  1. I was quite concerned that the nerd on the other end was going to win yesterday. I audibly cheered when she out wagered him.
  2. I took some human sexuality class in undergrad. One girl asked the teacher if there was anything, heath wise, wrong with swallowing. Classroom looked just like that picture.
  3. You could try Victorians Barbecue in Mart if you are going Th-Sat. I have a review up thread which was not great. However, another poster had good experience with them at another location. I'd love to hear another review - it could have been a bad day the one time I went.
  4. Here is the cell phone contract I had my kids sign:

    Austin FC

    I think I followed some steps from this article last year.
  6. He still sounds great. We saw him in the early 90s playing with Elton John at the Alamodome. Glass Houses was one of my first albums.
  7. We often split 2 or 3 meat plates. I usually get coleslaw unless the place uses a sweet dressing. Half of the tater tot casserole and half of the Brussel sprouts were taken home. I think a good vinegar based slaw balances the fattiness of the meats. I make and keep serrano slaw dressing and shredded cabbage at the house which makes an easy addition to complete meals.
  8. How much of it, if any, has to do with him not being the focus of attention? I often see kids going to great lengths to get or keep parents attention in situations where the parents are interacting with others. Not sure if that is the case or not, but it might be worth exploring.
  9. Watched Argylle last night - star-studded spy comedy. It was entertaining. Sam Rockwell is good in anything.
  10. Had another decent meal at Stiles Switch in Cedar Park. Brisket, pork ribs, jalapeño slaw, Serrano fried Brussel sprouts, chessy tater tot casserole, and smoked Buffalo wings. Not outstanding like many of the top places, but it's nice to be able to get good barbecue on a Saturday night when everyone else has already closed. Saved one slice of brisket for breakfast and most of the wings to eat later today during the Austin FC match.
  11. I always focus on the rhythmic thumping sound. Once I fell asleep.
  12. There is a similar and potentially related subconscious process that was discussed in one of my psychology classes. It has to do with how a person attributes another persons actions as compared to their own. For example: the person in front of you doesn't hold the door for you - you attribute it to a personality flaw (inconsiderate, etc.); whereas, if you don't hold the door for the next person - it is something situational (hands are full, etc.). It's called Fundamental Attribution Error.
  13. Interstellar BBQ on 620 is really good (Texas Monthly #2 in 2021) and should be right on your way.
  14. I bought my wife a Coach purse back when we were dating before the turn of the century. She didn't much use a purse before and only uses it occasionally. It'll last her lifetime.
  15. LeRoy says that finished brisket amounts to 36% of the total. L&L use almost every piece for different things: burgers and tallow primarily. Watching their various videos - it appears that L&L has very little waste. Here is a video of his brisket yield test:
  16. I didn't take a picture of the LeRoy & Lewis menu with the prices, but its not cheap. I know the brisket, which is only available on Saturdays, was $40/pound. The $23 two meat plate had an upcharge of $2 for sliced beef and $3 for brisket.
  17. Cooking pot roast while banging your sister?
  18. We use 1Password. Has worked well for us for three years or so. App for the mobile devices and plug-in for browser. Easy to share specific logins with other family members. Can auto populate credit card numbers in a couple clicks of the mouse.
  19. First five minutes of explains where and how L&L gets chuck meat for its sliced beef. Probably could not get and results with a regular chuck roast.
