    I’d be hard pressed to pick many souther cities over Austin. Seems like you’re in tech?  That’s Austin.  But Austin iss probably close to twice as expensive as Charlotte in housing

    Industry isn’t a critical factor. We love Austin, so we’re leaning that way (something to be said for family and familiarity). I think our reservations lie in how much Austin has changed, the heat, and affordability (or lackthereof) of raising a family in a decent neighborhood/school system. Pros and cons to everywhere, I guess.
     

    But transparently, as a late twenties/early thirties couple, I think we’re also spooked at the prospect of moving home, settling down, blinking and being sixty all of a sudden lol…

  2. Surly brain trust — After a few  years in the Research Triangle, I’ll be moving soon for a new job (the company’s RTP office is small and might hinder career opps). Should I move back to Austin or give it a go in Charlotte?

    Factors to consider: Married w: no kids, we have family/friends in Austin, closest family to Charlotte is ~3 hrs…

    Trying to weigh living somewhere familiar near loved ones vs. trying something new… On paper, the draw to Charlotte is COL, mild weather, moderate political climate and access to the mountains.

    Oh, you're just now coming to realize that your fantasy isn't going to be fulfilled? What are you, just waking up from a December '22 month-long bender?


    In related news, I have to say that TheMailbox is fast out of the blocks for the 2023 award for Most Voluminous Yet Worthless Poster of the Year. He's like ZTejas and The Football Board stepped into at Telepod from The Fly and merged into an even more hideous posting monstrosity that is worse than the sum of their wretched parts. But lets not discount newcomer TheContractor, as it's a long year and the race to the bottom as always is fast and seemingly without limit. 

    In related news, if any of the above posters would be interested in a sub to Orangebloods, I'm sure we can croudsource some folks to pay for it if you promise to never, ever, return here. Like ever. 

    Sorry, I should have specified: my Evan Stewart fantasy died a while ago...
     

    You self-important ass. So important that you’ve accumulated 12,000 posts on surlyhorns — the mark of a truly successful life.

    I don't have CTJ levels of hate for Nahlin, but I can't stand the guy and his reporting. What exactly is a 'professional program' supposed to mean? Sarkisian wants all his coaches to have NFL experience? That doesn't seem to be the case on for the defensive coaches. Andre Coleman played in the NFL or five seasons and even set Super Bowl records, but how did he turn out as a WR coach? 

    Eric Nahlin "publisher of Inside Texas", throwing more shit against the wall and hoping it sticks. If it weren't for Bobby and Gerry, IT would be completely useless.

    Eric is also a petty, condescending bitch when any subscriber dares to question him…

  5. IMO, they could’ve trimmed the first ~30 min of the movie and just started with the family fleeing to the island village… That said, my wife falls asleep  during 99% of movies and was engaged for the full 3.5 hrs.

    The last action set piece with the whale belly flop was truly spectacular and worth the price of admission.

    Not this. But the next few episodes after. And I was 46 at the time. 

    It’s practically impossible to watch this without weeping… So powerful and so “adult” for a children’s show.

    Just bought civ 6 after playing civ 5 for quite some time… It seems a lot more complex (and boring) thus far. Maybe it’ll just take some time to get used to the switch.

    Never mind. Silly me — I can see how my life will slowly be consumed by Civ 6.
