  1. I'm pretty sure that grainy low res pic of me on the Costco card was from when it opened in Austin 20 years ago. Good luck matching that up to a human.
  2. I think a friend of mine made this mistake. She's an excellent realtor and has a dozen rental properties. A few years ago, she decided to enter the AirBnB game but due to house location, which was great for a long-term rental, it never, ever rented. A 3/2, completely remodeled and nicely furnished but it would only occasionally rent to a family that was visiting relatives the vicinity. Pretty sure that to date she's never made back the furniture expenses from rental fees but did okay selling it at the height of the market.
  3. The chef's kiss will be a reduction in white admissions as universities start using socio-economic and other non-race based criteria to assure a well rounded incoming class. I'd bet the GQP starts screaming for race based admissions within a decade.
  4. Once it breaks $7, I'm setting a stop-loss at a dollar below every barrier it crosses. My cost basis is $1.98.
  5. If you just go to Google Maps and enter "short term rental", many of them pop up there with a link directly to the property manager's website that is always cheaper per night and with none of the bullshit fees. I've had really good luck going that route.
  6. It makes sense. Somebody was paying for that shared account and they're most likely not going to cancel the subscription because they can't share it any longer. All Netflix could do is gain subscribers from cracking down on sharing accounts.
  7. I wonder if giving extra points to a kid that attends a majority minority high school would even break the law. You're not considering the race of the applicant, you're just giving a kid extra credit for attending a majority minority high school.
  8. Basically, the administrator just reiterated that the lights come on 300 feet prior to stopping and just make sure you're paying attention and reminding the public about that was more important than collecting fines. When I called my wife to tell her the ticket was dismissed and I relayed what he'd said about the lights, she immediately interrupted with bullshit about it being on a curve and she couldn't see. I was like that's why I had to go down there. You would've argued yourself into a ticket because you don't know when to shut the fuck up and take the win.
  9. Just go in and don’t be a dick. Had the fine cancelled since my wife was with close enough to passing within 1 second of the arm extending. I guarantee if she’d gone instead she would’ve argued her way into paying the ticket.
  10. The Covenant. Pretty, pretty good. The interpreter was way more competent than of the Army guys he was assigned to. No wonder he was considered hard to work with. He was tired of everyone's incompetence.
  11. I get to fly United to Denver in two weeks.
  12. Almost pulled the trigger on some $5 strike options last week. FML.
  13. So what was on special at Sam's BBQ the next day?
  14. I have my hearing today at 5PM at the bus barn office behind the Burger Center. That's convenient living north of the river. I printed out my old flight receipt that shows I was out of town that week. Hopefully that's enough to make this stupidity go away.
  15. UTPA was combined with UT-Brownsville to make UTRGV.
  16. Word is City has dropped out of bidding on Rice after the £105M offer. A conspiracy theory is that Arteta asked Pep to bid just so it’d light a fire under his board to get this done so he did it as a favor to his buddy. That would be one explanation why City put in a bid for a player they don’t need for any reason other than hoarding the best players on the bench.
  17. I’m excited to go visit friends in Ohio on Saturday because the high all week is 79.
  18. She bared it in Wolf of Wall Street. Completely bare like god intended.
  19. I had my HVAC replaced a decade ago but the installer did say that we’d just missed the seasonal price increase of 40%. You don’t want to replace it May-September if possible. Sorry about your luck.

    I know Keller needs minutes if we are going to keep him but he looked terrified out there. Slow decision making and nearly created a scoring opportunity for Houston with an ill advised pass across the middle. Luckily, he wasn’t really called upon to do much. He was in a bad position in the box once but Houston couldn’t take advantage of it. If he gets minutes in game that’s close, he’s gonna be a major liability again.
