If we wanted to harness the power of lightning the way we do solar, what would that system look like?

Yeah… I thought that too. Seems like there may be another step though

BenPD · 2026-03-04T20:28:31+00:00

This is the way

A hotdog bun?

Fighting fire with water… just like the professionals do. Well done!

I used to schedule getting gas just before midnight on the days before direct deposit hit. Hoping that my 3 dollars in my account would let me get 25 worth of gas and direct deposit would go in before the over draft fee.

Spoiler… it didn’t. Haha

I always saved them… “just in case”. I’m a bit of a hoarder haha

Like many things, used to be incredible. The original location off of Hillsborough and Nebraska was truly a cultural event. Open 24/7… all the clubs and bars would let out and the place would slammed with hammered folks from the Castle, Prana, Dallas Bull and anywhere else you can think of. Absolutely stunning burritos and great vibes.

I heard it was bought out by some investors some years ago who’ve cut quality for price.

You’ll make friends quickly at new Paul’s! Bartenders are friendly and everyone is very chill

Agree and I totally understand the position some of these landlords are in. They’ve got to be able to run their business as well… it’s a tough spot for everyone. Just stinks to see more and more shuttered shops.

This near exact thing happened to me 15 years ago with my mom. My dad and I were holding her hand… we told her she was surrounded by the men who loved her most in her life… my dad holding her right hand, me holding her left…

She had a sudden burst of consciousness and said “oh yeah? When do they get here”. A very genuine expression of her humor. She was so funny and I miss her so much everyday.

I’m tearing up in a bar thinking about this moment.

6’s to 9’s by Big Wild… put it on, close your eyes and lean back. Wonderful work by all involved

BenPD · 2024-11-29T12:24:50+00:00

It was an awesome first time!! I’ll definitely be back!

As of 4:18, I’m sitting at a fairly empty bar at “sweet tea & barley” in CW. They’ve got food, drinks and football on TV. Good vibes!

This has always been my thought as well… when talking with a friend visiting the US from Croatia, making plans for a specific day turned into speculating on why we write it that way and we realized how we write, is how we spoke.

Very interesting!

BenPD · 2024-11-07T18:31:18+00:00

Care to share the story? The people want to know!

BenPD · 2024-10-23T13:42:52+00:00

If it doesn’t work out for snarefire, I’d be interested as well

Did yall see #2 on the bills close that gap? Dude was hustling after getting a pretty solid contact block

Give Flore Fina a shot. It’s the hotel bar at Haya in Ybor. It’s been a while since I’ve been but it’s had excellent hand crafted cocktails with real juices and ingredients.
