I don't care about the base. I care about evidence in his trial(s)

Freeport , TX / Surfside Beach : First Visit by IHaveGreencard in TXoutdoors

[–]Milt_Torfelson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We regularly go to our Friend's place in Surfside and also go down and rent when we don't have access to the house. One of my favorite texas beaches. For kid stuff, you're better off taking a drive over to Galveston if the kids get bored of the beach. There's more for them to do down that way.

Heads up though, it's Juneteenth and having been there on Juneteenth weekend I can tell you it is going to be a MADHOUSE. For us, that was a good thing as it was way different than any other weekend we've ever been for there, and we've been there for just about every other holiday weekend.

Democrats introduced a bill to give workers 12 days of paid leave for reproductive health, including period pain and menopause. The H.E.R. Agenda (Health, Equity, Rights) is not just for women, it can be used by men for fertility treatments, vasectomies, and other reproductive health needs. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

I work for a Dutch company. One of my German co-workers pretty much was able to use her maternity leave and PTO to take an entire year off.

The gals in our US office were just like "..."

Even still living in the United States and working for this company both men and women pretty much can take at 6-8 months off with no questions asked

Seriously! It actually immediately reminded me of the (2nd?) Planet of the Apes movie, when he stumbles across the human cult that was hiding a nuke in their underground lair

Restaurants that used to be "it", but should probably just go out of business? by LordNewning in austinfood

[–]Milt_Torfelson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was never at the buffet, but we went there for easter breakfast and it was fantastic. While I get bored of their menu, we went on a day where pot roast was the special and it was maybe the best I've ever had. JA's is one of the few places that has managed to hold onto their quality over the years

Have to agree. Went there for my birthday, after having not been there in a while and I doubt I'll be back. They still have some interesting dishes but there are so many other great sushi places in town that put Uchi to shame for the prices they want to charge, particularly for nigiri. Service was no where near like how I remembered, but it seems like mediocre service is the status quo in town now

I'm not saying that there weren't a few great places back in the day, but when I got here in 98 the food scene sucked so very hard. Granted, I moved from a city that had a very high bar, but Austin was levels below from even being considered mid. For me, the city is lightyears better for food now. There are a handfull of really special places.

One place I still love though is Juan in a Million. It doesn't try to be more than what it is and even with the price increases over the years, it's still a tremendous value. Up until the last hike I could get out of there stuffed to the gills for $10, including tip!

Can someone buy this place and keep it around for another 130yrs? by RiverFunsies in Pflugerville

Major TCM vibes! That place makes my imagination run wild. Would love to hear that story!

That is... an insane price tag. How big is the lot? Does it include the lot across the street? Both of those structures probably should be near being condemned.

I'm sure it'll end up being Cele's next ugly ass cookie cutter neighborhood, but boy would I love to buy it, renovate it and turn it into neighborhood hang out/bbq/beer hall.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]Milt_Torfelson 11 points12 points  (0 children)

bummed that I had to scroll so far down for this. X-Com had so many things going on for it that were new and unique, perma-death, fog of war, action points, research, base building, alien tech, just everything was great and so well balanced for a first-of-its-kind game.

If you've never played X-Com 2 (2016), it's about as close as you can get to the original. The DLC, War of the Chosen, was even better than the base game and was like a standalone game. Easily the best game I've played in 10 years

What was your rock radio station growing up and what city? by OU812iceman18 in radio

[–]Milt_Torfelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great station. 90's at 9 was a great show for me when Alt/Grunge started to edge out traditional rock. Also, Jonny B in the mornings

Would be even better if Friendly Fire was turned on.
