    I had the same wallet for 30 years and finally replaced it with the same exact thing and then bought a front pocket wallet for a trip abroad and thought “what the fuck am I doing with my life” and haven’t put a wallet in my back pocket since.

    You don't realize how uncomfortable sitting on a wallet is until you go front pocket.  I can't imagine going back to the stone ages with a bi or tri fold.  There's also the convenience of flashing your ID without having to open a wallet and remove it.  Previously, I wouldn't have thought saving 5 seconds would be a game changer, but it is.

     let's face it, I'm not a scholar at all -- but this seems a non-starter as race is a protected class.  Sure, it will take all kinds of legal machinations to unwind, and it's possible that the concept of race-based civil rights will be undone, but that seems a stretch.

    This chucklefuck is up for the challenge.

    Our entire extended family lives in Texas.

    I will consider myself a failure of a parent if my children stay here.

    We are steering our girls out of state.  I asked my junior if she wanted to apply to any safety schools in Texas and she told me to fuck off.

    They 100% want this. Remember “states rights!” as a rallying cry for the civil war? They never gave that up. They absolutely, with no hesitation or hiding it, want individual states to be able to discriminate however they want. They can invalidate my (interracial, according to the bigots of Juan Crow) marriage. Fuck, if you think that slavery isn’t back on the table, think again.

    Who do interracial people marry? Are we all gonna have to submit our 23andMe DNA results to verify we stay in our racial lane?

    It's a messy story that's too confusing.  

    It's not just confusing but the multiverse renders all events inconsequential.  No one cares if a character dies since there's just another variant to be pulled from another universe.  Kang can be defeated by ants but here's another infinite number of Kangs waiting in the wings. Who cares.

    Maybe the one story that could've been good would've been a Multiverse version of Civil War. Have the bizzarro Avengers from another universe attempting to defeat our Avengers because they breached the multiverse.  That would've probably sucked too.

  6. Which neighborhoods will that actually have an impact?  Virtually every central Austin neighborhood has deed restrictions for one dwelling per lot.  At most, some do allow a detach guest/maid's guest house that is limited in size.   The HOME ordinance specifically says deed restrictions will supersede the ordinance.  I'd love to know which 'hoods don't have deed restrictions. I'm gonna guess it's just a handful scattered throughout the city. 

    All of Pool's district has deed restrictions. It made it easy for her to look progressive without it having any effect on her constituents.

  7. Met someone at Mama Betty's on Parmer the other day.  I'd never heard of this place since I am never up north.  This place was really, really good.  They probably have the best tortillas in town by a large margin.  It was very San Antonio style Tex Mex and those were the best tortillas I've had outside of SA.  I had the Mama Betty tacos which were fajita soft tacos with queso. They were great. If I find myself in BFE again, I'll definitely go back.

    I feel like there should be much more civil unrest. Instead, people and corporations (sorry, redundant) have just become completely apathetic. We even get the college nat'l championship game in Houston despite all the fuckery here. Yay?

    Texans don't give a shit.  As long as they can complain about Biden's gas prices and Mexicans, they don't give a fuck about giving up rights.

    The opening act Danielle Ponder was really, really good.  Different than my normal musical fare, but she was also super engaging with the audience, and she had a big damn voice.  I could totally hear her for example singing the theme song for the next Bond film.  In fact I told "the guy she spoke about meeting on a plane" that if I were her manager I would send a tape every day to Barbara Broccoli in hopes of making that a reality.  Besides the fantastic voice she had a story to tell.  Most interesting is that up until two years ago she was a public defender in NY and decided two years ago to make the leap to music and quit her job.  Great fucking decision.  Anyhow if you see her on a billing take the time to see her, she was the perfect opening act for the Black Pumas.

    God I love live music...

    Never heard of her but I'm digging every song I've listened to on Spotify so far.  Just ordered her album.

  10. For those who didn't know, Johnston was a USGS scientist, who was studying the strange new bulge on the mountain on May 18, 1980.  He was killed in the blast, and the ridge where he died now bears his name, and there is a great observatory there.
     
    He made the famous radio transmission call, "Vancouver!  Vancouver!  This is it!"

    Johnston was the hiker in the pic?

    Think this is the guy.

    From San Antonio, Military service, worked at a shooting range. 

    If this is not him then my apologies Shane

    BA in Philosophy and working in a car wash.  

    His career path was military, Walmart stocker, car wash, delivery driver, laborer, car wash.

    I'd say there was probably something wrong with him.

    I already forgot what was going on. One eyed Trevor Lawrence kid killed a little weeny bastard kid and now there will be a war?

    I watched the New Rockstars trailer breakdown yesterday and he gave a S1 recap and I was like WTF, this all happened? Zero memory outside of the dragon killing the kid.
