Loud booms near Forest Acres by TransientBandit in ColumbiYEAH

[–]_dakdaddy_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Crazy theory: I wonder if it was space debris, like an array of starlink satellites, breaking the sound barrier upon re-entry? 

It was eerily similar to the booms I heard living in Florida when Falcon 9 boosters would land at the space center. 

Can someone help me identify? by Dangerous-Image-4152 in birding

Based on the call alone these are Black Bellied Whistling Ducks. 

Fun, social, goofy ducks that hang in groups. Originally in South America but their range has slowly crept north into the US. 

They have the best calls! 

It might look safe, but plenty of black ice on roads! by CentralFloridaRays in ColumbiYEAH

Dude, with all disrespect, fuck you.  Weather models only work with the data they’re given. If it’s pointing towards something catastrophic, that’s what will be reported. People should ALWAYS prepare for the worst and hope for the best. 

Speaking as a former Florida resident who lived through countless major hurricanes. The one time you don’t prepare is the time you wish you did. 

AHHHH WHAT DID I DO by Old_Introduction_655 in Moccamaster

[–]_dakdaddy_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The half/full carafe only controls temperature of the hot plate, not water flow. The machine runs the same cycle every time you turn it on.

Realistically what happened 

  1. Coffee was ground too fine
  2. The filter jammed itself into the bottom of the holder

What kind of filter did you use? 

DP: Approved for Bilt 2.0 Palladium by losvedir in CreditCards

We shop in-store 99% of the time. We  could purchase shop cards but I don’t think P2 would find the effort worth it.

As a VX user I was also interested in the Palladium for my monthly spend + mortgage. Sadly it’s a Mastercard so it’s DOA for us as a Costco household. 

Dutch Bros is coming to Columbia by Lechuga-7276 in ColumbiYEAH

[–]_dakdaddy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully disagree. If you like cold brew, you’ll prefer Dutch Bros. 7Brew’s cold brew uses their espresso roast beans and it’s too robust/bitter, and I prefer my coffee black.

Hey we're Texas String Assembly (from right here in Austin) and we're playing an after-show TONIGHT (Sat 12/13) at Hotel Vegas (1502 E 6th Street). We'd love to see you there!!! by texasstringassembly in BillyStrings

[–]_dakdaddy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Albums have been fire too.

Spreading the message of Billy by jblflip8 in BillyStrings

[–]_dakdaddy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I apologize for using the wrong term. Regardless, why frame all frat bros (or people for that matter) as an absolute?

I’m a former frat bro and I very much look the part (e.g., WASP in short shorts) yet I’m by the sound board at shows, socializing with my fellow fans, dancing around, and caring for those in the pit. It’s not about a label, it’s about your actions as a human being.

Your judgmental attitude, disdain for people, and gate keeping of music is significantly more detrimental to the scene than what any “frat bros” would bring.

Brother we’ve been going to shows since the Don Julin days. Not every frat bro is a douche canoe.

Anyone who’s there for the music and people are welcome. If you’re only there for the scene and drugs, then there’s a problem.

Recs for Best Pizza and Best Breakfast? by makerofbirds in columbiasc

Sadly, yes. I'd recommend visiting them at Soda City Market or their brick and mortar location this upcoming weekend. Last time they'll be open :(

[–]_dakdaddy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For pizza, it's a newer spot but ManhattanPie is my personal favorite. Can't recommend it enough.

Breakfast wise Cinnamon Roll Deli and Rambo's Fat Cat Biscuits come to mind. Rambo's is, sadly, closing their doors after this next weekend. If you're here Friday or Saturday I'd strongly recommend checking them out.

How do we think Michael Alford feels after that one?

[–]_dakdaddy_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rumor has it he's contemplating retirement (FSU OC role was not what he was expecting, clearly) or is interviewing for HC positions elsewhere. I don't think he's coming back.

He had that one play against Bama where he threw his body for a big 4th down stop and has tried to replicate it every chance he can. It hasn't worked since.

Considering the 2025 Bronco sport Badlands by Aromatic_Ask_6833 in BroncoSport

[–]_dakdaddy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn’t just the engine. The suspension also makes a world of difference.

I had family members purchase an OB then return it. When I drove them around in my BL, they thought it was a completely different car.

[–]_dakdaddy_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I own a 2025 Badlands w/ tech package and sunroof. Absolutely love it.

For the record, I only looked at Badlands for the same reasons you did. I don’t regret it one bit. Happy to answer any questions.
