I meant on canyon. I do, but I don't do turns if I'm within 500 yards of another boat and come to a stop if I feel I'm going to cut off or get in the way of any boat.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
blacklab replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
And yes, Kenny, texdude2006, had a red wings avatar. Was out drinking with his girlfriend, went for a ride with someone who ended up driving his porsche panamera into a ditch and killed all three of them. My theory was the driver wanted to kill himself and figured if he killed the other two their families would sue leaving his wife with nothing. We kept getting linkedin updates to congratulate him on work anniversaries, which is how I found out linkedin has a whole department to deal with users dying. -

At least Walsh is now in a giant no wake zone so it shouldn't be as bad as it was years ago. Is there anyplace to gas up on the lake? Nothing is funnier to me than seeing some old dude at a multimillion dollar house on lake austin look like a monkey fucking a football trying to get a couple of big gas cans on wheels across his lawn and down to his boat dock.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
blacklab replied to Patricio Swayze's topic in Daily Texan
in street view if you look at the top left black box there is a link "see more dates". Click there and you can see previous versions of the street view. Your dog may be in one of the previous. My dogs at the old house are in a couple of them -
I usually refer to them as the cockroaches of the lake. A few weeks ago we were putting in early in the morning. Maybe 5 boats on the entire lake. 22 miles of open lake. Group of 5 jet skiers all doing donuts directly in front of the boat ramp.

Lake Austin was nuts today. Told my kids this is probably the last time we go out on a weekend this year. A big fuck you to: The guy on the electric hydrofoil that went through the swimming area at our lake park. You could have fucked up a kid pretty good. Only good thing was him running into the steel cable between the buoys and faceplanting on the way out. Boats who seem to think it's ok to be 20 feet behind the kids on the tube behind my boat. Ended up just coming to a complete stop three times today to get them to pass. An especially big fuck you to the one who was keeping up with me going 25mpg, passed me then slowed to 15 mph causing me to have to stop again. Jet skiers. All of them. But especially the ones going 20 mph through the no wake zone near the bridge leaving a 3 foot wave. I got pulled over Tuesday for going too fast through the zone, my boat was going 5 mph, just fast enough to maintain steerage. Cops today were about 20 yards away from them, didn't move.

no one should use databricks. Never dealt with a bigger bunch of assholes in my life.

Went down to Bullets last night to play big O. When I got there the big O table was full so I had to slum it up at hold em for an hour waiting for a seat. In the big blind look down to see TT. Middle position raises to 15, me and 3 others call. Flop QTT. I check and it checks around. Turn 3 I bet $20 and everyone folds. I contemplate showing my hand but say fuck it an muck it. About 20 minutes later I look up at a screen on the wall and realize they have a bonus for quads and I would have gotten $230 if I had shown my hand. DOH Few hands later it's a bomb pot and I get AAQQ. Top board is J73 and bottom QQT. Bingo. Lady to my left pots it and I'm the only caller. Turn 3 on top and bottom. Lady bets $50, I call. River A on top giving me top boat, she checks, I jam and she thinks for a few seconds and calls. Boom. Started with $200 and am now over $500. Get aces a few hands later, raise to 15 preflop, 4 callers. Flop is 642, I bet out $25, get one caller. Turn 7, I bet $50, get one caller. There's no way he has 53 or 85 can he? A set? He'd raise right? River 10 and I bet another 50. He hems and haws and complains the ten probably got him. Finally, he folds showing 96. Get called up to big O right after that hand. Table is juicy, with several bad players and go from $300 to $500 over the course of a few orbits. One of my arch nemeses is there and he's steaming as he's lost a few hands to the bad players. Get dealt AAK82 double suited. Raise $10 pre flop and get 5 callers. Flop is AdJd2s. I pot for $55, get check raised all in by guy to my right for $200 more. I announce fuck it and call. He shows J65d43d. Just need to avoid diamonds and 3-5. Next card out 4 of diamonds, river does not pair the board and I double him up. Looked at the odds and I was a 36-64% dog in equity after the flop. Need to learn to fold sets of aces. Few hands later I'm in the big blind with QQxxx, someone makes it $5 and 5 of us are in. Flop is 776, and it checks around. Bingo turn Q. Nemesis pots it and I call. River 10, he pots, I go all in, he instantly calls and I'm assuming quads with the way he called. I show the queens and he slam mucks his cards. Nothing sweeter than sending him further into tilt and taking $200 from him. Double up got me to $400 and get AdKs5d3c2s and raise preflop to $15 and get 6 callers. Flop is AsTc6s. I'm first to act and check, hoping someone raises so I can reraise and action goes check, pot, repot, fold and I repot and other guy folds and both potters call. 3 way all in. My nemesis shows AKT23 no spades, other guy doesn't show so I know I'm rooting for a spade, but am not sure if I'm rooting for a 2 or 3 to give me a better low. Turn is a 2, giving me second nut low, if non showing guy has 34 I'm fucked, river blank. Dickhead picks his hand up, looks at hand, looks at board, in my head I'm saying "FUCKING PUT YOUR HAND DOWN YOU SLOW ROLLING MOTHER FUCKER", and finally after about 15 seconds lays his hand down and it's AQT23. Boom. I get the low and they chop the high and I'm up over $600. Lose a little over the next hour and head home at midnight. Final tally hold em +$300, big O +$200. I think playing holdem just for the plo bomb pots would be a very lucrative venture after seeing how the players played. People calling with 2 pair on both boards when both have flushes and straits, calling with a pair of aces on one board, calling small straits and small flushes. Don't think I can handle the bordem of the hold em for the 9 hands between them though.

