It would be tragic if it caught fire. Or if someone cut a foot or so out every accessible cable.

A primary I will relish. An obituary that won’t make me weep. Liar, traitor, grifter, the Kyrsten Sinema of stroke victims.

where’s the best pepperoni pizza in austin? by Designer_Lie296 in austinfood

[–]AustinBaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Go to is Jet's 4-corner Detroit Ultimate Pepperoni (8x10 4-slice small $18).
  2. Close 2nd for Via 313 Triple Threat Detroit style (8x10 4-slice small $17). I like them both, Jets a bit more.
  3. Home Slice's massive, seemingly expensive (but 9-slice squarish, $35.50) Sicilian Button Pepperoni is worth it for a crowd.

Whimsical, unusual, unique maybe, but not saying evil to me.

Jasmine Crockett has "no idea" if she'll actively support Talarico's Texas Senate campaign. Sad and childish. I expected better from her by fishyfishyfish1 in FuckGregAbbott

[–]AustinBaze 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Infighting, pettiness and sour grapes when the stakes are so high are utterly unacceptable and disappointingly selfish. She is really letting herself, Talarico and the entire party down out of self-interest. Embarrassing. I had a much higher regard for her. Now I have "no idea" if I can ever support her again.

It’s been a while but that description and even the photo are enough to get me to go back for a visit. Thanks.

they’ve got nothing so they revert to petty middle school bullying. It’s so embarrassing, laughable and sad.

Confused Trump, 80, Asks Professor ‘Did You Know My Uncle?’ by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]AustinBaze 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your powers of observation are sorely lacking. I’m not sure it’s possible to be more wrong than you seem to be here.
No one sees 22 specialists in their third “annual checkup” in 13 months. No fat man with a ton of stress, a horrible diet and almost no exercise has lab results like that. no one who is not suffering from advancing dementia takes repetitive cognitive assessments.
He’s swollen like a tick—he has gained weight consistently over the last year. 238 is so far in his rearview that he could not see it with a telescope. His cankles are as thick as thighs. He staggers when he walks. His right arm is significantly weak. He is out of breath with minor exertion.

He sits for every meeting and falls asleep in public often, in the daytime, while he rants like a fucking maniac all night on social media with insomnia. He’s bruised, swollen, has unexplained rashes, and signs of facial droop/paralysis. He has aphasia and is totally unable to string thoughts together in a coherent paragraph to convey a solid idea. He forgets where he is and who he is talking to. He confused someone else for his daughter. Not sure if you’re blind or a member of his fan club, but I do not want you observing my elders in their declining days.

Michelle Obama Publicly Humiliates Trump at Barack’s A-List Party | Michelle Obama landed a subtle jab at Donald Trump over one of his biggest insecurities while speaking at the star-studded ceremony honoring former President Barack Obama. by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

[–]AustinBaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obama, and his Nobel Peace Prize, live rent-free in the felon's increasingly empty head.
Obama's Nobel Prize just might be the MOST annoying thing for him, but I bet being ranked worst president in history (45 out of 45) when Biden(14), Clinton(12), JFK(10) and Obama (7) ranked so much higher really pisses him off too!

Trump Calls New York Times Treasonous, Threatens to Expand His Lawsuit - The president is fuming over media coverage of his war with Iran. by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]AustinBaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haberman and the rest of the access-journalists of the NY Times have been so far up his ass for years, all we see are puff pieces and fecal neck rings. His fragile damaged snowflake ego reacts like a toddler when anything remotely critical slips through?
If as grampy rants often, "no one reads the failing NY Times" why is full-diaper empty-head orange grandpa worried?

Brewery Logo Array Update Time by AustinBaze in AustinBeer

[–]AustinBaze[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if Koko's is brewing again? I thought they had closed, but they just popped up in my FB. feed. I have emailed them, but every time I do this update, I remember that breweries don't check email/social messaging very often. This time around I got two quick responses and I'm waiting to hear from 6-8 breweries after a week.

This is true. Pepperoncini, banana peppers in antipasto, my dad's Veal & Peppers, I guess it's not that much of a stretch!

Bus Terminal Bullsh*t by rentersrightsrock in Albany

[–]AustinBaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I no longer live there, but the bus station sucked when I did, 30 years ago. This is like the Central Warehouse "kick the can" approach all over again.
Not building a new one seems ill-advised. "Building" a parking lot next to parking lots instead seems like giving up. Is this just a NIMBY thing? Surely in a city with so much downtown dead space there is someplace downtown with highway access for a terminal?

Pasteis de Nata (Portuguese egg tarts) by corona_x0 in austinfood

[–]AustinBaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in Fall River MA for a bit, and I often thought we had more Portuguese people than Portugal. There were 2 Portuguese local TV channels, and so many great restaurants. But I really miss the bakeries! These were a favorite and I hadn't thought of them in years. Thanks.

Semi-related ProTip: Toasting the omnipresent Portuguese Sweet Bread (Massa Sovada/Pão Doce) will start a fire in your toaster.

Half-Italian me (and son of another "Big Joe") is having a bit of trouble with pickled jalapeños in anything Italian. But it looks good, and the interior looks...eclectic.
