    We lead the league in frosted tips, huh?

    Ring at CB. Don’t hate it. Urruti is better than Zardes though. Jeez.
  3. Bad joke based on a misspelling. Apologies.
  4. He was wreckless. The other car… not so much.
  5. I got all of the way through Our Idiot Brother thinking it was Parker Posey and not Elizabeth Banks.
  6. I preface this with I have never played the game But I find it interesting that they’ve made clear that Ellie never knew her parents She was born, what; 5 or 6 years into the apocalypse? Might she be some kid of test tube baby experiment to defeat the infection? I think I’d find that quite stupid but they have also avoided her real origin story. Hopefully it’s not as deux ex machina as that One thing The Walking Dead did get right is totally avoiding the “why” part Hopefully this show does the same
  7. I am not close enough to Hollywood to fully have grokked it in real time, but apparently ep 8 was a hit job on Kathy Kennedy, who fired Rian off the Star Wars stuff.

    I thought Stuver could have done better on goal 3 but he was probably gobsmacked that Kip let the dude get by. So long as Kip is on Austin FC II (or just not on field) I’ll shrug this off a bit as a fluke. The howler alone is a long term benching. Follow that with the third goal mistake and that’s a demotion. Zardes showed us in game one what he is and I hope to see more Urruti, as he gets how to play with Driussi and Fagundez. I wonder if we will miss Moose. I like Zardes coming in late in games in summer to run at tired defenders, though. Was less concerned with Rigoni as others. He had one instance when he dribbled down the 18 yard line in first half that was super annoying because he had 3 chances to fire one with his left foot. But I’ll give it time. Seems weird to me that Driussi is captain as well and wonder if that was part of his deal. And what does Ring think about it? Speaking of Ring, as much as I like him, wasting a DP slot on him was a mistake. Lots of guys on roster I am not familiar with. Hope to see some of them next week.

    Super psyched for tonight. My season ticket liaison hooked us up to have my kiddo be a player escort for national anthem. First game in season ticket seats. Hope for some fun neighbors. Listos!
  10. I think there is a possibility Top Gun wins best picture. Just a feeling give ranked voting. Everything is awesome and my choice. But old people don’t get it. Banshees is also awesome but I don’t feel it getting best picture. Tar is an amazing performance buried in a pretentious film. I really like Triangle of Sadness but it’s not winning. Alls Quiet won by being nominated. Avatar gets it on III if it is solid like Lord of the Rings.

    Right. He’s the dude Jake warned his wife about - the guy that charms you. But fat T-1000 jumped the gun and hired him before she could object. And lo and behold he’s a spy.
  12. I was watching The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent on plane this morning. Haven't finished it yet, but he is quite funny in this and stands up to Nic Cage in the self-aware overacting category. It has been funny thus far, but I think I am predicting the ending and will have disappoint.

    Didn’t want to out myself, but yeah… I presume there is a dude or two from the twenties (1920s) that Spencer is loosely based on given he is quasi-famous in the world of this show. Anyone have thoughts on that?
  14. Loved this show. You could see the Peaky Blinders genes but felt very different which was good. Based on my reading up on the history, outside the French spy it seems extremely historically accurate for something like this.
  15. I like Shrinking. Ted Lasso, Scrubs and Cougar Town don’t have realistic dialogue/characters either but they are all fun. It’s like people forgot who created this show The dude that plays Sean is great. Agree Christa Miller is giving off Jason Stoltz Mask vibes…. Or maybe Richard Kiel? I dunno. She looks weird.

    I don’t watch Yellowstone. If I did would the Indian School/runaway/priest plot line make sense? I presume it ties into larger plot at some point. Getting Danni stuck in Essos vibes with Spencer and Alex.
  17. There were tunnels built out and overdeveloped or something like that. They had a one liner about it. The thing I heard on a podcast that I chuckled at was if Joel knew KC Fedra was brutal even by Fedra standards, why did he route through KC? Who cares though. Great episode.
  18. That is where my head is at. I just am unclear how this usually goes if we want to make contractor do it again. Don’t want to say too much else at this point because the GC, due to our inexperience/naïveté was foisted on us by designer, and designer probably known by someone here. Designer selected three railing styles, we picked one, GC managed installation. But the only reason we bother with the code argument is extra ammo if we make them redo all the stairs because of the paint issue. I don’t really want to rip everything out because I am super fatigued by the whole remodel. But I also paid a lot for them to do it right This has been a helpful “crowdsourcing” exercise. Thanks, all.
  19. hmmmm…… Permits weren’t pulled. But other issue is that they painted those railings without properly protecting hardwood (which you see is really light) and we have lots of black paint that has stained the stairs. Basically the really light colored wood shows black paint in the grain on several steps now and around where the railings are in the steps. The sub that did the stairs told us unsolicited they wanted to use it for examples of their work but can’t because railing team fucked it all up. So that’s on GC for not protecting the stairs, right?. They are trying to sand/clean it out but it’s not coming out so we think they need to redo everything. The railings not being to code is just further ammo. Curious why it is not GC’s fault for installing it not to code? We are dumb. How are we supposed to know that? All that said, I am fatigued and can give or take most of this. Shit works just fine, and I am not as bothered. But other half is incensed by both issues.
  20. For the contractors/inspectors out there do these stair rails violate Austin code? It’s more than 7” on top and bottom. Within the 4” code in the middle Designer sold us on these and we really like them but we’ve had two subs warn us now that they don’t think they are to code. We have another issue that might have us forcing them to rip them out and do it again. But this would give us more ammo.
  21. Tàr. Blanchett is brilliant but I don’t really get it.
  22. The take the sniper out then become the sniper scene reminded me of GTA. Imagine that is probably straight out of the game, no?
  23. Wasn’t Sonny Vaccaro kind of a piece of shit? Maybe I am remembering wrong. Not sure he needs a Rudy-ification.
  24. Good for her and fuck the haters. She is awesome in Yellowjackets. Heavenly Creatures FTMFW
