Same here.

I'd much prefer to deal with someone less angry than the pharmacist upthread when purchasing my thc. I'll stick with my non-pharmacy sources, k thx bai!

Great series, and IIRC it won an Emmy or two recently. I watched it on HBO last year and absolutely loved it.

I used to keep these posts to the drinking threads, but I'm a bit buzzed and here we are. Love y'all ❤️

Yep, 3 of us. Following up with more drinks at Barton Springs Saloon right now

Just finished up at Texas Chili Parlor- excellent as always

With her bad knee she shouldn't throw anybody.

I worked at TI during that era- in the Semiconductor group in Houston (DSPs specifically). The CEO (Jerry Junkins) died the same week I started, and Rich Templeton took over the Semiconductor group at that point... selling off everything non-SC. I'd graduated from college 3 weeks earlier so I had no idea what good leadership/management looked like at the time but he seemed sharp.

In ~25 years of posting on the various iterations of our discussion boards I don't think I've ever posted on any iteration of CR. Over the last 10 days I've been following this thread pretty much all day/night. Many thanks to all of you for the information you share and the informative discussion (and even the sidetracks)... and holy shit @Js1, well done!

Seemed like a good day for lunch at Crown & Anchor- did not disappoint.

Similar all around (minus the clients part). This is my 20th year to attend and I long ago stopped recognizing most band names except maybe half of the headliners. Most years I make time to get familiar with the unknowns before the festival but this year I didn't bother. For today- @texasdago posted his picks upthread somewhere. I've favorited his picks in the app for when I'm wandering around but will generally end up going with the flow of my group and enjoying the people watching and drinks. Norah Jones was fantastic yesterday and I also really enjoyed Elderbrook, Mannequin Pussy, Foster the People, Porter Robinson, and Blink 182.

I saw Terrifier 3 last week at Fantastic Fest. I didn't think it was possible, but they bumped it up a notch from Terrifier 2.

That'd be fucking hilarious

This is a fun stretch in Austin every year with Fantastic Fest in late September and ACL Weekend 1 the next weekend. Fuck yeah!

I'm surprised to see hate for Reality Bites. As someone born directly in the middle of the Gen X era and who saw it in the theater during college it really hit home with me. I enjoyed the hell out of it. I had an unexpectedly interesting experience with it when they released the 10-year anniversary edition of it with Writer's commentary. As a kid in college watching it I thought Ben Stiller's character was a huge douchebag. Watching it 10-11 years later on Netflix (before they offered streaming) I got the DVD that included the Writer's commentary special edition. Watching it again at that age, ~8 years post-graduation from college, things were reversed- the recent grads seemed like the douchebags and I related to Ben Stiller's character way more. The chick who wrote it, on the commentary track, said she experienced the exact same thing upon rewatch all those years later after writing it. Good times- that movie will always occupy a special place in my heart for a certain moment in time/culture.

Props to all who have contributed to this thread. I had my first one yesterday and reading the posts in this thread was super helpful in the week or so leading up to it. As others have said, the procedure itself is a breeze and Propofol is impressive. After they told me they were about to start the Propofol I recall hearing 5 or so beeps from whichever machine was beeping and then I woke up in the recovery room 20-30 minutes later feeling completely fine. The prep process wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting- my doc prescribed Suprep and mixing it with almost frozen water the taste was 99% masked. The volume wasn't bad either. If I had to do it again that way I'd be fine with it, but next time I might go for the pills others have mentioned (by the time I saw that was an option I'd already picked up the Suprep kit). I hit Taco Deli for lunch afterward and then took a long nap at home. The staff where I went were all excellent- very friendly, helpful, easygoing, and professional (Northwest Hills Surgical Hospital). I highly recommend them if they're convenient to you.

I believe this image was from the Roman's Big Adventure saga

100x this ^

Because your mom was a whore- it's that simple.

With all of the excellent "scenery" on the trail this morning that is completely understandable.

Nice timing on this post, I saw him 45min ago.

That still crosses my mind occasionally when I'm playing that stretch of the Zilker course. How long ago was it that you yelled that at us from your car- 2007? Well played, sir. 👏👏👏
