  1. Inside Out is one of my favorite Pixar movies. Having two daughters gives it even more meaning watching them go through those stages as they grow up.
  2. My fever was pretty brutal with Covid and whatever the fuck I had two months later. That and the headaches were the worst part.
  3. I also think the importance of hard work alone shifts from generation to generation. Success builds on the previous generations' success. My Grandpa grew up poor and worked his ass off to become a very successful engineer. That opened doors for his kids which then opened doors for their kids. My kids have it better than I did. I don't pretend I grew up in the same world as my Grandpa though. We didn't start in the same place.
  4. Blows my mind that grown adults can't comprehend this.
  5. So glad I switched. TxTag is a joke.
  6. The window etching one really gets me. They pulled that shit on the last car I bought and I was surprisingly able to get a refund for it. They also lied about installing tint and wheel locks (used car with tint receipt in glovebox and no wheel locks even on the car) so they removed that too. Fucking thieves.
  7. The Mach 1 is my favorite version of the current Mustang. Looks badass.
  8. The interior colors on old cars are so great. My Grandpa had a 1964 Mercury Montclair. Blue exterior and interior. Thankfully my Uncle kept it and restored it to its former glory.
  9. The cheaper models still have the top lint traps. I usually try to go cheaper just because they're simpler with less shit to break. Or just buy a Speed Queen that's simple and expensive.
  10. Backlash for what? Unless you had symptoms or knowingly attended the training while you were sick.
  11. We typically keep ours at 74 when we're home and that's fine to me. I could go to 76, but higher than that starts to suck. Seems like everyone else I know keeps theirs at 68-70 which seems insane to me. No thanks to $500 electricity bills. Thankfully my new house has more shade and badass windows. We'll see how that works out during the Summer months.
  12. Mine is set to 78 when I'm not at the house. Has fuck all to do with Ercot asking me to though.
  13. So illegals are responsible for our crime, spreading Covid, formula shortages...what else? Need to get my talking points straight.
  14. I swear I read in the property tax thread where the state just disappeared a $1.4B windfall last year. They could use that to 'relieve the burden'. Or maybe that was just fake news.
  15. That's because all of the people on Nextdoor bitching that some suspicious man knocked on their door asking for access to their backyard WITH NO WARNING!
  16. If you don't buy a $550K watch, how else would you post on Surly about your $550K watch?
  17. She passed a while ago. Crazy you knew her. Small world.
  18. OU and Texas were supposed to play in the CCG last year too. I read it on the internet.
  19. Fucking criminal enterprise. Not a damn thing will happen either.
  20. From what I read not all foam cannons work well with electric due to the lower GPM throughput. I need to revisit though before I finally buy one.
  21. Bosch is basically unattainable for 9-12 months last I checked. I found a Miele in stock online and it was delivered in a week.
