I never understood how Chipotle did so much better than Qdoba, Baja Fresh, Freebirds, or fresh Mex/fast casual places.
As far as cheap, fast food, Taco Casa is the best. -
I thought he already got off. That was the problem in the first place.

I hoarded so many plastic utensils, chopsticks, and condiments, that I had to send them with my wife to her school for her fellow teachers. Speaking of that, chopsticks are the worst. It's like the restaurants don't get that the average American eats 12-24 rolls of sushi. I try to put them to use. I'll use 'em to eat cheetos and similar chips while working.

Another story that I didn't screenshot, (because Tapa was down), before it was deleted. A woman posts about the snobs in Montserrat who called security on her family for flying a drone near their houses. She got ripped a new one, because there are no public lands around that development and rich people are nice.

It originated with Coach Royal after we messed up your previously perfect 1961 season.

Depends on what you mean by “swords” and if you’re taking about male or female SMU cheerleaders.

There has only been one episode since David came back. They skipped a week.

WTF? A $1200 APAP? Just buy one from secondwindcpap.com. You can find a good one for less than half that.

There is a parking garage at the corner of Cantey and Stadium. More are coming, though not necessarily for the stadium.

Don't know of any memes along those lines, but as I stated before I've seen people do it incorrectly scores or even hundreds of times, at intersections where the signs are clearly marking the correct path. So I'm ok with anyone bringing it up as driving jackassery.
It happens on 360 all of the time, where there's an intersection or even just a crossover, with the signs clearly marking your Yielding position on the opposite side of that intersection. Yet time and time again people ignore the signs and turn immediately around their near corner, rather than crossing as the signs designate. Parmer between MOPAC and McNeil is another place I see it frequently. Pretty much any large multi-lane road in Austin is subject to this, and people screw it up all the time.
I don't doubt that people ignore the signage and lane markings all the time, but people also do it the wrong way on <30 ft medians by not turning around the near corner. Both are great examples of jackassery. But lately, there has been a movement to get people to treat the method for >30 ft medians as the method for all medians, which screws things up even worse.

I assumed he was talking about the case where the intersection is > 30 feet and signage exists. I see people ignore the signs and screw this one up all the time.
I wouldn't make that assumption. There is a very popular meme making the rounds that doesn't make that distinction.

That’s not the law in Texas. It depends on the width of the median or signage.

Two cars turning left in a median. You FUCKING DRIVE PAST EACH OTHER so you can each FUCKING SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. it’s like people want to intentionally block your view and have their view obstructed. It’s dangerous and stupid.
delete duplicate post.

Is Aldi legit on quality or are we talking a family dollar level of shopping experience, nttawwt?
Aldi is great if you know how to shop there and if you have a decent store in your area. (Some locations are disgusting.) If you're shopping for your elementary kid's lunch and are buying juice boxes, bread, PBJ, chips, lunch meat. fruit snacks, cheese sticks, etc., they are great. They have a good selection of inexpensive nuts and trail mixes. Eggs, butter, and milk have hard-to-beat prices. Frozen products are good, but it is clear they make their money on things like fries and tots, (small portions and relatively higher prices). Frozen veggies are cost competitive, but the portions are small. Rice, beans, tortillas, and cheese, you might as well shop at Walmart in terms of prices. Cereal is the same way, but Walmart wins on price and larger sizes. Aldi pizzas are great. Not much selection, but the prices cannot be beat and they are about the same as cheap deli pizzas anywhere else. Their chocolate cannot be beat in terms of quality and price.
The best recommendation I can give is that when I shop at Aldi for just a handful of things that I need for dinner, I will always spend much less than at Walmart. The only problem is that I still end up shopping at Walmart or on Amazon for some items, mostly cleaning supplies and toiletries.

I gotta say, in some ways I kinda agree with Thanos' plan
I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but I did feel some relief due to severe MCU and comic book movie fatigue.

This was deleted before I got a screenshot, but there was a great post on my NextDoor this weekend. A woman posted about an attempted carjacking involving her friend. The friend had stopped her car on a residential street to look up an address on her cellphone. Two white men walking down the street "aggressively" approached her car and tried to get in. She put the car in drive and fled. A few posts later, the rest of the story came out.
The men were not walking down the street. This woman happened to stop in front of a man's driveway at exactly the same time as the Uber app showed their Uber as arriving. So the man and his friend walked down the driveway and attempted to board what they thought was their Uber.

I go to Houston all the time from FW and would never dream of flying (especially from Love Field).
I used to feel the same way. Then I started flying down there a bunch to see a client that is fairly close to Hobby. Since the client was paying and a colleague was usually driving to Love, hell yeah I'd fly.

How about renaming it for Texas bluesman Robert Ealey?

My local DQ is a couple of years old. Very nice building, but shitty real food. Alright ice cream and smoothies

Does anyone have any thoughts on these inline humidifier replacement things?
I bought some last year to use while traveling, but they dry out (during in home testing in DFW) much quicker than the advertised seven days. So I experimented with "refilling" them with distilled water. I was able to stretch one to a month by refilling it every few days. Without taking that one apart and testing it in a lab, it wouldn't be possible to see if there is no mold or other contaminant on the filter, but there were no visible problems.
Any thoughts?

The Servant Girl Annihilator is the best name for a serial killer ever.
Sounds more like a porn. -
WTH? I don’t think I’d want to live there. -

This "hobby" utterly bewilders me. There were a ton of dudes who were really into it on a cigar forum I used to post on. They were all middle aged and older, not just hipster dilettantes.
It seems like it might as well be boutique deodorant, or collecting and using vintage toothbrushes, or getting stoked about trimming your toenails. I'm sure I'm missing the point and overlooking the type of enjoyment and satisfaction that people get from it, but if it takes even 30 seconds longer to go through this type of ritual each morning, I would rather spend it sleeping in.
I'm not at all knocking it - I really enjoy the weird (to me) shit that people are into. I am just totally perplexed by the "shaving enthusiast" thing is all.
The hobby should not be surprising. The vast majority of us probably did not learn to shave with safety razors. When we first start using them, there is a period of searching for what works best for us. So the guy with a single long-handle Merkur might cycle through many blades, soaps, and other disposable equipment in his search. Some guys take it one more step and cycle through razors and brushes. I never did.
When I was unemployed a few years back, I bought my first safety razor. (It really is much cheaper, and, once you get used to it, it takes roughly the same time as shaving with a ten-bladed monstrosity.) Except for buying a smaller version for travel, I've stayed with the same razor. I've gone through a number of blades and soaps over the years, but it didn't take long to find what works best. I think this might be the best explanation: Because you can find so many quality razors in thrift stores and at garage sales, (and because soaps and blades are cheap), unemployed Millennials were able to indulge in this hobby. (It's no surprise DE shaving took off at the same time as hipster beards.) The employed could also indulge in it to a greater degree.

When it comes time to get a CPAP machine, look into getting one that auto-titrates. Automatic adjustments seem to produce better sleep, for me at least. Then get something like thisfor travel.

I read the story. I read a Huffpost article about why the story was important. I still don't see it. It's in the New Yorker, so of course it is well-written, but it is fairly meh overall. Neither character is particularly interesting and the plot is hardly novel. It was probably a well-tread meme when 'Brat was a young man.
