I'm not saying this is bad, but this is bad.

You get what you fucking pay for.

No... Just travel there weekly for a long time for work. Still have work and employees there. All of the below should be reasonably close. Hospital is not far from your rental. ..well not far for a Texan.

English food and beer: Red Lion British Pub

Chinese food: Pepper Twins

Persian Food: Kasra

Vietnamese food: Old Saigon (have not been but good reviews), my old haunt is under new mgmt so I can't recommend it :(

Cajun food: Bobobs or Cajun Town. I'm sure this will be very contentious but good Cajun food isn't dressy. If you need classy then go Pappadeauxs.

Tex Mex food: Guadalajara Mexican Grille. Pricey but reliable. Otherwise Ninfa's or TJ Birria Y Mas

South American food (Peru): Saldivia's South American Grill (have not been but good reviews)

My other fav's..can vouch through many meals and drinks: North Italia, True Food Kitchen, Oporto Tapas, McElroy's Pub, Poison girl, Agora, Brasil, Common Bond Bistro, Anvil, Harry's Greek, Barnaby's.

I've run out of steam. HMU for any specific questions.

San Jacinto museum. Hard to get to but important to Texas history.

Museums in H town are really good.

Walk around Memorial Park to get some headspace when needed.

NASA. Expensive but worth it.

I'll add some restaurants. It's a great melting pot of food and cultures.

MD Anderson is S tier. Kick cancer's ass.

The only hope I have is that the next generation will bring more love. There is a lot of disenfranchisement due to the changes over the last 40 years. The lasting effects of coal and steel work reduction, offshoring of jobs, minority rights improving, immigration changing demographics. All of these have been very strange and alarming for a lot of people my age and older. It's all normal to my kids though.

You're right tho. Empires rise and fall. The whole world is fucked if we've hit our peak.

Haven't seen that in awhile. Well done. Solid banger. As it were.

I normally don't like to admit this but you're right. OP needs to move.

I really like the quote about drawing lines versus circles. I've always believed Jesus' teaching to love one another is the core of Christianity.

Wait.... So they fly this stuff all the way from Canadia to Mexico and then have the Guatemalans sneak across our open borders into Texas to kill kids? Ohhhhhh. Now I got it.

 
 

I installed a screen protector for the first time on Monday. I've been having issues getting my fingerprint to work and just would use my pin to unlock. This morning Android popped up a notification saying "Using a screen protector? Click here to increase touch sensitivity!" Pretty awesome.

Now stop asking me to use Gemini.

 

I was going to drop my kid off at school when a dog ran between two cars and my back tire ran over a portion of the dog. I slowed down and stopped not knowing what to do and watched the dog hop up and hobble away into an adjoining back yard. What seemed to be the owner followed the dog into the back yard. I immediately pulled over but had to roll up my windows as my dog was riding along. I waited a few houses away not really knowing how to react and asking my kid what she thought I should do. When the dog quickly wandered off she wasn't sure how I should act either.

What do I do? My initial hesitancy is tied to the dog quickly walking away into what looked like it's home and the owner slowly following it away. I'm concerned of getting into the middle of a highly emotional situation if the dog needs to go to the vet. If the dog lay lifeless I would have had no issue with getting out and consoling as needed. Is there a difference? I think also am concerned I'll get told I'm responsible and need to help cover any vet costs.

 

Corporations now buy the carpet bomb factory to expand their bomb product line and then carpet bomb their own factory after the war is over.

 

This may be out there already, but it seems like I have seen multiple teaser trailers (including Trailer 1 for Gladiator 2) that seem to have terrible writing and terrible voice overs that sound like AI.

 

Anyone have a reliable URL for KERA? Something changed a few months ago and I can't find a link that'll work in my XIIA internet streaming app.

 

Bummer that this place went up in flames. Hoping it didn't significantly damage surrounding buildings and offices.

 

I am selfishly promoting the Lemmy.world page for KTCK Ticket listeners. Not sure how many have come over recently but feel free to check it out. It's pretty threadbare since I am trying to do too many things at once, but you have to start somewhere.

 

But here's to hoping this /c/ will gain critical mass!
