Midland?
Venezia in Midland is pretty good Italian and they have the best wine list in W Texas. Cork & Pig in Odessa or if they’re full go next door to the Red Oak Kitchen (same kitchen).

Fuck Brett Yormark
Interesting. Not sure I recall hearing that the SEC initially reached out to Texas or it was the other way around. Don’t believe I’ve heard that before.

I’ve bought more valves than you’ve thought about in your lifetime but wondering why this thread has gone down a completely uninteresting tangent.

Houston Astros off-season thread
Funny that Altuve’s first home run as an Astro was an inside the park shot where he ran through the stop sign at third.

Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crashes killing 157
Appreciate these posts @Ghost of LL. I remember talking to an aerospace engineering buddy of mine when we were in school in the 80's: It's more thermally efficient to accelerate a lot of air a little bit than to accelerate a little bit of air a whole lot. So high bypass engines were/are the wave of the future. I remember seeing the 777 for the first time and marveling at the large diameter of the engines relative to the diameter of the fuselage. Now it's commonplace to see those on all airliners. Those CFM engines on the 737Max are crazy looking.

The Argentina Thread
I had this same experience in Venezuela regarding the “street” exchange rate. Also, don’t know if this is the case in Argentina but in some African countries a crisp brand new $100 bill brought a better exchange rate than any other denomination. Don’t bring old wrinkly notes.

A buddy of mine broke his ankle falling off a set of rollers. They take some getting used to and skill. Never tried it myself.

The Surly Road Cycling Thread
I've ridden on the road in traffic for 30+ years. You have to act like a car, pay careful attention to what the cars are doing around you, and yes, to turn left, check over your left shoulder, and when it's clear, move to the left turn lane.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
Well that sucks. Looks like Chinese batteries put it out. Is there any vehicle in the US that qualifies for the full $7500? Still like the Mach E though.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
Anybody have first hand experience with the Ford Mach E (electric Mustang crossover)? Thinking about this for my wife’s next vehicle now that the kids are gone. She just drives around suburban Houston and almost never more than 20-30 miles a day. I’m looking for the utility of a straight electric. Don’t like Elon and all his shenanigans, so am not seriously looking at Tesla. Like the idea of the federal rebate. Pros/cons? Seems like an electric fits our mission.

Man, that's not funny and all. Can't imagine drinking a whole "box" of Black Box in one day. The headache the next morning can only be cured by more Black Box. Sorry for that, and the kids' experience.
