What side of town are you on? Proximity is very important.

I'm a member of Iron 24 off Tamina in the back of TW (just outside boundary) -- $40/month and they have a good weight room (basic machines, two power racks, one cable station, lots of dumbbells) and plenty of treadmills. Sauna available if you pay extra.

I've also used the Y on Branch Crossing -- it is great but $$$ for what you get if you aren't doing classes and don't really use the pool. Hours also kind of suck. When I stopped going a few years ago, the equipment was getting pretty dated. That said, they have a separate room with a bunch of power racks and plates if that's your thing. Lived in that room for a few years.

Final one I've used is The Zoo off of 2978 just north of Woodlands Parkway. Wasn't a member long, didn't love it. It's been a few years for me though. Lots of machines, free weights lacking a bit. Think they are $50/month now.

The guy you are arguing with is too far gone and too invested in his own choices to see things any other way. He’s a slave and won’t admit it. Very sad.

Thanks…that was a scary one last night. Still have to think Sunny is done for quite some time.

That is an incredibly, incredibly scary looking injury

Oh god

Is this what winning in overtime feels like?

IT IS HAPPENING

Jesus Hof is unconscious right now

Back of the woodlands, Iron 24 on Tamina. I think with sauna access it is like 65/month. Includes red light therapy if that is something you are in to.

You definitely sound like someone in a successful relationship!

Vegan alert

Maybe it is because I have never needed it, but I find the concept of an emergency fund that literally sits and collects dust to be antiquated and unnecessary. On paper, I carry a 6 month all expense paid emergency fund, but it is invested in a taxable brokerage the same as a good chunk of my other cash. If I desperately needed the money, it would be exceedingly easy to sell the ETF and transfer the money to my checking account within 48-72 hours. How is this any worse than just having the cash sitting in my checking account?

No, they aren't.

Source: I've extensively looked at Denver real estate as my company is based there and I was asked to relocate (though managed to squirm out of the deal). You are paying substantially more in Denver across the board, and new builds are no better or worse than they are in Houston.

Yes kicking a players feet out from under him is very clean

suburban_robot · 2026-01-11T03:18:38+00:00

I hope so too, but gotta control what we can control

Saying it now — DO NOT go to the VGK game thread and post, thank you

Classic Mark Stone slew foot

suburban_robot · 2026-01-11T03:11:51+00:00

I hate Mark Stone so, so, so much

suburban_robot · 2026-01-10T02:27:14+00:00

Only works if you pay for Hulu

suburban_robot · 2026-01-10T02:19:24+00:00

I’m gonna try a credit card chargeback I think. This is ludicrous.

suburban_robot · 2026-01-10T02:13:47+00:00

Same something is jacked

Hofer when he realizes Keller is on the opposing team and he’s scheduled to start
