  1. A 2 ton car won't flatten me because I always look for traffic. Stop signs are a bit dangerous because drivers aren't used to seeing a scooter zoom across at 15 MPH. I always yield to the cars. The scooter sure isn't sexy, but the ladies like it once they get on. It's actually a good bar pickup tool.
  2. How long is the contract? Do you think you can find another job easily after the contract is over? Do you get paid for vacation, holidays, and sick days? Does the agency provide health insurance and 401K?
  3. I take the back streets with little traffic. Although I'll admit I run a few stop signs and traffic lights. I'm a responsible rider though. The scooter is more fun. Plus I'm not a fan of electric bikes and they are expensive.
  4. I love them. I liked riding them so much in Santa Monica I bought one when I got back home in Houston. It's great for riding around town, and riding to and from work. It's quicker than driving and you don't sweat like you would riding a bike.

    ^^^The mole enchiladas are pretty good
  6. There is one must you should do in Brussels if you are into beer. That is go to Cantillon Brewery. Beer nerds will hate you for going there without them. Only Lambic, Gueuze, and Kriek so you need to be into that stuff or at least willing to try.

    Luna Y Sol is good
  8. I don't know police protocol, but he should have called off the pursuit once they got a helicopter overhead. That's too dangerous for civilians with the shooting and reckless driving going on.
  9. I'll repeat This Airbnb was a perfect location in Brussel. I forget what the neighborhood is calledhttps://www.airbnb.com/rooms/13425316
  10. I don't remember a particular place, but go Vieille Ville (Old Town area) and find some seafood.

  12. It’s a fairytale town, isn’t it? How’s a fairytale town not somebody’s fucking thing?H ow can all those canals and bridges and cobbled streets and those churches, all that beautiful fucking fairytale stuff, how can that not be somebody’s fucking thing, eh? How can fucking swans not fucking be somebody’s fucking thing, eh? How can that be
  13. Brussels is an easy train ride from Amsterdam and worth the trip. You could do a day trip from Brussels to Brugge. Brugge is nice, but I enjoyed Ghent more.

    Dublin

    Guinness and Jameson are not close. I wouldn't bother visiting both unless you have time, and if you do I would recommend the Ireland thread. The Guinness brewery is ok, but I would just head to the top floor. Spend some time in the Temple area and then get the hell out of the tourist spot. Wonder around a bit.
  15. Mez and I were there last year for the Astros game. Fells Point area is where you want to be. It's an easy Uber.

    Cruz vs Beto

    WASHINGTON – Texas U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke raised more than $10.4 million in the past three months, more than doubling the $4.59 million reported by Republican U.S. Sen Ted Cruz, a former presidential candidate who is defending his Senate seat in November. O'Rourke, a rare challenger outraising an established incumbent, also enjoys a substantial cash advantage over Cruz, who still leads in the polls. O'Rourke closed out the quarter ending June 30 with more than $14 million in the bank, compared to Cruz's $10.4 million.
  17. Time to send LMJ down to AAA along with Keuchel and Marwin. Might as well trade Correa because he's always injured. Gattis is slumping again - time for DFA talk again.
  18. Camerata is my favorite wine bar. 13 Celsius is a close 2nd.
  19. You need to find a good add-on, and they change ofen. Neptune Rising has been working pretty well for me.
