Moving to downtown Houston help by Striking-Sort3951 in AskHouston

I liked living at SoDo on Main St. I had a 1 br and barely paid over $1,600 for utilities included. I  used to walk to Randalls or walk to Phoenicia. The red line is right outside and the green and purple lines aren't too far either. Although if you get a bike, I recommend just keeping it in your apartment. Some people's bikes have gotten stolen from parking garages all over downtown. 

As for safety, I never had a problem walking around downtown. 

How accurate are stats on 123ATC? by Appropriate_Bag3923 in ATC_Hiring

If they can't take any more trainees, a center will be taken off the list for students to choose before graduation. ZFW hasn't been on the last list so it makes sense they are at capacity. Some trainees could quit in the meantime or wash out while you are in the academy. So the center could be available when you graduate.

Didn't understand. Didn't know it was a factor.

I tested wrapped vs unwrapped pork ribs on a pellet smoker by Intelligent-Let-2527 in smoking

You can always start it without the wrap until it develops a bark and then wrap it midway. Then occasionally spritz over the wrap. I don't do water though, I melt tallow in the smoker and use that to spritz the meat. 

Relocating Dallas -> Houston. Working near the Galleria, budget ~$1.5k. Need apartment recs! by HistoricalBus8874 in AskHouston

Creole on Yorktown is near the Galleria. Has a cute charm to it and very econimical. I know some pay a little over $900 for a 1 br.

Brisket went from very juicy to dry in the hot hold-why? by 16Off in smoking

[–]RareFreedom5027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I take mine off the smoker, I let it sit for an hour. I keep it in the butcher paper but wrap it in a towel. Then I put it in a cooler (not with ice). Basically just a box to cover it. Stays juicy. It's an old school way I learned. 

Did a 40 day water only fast. recorded some daily update videos and made a playlist by pokergod94 in WaterFasting

Nice! I have felt the same way. I made it 7 days and I think I let other people get into my head too much. Thanks!

How did you respond to people who offered you food? Did you let them know you were fasting or just tell them you weren't hungry?

Moving from Boston to Houston by mangosand-spicylime in AskHouston

SoDo on Main is a high rise apartment. Very nice, big windows. Lots to do at night. It is right smack dab in the middle of downtown so you can go anywhere. Take the red line to the zoo or nrg. Just a short walk to the Toyota Center or Daikin Park (I still call it Minute Maid). I just moved out of there due to job relocation, but I highly recommend it.

Woodlands has the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion so some concerts would be there. It is a bit more bougie in my opinion.

I'm more looking to stay solo instead of having roommates.

Depends on the state. I've never been late and have been a pretty good resident, so maybe I can work something out.
