  1. Had a pico burger with grilled jalapeños today. It was typical Whataburger “good” but I don’t think I’ll order it again. Because of this thread I think I worked myself up for it. My next trip will be back to ol faithful. #5 w grilled japs and mayo, 86 tomato and mustard. Unsweet ice tea and spicy ketchup

  2. This is what led me down the Alta Mere wormhole last night. Good luck, bro. 
    A Fort Worth bar and live-music venue plans to reopen and host a Fourth of July party to protest the “unjust shutdown” of bars due to coronavirus’ resurgence in Texas. 
    The party, entitled “Rail Club Tea Party” on Facebook, invites people to “enjoy live music and to defy this unjust shutdown that is destroying the lives of our industry.” It is set to take place at the Rail Club Live at 3101 Joyce Drive near Ridglea Hills from 6 p.m. to midnight on Saturday. 
    “It is time to stand in solidarity with one another, it is time to end this emotional and financial roller coaster,” owner Chris Polone wrote in a Rail Club statement on June 28. “We will either succeed or we will become martyrs... This is The Rail Club way... It’s time to run head on into the fire...” 
    Polone spoke with the Star-Telegram via phone on Wednesday from Las Vegas, where he is celebrating his 28th birthday — which is also on the day of the party.
    “We’re not trying to upset anybody or get anyone sick or spit on Greg Abbott,” Polone said. “But our back’s against the wall. It’s more for survival purposes than anything.”
    Tarrant County code compliance issued a notice to Rail Club Bar on June 29 saying that they should stay closed, code compliance director Brandon Bennett said. They also notified the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission of the bar’s plans.
    If the bar opens, “the TABC and Fort Worth police will be notified and additional enforcement measures will be taken,” the notice said. 
    THE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN 
    On Friday, Abbott announced that all bars must close due to a spike in COVID-19 cases in the state. Polone said the sudden closure put him and other bar owners in a financial bind because they had stocked up on inventory for the Fourth of July weekend. Rail Club spent $500 to $600 by hiring various bands. 
    “We were pissed,” Polone said about Abbott’s order. “I almost broke down because we survived COVID once. We had a massive weekend planned, we had been following the rules, but then we woke up to that. No warning, no nothing.” 
    Coronavirus cases have been surging across the state for several weeks. Hospitalizations of coronavirus patients in Texas reached an all-time high Monday after breaking records nearly every day the previous two weeks. Hospitalizations have risen nearly every day of June, and have more than tripled since Memorial Day.
    But bar owners like Polone said the state’s orders have cherry-picked which industries to crack down on to prevent the spread of the virus. On Monday, more than 30 bar owners filed a lawsuit challenging Abbott’s emergency order. 
    Polone pointed out that venues such as Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor remain open while bars are shuttered. He also said it was hypocritical of Abbott to attend a rally at a crowded Dallas megachurch on Sunday while telling people to stay away from bars. Vice President Mike Pence spoke at the rally, where attendees sat close together in pews and many did not wear masks, the Texas Tribune reported.
    There is currently no occupancy limit for religious services in Texas. 
    “We’re starving to death, and it seems like they’re picking and choosing,” Polone said. “We’ve had enough of this financial and emotional roller coaster so we’re going to boycott it.”
    Polone said he was a hazmat specialist for 10 years so he knows how to safely decontaminate the building. The area will be fogged with a pre-approved CDC germicide and the bar will cap at 80 people, or 50% capacity, he said. They will take people’s temperatures and provide hand sanitizer and require customers to wear masks, he said. As of Wednesday, about 41 people RSVPed they were going, and another 110 said they were interested in attending. 
    “It’s safer to come to the Rail Club than Walmart,” Polone said.
     

    Looks like it went about as expected. Screenshots from a FB group.

  3. It’s ass.
    I’m pulling out of a c100 push next season because I dislike it that much. Just going to take it easy and see if I can’t get used to it.


  4. Go to front of Tapa (before choosing surly) and find your settings. Turn off content preview. It’s something in there consuming memory. Probably has to do with how many of the last comments had images

    Did this closed app completely came back and then it appears to be fixed.

  5. I’m still clean. 4yo who recently just started pooping in the toilet, fail. He kept saying his stomach hurt but couldn’t poop. He was playing LEGO’s and let out a juicy toot. He looked up and I could tell something was amiss. Yup, sharted.

  6. I was always amazed at that place. It was never nut to butt like Longhorns and Cowboy Cats was back in my day, but I’ll be damned if it wasn’t always busy. I’ve only been in there a couple times and it was a decent place to drink a couple cold ones and move on.

  7. Also, at any point that the season is still going you can buy the pass and you’ll receive everything you already unlocked. So technically you could just buy it once then never need to buy it again so long as you continue the grind.
