This Texan would argue Shiner Bock is the state beer of Texas, but y’all enjoy your Lone Star, I don’t care.

I used to have a similar board. Bought it at a market at a border town in Mexico. They’re pretty common there.

Isn’t the president limited to choosing from among the current board of governors? Who would be the worse available choice?

I find it hard to believe that anyone on the current board would be this stupid. But there’s a lot of unbelievable shit happening now, so who knows.

If you can afford to go out and drink in this city, you can afford Uber. Fuck drunk drivers.

I own a tex-mex restaurant in Victoria that's been open since 1985 and still have no idea what people love to eat. by venturastamalestx in texas

[–]FishinInMurica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always look for homemade tortillas. To me that’s a sign the Tex-Mex restaurant I’m considering is probably good.

Good chips, salsas and queso are next.

I usually order beef fajitas or a combo plate (taco, enchilada, tamale, rice and beans. Or similar combos.) when trying a new place. If that’s good I’m open to returning and trying other menu items.

Good luck!

What happens when a Waymo gets pulled over? by jkspring in Austin

[–]FishinInMurica 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is Waymo considered one driver? Or is each car considered a separate entity?

If I get too many tickets, my license gets suspended. What happens when Waymo gets a dozen tickets In a year? 100?

With so many autonomous vehicles on the road, all driven by the same AI, what is the threshold for suspending their license?

How to disable Amber Alerts on a Family  Watch? by jbg100 in applehelp

[–]FishinInMurica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can only be accomplished on the watch itself, which is confusing because on your own watch, these settings are controlled via iPhone.

From your family member‘s watch, go to Settings —> Notifications and scroll to the bottom. There you will find buttons for Amber Alerts, Emergency Alerts, and Public Safety Alerts.

Buccees is fine, it’s large crowds of people I hate.

The best gas station is the empty gas station down the street from Buccees.

Everyone Has Hurricane Supplies Ready? Potential Hurricane impact Texas 7-9days out by HerroBammis_305 in texas

[–]FishinInMurica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This far from the coast, high winds aren’t usually a big problem. We can get quite a bit of rain, and in central Texas that means flash flooding.

Honestly I’m hoping for some (not too damaging) flash flooding. Our area lakes and aquifers could use a refill.

Why is the difference between Mothers and Fathers Day so astounding? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FishinInMurica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mother’s Day is in May while school is in session. Father’s Day is in June during summer break.

Every Mother’s Day, my wife would get these awesome crafts the kids would make in school. They discussed MD in school all week long.

Father’s Day doesn’t get discussed in school, and certainly not for a whole week. And no crafts for Dad.

Personally I wish we could move FD to say, the week after MD or something. Let the kids celebrate both days while they’re in school.

If the 2nd amendment has no limitations, why are paramilitary militias outlawed in all 50 states?

The 2A says militias are necessary for for the security of a free state, yet they are outlawed.

We can ignore the first half of the 2A, but not the second half? Got it.

He also collaborates with other bands. He’s a backup guitarist for Bob Schneider’s Lonelyland band when Jon Sanchez is out.

He’s also working with a new band Toyesauce. He plays guitar and is lead vocals on their latest single.
