I must be a wuss now because Arbys smokehouse jalapeño brisket sandwich is burning a hole through my soul. And I get to spend the rest of my day stuck in my truck with myself. Whoops.

I see the 2016 camaros are a highly acclaimed, will that result in better deals on 2015s sitting on the lot in December?

This was a stupid loving day. I found out my goddamned taxes were never filed. What's the best way for me to do this myself online?

IRS chat: I got a nice notice in the mail a couple months ago from the IRS that I'm still loving with because I did my taxes correctly in 2013 and a place that I do work for after hours decided to report way more than what I charged, so I got audited since my numbers were way lower.. As a result, I no longer do business with that company and I'm waiting on the final word since all my poo poo was in line and they are still trying to figure out their "corrected" numbers. loving people these days..

The new ones are no better than the old ones for streaming content. I have a PS4 and I can't tell a single bit of difference, the 360/PS3's were already fast as hell for anything video.

I generally go with winterforces because they are cheap, goodish, studdable, and decent in mud/dirt as well as snow. In fact I need to bring my new set to work with me along with my winter wheels and get them mounted/balanced soon.

I've been looking at tires for my winter vehicle. I don't really need any, but the ones I got a year ago are used and they're noisy as hell. This always happens on payday, I look for stuff to buy that I really don't need.

Though I do have a kind of good reason to look: These tires are slightly undersized but I needed them in a hurry. But then I say to myself "well if youre buying new tires you should just go for some oversized bro ones" and then suddenly I'm looking at a $600+ dollar purchase.

I think I'm ok with the tires I have.

It's not so much the bike, but the wheels that catch crosswinds. All 78-80mm section wheels are going to do that. Besides, you'll pay $6000 for a Cervelo p4 and still get poo poo-tier wheels :v: My delta6 cost me $3800 out the door. I can't even touch zipp 808's for that kind of price locally, let alone having a full carbon aero bike attached to them. That whole bike used to have an MSRP of $6,000. Honestly, I really like the wheels, but I've grown out of love with those vredestein fortezza tricomps I have on there. Conti GP for life. I have a set of 25mm gp4k2's on my EA70sl's and I love you all for recommending them. They make chip& seal a non-issue. I have had a cervelo s2 with zipp 404's as an aspirational purchase in my head for almost a decade now. I won't do it because I'd feel like a loving tool/dentist for riding a bike so awesome while being a slow, fat slob.

Those shivs look loving awesome and the whole water bottle in the downtube thing is amazing. I love specialized for the attention to detail. My e5 looks loving flawless. I have entertained taking it to work and scanning the bottom bracket with my CMM to check it's cylindricity.

There's 4 or 5 locations around Austin. The original on Kerbey is the best, of course.

Yeah uh Rudy's expanded outside of Austin years ago. They do have good BBQ, but I know a couple of mom and pop places (not in Austin unfortunately) that put them to shame.

Pham, look for Torchy's Tacos as well (they've expanded outside of Austin in the past few years, but they're still a Texas-only thing aside from Denver). They're kinda pricey, but well worth it. My favorites are the chicken fajita, and the brushfire (w/out sour cream). The brushfire is jalapenos, mangos, and jerked chicken, plus a side of habanero sauce. :flame: If you'd rather stay meat-free, they have the independent - fried portabella mushrooms, black beans, corn, carrots, queso fresco, avocado.... loving delish.

Freebirds Burritos is also good, but you may have that in ABQ by now.

And don't you dare leave without hitting up Waterloo Records.

It's pretty easy to injure yourself with cardio. Especially knees and ankles. Every time I start jogging/running again, I always wind up loving up my ankles for a few days, and also wind up with shin splints from hell. :sigh:

It is, but most cheap cables have the wires break off inside of the micro USB end long before the male plug wears out. That or the plug is cheaply made and starts falling out after only a month or two.

But that point is why I always buy charges with detachable cables now - at least that way I can just swap the cable instead of throwing away the charger.

In a situation where it happened after exercise, and was delayed, even, I wouldn't worry too much. If you are concerned, don't go to an ER, but instead go to an urgent care (if you're in the US). Generally shorter wait times, and a much, MUCH smaller bill if it's nothing.

Nah, right side, lower ribs towards the back and definitely 'outside-ish' where the muscles are (lats I believe). I've been working on those core muscles and I upped the weight on the last set today (of some sideways twisting exercise that I don't know the name of), which was apparently a mistake. I'll see how it feels in the morning and go from there.

Unfortunately they don't drop ship, and the difference is not very much. Discount tire ships for free, so after paying for shipping from tirerack it's only like $20 less.
