Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook
NHL is way more entertaining than the shit NBA. Hell it's more entertaining than the NFL in some cases. The MLB is good during the playoffs.

Oven/range - what do I want
I got my $3,200 KitchenAid fridge new in box from a Sears Outlet for $1,800. Also put a scratch and dent (dent was on the side and not visible) JennAir gas range in our old house for about 60% of retail.

People overwhelmingly love Miele, but they're still appliances and can break at any time. It was between Bosch and Miele for us based on reputation. Bosch was a year wait so we went with Miele. So far so good, but only time will tell.

They didn't even win their division let alone their conference. It was horseshit they were given a free pass. Fuck them forever. If you can't see how that season was everything that's wrong with college football I don't even know what to say to you.

I get it, this is a thread for negativity and I fully support it, but has Greenspoint made a single positive post...ever? Dude must be a beating in real life.

Hahaha yeah one game. Tell me you don't know oSu football without telling me. But yeah, that was likely as close as we'll ever get. Texas has had and will have many more.

The shanked FG against ISU cost us our chance and it was all the reason they needed to keep us out. When you're not a blue blood the margin of error is zero. It also cost Weeden the Heisman. The only way I cope with it is to convince myself we wouldn't have given OU the beat down we did had the NC game been on the line. Or something. That game killed college football for me and I haven't really given much of a shit since.

Do any of us? We didn't do a damn thing to punish Baylor. Those fucks should have been relegated to oblivion, but they weren't.

I would say on dishwashers it's Bosch/Miele...KitchenAid/JennAir/Whirlpool...everyone else.

I would buy KitchenAid fridge and dishwasher. I've had good luck with both as they're just slightly nicer Whirlpools. Had an LG dishwasher die after a few years. Have heard the same with fridges although not as bad as Samsung.

Markets still falling like whoa
Restaurants are already becoming unaffordable and that's running on razor thin margins.

My cast iron sink is awesome. I'd never switch back.

People spend money on things they like. Some do it to impress others I guess, but I like having the best tool for the job and disagree it doesn't help or at least improve the experience. Cheap, shitty kitchen appliances are a beating to use. My old house had a plastic faucet when we moved in. It worked so I guess it was fine, but it was one of the first things I changed out. I also upgraded all of the appliances to the best that was appropriate for that particular house price point and had zero regrets. To each their own though.

Why do you need a 36" range? Just buy a cheapo 30".

Yes: Pools are worth it....
I've heard that's pretty common practice with pool builders these days. A coworker tried for months to get anyone to even come out, let alone follow up. I guess they don't need the business so they don't care much.

Parents spend $4000 on Consultants to help daughters get into Sororities
I have the same question. I don't understand the point of any of it.

Unpopular Opinions Thread
Is that an unpopular opinion? It gets a fraction of the hype of the men's WC...for good reason. Maybe three people I know are actively watching it and nobody I know is talking about it. I'll watch the US games because it's the US, but other than that it's completely out of my mind. You can't even hardly find USWNT shirts or anything so it's not like it's being shoved down our throats. At least I haven't seen it if it is. Also, the WC lasts one month every four years unlike the shitty NBA playoffs which last two months every year. No idea how people watch that shit.

Replacement Windows
I just can't believe people are paying $150K-$200K for windows. Maybe they are. Seems ridiculous unless your house is worth millions.

In my experience the Indian/Asian population is pushing the Aggy contingent further West into Fulshear and beyond. Off the top of my head my neighborhood has UT, Rice, Notre Dame, random SEC schools and of course a few of the Tech/Aggy/Baylors as expected. It's actually a pretty nice mix.

I know more than one person who spent that recently. Shit is out of control.

All the trim will be painted so it's poplar. The panels are maple plywood. I'm not good enough for stain grade.

I don't know what I'm doing on any of this stuff so I make it up as I go. I enjoy it though. One more pic with the casing added.
