Thought that this was a good thread to resurrect.
Want to give a big shout-out to Discount Tire. They have really upped their game lately -- I'm guessing the "pandemic" had something to do with it.
I bought my replacement tires online and scheduled an appointment for installation. Once I checked in at the suggested 15 minutes prior to my appointment, the tech used a new handheld electronic tire scanner to verify the condition of all my tires (I was only replacing two). Then I was put into the queue at #1.
While I was in the store reading a magazine I brought with me, I was hearing walk-up customers being told that it would likely be a three, three and a half hour wait for their installation to be complete.
I was out of there with my new tires just 30 minutes after the scheduled appointment time. Winning.

I need to get into the shower trailer rental business.
Pro tip: Focus on the 50 person camps -- same rate, but less wear and tear on your equipment.

I don't know if this guy that says he can get you paid if you handle robo-callers correctly is legit, but I saw this article this past week:

City staff estimates it will cost a cool $180K annually per person per outdoor campsite. Get ready for the next wave of fuckery.
Not sure where you are getting the $180K/per resident. The higher cost per resident population 50 camp is estimated at $1,368,800. $1,368,800 divided by 50 results in $27,376, per resident annually -- at least on my calculator. Maybe you are saying that a typical City of Austin project budget is normally underestimated by a factor of 6?
Entirely possible.

If they did then they would implement quality control.
That was why I never did anything injectable, ever. Didn't trust was was in the product (or the strength that it was cut to). Silly me, I never knew that a pill, a puff, or a snort could kill you just as easily as an injectable now that fentanyl is in the mix.
Good to be older and wiser. RIP to Jake.

I’ll be working in San Antonio tomorrow around loop 410 and 35. Anything worth trying that way?
Lots of Bill Miller Bar-B-Q locations down there. I can recommend the Fried Chicken and French Fries.

This is going to present quite the dilemma for the 5th Circuit. On the one hand, I'm reasonably sure their bankruptcy philosophy is fairly anti-debtor, meaning they're going to want to find a great deal of "discretion" or leeway for dismissing for abuse. On the other hand, they're all about allowing corporations to do unto others, so there's that.
Maybe they'll do the ultimate GQP and set up one rule for corporate debtors in Ch. 11, and another rule for individual debtors in Chs. 7 & 13.
I'm sure that the mastermind lawyer at the top of Comerica Tower in Dallas is patting Wayne on the head and telling him "this is working out great, we've got 'em right where we want them" and also, "here is our most recent invoice for the work completed through yesterday midnight, we'd appreciate a wire transfer payment before the cutoff time tomorrow."

Absolutely. Also, the Bob Newhart Show episode where Emily goes to Seattle for Thanksgiving, leaving Bob at home by himself and Jerry, Carlin, Howard, and Peterson come over and get drunk and order Chinese food.
More Moo Goo Gai Pan!

As an Army kid, I remember about once a month some kid in my school lost their dad in combat in Vietnam. I was about 10 years old (1968) but it left an ever lasting impression on how happiness can change so quickly. Never will forget the day my good friend told me his dad got killed when his helicopter got shot down.
Yep. I'll never forget my Cub Scout Den Mother showing us the helmet of her newly deceased helicopter pilot husband and father of one of my fellow Cub Scouts.

I'm becoming ambivalent about run ruling the roaches. It may be better for their pain to endure for two more innings.

Getting ahead of myself, but this would be a great way to close out this series:
6.5. 5 10-Run Rule. ... By Conference rule, however, in Big 12 Conference play, the mercy-rule (10-run lead after the seventh inning) will be enforced only for double-headers, the last playing opportunity of a series and the non-championship games of the Big 12 Championship.
Who knew? Glorious.

And that is the way it should be. Unless your last name is Kardashian -- errrything doesn't have to happen in public. I never post anything on those internet obit sites. That shit is between me and the family.

As a freshman, I lived in Jester and rode the elevator with Jim Bertelsen any number of times. Everyone in that dorm was pretty much in awe of the football players and you didn’t go out of your way to speak when riding with them unless they initiated the conversation. Bertelsen, however, was approachable. He projected a kind demeanor and didn’t look like he’d pile drive you if you said, “Hi”. Our conversations were brief, but they left a big impression on an 18 year old frosh.
It must suck to be a famous guy just doing life. I usually just give them a nod to let them know that I know. The fuckers trying to get photos and autographs are insufferable. Michael Dell and his family just trying to have brunch at Chez Zee was a beating.

Sex and the City had no business being ranked in this category. The only obvious miss to me was "Newhart", the 80's era show with Bob Newhart as a New England inkeeper. That show's finale had the classic dream sequence ending where he wakes up with Suzanne Pleshette (his "Bob Newhart Show" wife) in their "Bob Newhart Show" bedroom stage set. Such a great inside joke.
Very cool that Gary Shandling had two shows on that list. He was a comedic genius.

Constitutional Carry just passed by the Texas Senate 18-13.
Back to the House for concurrence, then to Abbott’s desk.
That crashing sound you just heard was the collapse of the whole CHL training industry in Texas.
