I'll have you know a cold Shiner Ruby Redbird on a hot summer day is about as close as you can come to a perfect beer. But yea, in most other cases they've been outclassed by Austin Beerworks and Real Ale Brewing Co. EDIT: computer parts posted:State beverage is Shiner and/or Dr Pepper. Obviously it's Dr Pepper, because even the teetotaling Baptists can enjoy it.

Related, in NY Uber Alles will let you heil a ride. http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2016/05/02/technology/02reuters-new-york-uber.html?smid=tw-share quote:Uber drivers in New York state have formed an association to strengthen their hand in dealing with the ride-sharing service, labor leaders said on Sunday, days after the company agreed to a $100 million settlement with drivers in two other states.

Did they ask him if he'd run if Cruz was the prime minister of France? How about if he was the latest Teletubbie?

Oh hey, discovered this thread as I sort through the literal dozen glossy mailers that Ridesharing PAC has sent to me since I last got my mail. Immediate instinct is to vote No. Assuming I'm closer to a UKMT commie than a fart-huffing lolbertarian, is this the correct course of action c/d

I live in Houston and just woke up to a robodial from Uber asking me to tell my friends in Austin to tote vote for Uber. I hope Travis Kalanick does something stupid enough to send him to jail. I don't think I've ever wanted someone to be as utterly destroyed as I want him to be.

Aliquid posted:Today's the day to tell them to go gently caress themselves. Anyone got a vote prediction? I'm a bit worried. I think No will carry the day, but I've seen a lot of people on Facebook either saying they were voting Yes, or they were going to avoid voting "because both sides have been so terrible" That said, the Yes people seem to be more worried than the No people. (Then again, that makes me worried that more Yes people will show up to vote because of that worry.)

Like, best-case scenario, it's the family of someone who owns one of the recommended restaurants and absolutely no one had a thought in their head as they staged the photo. Worst case, they are trying to go for some kind of "message" and being complete idiots about it (because the cover restaurant review issue is where we can finally solve racism, of course).
