  1. My only real quibble with this movie was the pacing of the first hour.  I think this is due to Part Two starting in the middle of the second act of a 5 hour movie.  That took me a bit to adjust to for some reason.  The movie was absolutely gorgeous to look at.

  2. So got a toll tag bill today. Past Due notice, never got one before. Says I was driving my jeep in Austin in February. Well here is the kicker. My jeep has been out of commision since December and the only car I use to go to Austin is my wife's. Fuckers.

    I got rid of TxTag and replaced its with KTag. 100 times better. You don’t even get a bill if your balance is less than $10.

  3. It's not what you asked for, but Evangeline shows a couple of catfish entrees on their menu.  No idea if they're any good or not.
    French Quarter Grill also has catfish, but none appear to be fried.
    So, I'm no help.

    Speedy’s catfish at Evangeline’s is legit.

    It’s tough to think about how Im going to keep my kids safe when they get older.  I’m not too worried about them intentionally taking fentanyl (or coke or Xanax), I’m much more worried about them drinking then doing something stupid once they lose their inhibitions.  Scary shit.

    My experience with my teen is that no one drinks. They all just smoke weed.

  5. Jenny Lewis was awesome last night at one of the Moodys.  Stuck to the hits and a couple of cover tunes.  Took Lil' Brown, who, beforehand, had a hard time understanding that there were bands that didn't play large arenas and stadiums like Tay Tay.  She dug the shit out of it.

    You know you're old when its someone you'd like to see again, but the 10:15 start is out of the question.  

    I skipped Front 242's last ever Austin set a year or so ago because their set time was at midnight.  Oh well, at least I caught them a Mohawk a few years ago.

  7. I don't think I've eaten at a Wendy's in over 15 years.  It's weird because we would eat there maybe once a month and then it just stopped. I'm not even sure where there's a Wendy's if that one on Far West is gone.

    I doubt it. At the end of the day, they or their spouses will go to the same grocery stores they already go to because of convenience or price.  If it’s one thing MAGA does well, it’s being lazy and being cheap.

    A few things they do even better are being short-sighted, evil, and dumb.

  9. I'm still a huge proponent of the idea that Biden drop out right before the convention. It would be chaos, but would also energize everything. Kamala might come out on top, which I'm fine with, but the dems would leave the convention with excitement. I will absolutely vote for Biden, but would love a younger more lively candidate. 

    Fuck no. I’m okay with Biden retiring next summer though.

  10. Terrible incident but I mean, come the fuck on. I'm sure there are other torts they could have pursued for damages, but hey let's go for the big one -- wrongful DEATH? There was only one way this was gonna go with them taking it to the retrogrades on SCOA. I'm sure they had some predictable interest groups "helping" them out too. Good job, moronic dickweeds. 

    That incident sounds staged. It had to have been done on purpose with the result as the end goal.

    Jensen Huang, CEO of NVDA, has risen about 5 spots on the Bloomberg Top 100 List in the past 24 hours. Net worth has gone up nearly $10B since he got out of bed this morning.

    If I was on the board, hookers and blow would be on me tonight.

    This. He’s spending billions on a migrant transportation system that enables and encourages illegal immigration. He might as well be placing ads in Central America promoting free transportation. Someone should create a mock advertisement with Greg Abbott promoting free plane and bus rides to the destination of your choice in the US.

    That would be a worthy billboard to put up in Guatemala.  Surely there's enough left in the wreath fund for it.  The monthly rate for a billboard down there has to be less than tree fiddy.

  13. From that list of dogs, I'd induct Cher, Ozzy, Frampton, Kool & the Gang, and Tribe.

    I love Oasis but they're not even the best Britpop band and they definitely didn't pave the way with their own sound.  No band claims to be influenced by Oasis.

    Kravitz is most famous for having the big afro'd female drummer.  An enjoyable, but derivative, artist.  

    I'm on the fence with Jane's.  I love their music and in hindsight, they probably get more credit than they deserve for being the first mainstream alternative artist in the 90s.  However, they had a unique sound but oddly you never hear of anyone claiming them as an influence.  I think the Pixies and Sonic Youth are more deserving from that late 80s, early 90s era. 

    Your most famous song can't be a cover song, so Sinead is out.

    The rest are undeserving of headlining the Belton County Fair.

     

     

     

  14. I have the largest size, the Yukon.  You must get the ring for underneath it to improve the airflow.  At low temps, it's not remotely smokeless but when the fire is a screaming inferno, it's virtually smokeless as advertised.

    That should be pretty readily fixable so long as there's any sort of electric utility line nearby. Even the loneliest stretches of highway often have a power line alongside. Just a matter of hanging chargers off the poles.

    With 6 months, the biggest rural side hustle will be selling gently used EV chargers on EBay.

     

  16. A joint ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX streamer could work.  Each network's profit is based on view of their IP.  You only pull 9% of the viewer minutes on the streamer? You get 9% of the profits. Expenses for running the infrastructure is split evenly.  It'd incentivize them all to produce quality content.

    Gotta go with Lithium on Sirius/XM for 90s music....

    A good companion station is First Wave which is basically 80s alternative. It's my number 2 station after Lithium.
