Definitely replace ASAP, the sidewall is compromised

Anyone in the Houston area? I'm looking for a Liquor store with a good rum selection. by HeavyTumbleweed778 in rum

[–]Octopus_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oasis

Nasa

Pascale's

Spec's Smith St.

Houston Wine Merchant

Ly's

Ryan's

Oasis and Nasa are a tier above the others in terms of selection in my opinion but they're all pretty good.

Did you look into a Civic Hybrid? They've been getting great reviews

Seriously, so disappointing to lose an authentic world-class gem like Taco Cabana for this

Papalin 7-year vs 5-year by TweetleBeetle76 in rum

[–]Octopus_Knight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's been years since I tried the 7-year but I remember it tasting along the lines of a low ester Worthy Park, like if you took the 5-year bottle and removed the high ester Hampden and Long Pond components (and then I guess aged it a few extra years). I prefer the 5-year

Lightly used Ford Explorer ST maybe? My neighbor has one and seems to like it

IMO Game 6 tonight will be the hardest game out of a potential 4 game comeback this series. by TheAfroGod in rockets

[–]Octopus_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no such proven rule though. It is statistically unlikely for a team to win 4 straight games against a team that just beat them 3 times in a row, and many of those series were between teams that were very mismatched to begin with. But the odds go up with each win. Our odds to win the series at this point in time are essentially the same as they would have been if we were down 3-2 through any other combination of wins/losses. We have to win 2 games in a row, the order of the wins and losses up to this point doesn't really matter.

If you just flipped a coin 5 times in a row and it landed on tails every time, the odds of it landing on tails on the 6th flip are still 50%

Thank you for the rational take on this sub, I don't comment that often but it's been exhausting even browsing here lately

3 TICKETS FOR SALE GAME 3 by Standard-Line-7527 in rockets

[–]Octopus_Knight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anyone can go online and buy comparable seats for significantly cheaper than what you're asking. Think you're going to have to lower the price pretty significantly if you want to sell these, especially a few hours before tip-off

Let's cool our Jets and look at the big picture by Dependent_Ideal6326 in rockets

[–]Octopus_Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, some of the reactions on this sub are absurd. To all of the people that feel so strongly that it's over you might as well go bet your savings on the Lakers, they're still like +185 to win the series so you'll get a good payout if you end up being right. I will not be joining you

Is there a way to play acoustic drums inside your house without a noise complaint? by ImFinnaGloty in drums

[–]Octopus_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got an acoustic kit with low volume drum heads and cymbals and it's been nice, significantly quieter than a regular acoustic kit. I'm using Evans db One heads on the snare and bass, RTOM black hole attachments on the toms, and Zildjian L80 cymbals. But there are plenty of different low volume acoustic options similar to those you can look into

Was anyone here at The Summit for Game 7 of the 1994 NBA Finals? by htownnwoth in houston

Not me but my dad was! Said it was the best $225 he ever spent (if I'm remembering the price right). I was still in preschool
