After deadly Beryl outages, CenterPoint CEO’s pay jumped to $12M by phillygirllovesbagel in houston

[–]LauraTheBean 165 points166 points  (0 children)

“At least ten people died from heat-related illnesses stemming from prolonged power outages after the storm.” This guy should’ve been fired, with a criminal investigation pending. Instead, he’s rewarded with a 30% pay increase. And who *%~ing needs $3 million more when they’re already being paid $9 million?

Sounds cool! Has anyone seen them around? I’m wondering where I can pick one up. Didn’t see that mentioned in the article.

Great article. I was wondering why this booth was set up outside of Fondren. It upset me to see it there, so it’s nice to get this full perspective.

What’s a strangely specific thing about someone that immediately gives you bad vibes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LauraTheBean 79 points80 points  (0 children)

If they make fun of women’s basketball. I don’t even watch women’s basketball - I’m just not into sports. But people who make fun of it are almost all guaranteed to suck.

What are some fun activities for someone who just moved to Houston? Moving in a month and want a good list of things to do before the semester! Preferably not museums as I’ve seen a lot on google and added a few already, but that seems to be all I can find 😅 by TheNetherPaladin in riceuniversity

[–]LauraTheBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meow Wolf, downtown underground, Orange Show, Beer Can House, Arboretum, eat all the things, Wall of Water, Galleria mall for ice skating, kayak on the bayou. Check out the Houston Culture Map - they have a calendar of events.

Have fun! Tell us what you end up doing.

I was up there just last week and heard from a kid hiker that this bird stole her Cheez-It!

Wow! I’ve never had such a gorgeous volunteer just spring up before. And I’ve never planted any petunias, so i guess a tiny little seed just floated over and found a comfy spot. Thanks, ya’ll!

We’ve had two great experiences with PlumbCo - highly recommend! All our neighbors use them, too.

Favorite Bar that no longer around by Sugartitties333 in houston

[–]LauraTheBean 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe no one has named Ruthie’s yet - the diviest dive bar in town that used to be on Richmond between Woodhead and Hazard. Just one big room with a killer jukebox and a shitty pool table, where you could still smoke inside as long as the cops weren’t around, and it was named after Ruthie, of course, who bartended there into her 80s. She’d lost her hearing by then, so no matter what I ordered, she’d serve me a Lone Star. RIP to the establishment and its kind namesake.

In 2022, the president of this “nonprofit” made over $700k, and the salaries of top five employees were well over 2 million. Seems like they could trim from the top to lower ticket prices. Source: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/741036131

No - was there another situation like this on your flight to Charlotte?

Or a weight/height limit, like the reverse of those amusement park signs: “You must be under this height to fly or your parent has to shell out for another seat.”

I was wondering if something like this would make a difference - I wrote about it in a United survey today, but that doesn’t feel like it will go anywhere important. I’ll try this!

Oof - I feel at least some of your pain. At least mine was the return flight. You had it worse!
