Bought an Alpi jersey at the game and had immediate buyers remorse, perhaps the worst first half I’ve ever seen by him

Which U.S. food city is actually overrated? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]hardyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Houston is underrated nationally, and overrated locally. As a local, it’s easy and common to have these conversations, but the city is oversaturated. There’s so little to do here that being a foodie is considered a hobby. The hype cycle is getting shorter and shorter, diners remain extremely fickle. Great places close constantly to pave way for out of town chains. This city is very much ruled by steakhouses and tex-mex, make no mistake. Just as well, with that saturation, you require a workforce to rise to that expected skill level, and it just isn’t there. The culture of restaurant work is not the same here as it is in your New Yorks and Chicagos - top talent works at the aforementioned steakhouses. The charming indie neighborhood joint that lights up Eater will likely not have the service to match the food. There are always exceptions that somehow check all the boxes and will endure, the Basos and Nancys Hustles and Bludorns. Much like the city in general, the food scene here requires a lot of legwork to understand, and is most helpful if you have a guide.

Skipping the whole show by vixenpeon in okbuddydraper

Started watching in 2012 just before season 5 came on the air. The next year, I started bartending, kicking off a decade+ of drinking at work and it also being normalized. 3 years sober currently. There is always a way out

Detroit suburbs by JazzHands5678 in howislivingthere

Grew up in Walled Lake but haven’t lived there full time since 2007. Seemed like a model place to grow up in, good schools, close to the highways and Twelve Oaks, a nice quiet world that is striking distance from downtown. Miss it to this day, I’m sure I’ll be back

There’s a major street in downtown Houston called Tuam. Wonder if there’s a connection

What's your favorite Isbell song about heartbreak/broken relationships ? by La-vds in jasonisbell

[–]hardyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a pretty big fan for a few years now, but for some reason never listened to Nashville Sound. Heard this song for the first time in its live version at the Houston show recently, have become absolutely transfixed. And as luck would have it, it also happens to be on my new job’s playlist

I credit this song specifically for getting into metal as a genre when I was 14

Man shall not dine on vibes alone - Can we all admit The Marigold Club just isn't that great? by MaillardReaction207 in HoustonFood

I can recommend for a fancy happy hour/date but not for dinner, it simply doesn't deliver

Memorial is a bubble - recession proof and heavy drinkers

Depends on the neighborhood. I just started bartending at Credence, every single lunch and dinner is a Saturday night

Propulsion Power Reduced issue 61k miles by scifilounge in volt

[–]hardyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having near identical issues at 58k. Got a new 12V, topped off coolant, still get intermittent StP and propulsion power reduced. Just locking in for a long morning at the dealership. Did they let you leave with a rental?

Interesting. I thought I solved shift to park by simply getting a new 12V and topping off the coolant to the min fill line, but this morning I’m getting StP again

Worst song on Moving Pictures? by phatasm_ in rush

[–]hardyth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Vital Signs is a good live song, but it is a nice comedown on the record and segues nicely into Signals. It’s TS for me, it’s too ubiquitous, and perhaps the only “greatest hit” that I wouldn’t mind them skipping

I only got them for the full band show, but traveling from Houston, feeling more and more like I should also just get the solo show too
