  1. Reposting with the quote correctly posted, because I'm an idiot. Doubling the affordable housing bond will guarantee its failure. The real solution on housing is a supply increase via proper zoning reform. Is that Code Next? Not really...
  2. Why doesn't Cap Metro fund their own projects? They have their own taxing and bonding authority, unlike many local transit agencies. The CoA has multiple billions in unfunded mobility needs even before shouldering Cap Metro's load. Why should the city have to take responsibility for this?
  3. Dixon was the star of the show. Thought the guy playing Pilate did a great job as well.
  4. Believe you are right about the website. If somebody can find it there's a video from the mid1950s, right after I-35 opened, talking about traffic safety.
  5. Decided this is the year to tackle the weeds in my mixed grass yard - mainly Bermuda but some St. Augustine in the side yard in the shade. Lots of mixed weeds, especially over septic where they are just about crowding out the Bermuda. Kicker is I just broke my foot, so I can't do anything myself, foot can't touch the ground for 8 weeks. Anybody have experience using Chem Free in the Austin area?
  6. Thanks Aphelion. This is great information. Matches my thinking at home, where I just focus on fresh beans, grind before brewing and use a drip maker to make a pretty god cup of coffee.
  7. I'll second this. Back problems for 20+ years. Inversion is amazing.
  8. For the price I think the McKenna BiB is a clear winner. One of the rare times a rec from the store has paid off for me.
  9. A couple of years ago I went to Sur La Table in the Domain, bought the house brand carbon steel wok for $35. You can spend a lot more but this one has been amazing, just make sure you season it properly and take care of it. Don't get the non-stick with teflon, can't really cook with true wok level heat in it.
  10. Crossroads, or go off menu for an Ace of Spades.
  11. Probably been discussed here already, but why, after 3 years, does Smart not have the personnel recruited to play the "havoc" style that made him so successful and got him the job?
  12. Is this because there's a Longhorn logo on the bib? Y'know, so the Horns are down if the bib is upside down.
  13. And this will have no impact on ticket prices.
  14. Free season subscription to MLB.tv for T-Mobile customers. Sign up by Monday on T-Mobile's site or using the T-Mobile Tuesday app.
  15. The monthly sign in to each app is a pain with DIRECTV Now. Didn't know it was different with other providers?
  16. Is Apple still offering cheap battery replacements on older phones?
  17. Thanks for letting us celebrate his life with you.
  18. My daughter is about to turn 20, and is on the autism spectrum. All of this, especially 3. You are you kid's biggest advocate, don't expect others to do it.
  19. Watching the Littlefield Relays on DTVNow as I type. One of the reasons I was willing to cut the cord. Can also use the ESPN app with your subscription. There you can watch a 4-screen split feed which is amazing in the fall.
  20. Thought the first episode was really slow to develop. Will give it a couple more because of Hader.
  21. @Grandioso Maron interviewing Keith Richards both Maron's and Chris Hardwick's interviews with Mel Brooks.
  22. Came here to post this. Or thry will threaten to sue the Blackhawks.
  23. These guys deserve what they're gonna get - everybody involved in the "design," construction and operation of this mess. I hope the family of the boy gets every penny Schlitterbahn has. I'm a professional engineer, and I agonize over everything I put my seal on because it involves public health and safety. These guys just threw some shit together then hid the evidence when they figured out they might kill somebody.
  24. Two relatively new podcasts worth a listen - American History Tellers has done two series so far, first on the Cold War. And currently wrapping up Prohibition. Business Wars has tackled Blockbuster v Netflix, Adidas v Nike, and is starting Marvel v DC. Highly recommend both.
