  1. Man, that's the exact reason I hated curbside / delivery. We'd order fruit or vegetables, and they'd give us bruised up crap, or green bananas, or something completely wrong. Also, my biggest complaint is when they're out of an ingredient in a meal you're making, they aren't good enough to know how to pivot from that. You're making pot roast, e.g., and they're out of beef broth, but they still get you the roast, carrots, gigantic onion that's 3x the size that you need, and 3 carrots when you asked for baby carrots.
  2. Sounds like Jose Garza's no longer on your Christmas Card list?
  3. Man, my legs fall asleep around the 10-15 minute mark. Standing up to pull up my pants and get out of the stall is a fall risk at the 47 minute mark.
  4. Dry January hanging over into February is a big helper, I must admit!
  5. I love how after the youngest gets past this stage, all these memories are moved to cold storage and rarely given a second thought. That said, the oldest was the posterchild for Oxy Clean spray, and frankly perfected my skills on removing / replacing Baby Bjorn Bouncer covers. Youngest probably had 3 to 4 blowouts, which is mind bottling!
  6. Where's the consideration for the handicap driver?! How's he supposed to fit in with that park job?
  7. This only works if they hire a full time massage therapist for him:
  8. Have you tried TEMU?
  9. I mean, you went through all that effort that's going to force someone else to revert said changes in a few weeks time. You could have just left it alone and all would be well in due time.
  10. That aggy goalie would agree.
  11. Have you ever seen those shoes that use velcro instead of shoe strings? Man, I did the same thing for the longest time, but during Covid I would be half-way through the list, and the wife would text me to go grab something on the second or third aisle I went down, and it's send me backwards, then repeat this over the next 5 minutes in a random order. I spent more time ordering the list than it was worth.
  12. Was Eileen the masseuse?
  13. Also applicable to South Austin's mom...
  14. If by "state" you mean "state of mediocrity", then you sir are correct.
  15. Pretty sure that's what the tell me about aggy thread has turned into, no?
  16. The French say HI.
  17. Man, thoughts and prayers for the Lake Travis folks. Some dumbass with Austin Water screws the pooch royally, and costs Lake Travis another foot or two of water. Maybe this would be a great time to drop Lake Austin for some much needed shoreline maintenance?
  18. Man, is there not a way to post the image then click on said image and have it pull up X? The videos are being embedded with no link to the original post which makes it pointless to embed videos altogether. I understand trying to boost performance, but the cost here is user experience.
  19. Seems to be something in UBlock that's killing the script that converts it... EDIT: To work with uBlock Origin on Chrome, add surlyhorns.com and www.surlyhorns.com to your trusted sites.
  20. https://surlyx.com/DropPopNet/status/1883300817807224872 does that work? how about https://surlyx.com/DropPopNet/status/1883300817807224872[/img]
  21. Agree to disagree. Blocking Newly Registered Domains is a great way to keep your kindergarten-level employees from getting phished. Most InfoSec issues I've had around here have newly registered domains involved. There's a reason a lot of firewall companies filter on this to begin with.
  22. We have a 2 story with 2 units. She gets cold and jacks up the downstairs heat, and the upstairs thermostat stays the same. The t-stat feels the warmth coming from downstairs, and doesn't kick on for a few hours, while all the rooms upstairs have the doors closed at night, and they drop like 5-10 degrees before the heat finally engages. Then the kids get up in the morning and she's wondering why they are shivering. Luckily, this winter, she's been the opposite of this: too warm downstairs (set at 69) so she'll drop it to 68 or so, then the upstairs turns into an oven. And getting up to shower in a 66 degree bathroom sucks majorly.
  23. Here's my .02: Reddit embeds are the HUGEST sucks, as they often take 15-30 seconds to load. Twitter is significantly less. But now that you've gone the SurlyX route, you're using a newly registered (1/25/2025 registration date) CDN as a hosting site. This causes many firewalls to block traffic, as all mine block 'newly registered domains' for security purposes.
  24. CSB: My second job out of college was working for a smaller city. I'd assist a lot during the periodic trial dates at city hall. Sitting in the back room waiting for the day's docket to commence, there was a back and forth between the judge and a defendant's attorney. The attorney left, and the judge started going off. Basically, he said you've gotta be a complete fucking moron to take a case to jury trial (in this instance, some prick ran a stop sign and was fighting it.) You just got a jury box full of the 6 idiots who couldn't get out of jury duty, and you're arguing over running a damned stop sign (not word for word, but dang close). And just as they're seating the jury for the trial, they came to an agreement and let the initial jury off the hook. Will always remember that when considering taking ANYTHING to court. /CSB I'd carry 'em if I didn't have so many different cap sizes. Just the two at the house have vastly different sizes. And the one-size-fits-all AmRad Turbo cap is 6x the cost of a regular cap.
