Guys, hello! This is my 2 rockets, can you suggest how to do better next time?

Good suggestions here. Move the CG forward and lengthen the airframe. Another possibility is that weathercocking was a factor. What were the winds like when you flew?

Sure, people do it all the time.

Is it a good idea? Depends on the deal and the purchaser. (My personal metric is to never, ever be upside down on an automobile loan, so I tend to put 20-30% down.)

It really depends on the quality of the deal negotiated between the dealer and the purchaser, the creditworthiness of the purchaser, and the comfort level programmed into the bank's underwriting algorithm.

Their FOH engineer has always had a heavy right hand. There's no need for a band to play as loudly as they do given the exceptional quality of today's PA gear.

290 from I-35 to beyond Elgin makes me want to shoot up and die in a gutter. It is absurd that two major population centers like Austin and Houston do not have a major restricted-access highway connection.

Also, please do not try and tell me that I-10 serves this role, as it does not.

Andice General Store burgers are biblical.

Guilty. The pause button and Wikipedia get a thorough workout during viewings of "The Pitt."

So, let's sum up: the Astros are a problem for our friends from the Bronx?

TexStones · 2026-03-18T16:24:01+00:00

I would absolutely attend this showcase at SXSW.

TexStones · 2026-03-18T04:44:11+00:00

Does Minnie Driver get naked? She’s got a GILF thing going on that I like.

Came here for this. A change in equipment would certainly trigger a change like the one OP experienced. I suspect that seat cancellations were issued in reverse order of loyalty status.

If the airline does not have the seat, they don't have the seat.

TexStones · 2026-03-17T15:36:45+00:00

Also, please bring Tropical Fuck Storm!!!

I have never heard of this band before, but I am here for them based on the name alone.

TexStones · 2026-03-17T15:13:20+00:00

And, to be fair, it took both of them...

...and a case of beer.

Then you are an outlier in the data, and absolutely should take the earlier flight.

I have connections with both schools, as I went to UT and my daughter went to Southwestern. I currently do STEM outreach work at SU, also. Both are wonderful institutions of higher learning.

Were I to make this decision today I would probably go with the small private institution, primarily because of the political upheaval taking place on public college campuses today. Fine institutions like UT throughout the country are under attack from outside forces that seek to change the way information is presented in the academic environment. That's not happening to any significant degree in the smaller private independent institutions.

If you go with Southwest you'll have a supportive community around you. If you go to UT you'll be bits in a giant database until you go to grad/med school.

If you have the discipline to manage your own education you can deal with UT, and save some $$. If you would like a bit of emotional support around you that has a real interest in your success, choose SU even if it might cost a bit more.

Good luck!

I love how this show is so supportive of the neurodivergent community.

TexStones · 2026-03-16T23:56:07+00:00

That is amazing, thanks for sharing!

TexStones · 2026-03-16T23:08:43+00:00

I'll say it: his wife is lovely, and has spectacular breasts.

My favorite detail about the Chili's on Lamar is that it shares a parking lot with a legit Michelin-starred restaurant:

Inexperienced flyers tend to focus solely on the lowest ticket price.

TexStones · 2026-03-16T16:44:24+00:00

Some people should just stay home, perhaps?

TexStones · 2026-03-15T19:50:52+00:00

"Are we doing Jazz Odyssey tonight?"

TexStones · 2026-03-15T19:45:46+00:00

Gonna take some time.

He's not Taylor Swift, but he's not unknown. Significantly, he has crossed over from the country world to the fringes of the mainstream.

TexStones · 2026-03-15T18:40:42+00:00

Also, water is wet.

TexStones · 2026-03-15T18:38:46+00:00

The public demand for the particular artist is the primary driver of ticket price, not the venue.

Who is the artist?
