I guarantee thatβs better for their business in almost every way. The thing about them, especially depending on whether the town receives a lot of through traffic, is that almost all of their customers are locals. The smaller the town, the older that clientele is likely to be. So, the food needs to be cheap for a couple reasons. Older folks and those living in small towns generally have lower incomes and are less prone to spend it on finer dining. To ensure the restaurant is regularly filling up, they need those locals to be coming several days a week. If the food costs much more than it costs to eat at home, the locals will just eat at home. Really, theyβre making the same exact food their customers would make at home and just charging a bit extra to save them the hassle of cooking for themselves. Additionally, someone thatβs going to eat at the same place multiple days a week is going to want absolute consistency. Thatβs much easier to do with cheap, processed food than it is with farm to table. Point being, while small town folks may want better options locally, they wonβt actually support them enough for those places to survive. Nobody is driving from Austin to Liberty Hill for a good meal that they could get here for a few more dollars. Even in the places with a lot of through traffic, itβs harder for the more expensive places. Letβs say Iβm driving through some random town and want to stop for a bite. I see two options, one where the parking lot is nearly full and one where thereβs only a few cars. Iβm more likely to pick the busy one on the assumption that itβs better. But it might not be. It might just be the cheaper one that everybody goes to several days a week rather than the good restaurant they only splurge at once a month. Wow. What a weird rant I just went on.

It won't be long before a household or even a neighborhood fights back because what do they have to lose? Their lives? What's a life worth when everything is taken and you're treated like a peasant with no rights.

I grew up loathing green beans, all we ever had was canned. Then one time when I was maybe around ten years old, for some fancy lunch we were having, my mom made some fresh. I didn't want to try them but my folks made me. I took a tiny bite, then took another, and discovered how much I loved them. Turns out green beans didn't have to be a salty mushy disgusting mess. They could be bright and crisp and flavorful. From then on, I'd always ask my mom for fresh green beans, and she taught me how to snap and string them. Turns out that she hated doing that part, which is why she always used canned, but I didn't mind it at all. I'd just sit at the kitchen counter snapping, while she went on about preparing other parts of the meal. It's one of the early ways I began learning how to cook for, and take care of, myself. Now I love making fresh green beans for my own family. And of course, my kids don't like them-- they actually prefer canned!

Weaker currency and lower stock prices. We are going to beat those shit-hole countries at their own game! Except the 94% lower egg prices

I may have engaged in hyperbole in the first sentence.

Texas Baseball 2025 - The Schwining tradition starts here...
BurdineBandit replied to petscii's topic in Baseball
This. The entire premise of the opinion piece is based on Schloss and him being "stolen" as if we had no right to hire a coach from another school. By now it's common knowledge that the guy followed CDC probably even more than he wanted to be at Texas. The basis of the argument is shit. The rest of the points are either horse or bull shit, take your pick. We were apparently not supposed to go after Beard because of some gentlemen's agreement that D1 schools never upgrade their coaching? That the first time I've heard of that. Tech and A&M certainly didn't look to their locker room to hire their next coaches, they poached, like every school that can afford a coaching search. -

So the 2 WR standouts in spring practice (Parker Livingstone & Daylan McCutcheon) both are from Lucas, Texas (Lovejoy). Anybody have that on your Bingo card? -
So when Biden was president and the stock market was booming, Trump took credit for it. Now after he's been president for three plus months, and has single-handedly wrecked the market and our economy, it's Biden's fault.

I've done it on an early February morning. Ages ago a buddy and I were doing an early morning run on the trail and he suggested/dared jumping in the pool so we took the spur over from the creek bridge. We stayed in for ~10 minutes (it felt super nice) knowing it was going to be cold as fuck when we got out. It was fun to do, but once was enough for me.

I grew up in Austin and my mom also made the canned pear halves with Miracle Whip and Velveeta. I tried to make them a couple of times but they were never quite right and then I realized I was using real mayo and a good American cheese. It is one thing Miracle Whip is good for. My grandmother would sautΓ© chopped bacon until almost crisp add chopped onions and cook a little bit and then add a large can of drained green beans. They are fabulous and great if you are pressed for time.

Itβs so much easier for the rubes to blame Biden than it is for them to confront the fact that theyβre idiots who voted for a convicted felon conman.
