    The number of shitty humans who have moved to Tx in the last 24 mos is going to become clear in November.Ā 

    Driving through West University the other day I saw a yard sign that said ā€œVote Republican All The Way Down The Ticket - Remember Why You Moved To Texas.ā€ Pissed me off.

    I'd be happy to see Allred win and donated significantly to support his candidacy. If (when) he loses, Tx dems will be left wondering if candidate and tactical quality were optimized this cycle.

    Since you apparently have an affinity for lighting money on fire, can I send you my Venmo?

    Literally fuck yourself. I wasn't fucking anyone out of anything. I don't care about a lot of shit, accusing me or this site of fucking anyone out of anything or any type of fraud is completely off limits honestly if you keep it up you are fucking gone. I'm not gonna deal with pieces of shit like you disrespecting me after all the work I've done for free and at a massive loss for this community, this fanbase and this program.Ā 

    You keep it up and you are not only banned from all events but you will be removed from the community.Ā 

    My dude, I was giving you a hard time on what turned out to be a really bad hot take that you made. Calm down. Your tailgate is going to be awesome. I was just giving you shit because anyone who follows the ticket markets closely knows how they work. I wasn’t accusing you of fraud or anything nefarious. I apologize if you took it that way. Thought we could all act like assholes here.

    Wow, they have cut a shit ton from Austin over the last year, 27 nonstop routes since last November.Ā  Appears they are giving up on it.

    They’re still the second largest carrier behind WN, although DL is starting to catch-up. Most of that flying was being done on high CASM regionals and the yields were junk. It’s hard to build up a focus city when you simultaneously have one of the world’s biggest hubs 180 miles to the north.

    Looks like American has stopped flying direct to Vegas from Austin.Ā  We had to use some expiring credits from Alaskan so we booked an American flight for a trip in November.Ā  Flight got cancelled and we weren't automatically rebooked.Ā  I started playing around on google flights and there are no longer any direct flights to Vegas for American.Ā 

    Ā 

    Yep, they’re cutting LAS and MSY on November 1. LAS is a pretty crowded field with WN, DL, F9 and NK all flying the route. I imagine yields are trash.

    I have a friend who commutes 70 or 75 miles one way, 140-150 miles a day. Most of that is on highway with speed limits of 70 or 75. Takes him over an hour one way. He's not really saving anything in taxes, its more about the quality of life where he lives vs where he would be living if he lived near his work place.Ā 

    Ā 

    Is time not a factor in quality of life? That’s a lot time sitting behind the wheel of a car that could be spent doing other things.

    Quick people on the right, let's spin up all the other reasons this kid killed 4 people at school other than because he had access to a firearm. We have to protect the firearms at all costs. And go. Mental illness, yeah that's a good one. We don't know his mental state but it's the easiest and most complex problem to use that has no real fix but it's a good way to deflect. Violent video games, music, and television, yeah that's a good one. Lack of religion in schools, another great one because God has never caused people to do terrible things to other humans. Breakdown of the family unit, well we don't know what his family life was like but fuck it, it's better than blaming guns.

    Unlocked doors. You missed that one.

    We should post billboards of the hundreds of text exchanges like that (probably thousands by now, actually) all over the highways at every NRA convention, and next to every GQP congressman's office.Ā 

    Not that it would do a damned bit of good.Ā  You could gun down a GQP gun nut's kid in front of them, and it would just be God's will and a price they willingly pay for....whatever the fuck this is that they think is so great.

    It would be a lot less work and just as effective to just light that money on fire.

    What would a veterinarian miles away from the shooting know that the general public doesn’t.

    Dogs in the general vicinity are on heightened alert for being shot with the increased police presence near the school. Vets are on alert to take care of the wounded.

    Went to Pizzana on Knox tonight with my wife and one of her good friends. Been wanting to go for awhile. Had no idea it was related to Sprinkles cupcakes. It’s the same owner. Oh well, the pizza is pretty fantastic. The salad my wife and I split was great too.

    If it wasn’t the shaved Brussels sprouts salad that you got, put it on the list for next time. It’s fantastic.

    She’s probably complaining about me being the backseat kitchen driver on the ā€œhusbands and stupid shitā€ thread over on the kate spade forum or whatever.

    but this is driving me bonkers and I’m calling my shot. Our electric stove is hot as shit - the middle = hot. But for her, medium heat = as medium as you can position the knob. Cranked is only good for boiling water ASAP. She’s making borscht and just left it like this, it is boiling in there. I’m about to go pick up the baby. Im about 50/50 that I get a text about figuring something different out for dinner.

    I assume you’re hoping for other plans for dinner?

    I definitely want to do that. So it’s best between thanksgiving and Xmas versus early November?

    They put up the Christmas decorations and open the Christmas markets later in November. It adds a bunch to the hygge vibe so I would suggest waiting until later in November. Speaking of hygge, we stayed at the Hotel Sanders and the hygge vibes were on point.Ā

    I imagine just a pre-Xmas visit to both of those cities would be damned nice.Ā  Neither gets brutally cold in the winter, just appropriately wintery.Ā  We've had a light snow in Copenhagen, and it actually made the walk home from dinner fucking amazing.Ā  But don't forego some of the outdoor stuff to see -- like I said, it doesn't get brutally cold.Ā  AND, there are often multiple different Xmas markets in each city (in Copenhagen, there's a small one along Nyhavn and Kongens Nytorv.Ā  Apparently, the one at Tivoli Gardens is great too, but we haven't been to that one (we've been to Tivoli -- it's an old-school amusement park, and actually pretty fun).Ā  A warm meal or more than one at Torvehallern food hall is a great respite (there's an outpost of Grod, a porridge restaurant -- yeah, trust me -- that is one of my wife's and daughter's favorite places on earth).

    Shit, getting jealous now.

    We went to Tivoli Gardens at night in between Thanksgiving and Christmas this past year. Not to be missed. So cool to see it all decorated for Christmas. It was one of the highlights of the trip.

    That’s not relevant nor is it advisable to attempt to make your employees reside where they work. I’m not a cop, but I am an employee of a municipality. I live 57 miles away from the city I work for, in a 7 year old home on 54 acres. I paid $1600+ less in property taxes than my coworker that lives in the city we work for. He lives on a 0.3 acre lot and his home is appraised for less than mine. Now tell me why I should be living where I work

    Off the top of my head, your coworker doesn’t have a 114 mile commute.