Finally got around to getting something 2011 E350 Bluetec with 190,000 miles. Replaced the turbo and fixed some oil leaks and it runs like a top. Mercedes boards say you should get 350-400k miles out of them as long as you fix the oil leaks and turbo, which at around 5k miles a year I should put on it will last me the rest of my life. Oldest boy has already asked that I leave it to him in the will. Previous owner claimed 38 MPG on the highway, we'll see if he's full of shit when I fill up in a couple of weeks. Wanted to get another E63 AMG but they are still stupid expensive.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
blacklab replied to Patricio Swayze's topic in Daily Texan
poor thing. I had a lab that had similar issues and we tried everything. We did do acupuncture for a while and it did seem to help. It was over 20 years ago so I can't be of any help as I tried to find her a few years ago and couldn't. Don't feel bad for trying. I'm rooting for your little guy. -

Loading times are similar to surface ships, there's nothing complicated about them. That would be the best time to hit them. If they have missiles that can only be launched from these subs they may as well use them. I'm sure we got some sonar arrays somewhere in the black sea. If they are nuke boats we can track them pretty easily, if they are diesel we can track them easily when they are running the diesel, not so much when they go to battery. In the mid 80's when we were fucking with Libya they sent out a couple of old old russian diesel subs towards a carrier. The subs that were nearby had orders to sink them if they switched to battery power.

According to some family members Peru is also tired of the Venezuelans coming in. First wave was people released from prisons there, resulting in increased crime. Probably not going to allow many more.

Had to be around 2010. For those who don't know I was driving by Zilker one day and saw Kaiser and LF68 playing frisbee golf. I pulled over to the side of the road and yelled "Get a job, hippies!". The guys they were playing with dropped their shit and started walking towards my car in an angry manner. I got in my car and took off.

Yeah, I'm figuring an average of 7% on stocks. Thanks for mentioning the health care, I did a quick budget and forgot all about that. I did half jokingly gave my boss a 4 year notice a few months ago. She knows I'm the only one that knows how a lot of things work and was a little freaked out and immediately said, "but you could do part time like 10 hours a week when we need you right?" and I said yes, if you keep me on the health plan, and she said that would not be a problem, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Went through 4 different simulators and all 4 said I was 100% likely to be successful. I'm probably in a different position than most. My wife and I are pretty low maintenance. If I take my kids out of my current expenses and get the house paid off I think we could live very comfortably on $50k a year. If we can do that I could just put all of my money in a savings account earning 4% and it would go up not down as we got older.
