    I’m pretty sure MarathonAg12 is a @SydneyCarton pseudonym.

    I took the week off but I’ve been been keeping up with the thread because I’m addicted to bad news.

    Even more offensive than the message is using three different fonts. The horror!

    What do you buy there that’s a good deal? Shock is more expensive by $1/lb or more than CalHypo at Costco and Walmart has the cheapest liquid Chlorine I’ve been able to find.

    Small correction, but BAMC is San Antonio.

    Also, they apparently hate open table here-everything is on Resy and their shit UI.

    We’re here now-yesterday was 98 degrees with 95% humidity most of the day, just ruthless when our favorite activity to explore the city on foot. So far Raw 167 delivered, we canceled a Husk reserve because the daily menu looked unremarkable, and we’re about to eat at Obstinate daughter after a morning at the beach. I will say, I’m too old and too married to really care about the young 20’s talent but I’m a little surprised how many good looking young women abound. If I was 20-30’s I think this would be an awesome place to work remotely or come work in tourism over a summer break, far better than New Orleans in that respect.

    You can get a courtesy bag of Doritos if that feels like a good value for you. They also have a salad vending machine. The best part was people watching other patrons as they stationed themselves on the patio and tried to pretend the lounge exclusivity was something they should value enough to endure the growing discomfort.

    Has anyone commented on the Chase Sapphire lounge at ABIA yet? It’s about 40 sq ft of air conditioned space and 2000 sq ft of rooftop patio overlooking the tarmac. We lasted about 10 minutes before the dry sauna heat and jet engine noise drove us back inside.

    This and Olive Garden were considered fine dining by those of us nearby. First time I went to that Pappas Seafood on I-10 my mind was blown.

    That was in fishes, I think he was talking to Ritchie‘s ex and Ritchie was just kind of eavesdropping.

    He also had a two ep run on Person of Interest in which they introduced fellow Texas Sarah Shahi.

    Who had money on Fred Van Fleet making more annually than Kyrie?
  14. LCHorn
    I guess that 3rd year is to create a $40m matching trade possible after two years, right?

    On another thread he's intimating its January and still on for today.

    I think you're confused on your points--you wrote that homes aren't meant to be used as financial instruments, then point to a link in legislation is discussed where private capital invests in public housing (i.e., the federal government is helping subsidize the profit that private capital is forgoing by building low-income housing). That's very much in the spirit with what I propose you do. Also, not to pick nits but you and I must have a very different understanding of LBJ. He was the Brown brothers man in Congress and created generational wealth for himself by steering radio licenses to Ladybird. For the most part, when he favored helping people it was very much "one for me, one for you" at best.

    Sydney touched on a lot of my sentiments here already, but this moral high ground in which you stake your claim is a little silly and inconsistent with federal housing policy, a consensus of economists, and urban planners who focus on the needs of the working class. If you want to put your money where your mouth is, buy a second home, lease it but keep the rents low enough where you're not building equity. That would appear consistent with your ethical preferences AND provide housing to someone who needs it at presumably below market rents. Plus you can choose to be a great landlord and that's worth something a little more difficult to quantify.

    $42 million for Fred Van Fleet is insane in a world not dictated by weird salary cap rules.

    We had a pretty decent apartment in Oaxaca city for $40 a night. Rooms at the better hotels were all $300+.

    This is irrational but I've hated Woody Williams ever since he pitched for the Astros (and fuck you McLane for signing a 39 year old free agent just because he was from Houston and pitched well in cavernous Petco).
  21. LCHorn
    Highlighting this.
  22. LCHorn
    We called it "dead mans float" in the Corps. I'm a little surprised I haven't heard of drown proofing even though I earned my lifesaving merit badge (at El Rancho Cima no less).

    Argh, shouldn't have tried to write this from a phone--a 38% premium over Denver.
  24. LCHorn
    Damn, that was scathing. Reminds me of something in the "Fearless Critic" guide back when a diner might actually consult a book for or the Zagat guide for recommendations.
  25. LCHorn
    I think that data is just suspect in general. Looking at it again, I don’t see how Austin would have been at a 38% premium when the markets otherwise appear very similar.
