  1. We saw it yesterday…on a side note holy shit Alamo food has gone downhill and up in price, at least it was awful yesterday. Oh well they had Pecan Porter. Good family movie…kids enjoyed the ride, I caught all the throwback references and any movie that’s under 2 hours gets my respect (have a burning hatred for overly long movies with too much filler). As far as movies I’ve caught with wife/kids in tow, well executed and entertaining enough. The music was where I caught the nostalgia hard though. Stuff from SNES Mario will always get my attention. It was all worked artfully into the overall score and didn’t blare out ‘and now something for you old folks who remember music from a game 30 years old!’
  2. Because she needs to look like the obedient, submissive retired housewife to deal with the overblown, misogynistic egos of the men she serves?
  3. Then you just install some simple piping
  4. Sell it to dumbasses as Raw Water
  5. Well there’s ‘social media’ (yes I get it’s a blog) in a nutshell…giving everyone a voice and potential audience. Malcontents will be dissatisfied with wherever they live, and certainly Karen it up on the interwebs. I moved here in 02 from Stillwater, taking an entry tech support job at $13/hour. Three years later I bought a house in Pville. Got married and built a house in Cedar Park in 2012, when the market was still recovering from ‘08 yet rates were low. Point being I’ll certainly acknowledge I was very fortunate to move to this area when I did, because no way I afford a home that way now. And yes the metro area has changed significantly. But I wouldn’t whine on social media if I tried to move to San Diego, lived there for three years, then proclaimed it’s changed too much and is too expensive.
  6. I knew all that media attention was going to make them get creative, but I didn’t expect the Rainey killer to get that gruesome wow
  7. Coming soon, the esteemed voting products company D.O. Minion
  8. Of course they settled. Is the special master still a thing?
  9. “Right after the jurors and alternate jurors were sworn in, one alternate juror told the judge he couldn’t participate. “I’ve been up all night — I can’t do this,” he said, without explaining further.” I hear man, if I were on that jury I’d have been up all night too…furiously jacking it to the thoughts of the beat down I was going to see the next day.
  10. Hate to dox the guy, but he sure looks like Matthew Figurelli
  11. Ehh two of the smartest people I know, who ‘paid attention in school and worked hard’ with graduate degrees…are in education, which we all know pays handsomely. I chose to go the professional route, probably average 25-30 hours/week of real work and make 2-3x their salaries. Besides, EVs in my personal experience, are predominately owned by people in the private sector…or the Indian families in my ‘hood. Dad drives a mode X/3/Y and mom drives a slate-gray Odyssey, almost without fail.
  12. This shit has had me worried for awhile now. We have a roaming band of 10-12 kids that are all grades 1-4 that play together, mine included. There’s a text chain where we communicate, they know not to run into yards of people they don’t know, and my 3rd grader has a watch we can keep in touch with. At this age they’re not out after dark, but it’s coming. However NextDoor is full of stories on package thieves, homeless people and general concern/anger about anything that isn’t white bread perfect. Last winter a gang of teens were walking down the street tipping over trash bins and generally being assholes…imagine how NextDoor was then. So I’m sure a certain group are constantly huddled around the tv sitting on a pile of guns On the other hand it’s cedar park, predominantly Indian and Asian families…so I doubt most are packing heat, but my Cajun neighbor has pistols all over his house and the rest of their street was covered in One Family crap last election…and leading killer of young kids ya know.
  13. I’m sure he felt that he didn’t do anything wrong
  14. Posrep to offset bitchass Parliament
  15. You’re, uhhh, wasting your time
  16. Isn’t Perfect 10 both?
  17. Let me get this straight…Nima and Lee were in a secret volatile gay romance gone wrong, when a crazy homeless guy told Nima he saw Lee fucking his married sister, causing Nima to become enraged and ultimately killed Lee after a disagreement about how powerful the homeless lobbying element is in San Fran? Someone call Nicole so we can get the real truth here
  18. Somebody outta build a town that works
  19. Just cause this shit always cracks me up
  20. Yes let’s shoot off on another tangent before the motive is established
  21. Pretty sure Perry knows exactly what he’s doing. It’s the statewide rubes that he’s pandering to. Good luck reaching them.
  22. Do you have and are competent with a multimeter? Do you know how to solder? Are there any clearly burnt out components you can see? It could be as simple as a blown fuse that can be eyeballed and doesn’t require solder, up to a cratered ASIC that’s almost impossible to replace…or even find. I hate tossing out good shit in this ‘everything is disposable’ word we live in…but without model number (have you googled the mode number + failure mode to see if it’s a common issue) and details, doubt anyone can answer that.
