  1. Live in Houston where half block are new homes and half 1950s originals. We all lost power for 36 hours. At 37th hour, almost simultaneously, my two neighbors in older homes had attic pipes burst. A slew of us lucky ones spent a couple hours helping them clean up the mess. Luckily, it was not whole house but they each lost a large rectangular portion of their ceiling and items under said ceiling. Now, they are looking for places to live for a few weeks.
  2. Sorry for dumb question but....do you find out oil switch is bad at regular tuneup or when you need it and it won't start? I'd imagine reliability is key spec on these things And how old is yours? Thanks
  3. Bump. Anyone have new thoughts on this? I wouldn't mind buying one if it's a selling point for future home sale etc. If not, diesel generator works too.
  4. Doesn't CDC know it may rain on April 24th? Horrible choice and he should know better.
  5. Is it a bad time to admit how much I used to love the County Line wheat bread with honey butter?
  6. Turned down MIT for UT. F the cold. Do not ragret.
  7. Want covid and salt? Cuz I'm here to make sure you have to touch every single square inch of this salt shaker with two hands.
  8. What pisses me off more than this? Why do I have to hit an extra button to tell automated gas stations that I don't want a receipt? Shouldnt default be to no and the weird people that say yes should go through more steps? It's 2021...make paper pushers press extra buttons somehow, not regular people.
  9. How dare you. He sings the eyes of texas, man.
  10. Glad you brought this up. I used to live in NYC and hated this about some restaurants and bars....line outside, you wait a couple minutes, then they let you into a bar that was half full, like if there was social distancing in early 2000s. They made you wait juuuust long enough for someone else to come in line and replace you to create false perception of demand. Rinse and repeat. Anyways, I feel bbq places have the anti-chicfila culture as well and drives me nuts.
  11. I'm a dude so I think pics are the last thing you ever want from me. NTTAWWT
  12. Speaking of popped...I just popped my stonk cherry. Let's hope its so good I keep riding and not such a horrible experience I turn lesbian.
  13. One of my favorite plates ever is/was the goat dumplings at Underbelly. For Christmas, I got Cook Like A Local, Chris shepherd's book. Tried out the recipe he published.....on point. I was very pleasantly surprised. Required me going to hole in the wall store for fresh Korean Rice Cakes and shit was still worth it.
  14. We consistently entertain a bunch of families and breakfast is 10x easier for us. No pots or pans. Dozen pancakes, lots of bacon, and 8 eggs while enjoying the outdoors (or at least the screened in patio). Been wanting to do crepes though.
  15. Thanks yall. Just logged on and my BTC and ETH I bought a few years ago are in the portfolio. However, I hit the "vault" section and that is empty and asking .e if I want to vault the assets. @GRHorn @Nice Guy EddieWould yall recommend I follow that coinbase trail and pursue the vault? Or is there a better, preferred method? Side story: To understand my dumb thought process...every 1 or 2 years, I put a little bit of money in financially risky shit that is super volatile. And I give it a minimum of 7 years. So thankfully, I read a very little about BTC and ETH in 2017 and said, "I'm in and I won't touch it until 2025." I've been telling people it will be at $0 or it will be at $100,000, who knows. IT took every bit of me in 2018 to not sell at 15k per BTC, or sell just one and play with house money. I learned this sorta duration lesson when I analyzed Netflix after all these LA people (where I lived at time) were constantly harping how it was going to change the entertainment business. I got in very soon after IPO and I tripled my money in a month and sold. Proud of my $15,000 profit! And now, that 15k profit makes me mad just thinking about how different my life would be if I had told myself I ain't selling for a decade no matter what. I'm 3 for 4 at the moment with this strategy but again, all 4 could go to zero since its all based on luck and timing. I've done crypto, biomedicine, cybersecurity, and pot. Pot is the only one I'm losing on so far.
  16. Beyond noob question that I'm even embarrassed to ask....I have a few BTC. Bought them on coinbase. How do I know if they are in the coinbase wallet or if I have them somewhere else? I wrote down my long ass code. And of course, I'm sure you fine strangers are willing to help and are trustworthy so I'll just PM you my code and username later so that you can investigate for me. But first, maybe a broad layman explanation would be a nice first step.
  17. Heresy but I also think Sam was horrific at using audibles. I know he was great interview so not allowed to criticize but damn did he run our RBs into stacked lines. Maybe he wasn't allowed to audible so I should be more forgiving.
  18. Camping or hotels? We are considering this or Yellowstone in June. Have a 5 and 11 year old so long hikes out of question so let me know if you or @Anton Chigurh have any advice given those anchors, I mean, lovely kid situation. We have free, amazing place to stay in park city so could always stay there as a base camp of sorts but I'd love to see some parks.
  19. I simultaneously applaud his love for the Longhorns and am looking forward to the program starting a new QB. Good luck Sam.
  20. Herman lost me when he hugged Mack Brown at his press conference. Sark could have taken a shot and I would have felt better than after that fake, false hug. That hug transferred Mack's inner turtle to Herman. Sit Bijan and make sure Sam gets all the carries because Sam says the right things in front of a microphone.
  21. Starting plans for a treeless treehouse for kids and teenagers. 10'x10' and maybe 6-8 feet high so nothing immense but it's sorta in middle of a ravine that is tricky to haul stuff into so looking to minimize work. My question for the woodworking geniuses...can I get away with 4"x6" posts on each corner or do I have to do 6x6 posts for structural integrity? The 6x6 posts I'm looking at weigh 140 lbs and seeing if 4x6 will still do job while weighing less.
  22. Lateish to the party. This show is legit

    ATVs

    ATV roll call. Thinking of buying one for our little 7 acre ranch and for when we go to beach. Good idea? Bad idea? Is 7 acres even big enough to have an atv? My family and I are definitely not racers nor daredevils (just two daughters, not boys) so if we go forward with this, it would be a basic type like a Honda Recon 250cc. Appreciate any insights or advice to stay the f away.
  24. I am a sucker for a good bowl of red beans n rice with sausage/cheese/onions and cornbread. So that 3x and once got a chicken fried chicken. Cfc was good, not great. I'm trying to get a stuffed pork chop at some point but can't time it right. Ftr, I used to be more regular at ragin Cajun but with this TB much more convenient, hard for me to cross 610 galleria for something similarish. Although must admit, RC cornbread > TB cornbread.
  25. Been to this new treebeards 3 or 4x now. So happy with this new option in the hood. I went last week and texadelphia wasn't open though.
