  1. All chaps are assless, by definition.
  2. I took the results of one of those full panels from Quest to my doctor one year and he said 3/4 of it was irrevelant crap that he never would have ordered and that you can't really glean any real data about your health from. The lab at his office is a little more expensive per test, but factoring in the fewer number of tests my doctor actually cared about made it significantly cheaper to just stay in-house.
  3. 6th St. became shitty and dangerous when you were about 27 years old, regardless of what year that was. It's the same rule of Austin being "not what it used to be", which always happens when you turn 35 whether that was in the 1970's or the 2020's or anytime in between.
  4. Switzerland: Interlaken and Grendelwald area. Took my kids there a few years ago and loved it so much more than every big European city I’ve been to.
  5. I’d give my left arm if people would quit doing that.
  6. I’ve been in a couple of airports whose city governments still require masks after the federal mandate ended and those local orders have been completely ignored by almost everyone, with hardly a mention that I’ve seen. Philly, LAX, and the two NYC airports claim to require them. I’d have one with you if you pass through there, but don’t expect much push back if you don’t wear it.
  7. ^ The grin in your avatar completes it.
  8. I’m sure they’ve known she was in Costa Rica longer than the media has. No sense in letting her know she needs to go somewhere else.
  9. Yes, very Pride-centric. We loved dinner there. Got any recs for any kind of ethnic food in the same neighborhood? We were thinking about the Afghan place across the street. Indian, Ethiopian, etc.. also good.
  10. Just got here today. My teenage kid and I had dinner at this empanada place in Hells Kitchen and he was dying at the cocktail menu. I thought he was laughing at Thunder Fuck but that’s because I didn’t know what a W.A.P. is. And yes I think it’s all open.
  11. It was all I needed.
  12. This should be SOP for all. There is never a need to be on the lower level after noon.
  13. There’s so much koolaid induced spouting of wishful bullshit on here I often don’t know what’s tongue-in-cheek and what’s not.
  14. Best quarterback back in the country must have some game highlights from last year you could share with us.
  15. Cheer families are worse than cruise families. You couldn’t pay me to be around that many of them. Also… not a sport.
  16. I know you didn’t write that, but statements like this are ridiculous. Love me some VY and he was the heart of that team, but there were 24 players on that team that would play in the NFL. Twenty fucking four. We had backups in that game that would play on Sundays. Stacked top to bottom on both sides.
  17. We’ll… yeah. But we’d all bang 10 out of 12 at Steiner Ranch and so would you.
  18. Does anyone here fly GA around Austin? I'm looking to get checked out in something to take the kids up in. I recognize a few schools' names but I haven't flown around here since 2003 so I don't know who still has a good reputation and who to avoid. AUS would be preferred, but GTU and HYI would be ok too. Looking for someplace professional with a solid reputation for keeping up on maintenance, etc.. The kind of place you'd send your kids to.
  19. Yeah, that's clearly what I said.
  20. ^ Tired response. AF makes great bbq but it’s not the only way. Pulling the membrane takes less than 30 seconds with a dry paper towel.
  21. Western mountain states > West coast > East coast > Midwest > Appalachia > Deep South
  22. Thanks! That helps confirm what I was thinking. Been using liquid chlorine and doing the TFP method. Have it all very much under control and within limits but the daily upkeep is something I won't be able to do much longer due to work travel.
  23. Who has some good real world insight on saltwater and limestone coping? Traveling 3 days a week is having me second-guess not getting a SWG when I had the pool built. I'd like to switch over to salt. I have limestone coping. I've read all the horror stories. My thoughts are that limestone is soft and porous and will chip anyway. My 3 month old limestone already has a few small chips with no saltwater contact. The pool builder basically says "Hell no. You just can't do it. You'll have a gravel pit in your backyard within months." The TFP guys generally say it's overblown and that limestone will chip anyway eventually and that the salt content isn't as much as most think and the effects can be negated with a good seal. As with most things, the truth is probably in the middle. I'm leaning towards sealing the limestone with a good penetrating sealer and going for it with a SWG. It's just the coping, not the whole deck. Who here has real experience with this? Barring a complete destruction of the stone, I think I'd rather deal with re-sealing and having a few chips than having to fuck with the pool chemistry on a daily basis. Hell, even re-doing the coping later on to something more durable would be a decent option to me.
