The Beatles - Get Back (by Peter Jackson)
i 100% agree with you on Magical Mystery Tour. It's never an album i put on because i feel like it, but i purposely listened to it and it has some great songs.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
the one in my spa went out already, less than 2 years from install. covered under warranty but still - that doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies once my warranty runs out

Jeep dealer recommendations in the Austin area?
we ended up buying in San Antonio, the Jeep Wrangler Chrysler San Antonio one. just look up inventory, call them up for best pricing, and choose the one that gives you the best price.

DACA, immigration reform whatever
this whole "we want open borders" is so fucking dumb. Again, speaking as a formerly undocumented immigrant, and having conversations with my group, no one supports this shit. contrary to what most of the racists would have you believe, the vast majority of Mexicans would rather live in Mexico than to have to move to an entire new country where they don't understand the language, don't have their food, leave their families behind, etc. The vast majority of my extended family still lives in Mexico and would never even consider moving to the US, much less illegally. My family did not immigrate because they were refugees or fleeing from natural disasters or war. It was an economic situation and the hope for a better life (like the mast majority of Europeans who immigrated to this country). A good first step would be to create a temporary worker's program. You're given a SS number and pay into FICA, SS, and Medicare, and can work a maximum of 6 months in the country. You're allowed to travel back and forth to visit your family in Mexico / Central America whatever. You must stay out of legal trouble or your pass is revoked. Said worker contributes to our economy, paying taxes, and sends money back to his family. THen lives the other 6 months in his own country. After 10 years, you qualify for citizenship along with your immediate family. For those undocumented folks that have been here 10+ years, put them on a path to citizenship. Ensure they've paid taxes (my parents did so even though they were undocumented), you pay a fine, and get on a path to citizenship. But no, the GOP and racists would never go for anything so sensible, because it's racism that's driving these policies at its core.

like others said, you're missing the point, probably willfully. you're the type of Karen that LOVES to complain about all the illegal immigration, but have no problem using them for cheap labor (the very fucking reason they're here in the first place... if there were no jobs, they wouldn't come). Just like Trump, railing against the illegals all while employing them at his own resorts. and the doctors and lawyers and white collar professionals will come... speaking from experience as a formerly undocumented immigrant who graduated UT and does very well for himself. Most of my friends are like this, first generation Mexican-Americans who have graduated UT and doing great things.

typical asshole who complains and bitches about immigrants, but has no issue hiring them because they will do the job better and cheaper. quit being a hypocrite and hire only americans and pay them much more, with a check

Austin neighborhood suggestions
the commute coming out of buda will eat him up alive, but he will be able to find something decent in the $450K range. he won't be able to get jack shit anywhere in south austin for $450K. he can always look in round rock or pflugerville off 130. the commute isn't that bad on the tolls, and he should be able to find something ok for that price range

Yes: Pools are worth it....
I'm saying I didn't want to put my pump through the work of draining an entire pool and risk anything going wrong. Spend $50 to rent a submersible pump from home depot instead, and it drains at a much faster pace than using the waste function on the filter/pump
-
Yes: Pools are worth it....
i did this in the spring and it was easy. go to home depot and rent a submersible pump and do it this way. you don't want to use your expensive ass pool pump to backwash all that water.
