  1. Is that Jimmy Flannigan on her right (the guy she unseated)?
  2. Anyone have a good posole recipe for instant pot?
  3. I know there a a joke in here about beavers and rednecks avoiding putting them near their faces but I’m too tired to put it all together.
  4. I have - semi spoiler below (it’s based on what has been shown on the show already but I wouldn’t have put it together if I hadn’t read the books: That is where the 6th book ends, and it sets up the final arc for the last 3 books. If the show sticks the landing it will both be a fairly satisfying conclusion to the last few seasons and also set the stage for future. Just think of it the way that the first 3 seasons all culminated at the ring gates opening, even though there was a whole lot of side quests. Another semi spoiler: I find it oddly satisfying that they seem to be following the books that closely, it says to me that they think they can finish the rest of the story in the future. Maybe movies? Maybe on a different provider? Anyway, they don’t seem to be doing something that is untrue to the universe they’ve created simply because they have been cancelled on Amazon.
  5. This is not the content I came here for. furk.
  6. Yeah, it made him fart up a storm. That shit was noxious.
  7. I don’t think the valuations have anything to do with the bonds - those would only impact the tax rate. Unless you think the bonds (transportation, medical district, transit, etc.) make the city more desirable, in which case that would impact the value of the city.
  8. Front has arrived in Austin. About time.
  9. Has the horse made a cameo yet?
  10. Pics or GTFO
  11. I just got an appraisal for a HELOC to do a remodel. Bought the house in July 2020. Appraisal came back at 78% more than I paid for it 17 months ago. I was pleasantly surprised but want to lock it in a safe and make sure TCAD never finds out.
  12. What say you we get a group of assholes, er, surlites and go to the Desert Door with our own liquer and tajin and drink a whole mess of these?
  13. I got a Sous Vide for Christmas and I’m cooking some filets right now that I’ll sear on the grill before eating. Poking around the app and looking at recipes, and found this: My first thought was: my second thought was: Surly will have some opinions on this.
  14. They are life changing. If your doc has the option for doing a long day with like a ton of shots to get started, take it. It sucks for a couple of hours, but helps immediately. I had to stay at the Doctorss office for about 3 hours and take a bunch of anti-histamines and have an epi-pen ready, but would definitely do it again if needed. I actually need to go back and get back on the regular maintenance schedule, I stopped once my 2nd kiddo was born (she turned 3) and the shot effects are starting to wane - but the fact it lasted that long with no shots is amazing to me.
  15. Absolutely Pouring in NW Hills right now. Over 2” between Steck and Far West according to LCRA and it’s still coming down.
  16. Add Contigo to the list after December 30th https://austin.eater.com/2021/12/17/22842970/contigo-austin-restaurant-closing-december-2021
  17. He threatened to stab you if you took a beer out of his cooler. They were free, but only he was supposed to go in there and hand them out. Some people took the comment as intended. Some people took it seriously. I took the free beer that he handed to me.
  18. He did not go gently into that good night, I have no doubts. RIP brother. There’s no tax man in heaven. Probably lots of them in Hell though.
  19. Yeah, except how did Tom get there a few minutes after them? Did Logan send a helicopter? They kids had been on the road for a while when Shiv called him, and it was almost dark when he had his talk with Greg. Then he walks in 5 minutes behind them. But I’ll forgive that little incongruity, because the set up and delivery was on point.
