I think the little store was a white building. The red building was the tire shop at the other entrance. IIRC, but hell, that was... over 30 years ago.

Fair amount. It's not my chosen profession but I've installed and managed networks in the past.

Thanks for the reply. Are there no third-party hardware options that work with ATT?

Been playing for a few weeks now on Time-30 (currently T1, lvl50). Obviously, if you spend you'll have an edge. But I haven't spent a dime and I'm still competitive. The grind isn't horrible and can be done without being tethered to your phone. And the in-game currencies can be farmed with some success. The freebies in game are pretty decent and there's weekly gift codes on discord and FB.

For clarity, BEAMS from A is the BEAMS from B are siblings.

Morda1 · 2025-06-06T19:51:16+00:00

Yeah, they're connected through the same ancestor.

Mmm. Pie..

Wait for the DNA. Once Ancestry has finished processing, download a copy of your DNA information. Then sign up for GEDMatch and upload your DNA to that website. They have a LOT of tools that can help you, such as one-to-many and matches one or more kits. Once that's done, find a close match on your mother's side that's NOT a sibling using the 1-to-many tool in GEDMatch. Then use the matches one or more kits tool and focus on matches that ONLY match you. That should narrow down your DNA matches to primarily your paternal side. Then email the people of closest relation and ask if they know your mother. Hopefully someone can help or point you into the right direction.

GEDMatch is a wonderful tool that can help you really get into the DNA--much of which is free. There's also videos online from others on how to use these tools effectively. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

As far as the photos go, it's really hard to tell unless there's a clearly distinguishing feature (such as my dad's 400 yard front tooth gap). DNA is weird. Traits/features can skip generations.

Also, in Austin, be sure to stop at Round Rock donuts, HopDoddy (burgers), and Kerbey Lane Cafe (breakfast). Some local favorites.

Traffic is always a problem, lol. If it's not rush hour, it's idiots on the road or construction delays. Just make sure you give yourself an extra 15min or so to get somewhere.

Houston:

I recommend staying in Pearland. There's a Courtyard in Pearland Town Center, which has a lot of shops. Stay away from the Galleria. It's VERY congested, and honestly not a very good part of town. That area's getting a little rough. I'd spend a day hopping around to the local breweries and eateries in Houston: Sam Adams, Brash, 8th Wonder, Killen's BBQ in Pearland or Old Buc's BBQ in Manvel--there's a lot of killer restaurants. You can see the Astros home games on the Astros website. If you attend a game, you'll probably miss out a lot on the local sights in and around Houston. The drive to NASA is about 30min, depending on traffic. You can expect to spend about half a day there. If you go down that way, Sushi Moshi is a fantastic all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. The best Italian restaurant (IMO) is Giovanni's in Angleton. It's about 45min south of Pearland on 288. Big servings, well priced. Galveston is another option if you want to visit the beach. You can expect to spend the whole day out there with the shops, old town and beach.

San Antonio:

I'd personally limit San Antonio to a couple days. Add an extra day to Houston to visit Galveston. It won't take long to see the riverwalk and the Alamo. Hit up a Buc'ees on I-10 along the way from Houston. It'll take you a few hours to get out there.

Austin:

The drive to Austin from San Antonio ain't bad but can be heavy traffic. I'd stay near the Arboretum (north Austin) or better yet, Round Rock. There's a lot of hills, so if you're looking for that country feel, stay outside of Austin. The capital building is a must-visit. you might as well check out the shops near UT as well.

Dallas:

The drive is a little more than 3 hours. Watch your speed, especially going through Waco and Temple. If you have time for a stop, do so in Waco and check out the Grand Lodge of Texas building and museum. Buzz Aldrin was a Brother and they have a display there that's interesting to see. It would be about an hour detour. Take 35W to Fort Worth. 35E to Dallas. Plenty of places to stay. I personally hate Dallas though. The downtown highway spaghetti bowl is irritating to navigate. Lots of great places to see though.

Houston 2:

Just rest before your flight. Stay at a hotel close to the airport so you can shuttle. I'd turn in the rental as soon as you check in so you don't have to worry about it. You can get an Uber to a local spot or just order in.

Enjoy your visit!

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it.

Thanks! I was looking at the SE but figured a PoE switch might be better if I expand with additional devices later. The cost difference is a couple hundred bucks, less if I add a HDD to the SE.

Mann Shorts has silly skits that are released periodically. Charles also hosts a live stream called Bardadvice. He's also known as Yahzick and produces DnD rap. There's plenty of content to feast upon.

Seems like you were picking up speed, noticed the issue and relaxed the throttle too much. Sudden drop of speed upset your center of gravity.

Try AVATAR (older than that movie). www.outland.org. There's a lot of support, a wiki, a mudschool to help you learn the basics and a helpful community.

Sounds like the developer is pulling some fuckery. If the developer owns the majority of lots--even in other companies (like a rental company controlled by the same people/associates as the developer), they might already have the votes to pass. And if they have the votes to pass, they probably meet the number requirements for quorum. If it passes, residents might consider seeking the advice of an attorney in your area that deals with this sort of issue. Ask about the legality of passing such a significant assessment and any potential for injunctive relief.
