  1. In 8/2017, we lost it all in Harvey. I have beat on my wife that the personal property insurance money we have been holding for this day is also for the kids' lost shit. And, with her sort of buy in, I then promised my son (about to turn 15) that his day would come. Well, we are here - moving from rental squalor back to our own home within the next few weeks. So, it is time to get my son a real gaming computer.... I will buy this, not build it myself. But, I am OK with a custom build and am not limiting myself to some preconfigured Dell, etc.. What are appropriate specs? I am not looking for minimum specs. I want him to be blown away by his upgrade, and for it to get him through high school without need for significant upgrades. But, I'm also not springing for the latest $1K + graphics card. Thanks.

    They do a nice job at a much better price during Houston Restaurant Week.
  5. 4 outs; 3rd pitcher. I like this math.
  6. I can't say I'm disappointed, because that would have required higher expectations.
  7. Just renewed at $5.99 ($7.77) for 12 months with no fuss at all.

    Had a terrific dinner last night at Amore. Chef/owner was at Da Marco for 20 years. $35 corkage.
  11. Day trip from Venice that you might pair with a winery - Ravenna.
  12. I love mayo, but would rather choke down a dry sandwich than consume the tiniest amount of the abomination that is falsely named miracle whip. But, if Quinn Ewers likes miracle whip, I will allow it.
  13. Residential, with 2 200 amp panels. SW Houston.
  14. Our construction project has about 115 recessed light cans. The builder is about ready to buy and install LED retrofit trim kits. Our job specs call for Halo, with which we were very happy in the old house. The builder is pushing Nora, because it is what his supplier pushes. The specs are comparable, other than lumens - Halo is 940; Nora is 1100. Agreeing to Nora will save about $750. But, I've never heard of Nora, for which the few reviews I can find are pretty mixed. Does anyone have experience with Nora LED trim kits? If it matters, the specific models in question are Halo RL56099S1EWHR and Nora NOXTW-5632WW.

  16. Lamb chops (Costco), mac & cheese, and eggplant parm, washed down with pinot noir.
  17. The voice of UT football for me. The best!
  18. Take the loss, pussy!
  19. We are building an elevated house (6') and are trying to plan for the possible future need for a wheelchair lift. We have sufficient space (per several lift dealers) to add a lift next to the garage stairs. But the illustration in the plans does not look like the stair landing would be sufficient for someone to actually get in and out of the house in a wheelchair without tumbling down the stairs. Anyone have a sense of how far the landing should extend beyond the door before reaching the first stair riser, so that a person in a wheelchair could get to and from the lift, and in and out of the house, without doing a Monty Python down the stairs?
  20. This is correct. But, his last name is still just Bennett.

    I was going to come post about this guy, a longtime tenant at the OG. Glad to hear he has survived redevelopment.
