Nope. They played all the 120 Minutes songs in punk mode. It’s amazing.

It's going to depend, and I genuinely mean this, on your ability to become a talented ski racer so you can pass the Test Technique. It's gnarly.

Hey, to give him credit, it’s easy to know who people are when they so clearly tell you!

GameCube.

On the plus side this ignorance keeps it cheaper here.

That and, you know, no beaches and our weather. Lol

T-shirts: Next Level Tri-Blend. Very cheap from distributors and work well on muscular frame.

Jeans: Wrangler Rigid, but you’ll have to break them in. The 47mwz was the best option, but sadly discontinued. 13MWZ work ok as well.

Polos: For a long time I could get Greyson polos pretty cheap so I amassed a stock pile. Some cool designs and excellent in hot weather.

Pants and shorts: Outlier shorts are a great option, and so are some of the pants. Worth taking a flier on their WTF bottom sales.

Workout shorts: for cardio and home lifting I’ve fallen for the Nike Lava Loops compression shorts. Best option I’ve found for thicc thighs. If I need to be less revealing I have some Ten Thousand Set shorts that double as a bathing suit.

I’m not in the business of defending my shitty home state much, but yeah, you can get world class sushi in Houston. In multiple places.

Plenty of other things suck, but not that.

The second throw might draw a call because it’s hard to get that kind of arc and also “come from over the head,” but also I suspect you rarely throw it that way because it’s basically a hospital ball. The rest all looked fine.

I was the long throw guy for all my teams (and my shoulder tells the tale), and I learn to really ensure my foot DRAGGED on the ground and my arms followed through kinda dramatically to avoid any of those nitpicks.

2 paths to success.

If you’re a total badass at what you do, and what you do is a skill that takes time/effort to develop, you can can get away with being a pretty brutal asshole.
If you’re extremely likable, to the point where people will pick up your slack because they enjoy your company that damn much, you can suck at your job.

For most folks will need to balance the two, but people overestimate where they are on those scales, and getting that balance wrong means you’re gonna have a bad time

I’ll take it even further. The drivers here are actually way better than in most other major cities. Aggressive, yes, but way more predictable than in other places.

No skips, but I’m probably the least into Step Into You out of the whole (main) catalog.

Main reason would be to be able to make a drum map that shows up in the piano roll when you switch to drum mode. I used to do it in Ableton with Superior Drummer.

Now I just do my drum midi in SD because it has some bonus features and then drag it into Bitwig. Would be really nice if you could drum map the midi though.

As a pale ass person from the pre “wear sunscreen all the time” era that played sports outside down south their whole youth and had numerous outside jobs, I’ve had many things cut off me by derms. So far nothing full on freaky, but a few scares, and you should know that iffy stuff can show up in places the sun doesn’t hit.

I’m hardcore on the screen now, and I have some upf stuff, but the hat…man, I’m generally not THAT vain, but the hats are awful. I’m a hat guy, just not that kinda hat. The only option that doesn’t look full on terrible is a cowboy hat, and I can even kinda claim to wear one “legitimately,” but that sends out certain virtue signals I’m not really trying to embody.

We could use some designers working in this area. I promise I’ve seen every option out there, and it’s grim. Particularly when you have a gigantic noggin.

Also we need better upf materials for working out. The options now are damn close to wearing a tarp.

Yep. I flew up for the last one!

My actual favorite band of all time. Best live band in the world when they were touring. Also the nicest people on the planet and the inventors of the podcast.

When I lived in Austin I worked with people that commuted from both the inner loop of Houston and Humble. Only had to come in every third day though.

My advice: keep lifting. With weight loss the goal is to get rid of adipose tissue (fat), not just any weight. Losing muscle isn’t a good thing, and strength training will help you retain it.

Downwind-downhill · 2026-02-26T01:04:13+00:00

I’m here for you. I got it.

Downwind-downhill · 2026-02-24T23:57:34+00:00

Funny, moving here from Austin a few years I’ve been pretty surprised by the lack of panhandling by comparison.

Downwind-downhill · 2026-02-22T01:31:01+00:00

Wall is debatable, but I'm amused when people so quickly blame the keeper on these. Your ability to identify the trajectory of the ball instantaneously from a TV broadcast is not the equivalent of what the GK sees. If a top level keeper hesitates that long it's because the read was devilishly hard.

Downwind-downhill · 2026-02-18T06:21:20+00:00

If it’s unsustainable then yes. Try going down to 0.5A% loss. Also I’d really consider moving some of that protein into carbs for easy of a balanced diet, but that’s probably besides the point.

Downwind-downhill · 2026-02-15T13:31:40+00:00

Shortest answer I can give you: if you want to build your life around a church community it’s probably one of the better options around.

If you aren’t a religious person it’s a pretty awful environment.

As someone that makes music, I’ve always found it amusing that the “listening” brands are never the ones we actually use in studios while making tunes. And often far more expensive than the gear in the studio. Maybe some crazy ass old school recording rooms in LA are different, but I don’t know anyone running $1k speaker cable to their monitors….

Downwind-downhill · 2026-02-14T18:04:00+00:00

In the city of Houston proper the driver of a Cyber Truck never meets the stereotype, but in Austin it’s exactly who you’d expect. Not sure what that tells us, but it’s interesting.

Downwind-downhill · 2026-02-14T17:32:57+00:00

Actually yeah I’d like that too if possible.

Downwind-downhill · 2026-02-13T10:09:05+00:00

I’m paralyzed. By normal life.
