  1. He's really almost too good to be true and he reads exactly like AI. But then I think about the ags I know in real life who think, and talk, in this exact same way, and I become less sure of my position on the matter.
  2. Yeah I do more like 2-1.5-0.5 on baby backs. I also don't do a full 1 hour at the end on spares, it's usually closer to a half-hour. That's enough time to get them to firm up, without drying out too much.
  3. Wasn't nearly cringey enough. My wife loves watching the races, but the only part of any of the pregame she'll ever watch, is a Brundle grid walk. Because she loves the cringe.
  4. That was some fun racing. I have a feeling Bortoleto woulda had him if they hadn't had to maneuver around Lando and Oscar at just the wrong time.
  5. Yup. It's just as easy to say that a couple of truly terrible plays by the Texas offense, are the only reasons the score of that game wasn't 31-0.
  6. Pork has a natural sweetness to it when it's cooked. My dry rub for ribs has a little bit of sugar in it, but not much, and it's more than enough. I loathe any kind of sweet sauce/glaze on a pork rib. It's an immediate hard pass for me.
  7. I hate sweet sauced ribs so no thanks.
  8. It's pretty clear to me that this is precisely why they went with the Duster. It's the D-minus version compared to all its contemporary muscle cars. But it's still pretty damn cool.
  9. Well to be fair, she's been born and raised in Austin and been to dozens of UT games and tailgate parties and is quite accustomed to experiencing the middle aged dude reliving his Austin experience kind of lifestyle... but this time, she was actually picturing herself living that college experience and I think it hit different. She might or might not end up going to UT but she definitely loves Austin as much as I ever did.
  10. Anyway, I enjoyed AJ Vallejo's set with his latest band Brodie Lane. The medley with Timbuk3 and the Doors was cool, and when they closed with Styx, I was totally in. Overall my first experience with this series at this venue and I liked it. I'm trying to convince my daughter to go to UT and we'd spent the morning doing the Texas Preview tour and information sessions, and then had lunch at The Posse, and ended the day with the live concert on the grounds at the Bullock. She had a great time and I made some progress pushing Texas as a great college choice...
  11. Yeah I was there last night too, I felt really bad for him. I also felt really bad for my 17yo daughter who's a huge Ian Moore fan because we've played his music to her for years, and this was her first experience to hear him live. But most of all I felt bad for the rest of us who had to sit there and watch those two women stand up and "dance" in front of the rest of the audience.
  12. I was down at the Bullock last night for the Ian Moore outdoor concert and there was a huge line for the 7:30 showing. I love that theater but it's so dumb that the seats aren't assigned.
  13. I coulda posted this in the trucks nuts thread but it's Tacoma-specific so might get more traffic here... We're starting to look at cars for my soon to be 16yo son and he's mostly been interested in the sportier cars-- Toyota GR86, Mustangs, Camaros. But lately he's really keen on the idea of a pickup, and specifically the Tacoma. I don't know much about them, but I can see the various trim packages. He's most likely going to want the one that looks the coolest, but I'm interested in the various engine options. We'd be looking at 2020 or newer, and it looks like the engine options are a 2.7L 4-cylinder or a 3.5L 6-cylinder? Any thoughts on them? He doesn't need to be racing this thing and won't be towing anything. He might want to haul some stuff in the bed but nothing really heavy.Is the 4-cylinder okay or for general use, or is it under-powered? I don't really have a preference but for me, safety is the main concern. I've driven some under-powered cars that make them difficult to merge onto freeways at speed, that's the type of thing I want to make sure it has the power to do. Open for thoughts and ideas on the matter.
