  1. Do you really think it would mean that? Is there a cause and effect relationship here that only you can see but are unable to explain to anyone? Nobody here is accusing you of being an idiot because of what you would or would not trade in some alternate imaginary world. We think you’re an idiot because you keep insisting that two unrelated things are in fact dependent on each other. Your argument is akin to Cliff Clavin’s final answer on Jeopardy, only less witty.
  2. If Wulaw’s rig could talk…
  3. Lot's of us do. It's primarily known as a nice place to take a shit on road trips. Doesn't mean I'd brag about getting one on the Drag, but it does mean it fits right in at college station.
  4. Every scene with any dialogue with a person in a military uniform was completely fucking stupid and cringy. Loved every second of it though. Will see it again with my other kid soon. And JC… fuuuuuck. What else is there to say about her?
  5. Shit is rigged for the meatheads. Needs mile time and dead hang pull-ups amendment.
  6. You may have already talked about it upthread but what’s your pilot situation on that? Got some young guy building time? Older retired guy? Airlines are snapping up anyone with a pulse, can’t be easy to find someone right now I’d think. Or did I miss it and you fly it?
  7. What’s the worst that could happen with a bunch of drunk tourists having a quick release from the only thing keeping them aloft?
  8. Doesn’t look very fun anyway.
  9. I never park at the city parking lot, but Park n Zoom does valet. I’ve tried every one of the third-party parking lots and park n zoom is consistently the best service and fastest.
  10. I was going to Hruska's. My first thought too. Hruskas. Place is cringy as hell but has good food.
  11. I know nothing about the current state of the lines these days, but can the parents get the 30 day free trial on CLEAR? That still around?
  12. What if I make a guitar from it?
  13. I bought half a chord of firewood.
  14. I'm holding off on a new truck until they come out with the new Tacoma design, in 2024 most likely. But I was reading up on the Pro vs OR recently and it didn't sound like there were enough upgrades to justify $10k. It's mostly suspension upgrades on a system that was already very capable. You could likely upgrade an OR version to similar specs with after-market stuff for way less. Plus, I want a long bed and they don't offer that in the Pro.
  15. That's pretty much the newer version of the one I bought 16 years ago. 260,000 and still going. The kid who was an infant when I bought it is roaming around town and probably getting into some mischief in it as we speak.
  16. That is fucking outstanding! "There are lots of newhires your age." Old colonels look at me like I'm nuts when I'm giving away trips and living on 80 a month at max days off while they work 5-6 days week hustling for 160+ to pay for the ex-wives. Note to young pilots: Get married in a no-alimony state. I hope you guys get the fucking moon. I know we won't beat it but everybody is watching this and seeing where the bar gets set. Delta up next.
  17. They'd have pushed back 10 early if it was the Chiefs owner.
  18. Thank you both. Gives me a little confirmation in the direction I was already leaning. My concern about TFP is that I’m usually out of town three days a week with nobody else home during those three days. It sounds like once I get to know my pool pretty well I can anticipate it’s needs for those three days, but I certainly could never be the guy that’s adding a little liquid chlorine on a daily basis consistently. Apparently there’s also a liquid chlorine dispenser I could look into. Or a SWG I guess. I originally avoided that to stay within my budget and I hate to dump a bunch of money on new equipment this soon.
  19. Well.. I mean... other than the fact that one is a perennial champion while the other has been barely above .500 for the last decade and is currently one game separated from a 6-game losing streak. Other than that it's really just the Bama d-line. And the only different between Angie Verona and Kathy Bates is that Angie makes a better sandwich.
  20. What's your favorite testing kit? Maybe one with money being no object and one that's the best bang for the buck. I went to shock the pool today and the instructions were dealing with things I don't think my basic little kit even measures. Also your best resource for coming up with a system, a preferred method to keep it all clean and balanced. No really interested in YOUR method, just where you went to learn about it. Pool School at start-up has got me this this far with a basic testing kit and some muriatic acid and chlorine tabs far but the more I read about it the more I find alternate methods, opinions, and other things to consider that I haven't even learned about yet. How often to shock, which products to shock with, etc.. CYA (wtf is that?), free chlorine vs residual vs total, etc, alkalinity increasers... I hear a lot about TFP, but they have their detractors too apparently. Where should a newbie go to un-muddy the waters, so to speak.
  21. There are so many moving parts that dictate when a flight gets held and when it doesn’t. Typically it’s about the total number of people who will be screwed down the line. If holding a flight is going to cause 20 other people to miss a connection then they aren’t going to hold it for less than that many passengers. They’ll also look at connections 3-4 flights down the line in that same airplane including the next morning. Holding it for one group can screw over lots of others. Morning flights are less likely to be held than evening flights because you’re affecting 10 other flights later that day if you do. The days of “we’ll make It up in the air with shortcuts” are over. Every flight is already flying as fast as possible. If the crew is close to timing out they won’t hold it no matter what. If there’s weather moving in at either airport or anywhere in between they might hold or not hold to hit a window of better weather. if the airplane is due for maintenance at the end of the night and that procedure is known to take X number of hours and a late start would delay the first flight the next day… yada yada yada. It’s almost never about a single family’s situation.
  22. Standard tile method, not necessarily for pool tile, is to shift tiles over about half a tile length in either direction so as have close to equal size cut tiles on either side of a room and to avoid any narrow slivers of tile up against either wall. Whole tile on one side of a room and slivers of tile on the other looks weird. Unsquare walls are also way more noticeable with narrow slivers of tile up one side than with wider but equal cuts of tile on both sides of the room. I wouldn't think this would be an issue at a pool though since there's no reason a new pool shouldn't be 100% square to the house.
  23. On every portable classroom? At every classroom door on every campus that has outdoor common areas and classroom doors on the outside? My kids' elementary school had 20+ doors on it's exterior when you count the portable classrooms, that's just ones I can remember off the top of my head. Pretty typical campus. I was at a track meet recently at a school with every classroom facing an outdoor common area. Easily 100+ doors there. So now the state that can't put a resource cop at every campus is now going to put a couple dozen at every campus along with all that equipment? When that trillion dollar bond comes across the ballot to pay for all this, when the country has predictably forgotten about this shooting and moved on like we always do, what are the chances people vote for that kind of tax increase? You're living in a fantasy world if you think that is practical or even at all feasible.
  24. Hopefully your builder is more like Herbie's and Fatty's and less like the rest of ours or you'll be opening that pool in January.
  25. Not really logic, I just think the crazy ebbs and flows and somewhere in its waning stage she realizes how back she fucked up.
