  1. But at least they'd have an endless supply of yokels explaining how to get to the stadium.
  2. We did a lot of this too. Partly, we were able to because the normal social calendar for us and our kids had gone to zero. But also, we just made more of an effort. I miss that as well.
  3. It has happened before...
  4. What a horrible racetrack. It definitely doesn't deserve to be on the F1 schedule every year. Parking lot races in Miami are much better.
  5. Oh we all know. Doesn't change what the actual correct solution for the formula of the car should be.
  6. It's moving really quick if that's any consolation. Only about 12-15 minutes for the worst of it and 20-25 minutes of rain.
  7. Up to 2" hail and sideways rain in NW Travis between CP and the lake, about 20 minutes ago. No damage though. Sunny skies now. Looks like it's headed to Domain/Q2 where the soccer game is supposed to begin at 7:30.
  8. So drowning dudes in Town Lake is no longer enough for Nicole? Now she has learned to conjure death from the skies?
  9. The B1G would want TAMU for the exact same reasons the SEC did-- opening up more access to recruiting and television sets in Texas, while not threatening the legacy powers in the conference in any meaningful way.
  10. 0.15" in NW Travis. But after 1.5" Monday night, I can't complain.
  11. I haven't been in years but Baris was actually pretty good...
  12. I don't read it as "best" or "most iconic." "Favorite" doesn't have to mean either one of those things so just name who you like most. Agree that all of those are indeed worth mentioning.
  13. But to be fair, in addition to some of the city's best amenities, there's also the machete wielding homeless. And even more dangerous-- Nicole.
  14. Underwoods tried to open a store in Austin on Burnet Road. It didn't fare well. The building is still there, it was Tien Hong for a long time, now it's Shu-Shu's and a tattoo shop.
  15. Stiles Switch, Terry Black's, are the two best for having actual indoor dining room service hours at both lunch and dinnertime.
  16. Agree but as has been pointed out on this thread, at this point the TM top 50 list is used as much to drive customers to new or lesser known businesses, as anything else. Franklin is going to have the crowds regardless. But yeah it's still silly.
  17. Get rid of the hybrid engines and go back to V10s running environmentally friendly/synthetic fuels. Innovate for the environment while also making the cars smaller and the races more fun. Bring back refueling, too.
  18. One of my cousins was similar. He was always very smart but just not into academics. I think he was mostly into working on his old muscle car and smoking weed, to be honest. He stumble-bumbled around for a decade after high school, working complete shit jobs, including his final 4 or 5 years working at the city landfill in Fort Worth. Then finally one day when he was about 30, he decided he didn't want to be a burnout for the rest of his life, and he got himself into Texas A&M where he went straight through in 4 years and earned a software engineering degree. Ever since, he's worked his way up from coding, into senior management, at a private software company in Dallas. He made great money, got married, and actually just retired a couple of years ago, before age 60. That got longwinded but I really love late bloomer stories like that. They tend to make me happier than success stories about people you always expected to succeed regardless. Anyway, best of luck to your stepson.
  19. Yeah that's exactly the point. Those sheeptards on texags have invented the aggie fact that Tito is some huge Phil Knight style NIL donor for Texas. And at the same time they have also invented the fact that our NIL donors are all inheritants of generational wealth, unlike the self-made badasses that donate to A&M.
  20. I like holiday releases better than summer releases anyway, for some reason. I doubt I'll see every MCU movie and TV show leading up to these two, unlike for everything up to Endgame, but I'm certain I'll go see these.
  21. A critic at Cannes hated it. I'm guessing it's going to be my favorite Wes Anderson film yet.
