  1. The smartphone is the #1 answer. I also hate that every car comes with an infotainment system that is obsolete within five years.

    Houston BBQ

    Finally had Truth today for a late birthday lunch. No pics, but it was as good as advertised. Some of the best brisket I've had anywhere.
  3. My Nextdoor feed is currently up in arms about the potential for someone to come to their door and ask them if they'd like to be vaccinated. Full out rage. There is no hope for these people. We'll have to learn how to manage this and move on without their help.
  4. All electric was never a realistic solution. At least in the foreseeable future.
  5. People are fucking regarded when it comes to taxes. There's also this weird dick measuring contest on this board where everyone feels the need to talk shit on anyone receiving any kind of credit or refund. Congrats if you make more than half a mil per year. Just know that's not normal.
  6. In-laws got me a bottle of George Dickel 9 year single barrel select for my birthday. Haven't opened it yet, but anyone here had it? I've had other George Dickel that was okay, but not my favorite. Guess I could just open it.
  7. Good to know. I just bought a set of Michelins.
  8. Was really referencing that theory from last Summer.
  9. Remember when this thing was supposed to magically disappear during the Summer?
  10. Agreed for the most part. There are some good ones, but hard to find. So many are just depressing to drive through, let alone live in.
  11. Uneven wear between the fronts could be an alignment issue. She's probably also doing burnouts in it which isn't covered by warranty.
  12. Are there any threads that you two don't fuck up?
  13. We used to build bike ramps out of whatever scrap wood we could find. Made a pretty sketchy one once and volunteered the neighbor kid to test it out. He was the only one who had to wear a helmet and it's a good thing because he flipped off the end and landed directly on his head splitting the helmet in half. He ran inside crying and everyone scattered before the parents came out.
  14. It's funny to me how everyone's Dad had a stash of nudie magazines. Mine had a collection of Playboys from the 80's including the famous Vanna White edition. Legend has it he tried to throw them away...read my Mom told him to...and the trashmen refused to take them. Thank goodness for those trashmen or we may have never found them.
  15. I figured they were already doing that.
  16. Was going to say I'd rather risk one day of side effects than a week or more of being down with Covid... assuming you don't die of course.
  17. The vax threads on Nextdoor would be more entertaining if they weren't so rage inducing. So much blatant, easily verifiably false information being spread as facts. Always followed by anecdotal evidence and pleas to 'do your research.' People don't even know what research is anymore. Was talking to a family member earlier who is vaxxed, but is also pretty hardcore conservative. I was bitching about how much false information is spread via social media. They agreed, but followed with 'it's just hard to know what is and isn't true anymore'. Well...sometimes, but if you just use your brain you can filter out a good majority of the bullshit without even having to do any research at all.
  18. Could smell it as soon as I walked in the door.
  19. These are surprisingly entertaining.
  20. Absolutely perfect outside in Houston right now.
  21. Always love getting new tires. Always hate trying to find someone competent to mount them.
  22. I guess Google WiFi does not allow capping speed by device. I looked and we only run between 600-700 GB each month though.
  23. I also used my satellite feed into the house that branched out to all the rooms I have TVs in. It's a pretty clean setup for an amateur.
