    Good choice. I get a gallon of their cold brew curbside once a week.
  2. This storm is falling apart. What a bust.
  3. Astros will probably try to use those when the other team is at the plate.

    Burgers

    Burger Tex was on the drag in that location, next to Antone's Records, at least from the early 90s. I used to play golf at Onion Creek with one of the owners back then. Nice guy. Couldn't putt for shit though.
  5. Outflow coming from the East. Dry line is the Frenchies and the BEF.
  6. Outflow boundary meeting Dryline! Battle of the Marnes Motherfuckers!
  7. The smoked chicken wings from Green Mesquite are still outstanding. And you can get a Shiner in a frosty schooner. Ergo, Green Mesquite gets a pass.
  8. 1. I think she's pretty hot. 2. I was hoping for nudes and a relocation of this thread to ..... another board.
  9. I put my order in just afternoon midnight Wednesday/Thursday for pickup yesterday. The wait in the line of cars down E. 11th to pick up was like an hour long. And they weren't handing out free Lone Star. Still delicious though.

    Poster on Orangebloods saying that Enchiladas y Mas has closed permanently.
  11. Blessed__Daily@BlueBloodOU5h LSU insider just crystal balled Caleb Williams to Oklahoma. 👀 If Williams does go to OU Lincoln Riley is a 🐐 imagine losing a commitment from a 5⭐️ QB then going out & getting an even higher rated 5⭐️ QB & this after getting the 5⭐️ 2019 #1 QB.
  12. Are you sure about that? I had to "opt in" to the new payment system and send them a check for $150. It was crystal clear from the email and mailing I received that if you wanted to cancel your contract you just didn't send them $150. In fact, here's the email I received that required you to sign a new agreement. Did you sign a new agreement AND send them a $150 payment and now you want a refund?
  13. Valuations are, in theory, as of January 1. In other words, before the shit hit the fan. So commercial valuations, in theory, should be increased. I went ahead and paid ProTax the 150 for my house on the bet that they wouldn’t have as many clients this year since the Tax Assessor said they would keep everything at last year’s values. And yeah. If your tax value was below your market value last year, you’re going up. Which is another reason the protest.
  14. When they changed the gold skin on the Bank One building to blue. https://austin.towers.net/in-loving-memory-downtown-austins-golden-mirror/
  15. COMING APRIL 13! Pull up a bar stool, Austin. Jeff Ward is back. Beginning April 13, the longtime local talk-radio host is returning to the conversation with “The Jeff Ward Show” — airing live weekdays, 9 a.m. to noon, on the new Statesman News Network. “I don’t cheer for political parties. In fact, I spend a great deal of time ripping them,” says Ward. “I’m an Austin guy who likes to talk about Austin stuff.” https://statesmannewsnetwork.multiscreensite.com
  16. Flash flood warning for most of southern Travis County for the next 2 hours

    Burgers

    Yeah. That one on the Drag and the one in Oak Hill (where Via Pizza is now) were our typical go-tos. When they closed we'd occasionally venture north to the one on Airport. It wasn't quite the same, and that space was gross. That whole building probably is being held together by spilled beer from upstairs.

    Poster on Reddit saying that the last Burger Tex closed down (on Airport). RIP Bulgoki burger. Maybe Barfly's will expand downstairs.
  19. Oh Okay. That wasn’t what Schumer was protesting about or what my discussion with GOLL was about.
  20. Roberts was the deciding vote in the Texas case that was more or less the same as this new case from Louisiana. Are you saying that was the wrong choice?
  21. Got it. I misunderstood your original point and thought you were questioning his position on the case in question. Lo siento. As a lawyer (not an appelate or trial lawyer, but a Con Law nerd and AmJur recipient lol) I still feel like Schumer was way out of line (as is Trump when he goes off on judges and justices).
  22. So should he have not responded to a leader in another branch of the government? I’m mean that’s a fair comment if that’s your point. Was that it? Roberts for all his faults has tried to maintain the decorum and public non partisanship of the Court. He’s not responsible for Kavanaugh or Gorsuch being appointed (or Sotomayor who was also a political appointment like Kavanaugh).
  23. Not sure what your point is. Roberts voted against the similar Texas law. Are you suggesting he was out of line for responding to Schumer? I’m not a big fan of Roberts personally given his predisposition to upholding Executive branch authority (regardless of the party) but I don’t see an issue with his statement here.
  24. WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts publicly chastised Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Wednesday over comments Schumer made outside the court as the justices were hearing a case on abortion rights. Schumer, D-N.Y., suggested that President Donald Trump's court appointees, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, "won't know what hit" them if they vote to uphold abortion restrictions. He spoke during a rally on the sidewalk in front of the court building. "I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price,” Schumer said. In a highly unusual written statement issued late Wednesday, Roberts said "statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only appropriate, they are dangerous." "All members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter," Roberts said. The court was hearing a challenge to a Louisiana law requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. It was the first major abortion case to reach the Supreme Court since the retirement of Anthony Kennedy, who voted to uphold a woman's right to choose. He was replaced by Kavanaugh, who is generally more conservative. Schumer told the crowd that state legislatures are waging a war on women by passing tough new abortion laws. "I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions." The senator's spokesman said Schumer was referring to the political price Republicans "will pay for putting them on the court." It was a warning, the spokesman said, "that the justices will unleash major grassroots movement on the issue of reproductive rights against the decision." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/rare-rebuke-chief-justice-roberts-slams-schumer-threatening-comments-n1150036
