Speaking of cheap/free food and booze. 2 for $5 chopped beef and $3 6 packs of Pearl Lager or Mickeys, your choice: To keep it current, below is the bar I probably frequented the most during my last stretch in Austin:

Okay, maybe I've lost my mind, but didn't they have free pizzas on like Tuesday or something?? And I recall then being pretty tasty. Speaking of free food, it's gone (sorry Dago) but free hotdogs at Blackcat on Mondays I think, which is also where I discovered $1 PBR and Sister Seven, then Little Sister and not infrequently a joint being passed through the crowd.

Bro, it's clear you've never actually dated a belly dancer. If you had, you would know they're always on about "performance" and "art". They need an audience according to their mantra or something. Not unlike women who "dance" at a "gentleman's club" good luck getting a lap dance or show at the crib. It's like I'm talking to children.

I'm an old. I was an 80s virgin.

That really is a topic that deserves its own thread. Lot more weirdness in that case than I was lead to believe. She's no Ed Gein, but she might be a Patrick Bateman.

Neck? I think brain was the word you were looking for in this instance. But yeah, every fucking time. There I am, relaxing while sipping my Chai ready for some amazing entertainment and boom, another axe wielding skull cracker comes in crashing the party. So predictable.

Agree typically, but I don't think that holds true this year. Honestly, I can see only 1-2 wins. Amazingly, Arkansas might be in worse shape that the aggies. Yes, I think they could lose to Bowling Green. Arkansas, imo I'd the team that determines if they are above 500 in Oct. Things get worse from that point. However, your point stands. That September OOC schedule is hurribad outside ND. I really only see 3-4 wins total and that's IF they beat Pig and don't lose to Bowling Green.

This is a masterpiece of fine work, sir.

Yeah, I'm willing to power through the humiliation of our staff pulling in great portal transfers that fill gaps and expand strengths to make our team more competitive. It won't be easy, but I'll somehow manage.

Love that place and at the right time/weather you can avoid a lot of crowds.

Hah! It donned on me that I actually only met 1 of them here the first time. If they are gay I'm a little disappointed none of them ever hit on me. I haz a sad.

Another outdoor place I haven't seen mentioned:

I know this is going to put my sanity into question but he, @Brisketexan, @immamac and @utee94 are four of my favorite things in Austin. While I may not miss living in Austin I miss people and places in Austin. To switch back, a place I miss and love (granted not IN Austin but...):

I'd need to know a lot more about the data sets and methodologies before really getting into the depths. At a high level just as slut shaming was and remains a very real thing, back in 89-2000 I can't think of a single male I knew that would admit to being a virgin. These days, the stigma of being a virgin isn't what it used to be and that could account for a large increase of men admitting they are virgins.

At this point I'd take pretty much any CB that can line up and cover a top WR in press.

Well, this is a very subjective topic. It's depends on a lot of various aspects. First, what sort of shooting you do is a major factor. For example, I used to do a lot of competive shooting and tactical classes. In a IDPA shoot, it's pretty normal for me to use 100 or more rounds of ammo, for a 3 day tactical class, easy 500 and possibly a lot more. I was shooting about 4 competitions a month and 2-3 classes per year. So 400 rounds per month in competition of say, 9mm, plus 2 classes per year in let's just say 9mm there too is 5800 rounds per year. I'm am WAY above normal, and shooting competitions much less frequently now, but even so, I keep ammo around for that. So my numbers are great sku'd. If you add in "prep" for the zombie apocalypse well... Right now an election is coming and the economy is weird. So... I think conservatively for monthly range trips (50-100 rounds ??) in a single (the one you shoot most frequently) pistol caliber, I'd say 1000 rounds of that ammo is what I would suggest. That's a years worth of range ammo with a smaller amount of "zombie emergency ammo". (Zombie ammo needs fall into the super Grey area of prep world and I'm certain there are folks with millions of rounds) Personally, at that level, I'd refresh monthly for a month. Basically, get a store of around 1000 then buy around 100 per month and the ammo bills won't ever get too big, particularly with an election on the horizon. Shit ALWAYS goes wonky in these years. Quick side note: I'm super finicky when it comes to "Zombie ammo" and a lot less so on "practice ammo". I set up notifications when multiple specific ammo becomes available for both. Check prices when they do, and if they fall below x threshold pic up a few boxes. I'm like a fucking day trader with ammo and during covid sold enough ammo to my LGS (who's also a friend) to pay for a CCMG AR in 9mm.

I've crossed up places from long ago, and recent history, most of which I still like. It's what did and does make Austin great to me. Rather than focusing on why someone else's great doesn't qualify as great to you, contribute what you think is great and love.

WOP And I can say it but you can't.

For the record, you aren't the only Italian representative on Surly.

My skeptical radar is going off a bit on that one. Then again, the world has lost its mind so..

Yeah, should have listened to my own "WTF no way!" warning.

I neglected to turn on my sarcasm meter this AM. Sorry.

Convient to the "new" Dragons Lair location.

Seriously? I'm really not trying to be a Surly ass. You've never heard of Crown and Anchor? Did you attend UT? Really, Crown was among the best known places.
