  1. His voice is creepy as fuck. He might be the devil based on that alone.
  2. Got you. I rarely look at who actually posted something and I thought it was your mention originally. I’ll adjust the meter.
  3. It does indeed blow Subway away. It’s a solid sandwich and I like it. But there are nearly 2000 locations across America and it started in.... wait for it.... Jersey. Are you sure you aren’t thinking of Schlotzkys?
  4. The Jersey Mike’s comment was a joke right? That’s a national chain found in airports everywhere. It’s not a bad sandwich at all but it’s still just some good airport food.
  5. Find a small town near a small ski mountain that doesn’t draw as many tourists. Nedlerland/Eldora area is where I’ve got my eyes on for when my kids leave the house.
  6. Even with kids I wouldn't catch myself at a fucking Disney park. There are lakes and oceans and mountains and rivers and so many great cities in this world with real life cool, fun, beautiful, adventurous shit going on in them, even appropriate for young kids. And you're going to pick a fucking theme park with it's crowds, and never-ending gift shops and shitty food over that? And Epcot?! WTF is that? When people describe to me what Epcot is all about it sounds one step shy of Total Recall fake vacations. Like let's go to Mexico without having to interact with any real Mexicans. I hear there are some cool technology exhibits there, but I've never heard of any that would knock my kids socks off anymore than the local science museums in every town.
  7. Drive to Buena Vista or Salida Colorado. Do a 2 day rafting trip. Camp another day or two at one of a shiton of nearby lakes and catch trout all day. Spend a night or two in a hotel in town and eat well. Seriously, my sister talked me into doing another shitty summer family trip to the beach earlier this summer. Newsflash… unless you’re in college the beach sucks. The day long drive to anywhere cooler is always worth it.
  8. The flight attendants not doing anything is precisely what allowed you to sit there anyway regardless of what the supposed seat savers had to say about it. I don’t like it either, but that’s their stance on it. People can claim seat is saved but it’s only truly saved if you go along with it. Open seating means truly open seating. If you respectfully ignore the seat saver and sit there anyway you won’t be removed from the seat. It’s often worth moving on for the sake of civility but you don’t have to. Every seat is available regardless of what a passenger says about it. I wish they’d just let the FAs announce that there’s no seat saving. Not sure why they don’t but it comes from way above the FA pay grade.
  9. There is no policy for or against saving seats. Anyone is allowed to say a seat is saved and anyone else is allowed to sit there anyway. A FA may ask if you are willing to change seats to accommodate a family but you are well within you’re rights to say nah.
  10. One bedroom in my old house was always hotter than the rest. Simply adding a return vent to that room was quick and easy and improved the circulation enough to make a significant improvement. The AC unit was plenty adequate, it just didn’t have the pressure differential to push air into that particular room without the return.
  11. I'm a part-time slam-clicker. The guy I hate is the guy who asks if I'm coming down for drinks tonight within the first 2 minutes of meeting at the start of the trip. I'm a 2 beers a night guy no matter what, so I'm definitely coming down to the bar... but it remains to be determined if those 2 beers will be with you at the hotel bar or by myself at the place next door. I can't have that figured out yet the moment we meet. Unless the FAs are hot, then I'm down with the group until their drama kicks in, which is conveniently usually right around the 2-beer mark for me.
  12. If you buy seats under the upper deck it'll be all olds who don't stand.
  13. Junior Mints are over-rated unless they're mixed with Mexican Vanilla at Amy's. My local Amy's has taken them off the crush-in menu so I doubt I'll ever eat another one. Whoppers are delicious until you get that random empty one which freaks me out a little.
  14. It’s true. Covid was a scam to keep us all indoors while they changed all the batteries.
  15. I’m on a vacation and refuse to look at work stuff until I get back to work, but I saw a text announcing it. He wasn’t one of the guys most people thought would be next in line. Not because of any knock on him, he’s just not one of the big names. Didn’t know he’s an aggy. All I know is he’s been here since ‘88 and being a long term insider was important to most. I’ve got things to bitch about Gary just like anyone else but even his harshest critics admit the guy knew how to make money and keep the profit sharing checks rolling. We just resumed contract negotiations and I’m sure it’ll drag on a few more years anyway, but it’ll be interesting to see how the new guy handles stepping right into that.
  16. Yeah I used to see Bosworth around Southwest Austin all the time, but mostly at Lifetime Fitness.
  17. I saw that. Insane. 27year old vehicle with only 1000 miles and a cult following is going to be a niche item but that’s ridiculous. Half that price would get a refurb just as nice and modernized. I love those old 80 series. I just read where the engineers designing the new 300 series LC were using the 80 as a benchmark for the off road metrics. There wasn’t much meat to the article but it’s cool to see them give a nod to the 80.
  18. i’m headed up there next week with my oldest son. But fuck eating lobsters right OFF the boat. That’s for for the commoners. We’re going out on a boat trip to pull them up from the traps and eat the lobsters right ON the boat.
  19. “Williamson's account has been frozen by Coinbase, so he cannot withdraw, purchase, or trade until he hears back from the company. Newsweek has contacted Coinbase for comment...” “Although the incident has provided him with a good story, Williamson believes that he amassed his 13-figure wealth through a glitch.“
  20. Chino, Chino, Japones, come caca y no me des.
