Favorite Hot Sauce
The smoked habanero Marie Sharp's is like crack. I need a new bottle.

shit that dissappeared during the great rona supply chain clusterfuck
I used to eat the hell out of those Fritos twists in college. Haven't had any in about 15 years though.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
I fell asleep on the drive between Stillwater and Tulsa when I was in college. Got up around 4:30AM that morning, worked all day, and thought I could make it home and back that evening. Woke up driving down the grass median a few hundred yards from an overpass concrete pillar. Scared the shit out of me and I was wide awake the rest of the drive.

Cord Cutters Thread
We had Dish for about ten years. Haven't missed them one bit since leaving. Their prices kept creeping up and their equipment was shit.

Sell Me a Washing Machine
Whirlpools are pretty solid. That's what we had prior to these. The one thing we really didn't like was that the dryer lint trap was on top so when you emptied it lint went everywhere. It was surprisingly annoying. I think only the cheaper basic models are like that. Whirlpool and Maytag are the only other brands I'd consider.

Sell Me a Washing Machine
Got these hooked up today and was briefly cussing Speed Queen for not including the screws required to attach the plug to the terminal block on the dryer. Wasted a good hour digging through my box of random shit in the garage to find one that fit before I could go to Ace and buy three new ones with the same threads. Got home, installed them, open the dryer door...packet of screws inside. Fuck me! Anyway, washed a few loads of clothes and everything seems to be working. Love the simplicity.

AFC Championship Game: Bengals @ Chiefs, CBS
My Great Aunt and Uncle live in Cincinnati and have been Bengals fans as long as I can remember. She passed away a couple weeks ago. Sucks she didn't get to see this. Hope they win it all though.

Sell Me a Washing Machine
Ha, basically look the same. I went with this model instead of the classic because we don't normally have super dirty clothes. I know a lot of die hards only like the older ones with the classic wash technology.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
We just bought one with a pool and everyone told us to get a separate pool inspection. It was $130 I think.

Sell Me a Washing Machine
These ones were $2200 with tax. Pretty expensive, but I think the Maytag set I was looking at was $1600-$1700 and hopefully these pay off over the long-term. Time will tell.

Had these delivered today. Not hooked up yet, but hope they last a long time.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
I think that's probably true. The booster seems to be pretty effective, at least in the short-term.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
My fever got pretty damn high one night and I had waves of fever and chills for a day or two. It wasn't horrible, but it sucked. I was Pfizer vaxxed last May, but no booster. And yeah, a huge number I know are getting this when they didn't get any of the others. At least that they know about.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Ha, no but that same person moved the meeting from Tuesday to Wednesday right after I talked to you. Just waiting for it to get moved to Thursday now.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Someone sent me a meeting request on a day I clearly had marked as being out. I explained that I wouldn't be able to make it and declined. Got another request an hour later from the same person on the same day. I declined again. Still not available.

Yep. The prices for them are absurd too.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
My taste and smell are definitely fucked today after being fine for the whole week. Not sure if it's just from lingering congestion or if I get to deal with this for the next several weeks/months.

Post a vid doing a burnout!

Could have had your husband assemble it for you and avoided all this mess.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
No loss of smell or taste yet for me (knock on wood), but definitely pounding headaches, sore throat, and fever in waves.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
I was thinking that as well, but we both tested positive for the 'vid.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Last night was pretty bad and honestly my fever was getting to the point where it was concerning. It must have finally broke at some point because I woke up feeling 100 times better. Hopefully that was the worst of it.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Wife and I have something. Test scheduled for the morning. Both Pfizer X2, but no boosters. I got my flu shot back in September/October. So far I seem to be getting it worse with aches, chills, pounding headache and fever. Basically everything I felt after the second shot except ramped up.

Electric can openers and wine bottle openers are idiotic. Solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Sell. Me. A TV.
Google TV interface on the Sony OLED is the best I've used. You can add it to any TV with the newer Chromecast, but it's nice having it all integrated.
