  1. I'm also a big fan of tubeless tires



    For me, tubeless was the biggest game changer. I did ghetto tubeless for a while but still had leaks but no puncture flats. Finally bought a Stans wheelset and it has been bullet proof. I set it up in ‘13 and haven’t added fluid since. I know it’s bone dry but it’s a running joke now to see how long I can go without a flat. I haven’t had one yet. Pre-tubeless I had a dozen or more per year.
  2. I have Liberty Mutual for home and cars and have been happy. I was a long term customer of State Farm and had issues getting my house insured for an acceptable replacement cost. They said the max would be $75/sq ft in Austin. Switched to LM for significantly more auto coverage and good home coverage for about $100 less a month than SF. I recently added a $100k life insurance policy and it actually dropped my total monthly payment by $30 since it put me in a preferred customer group for having 3 types of insurance.

    I was about to ask if anybody had eaten at Flyrite, then I looked at the menu and saw it was sandwiches and tenders only.  WTF?  Are they aiming for Chik-Fil-A?

    The Cowboy sandwich at Flyrite is legit...spicy fried chicken with cheese, bacon, jalapenos.

  4. Barely worth $4.

     

    Never heard of this band but it was a Wax Trax record so old school industrial. Not bad.

    I was hoping to score some shitty punk or metal since that’s their main focus but the box was mostly 70s easy listening rock with a few other eras and genres.

     

    The best of the rest.

    I finally figured it out.  Place I was thinking of was called Gene's.  Total dive but had great fried chicken.  I think it was in the building that is now Hillside Pharmacy. 

    That's the po boy place I was thinking of.

     

  6. End of an Ear has sealed boxes of 40 used vinyls for $4. Just grabbed a box to test it out. Hopefully, it was worth the investment.

    Personally and with no scientific knowledge about this at all, I think we are moving toward a cooling period. I see the ring of fire heating up.  Perhaps even Yellowstone will have a minor eruption.  A volcanic winter will result allowing for California coastal weather in Texas during August.  Sweet....

    FIFY

     Went out to performance bike today, good salesman.  Sat a medium 27.5 (hawk hill) and  large 29 (rift zone, same basic bike).  Just sat.  The guy was bigger than I and rec'd an XL and the L 29er was a little cramped to the point that I didn't think a stem or seat adjustment was going to do it (well a long stem would have, but long stem), I was pretty far over the front axle just sitting it and leaning forward.  Going to order a 27.5 hawk hill in XL and go ride it around, no obligation.  Guy also warned me to hold off buying until next weekend, when it's "triple points."  That will pay for pedals and some other shit.

      

    A good place to buy a bike from if you're iffy on size is REI. You can return bikes for 1 full year just like any other product you buy there.  I bought my Salsa Journeyman from there for that reason. I couldn't find one to test ride and I wasn't familiar with their sizing so I had to make an educated guess. I guessed correctly luckily.  Also, the 10% dividend is a plus.

  9. Or the “us” and “we” is referring to the Triune God. 
    Just saying. 


    Does it say that somewhere or is that the explanation that best fits the text as written? There was no son at the time so was this the Bi-God? I think his name was Lance.


  10. A single-income household with the earner making $127k per year is earning more than about 85% of American households annually.

    A married couple both maxing out of the SS tax are earning more than 97% of American households annually.


    Yeah but 127k isn’t equal everywhere. The people earning that are mostly living in expensive cities where that is middle class and in a few cases, working class. They are supporting the rural shitholes where 127k makes you a 0.1%er.

    Tony’s at 12th and Chicon? One of their weekday specials was smothered pork chops and it was beyond good.

    Name was actually Tony's Southern Comfort. It was on E 6th.  I think it was where Buenos Aires Cafe is.  There's was a po boy shop that had southern classics also. Can't remember the name of it.

  12. There needs to be less people. 

     

    We need more young people to pay for shit and grow the economy but we need less old people who are a drain on the economy.

     

    Really, what we need is a version of Logan’s Run that gives you a death date based on your personal financial situation. $20M+ net worth = no limit. Les than $1M = 65 years old.

  13. Nubian Queen Lola's.  Also, there used to be a good fried chicken place on the East side that I would frequent circa 2007-08.  I think it was called Ben's, but I cant find any record of it on the interwebs.  
     


    Tony’s Southern Cooking was solid and had great friend chicken. Maybe that’s it? Ben’s Long Branch BBQ was in the Franklin building IIRC.
  14. When I went to get my penile reduction my doctor said he used to listen to Led Zeppelin in college, told him I did as well in junior high so all these stories hit close to home...


    I thought it was unethical for a doctor to do a reduction surgery on a micro penis.
