    It’s decent, vibe reminds me of Chuy’s before it went corporate and “slightly corny” passed over to superficial and fake. They appear to do a good job managing families.
  2. Yes, but 13 walks. Sounds overwhelmed, which leads to confusion and passivity.
  3. He was pretty well lauded for the Saints of Newark and I think he’s fairly compelling here as a young sycophant a little in over his head. What were in you hoping to get from the performance that you’re not seeing?
  4. I doubt Sinners is the kind of draw a Nolan film is and that requires you get than an hour in advance.
  5. Bear in mind the median age of this board is probably 50, firmly Gen X and has been watching TV unapologetically with subtitles for a decade. TL:DR, they don’t understand white people shit either.
  6. My main issue with USAA was price creep, and that appears to be the most common complaint on the veterans subreddits. Everyone thinks they are better because they bill themselves as veteran focused, but at this point it’s just branding.
  7. You sound like someone that would be wise to shop around and see what other insurers are charging….
  8. Great post; you make me want to go back without kids.
  9. Evidently the dad has burns and broken bones but so far so good on surviving it.
  10. I just drove by, several Texas Gas service trucks were parked nearby.
  11. Apparently it knocked out the windows at Laurel Mountain Elementary.
  12. I live close, thought I ran over a basketball and then saw all the neighbors outside. I counted five ambulances, two fire trucks, and countless sheriff’s department vehicles. A ton of neighbors were headed to DK Ranch to watch.
  13. I’m presuming you understand that charisma isn’t the only criteria for winning, but I’ll repeat my question-who do you think would have outperformed the candidates that were chosen, in Kerry’s case, a diverse primary against an incumbent with less than 50% approval (for the record, @bolverk, I was an Edward’s guy so my judgment is far from infallible, too). This whole “run better candidates” and “goddamn Dem elites need to quit picking Clintons” is fine to settle on, but it seems to be omitting the obvious-they were the best at the time and we voted for them. There’s a piece in The Atlantic I haven’t finished yet but it posits that our current anti-incumbent malaise is driven by the failure of government to deliver solutions fast enough to avoid social media criticism (I.e, information travels so fast now that everything looks like shit if you start picking at it.). I feel like there’s an undercurrent of that in the complaints about the Dem candidates. Here’s my rebuttal-the Dem VOTERS are at fault and need to quit blaming party elites, Hispanics for failing to marry themselves to the party like African Americans have, and wishing that every candidate looked or spoke like Obama.
  14. If your standard for candidate excellence is Obama then you're living in fantasy land. No one is going to measure up. John Kerry DESTROYED the field in the primary. In response to a post making the claim that the Dems are somehow holding back their best candidates because elites within the party are dictating who can win, your recommendation is "find someone else"? I guess we can bullshit about whatever on the thread but it's not constructive. If your complaint is that you wish there were better options, then I agree with you, but I don't see a better option who was ignored.
  15. Oh, totally disagree. Jim Webb or Martin O'Malley wasn't going to beat Trump and that was peak Bernie in terms of movement energy (and still got beat in every primary state that wasn't 80% anglo aside from Michigan) Who did you want to run in either of these elections that you think would have resulted in a different outcome?
