    It's fun that Texas is actually winning games so us fans can now join the complaining against computers debate again.
  2. TheYoungHorn
    Because the board continues to be a willing participant in enabling his fraud, making it legally speaking not fraud.
  3. TheYoungHorn
    As I said earlier, I do.

    Stopped in recently and they are now making their own flour and corn tortillas. Not sure how long this has been going on, but years ago when I ate lunch there once a week it was definitely not the case.

    Plus the massive golden parachute he will get in addition to pilfering from the shareholders all the real estate and brand equity.

    Because when you think about it, simpler is always better. Occam's razor, etc.

    26 and 5 in Giblet's Veer and Shoot, even with these same guys on the offensive line would be fun to watch.
  8. TheYoungHorn
    Of course it would. Because he wouldn't have the benefit of light boxes, open space and an offensive line that excelled under a simpler and more direct system.

    The fact that the only unification that appears from the outside to be happening, is a Laura Morrison lead push to move us further into the do-nothing camp on Land Use issues, is concerning. We need a clear picture of who is going to step up and lead us as an actual counter to those forces, and a vision for how to engage the city's population in working alongside to work for positive, proactive changes that might have the teeth to shape the compact/connected city we claim to want. Not just incremental improvement in representation in regards to some of these issues.
  10. TheYoungHorn
    Exactly. Which is why I am saying we need more than just people who run on a platform of "affordability for all" and appear to be pseudo YIMBYs. Ie, to get anything done we need to start demanding that those who want to make progress on land use issues that we have to stand up and lead, tell the stories why it matters to everyone in this city now (and who will move here) and not try to negotiate or accommodate people/factions that have done everything in their power, and thus acquired and wielded said power in the first place, to stop any form of change or growth that veers from their idealized version of what Austin was, or should be.

    If she is ready to go to bat against the NIMBY wing, then count me on board as a District 1 resident. So, is she?

    Even if Kronk can pull a rabbit out of his hat, and somehow lead this circus into something, anything close to sensibility, how long will it take? I'd imagine 3 years would be the fastest anything could happen. But I highly doubt it.

    Yeah, Pollo Tropical is awesome. Grilled chicken with great black beans and rice. Plus some of the other sides were very good. The group that runs them and Cabana didn't really understand how to expand into a new market and are brain-dead marketers.
  14. TheYoungHorn
    They are actually probably using them to help make dealing easier.
  15. TheYoungHorn
    But as mentioned above, hard to go wrong with Dos Batos.
  16. TheYoungHorn
    Also Schlotzky's and McAllisters if you are into those places.
  17. TheYoungHorn
    Looking for some old generation wireless controllers to use for some Steam gaming. If you have any of these laying around your house I would be interested in putting them back to use. I am in Austin.
  18. TheYoungHorn
    All combined with the proud ethos of wanting to recapture the small, college-town past.
  19. TheYoungHorn
    Well, kinda. If you sign up for their rewards program thing you get a free order of chips and salsa every single visit.
  20. TheYoungHorn
    Yeah, which is proof positive that food and community is what we need more of in this current environment. If we could shut down facebook and cable news, a lot of common ground could be hashed out over tacos, beer and grilled/smoked meats.
  21. TheYoungHorn
    Yeah, a modern day Metroplex West Side Story---err....Romeo and Juliet.
  22. TheYoungHorn
    And the job growth downtown, of high paying jobs in those offices, will continue to support the condos and apartments because...as you mentioned the lack of transport options. That becomes a moot point when you can walk, bike or ride a scooter/uber/autonomous dillo to your office, grocery store, bars and restaurants in under 10 minutes. The office towers are a bigger problem as they bring in more drivers to put more strain on the infrastructure, as most won't live downtown.
  23. TheYoungHorn
    And black people. And really anyone that isn't ,increasingly, rich or white.
  24. TheYoungHorn
    It really isn't that figure that is sad. It's the fact of all the years of work and fighting on all sides to end up with a beyond crappy status quo that will only exacerbate many of the very real problems we have concerning growth in this city.
  25. TheYoungHorn
    This is so predictable. It is also sickening, because it rewards the chicanery that drives this city into a deeper mess.
