I'd pick the nice, comfortable sit-down service, over waiting in line, exactly 100% of the time.

Two words:
Sit down service BBQ
Boom.

I've had some pretty terrifying Uber drivers, so that one won't work either. Unless it's a self-driving Uber, which would be fine.
-
Yeah I'm guessing there's more to the story, and we'll likely never know.

I'd watch a thousand* Rose Tico's before spending another microsecond with robot Flo.
*This might be an exaggeration. But it still makes AOTC way, way, way worse. Just dreadful.

Redlettermedia showed some of the casting for Annakin and I remember the other guys just looking better fit for the role. Longer skinny guys instead of doughy baby face kid.
Not sure anyone the same age would have done any better. I do agree with @alincoln that starting it all off with Anakin being 5-7 years older would have made it all much simpler.

Not even...

AOTC is a terrible, awful, incoherent mess of a movie.
I actually think that The Phantom Menace is one bad casting decision (Jake Lloyd) and some tighter editing away from being a pretty darn good movie.
Jake Lloyd wasn't a problem for me. He did as well as the writing allowed, just my opinion. And the pod race itself rocked, I loved it then and I love it now.
But Jar Jar and his merry band of underwater rastafarians, overly Asian trade guild, mildly racist stereotypical Italian grand prix drivers, 2-headed 80s-sitcom-style unnecessary sports commentators, all of those just sink it for me.
-
AOTC had a space diner complete with a robot Flo and an alien Mel right out of 70s . I think that's pretty much all that needs to be said about it. It's by far the worst of the lot, just not even close.
I was originally inclined to give Phantom Menace the nod over TLJ, but given all of the discussion above, I don't think I can.
-
Yeah, them too. And of course the entire race of underwater rastafarians.
Makes me wonder how that movie would be received now, in our ever-increasing PC environment.

I ducked into Mac's whilst in Frederiscksburg last weekend and it wasn't terrible. Their brisket slices were about a quarter-mile wide but had pretty good flavor, probably a little underdone but nothing awful. The ribs were tender and had pretty good flavor too, though not much smoke. My kids were whinging and it was actually a godsend because one of them loves pizza, the other loves burgers, neither can agree, except they both love BBQ. It was good enough to shut them up, so I was thankful.
-
Phantom Menace also had Jar Jar. The others had far less Jar Jar.
But I loved the pod race, even with the mildly racist multi-armed stereotypical Italian grand prix driver and the two-headed Saved By The Bell style completely unnecessary sporting announcer.

Indestructible truck with questionable mileage claim. If my kids were a little older...

Forget the kids, do it for yourself!
YOLO and all that.

Texas does not have the talent to compete with Georgia or LSU.
Obviously.

They're equally terrible, but at least Ep2 had Natalie Portman, so...

It’s pretty clear Jon Snow is the protagonist and Dany is the villain now. How that conflict is reconciled should be good television. Who doesn’t want to see that?
I don't agree with many of your opinions stated above, but I certainly agree with this. Despite any critique I have of the writing in recent episodes, I still thoroughly enjoy the show and am looking forward to Sunday's series finale. It's going to be hard to let this one go, similar to the way I felt about Mad Men.

I think that is all a load of shit. Regardless of what they say publicly I think they were getting tired of the schedule and the massive task they had and just wanted to cross it off so they could move on to different projects.
For sure. They've stated pretty much this, publicly. Not outright, but many comments about wanting to spend more time with their families, less time on airplanes and working overseas, etc. I think they've done a lot of great work on this show over the years, but if they'd handed the show off to writers/runners that actually wanted to put in the time and effort, I think these final two seasons probably would have ended up better.

Kyrie is right. This is yet another SECSECSEC team that Texas has no prayer of beating.
DOOMED.

So, do we know more?
Also, do we blame Mexico for the "abnormally dry" areas down in the RGV? Would a Wall help with that?
