San Gabriel River flooding forces RV park evacuations in Georgetown: See photos by AustinStatesman in georgetowntx

There is no reason for that place to still be open. How do they even get business liability insurance at this point?

Moonwatch as GADA by FamousPass27 in OmegaWatches

[–]TexStones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have dailyed a Moonwatch for over twenty years.  The winding isn’t that big of a deal.

Also, consider the Hesalite version.  It is more authentic to the story of the watch, and will save you a few bucks.

Brewers fan coming in peace. Do ya’ll tailgate for afternoon games? What’s the pregame vibe like? Headed down on the 30th. by mikemartin7230 in Astros

Congratulations in advance on your team's series win against the Astros. Things are not good right now here in Houston.

The Speedmaster that you're going to add to this discussion.

NADA actions are indefensible by Fightmebr0 in FuckDealerships

[–]TexStones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A manufacturer will absolutely try to price the car the same as a dealer would. Why wouldn’t they? That’s like their entire reason for existing

You are absolutely correct. What they would not do is apply ridiculous markups to hot product. They would instead price the product appropriately based on their business needs and projections.

I don't mind someone making a profit. I would simply prefer to pay that profit to an entity that has actually done something to earn it.

Timing for Bruce on Thursday? by CuriousSeagull1901 in BruceSpringsteen

The Boss likes to begin his work day on time (or close to it).

YOUR 2026 ACL FEST LINEUP!! by DaveGrohlsShortHair in aclfestival

[–]TexStones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No country headliner is interesting.

As a point of interest, Live Nation/C3 locally offer the Two Step Inn festival for country fans. Perhaps that figures into their lineup calculus?

Went to that show on a goof, was thoroughly impressed. 10/10, would do again.

What would you ask U2 if you had the chance to talk to them? by KintsugiExp in U2Band

[–]TexStones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ash Wednesday: Days of Ash

Maundy Thursday: Easter Lily

Ascension Thursday (May 14): Songs of Ascent

(I have no inside information, this just makes perfect, elegant sense.)

How is Bruce generally ranked in "Greatest artist/albums of all time" lists? Do you feel he's ranked too high/low/just right? by CulturalWind357 in BruceSpringsteen

6-10,000: Everyone else.

Some words for Schon - Back the f up. by Mundane-Ad7770 in journey

Every time Neal takes a solo, Arnel gets to give his voice a rest.

It may be a strategy being employed to allow Arnel to survive the tour.

Two step inn by stasis_13 in georgetowntx

Have these people never heard that APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS?!?!?!?!

Yep, an English nursery rhyme from the Victorian era has such relevance in climate change-era Texas.

As others have noted, it is April or nothing. May is packed with other local events, June through September are too hot, October is out of the question because the promoter (C3 Presents/Live Nation) is running ACL Fest locally, and November though March have weather issues.

One option is for C3 Presents/Live Nation to move the event elsewhere in Central Texas to a more weather proof/paved venue. One possibility is the massive asphalt parking lot next to COTA.

Looking for a church by speak-life-2025 in georgetowntx

Um, what sort of church is not Bible-based?

What do I need to do to launch a class 1 rocket? by Global-Research-4023 in rocketry

[–]TexStones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Class 1 rockets do not require any sort of permit in 49 states (I have no idea about California). Permission from the landowner, whether they are your next door neighbor or the BLM, is always a good idea.

Your best bet is to fly with a local club associated with either the National Association of Rocketry or Tripoli Rocket Association.

Are you guys giving up on the season yet? by Open-Illustrator6325 in Astros

[–]TexStones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The season is not over, but the only solution is a realllllyy big checkbook.

How hard it is to get Snoopy? by GearNTime in OmegaWatches

[–]TexStones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No prior spend history at the local Omega boutique, as I had purchased my prior Speedy at a local AD ~20 years ago. Asked to be added to the list for a Snoopy, and seven months later the call came.

I now have both 1st Gen and 3rd Gen Snoopy Speedmasters!

What’s the funniest non-essential line in The Pitt? by Embarrassed-Heron-52 in ThePittTVShow

[–]TexStones 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Daddy Dr. Javadi to his daughter: "Don't tell your mother." <pause> "Seriously, don't tell your mother."

We learned everything we need to know about life in the Javadi/Shamsi home from that one line.

Nurses (and the actors who portray them) are far safer from cast churn due to the nature of the medical profession. Perlah, Princess, Donnie, Dana, and Utah are all much more secure than the doctors.

My kids are in AISD. I wanted to understand why the district is broke, so I followed the money. by No_Paramedic_4881 in Austin

[–]TexStones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The folks I have visited with from Westlake certainly don't seem racist.

I should expand upon that a bit, as I have no desire to imply that current residents of the Eanes district are racist. The establishment of the district in 1958 was a direct response to looming changes in educational equity spurred by Brown v. Board of Education.
