  1. Thats nice but way way more than I need or want. Esp since I might be moving to FL in a few years to chase down this nurse I've been seeing and I also plan to have a place in CR
  2. Well two things. A. Her moms house is NEISD and that's what determines their school B. They are in the STEM program and that's open to anyone in SA
  3. Post it. I have been debating selling my house and moving downtown. My son is going to be a HS Senior and my daughter who is going to be a freshman at LEE are thinking about moving downtown
  4. Either Tulamar or Parador if you want high end. There are tons of other small spots all over MA depending on your preferences
  5. They are are still going to be tens of millions short I expect. At least PSG seems to have no issues paying massive transfer fees.
  6. I've never paid a dime for either and that includes both of my kids and my special lady friend. I have 3 cards that pay for all of it
  7. They are largely disconnected programs. Think of security as two completely different steps. 1 ID check 2 baggage and body screening Clear bypasses step 1. After that you go to step two. If you have pre you got to the pre screening If you don't you go to normal screening.
  8. I usually get to SAT an hour before my flight. I'm usually through security in 10 mins with CLEAR and Pre; with 50 mins to take off and 20 or so mins to boarding. If you think I'm going to sit with the unwashed for 20 mins longer than I have to you are mistaken
  9. Daily driver
  10. I'm just glad to have some exciting attacking football for the first time in years. I will be going to a match in London sometime this fall if anyone else is up for a trip
  11. I didn't create it the same analyst whose research started this thread did. I'm sure data scientists love this shit
  12. The wave of forced selling probably has a lot to do with the amount of leverage in a lot of these STRs. Lack of revenue combined with even a small decrease in value could cause some selling
  13. I also think that regulations will continue to make short term rentals illegal in more and more places. I want to say I saw a snippet of Dallas banning them.
  14. Speaking of cameras. True story. I stayed in an airbnb in Nashville for a conference at the convention center. I didn't stay in the hotel for two reasons. One is that the prices are insane for conferences. Two the last thing I want to do is be around a bunch of conference attendees after the conference. I stayed in a studio apartment about a 20 min walk away. The owner looked to be mid 20's and pretty damn good looking. This was clearly her home as most of her stuff was there. My guess is she leaves her place and stays with a boyfriend or friend and makes some easy coin. I had returned to the airbnb and wanted to watch a game on the TV and went looking for the remote. Wasn't on the TV stand. So I opened the left drawer. Filled with thongs. Closed it. Opened the right drawer. Filled with bras. My review said something to the effect of "midtown was very respectful of my things" which I assumed meant the camera did not show me sniffing her thongs.
  15. I've had some great Airbnb stays and I've had some not so good. I think the economics are catching up with Airbnb and many of their best owners have apparently created a direct competitor to bypass the high fees. I agree that airbnbs are especially good when you have multiple couples or families who may or may not fit well in a hotel/resort esp when you want your own space. There are times and places where I want to have a kitchen and be able to cook and there are times when I want a hotel lobby with a bar and a restaurant and room service and housekeeping. (will concede that many hotels are not offering daily housekeeping) Their customer service is a complete joke. I was notified the morning of arrival that my airbnb in Brussels that there was no hot water and was told to look for a hotel if I didn't like it. Took me hours upon hours just to get a free night. Its too bad because the apartment was fantastic The biggest issue for me these days is that as of now Airbnb has no loyalty program. I get hundreds if not thousands of dollars in free stays and benefits with Hilton. I think vrbo, hotels.com and one other have started a loyalty program.
  16. Taqueria Datapoint. Moved to Dezavala when they had the fire from their original location. The googles tells me they reopened in the med ctr
  17. Good for Winksy. I'm actually quite pleased so far with this window. Would like to see one of these CBs actaully signed.
  18. Just a reminder to all you married guys getting the chop. When you get divorced all the single moms will be very pleased with this
  19. I was told there would be no maths
  20. I think Levy has been clear that the number is 100. If Bayern can do 70 then they can do 100.
  21. I live in one of the neighborhoods next to the Taqueria Datapoint Dezavala. It's quite good and kind of a SA institution. The late-30's waitress with all the gang tats is kind of hot. Depends what you want to eat. If you need some craft beers the Dooryard in the same center has some good beer. Lastly across the street in the Exxon is a Nepalese dumpling house called Momo. Surprisingly excellent. Definitely get the spicy Ginos Deli is 5 mins. Its something like the 4th highest rated restaurant in Texas on yelp or some crazy stat like that @JGrayDBU
  22. I've always liked Madison. Maybe he will punch Vardy in the face now
