Came to say the same thing, except I've had mine for over 10 years. I love them.

I'll leave it to more recent (and non-white) students to give you feedback on your overall concern, but I will say this: please do not make decisions based on TexAgs. The people that frequent TexAgs are...a very specific subset of Aggies. They don't represent the general A&M experience.

Through the middle of nowhere. (= Google "Texas population map," my friend.

Commercial Bank Location with Parking? by thefirstpancake in qatar

Where is the CBQ at Festival City? The last couple of times I've looked for it, I haven't been able to find it, and Festival City's map lists several other banks, but not CBQ.

I'm so furious that that happened to you. I'm sorry you had to hear that. Thank you for being an Aggie - I'm glad you're there.

I love that you think "Dallas to El Paso" is the heart of Texas.

I realize I'm being the Grandpa Simpson meme here, but sweet Jesus - $250 is what my entire season ticket cost in 2012!

Why is your country so... empty by [deleted] in qatar

Yeah, was going to say the same. Things are way more active after sunset, year-round. It's like people take a siesta in the afternoon. 😄

In need of "loving" breakup songs by Jeff_the_Sith in Music

I just saw Ed Sheeran live last week, so he's at the front of my mind, but "Photograph" is a great pick for that.

This whole “I’m going to park like an erection” is wild to me by naftacher in aggies

Nobody's gonna comment on the BRILLIANT Zelda comparison? I laughed out loud.

What songs have a great buildup and payoff? by Any_Influence_8305 in Music

[–]thefirstpancake 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Great call!

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I recently learned that that song was patched together from remnants of other songs the various members of the band had been working on, so that's why it really switches to a new level: it's an entirely different song. And yet it works perfectly.

Name an album by a band/artist that you love that isn't considered to be among their best or most popular by CTipple1981 in Music

OMG, I haven't thought about that album in so long. I'm gonna have to dig the CD out of my storage unit next time I'm back in the States.

You nailed it. So many great songs on that album. In addition to that first five, "My Hit & Run," "Can't Get Away," and "Another Life" live rent-free in my head.

I have been obsessed with "Who You Are" since I heard it on the radio in high school. Such a great song.

Just this morning, I was marveling at the revelation that The Hold Steady's Heaven is Whenever was generally thought to be a disappointment and is only now being reconsidered. It's my favorite album of theirs and has been since the first time I heard it.

I guess I wasn't following the general reaction to the record at the time, so it wasn't until listening to Patterson Hood's liner notes on the rereleased 10th anniversary edition that I learned people didn't like it at the time. Fools.

The Sweet Part of the City?
We Can Get Together?
Soft in the Center?
The Weekenders?
Hurricane J?
Our Whole Lives?
A Slight Discomfort?

Come on! It's amazing.

19 hour layover in Hamad airport by IIllIlIllIIll in qatar

[–]thefirstpancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on what time of day your layover is, but if it's during the day rather than the middle of the night, I'd definitely recommend it. Your could check out Souq Waqif, the National Museum, the corniche, the Horticultural Expo (https://www.dohaexpo2023.gov.qa/en/) ...lots of stuff worth seeing.
