  1. The public shouldn’t pay for this type of behavior. All damages and legal fees should come out of the police officers’ pension funds.
  2. Curious why you don’t do PT. I’ve had back issues, although no herniated disc thankfully, and stretching and some other exercises keep things in check.
  3. Airmattresses are a lot cheaper. Use the money and space you save on more guitar shit.
  4. And if you’re gonna do something like that, own it. Don’t give a fake horns up and then throw em down for half a second.
  5. I'll match your imperfect memories of the time and raise you that we could both be right. It was a Conan's though at least 97 when I was living in Taos coop. What those new to Austin don't get is that the biggest change in Austin is the people it's attracting. It used to be a bunch of college students and slackers who moved here because it was a cheap and easy place to live a good life. Now it's 'cool' people who are moving here to do 'cool' stuff. A lot of those folks make a shit ton of money, too. I'm not dogging on them, because Austin's been a great place to grow up with.
  6. If you’re gonna talk 90s Austin smack, which I fully support, you should know that what is now Kerbey Lane on the drag was a Conan’s in the 90s.
  7. We miss the Austin of our youth because we miss our youth. But it doesn’t hurt that the Austin of our youth was smaller, cheaper and had less traffic. But, yeah, Austin Stories. My then girlfriend’s roommate was on the show. It was pretty bad, but it’s a nice time capsule of the last days of old Austin.
  8. You might also want to alert the coaches.
  9. Jokes are supposed to be funny.
  10. This is a tough one. He had the most sincere voice in rock and roll. Lucky to have seen him a few times during his renaissance. He still put on a great show. I know what I’ll be listening to all weekend. Thanks for giving us all you had, Roky.

  12. Unfortunately that didn’t pass. The language allowing 10 am sales was amended onto the TABC sunset bill on the House floor. It was removed by the Senate and didn’t make it into the conference committee report.
  13. The beer to go bill never made it out of committee. It was amended onto the TABC sunset bill on the floor of the House. The Senate then lowered the amount one can buy from 2 cases to 1 case. What passed today was the conference committee report that reconciled the differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill.

    Anyone have any experience with record cleaning machines? Amazon has an ultrasonic cleaner, for under $700, that can clean 5 records at a time. A lot of other ultrasonic cleaners go for over $4000.
  15. I agree with you and would have done the same thing. But when a group of folks show up in the middle of the night to a house looking to fight the homeowner's son and vandalize his house, getting shot and killed is a real possibility.
  16. Again, why should he be responsible for guessing their intent? Did he know they only had paintball guns and that the would be combatants would follow the Marquess of Queensberry Rules. I fully admit that I don’t know all the facts and my stance is informed by the initial article. It sounds like the father has been detained, and it’s a different situation shooting at a fleeing vehicle.
  17. Why is it the Dad’s responsibility to guess the mob’s intent?
  18. Whatever instrument you choose, I’d suggest taking a few months of lessons to build a solid foundation. Learning the basic chords, the major scale and how the notes relate to each other within the major scale will make it so much easier and faster to develop and will ultimately make you a better player. Playing scales and all the basic stuff is admittedly boring but it’s good to get it out of the way when you’re a beginner.
  19. This shit fucking sucks. I've resigned myself to hoping that CDC has done a thorough evaluation of the program and has come to the conclusion that Shaka is the best person to lead team. It's a thin thread of hope, but it's all I got.
  20. Why not both? Making a lot of money doesn’t mean you have a lot of money. I’d guess he makes a solid low to mid six figure income but hasn’t accumulated any real wealth cause he blows his money on stupid shit...like a lot of other folks. Or not. Maybe he’s a cheap fat fuck who’s lives his best life in a sea of strip malls and all you can eat buffets and has saved 50% of his post tax earnings for the past 15 years.
  21. El Paso. Can’t remember her name but she’s no longer in the Legislature.
  22. Not trying to trivialize the death, but does anyone really think people wouldn’t die at an ATV amusement park? People die on ATVs; of course there’s gonna be fatalities at an ATV amusement park.
  23. Good for you. I’ll echo my previous advice from last year’s thread. Will power is a muscle, so don’t overwhelm yourself by taking on too much at once. Tackle one or two new habits at a time and build from there. Maybe start walking a few days a week and cutting back on soft drinks. etc etc.

    Nirvana

    Yeah that scene had been bubbling for years, but Nirvana opened the floodgates. Alice in Chains, didn't kick that door down, Soundgarden didn't kick it down. Jane's Addiction didn't. The Pixies didn't. Of course, the reason Nirvana had the cultural impact they did is there were a ton of great bands right there with them; it was never just Nirvana. Like you said, pop culture was primed for a change. Nirvana was the spark, and all those other bands brought a hell of a lot of fuel to the explosion that followed. How old are you? I was 16 when teen spirit caught fire in the fall of 91. So my perspective is as a high schooler in the Houston suburbs. Interested to see how your age and place informs your perspective.

    Nirvana

    Class of 93 here. That's the thing about Nirvana, regardless of what you think about their music, they immediately and throughly killed an entire subgenre of rock and ushered in a completely new sound and look for kids. They weren't the first Seattle band I heard, Alice and Chains was getting airplay during the summer of 91 and I first saw Soundgarden when the opened for GnR, but no other band from that era can match their impact on mainstream pop culture.
