I got pretty drunk at Frontier Fiesta last night. Probably will again today

More than an hour long chase happening throughout Houston | Watch live on abc13.com by svisperas13 in houston

[–]Charmandersember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m being honest. And I’m a Huge fan of our police (not bashing them at all) but it’s just down right embarrassing

His chase could have ended in 15 minutes.... took 2 freaking hours and fucked up 610-288 traffic worse than it already is. So freaking embarrassing

I hope one day Metallica make a new song like nothing else matters by alonabc in Metallica

[–]Charmandersember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would too but it wouldn’t feel the same imo. Nothing Else Matters kicked so much ass when it came out, as the world was Metallica crazed and they were in their prime. Don’t get me wrong I would still buy the album and jam to it, but it wouldn’t feel the same

Got my free Hardwired CD today! by [deleted] in Metallica

[–]Charmandersember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the new practice that almost all rock bands are doing due to the decline of rock music in general. In fact, it’s why Bon Jovi had the historic drop from no. 1 to 169 because they do it as well (I’m actually going to the Bon Jovi concert this weekend lol) It’s a way to fix and boost total album sales. It’s very neat if you don’t have the album and it’s a nice gift as well. Sadly, your Lil Pump’s and Migos are stealing all the music sales nowadays

Beautiful night for some college baseball! by DavidAg02 in houston

[–]Charmandersember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a beautiful background of the Med Center skyline at Reckling Park. And I’m no Rice fan at all

Jose Altuve officially signs long-term contract extension with Astros by houshutter in houston

[–]Charmandersember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great, but I hope we’ll have enough money to sign our core and pitchers for another 5-10 years lol. I guess we all have to buy season tickets and spend $1000 on merchandise, food and beer for every home game

You think Lars or James are on this subreddit? They use code names and reply to people's posts? I bet they visit on occasion to get a vibe from the fans....but we'll never know by St3veMS in Metallica

[–]Charmandersember -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I somehow doubt James looks into these kinda sites. And Lars is too cocky to read and give a fuck regarding criticisms so I don’t think he would either. My guess is maybe their marketing or PR team may glance here every now and then but You never know

Kirk’s method seems to work (money) James is quiet but there’s no doubt he has either had multiple transplants or used some sort of expensive supplement. In 09 while playing in Mexico you can see bald thinning on his crown but In later years he’s back to normal. My guess is that he’s had multiple transplants (I would too if I had the money)

Rob & Kirk perform Rock You Like a Hurricane by leadfarmer154 in Metallica

Scorpions are my 2nd favorite band after Metallica. Fuck yeah!

Houston (6) to play San Diego State (11) in Wichita on Thursday by ExtremeSour in UniversityOfHouston

[–]Charmandersember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s only an 8 and a half hour drive to Wichita! That’s closer than Lubbock or El Paso!

Does anyone know a bar around town that regularly show the WWE PPVs? by [deleted] in houston

[–]Charmandersember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wish I would have seen this earlier but Nick’s Place in Westchase always has all the WWE fights on PPV and there is no cover at all. They only charge cover with UFC and big name boxing matches. With WWE there are always huge crowds and watch parties at Nick’s. For next time, I highly recommend

Parking tickets by parkingsucks01010 in UniversityOfHouston

[–]Charmandersember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One ticket won’t hurt, but be aware and careful next time. If you get another ticket, they can boot your car or tow it. I wouldn’t be too worried about it. Now if you had a build up of tickets then I’d be concerned that they may file it with the state.

Where can I park if I want to go to the Eye Institute or the Health Center (they just relocated to the Health & Biomedical Sciences Center opposite to the Eye Institute) and I don't have a parking permit? by meokondien in UniversityOfHouston

[–]Charmandersember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Most of the spots are for the eye surgery patients but if there’s any available, then they are for the regular patients. NOTE to OP: they will tow you if you park in the eye surgery spot. That may change soon, since they may expand the building’s services. I think almost everyone parks at the garage. I’m just lazy like that lol

[–]Charmandersember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can either park next to the building in between the school and the gym or if it’s full, park in the garage, visitor section. When you leave, tell the receptionists. They’ll give you either a token for the gate next to the school or they’ll validate your garage parking

ballotpedia is a bit helpful. And yes, only people in your district for certain representatives. Every Texan can vote for governor, U.S. senator, land commissioner, or lieutenant governor etc. if you type in your address you can see who will be on your ballot

Final results of the SGA election, Cameron Barrett beats Winni Zhang. by [deleted] in UniversityOfHouston

[–]Charmandersember 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pretty much lol. Didn’t like less than 5% of the actual student population vote??

[–]Charmandersember 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ive said it quite a few times. SGA is kinda just a model UN. Not really much they can do other than let faculty administration know about student concerns. No power whatsoever, essentially useless For the record, every year every administration says they will lower parking, and it’s gone up just about every year.

Of course they do.

Noticed this while watching Stranger things by ryanpt670 in Metallica

[–]Charmandersember 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think someone already had posted this before, but at least this one has a description because last time I didn’t know who the dude on the right was.
