The cases of water, the dried goods, the stoves and cooking gas and so on? Take all you want! Starting at dawn. Every hotel? Under construction. Living in a neighborhood? The place next door nothing but needle guns and masonry drills all day everyday. If somebody complains too much they just use hammers. I cannot understand how on Earth that is necessary.

Yeah, if the police drive by and something can't be audibly heard to be under construction, a call goes out and an emergency crew of migrant laborers is dispatched to begin hammering immediately until they can get the angle grinder and the drill with the masonry bit on site and powered. An emergency slab is often poured in a corner so that there will be something to drill with the masonry bit if there's nothing available on site.

We’re recording a bunch of content and trying to figure out stuff we can do online, but we’re stymied by the Comms and IT departments at every turn. Curbside has the chance to be a viral vector in and out unfortunately.

Texas just announced schools closed until May 4th (so far). A friend with a wife and three kids at home replied, "Texas to legalize marijuana in April. You heard it here first."

They're basically doing a Hamsterdam at the local parks around here on beer as long as you play your part by not flashing the can/bottle/whatever. I don't have any friends who use regularly, but I didn't think to check on what's going on with, say, dispensaries in CA, CO, etc. I wonder if they're essential businesses the way liquor stores are, heh.

Totally out of N64's, Gamecubes, and the more recent consoles. What's your friend's store? I was in a vintage place before lockdown and they weirdly had a repro cartridge of the English translation of Clock Tower, which is one I did the coding work for back in teh days of the romhack scene. Was very odd and cool to run into an old bit of work in the wild.

saintonan posted:You asked the wrong people, then, there's several good places in Corpus. Maybe a combination of "I grew up with this" rose colored glasses and maybe loving with them. My own experience (and i see it come up occasionally)with such is with BBQ places in Houston. When i first came to the city (like 12 years ago) I was given several recommendations and they were all "meh" with the exception of Goode Co BBQ which I can only describe as the WORST BBQ in Texas. But its seems to be the only place out of towners know.

Goode. Co. owns on sides and sauce for creativity, but it's not amazing. Jim was an ad man from Oklahoma. It's like the Pappas family doing Tex-Mex. It's solid consumer food, but you're not going to write home about it. Houston was a bbq backwater for decades. The most famous joints in town were Demerris, Drexler's, eventually Goode. Co and poo poo like that. It's much better now. Killen's, for example, down here in Northern Brazoria County, is legit good and there are little joints all over that are okay. Compared to Central Texas, Houston is still a backwater for barbecue, much as it pains me to say it, but we've improved a lot.

It isn't fair to the rest of the state if we dominated in literally every food category. We can let them take one.

Having come from Dallas, and as a person who frequented Austin a lot, I was very upset at the BBQ game. Until I had the Indian here. And then vietcajun. And then, and then, and then... Houston has gotta be one of the top 10 food cities worldwide.

If you haven't had any yet, start looking for some good African food. Houston has more Nigerians than anywhere else on Earth except for Nigeria, for example. At least about 10 years ago it did, not sure if that is still true.

Central Texas barbecue is overrated and only gets as much attention as it does because it is the style that most white pitmasters in Texas follow. Beef links are just as traditional a part of Texas barbecue joints but you never hear the state media talking about them.

ReindeerF posted:Cannot agree with Central Texas barbecue being overrated. It's very good. We have good barbecue in other places. Hell, I just ate at LC's in Kansas City a few weeks ago and it was great. I've been to Renezvous in Memphis and all over. Central Texas, though, has a consistency of quality that's just very impressive. It's not the only kind of barbecue, but the amount and variety and likelihood of it being really good is just fantastic. Still, yeah, you can find a good spot in many places in some parts of the country. It is absolutely overrated in the way that it is talked about in relation to every other style in texas. You don't see east texas beef links or valley barbacoa get the same reverence and the reason is entirely that central texas barbecue is the providence of the white pitmaster. It is a feedback cycle where white pitmasters get more attention because they are white, and they focus on brisket, and so brisket focused barbecue gets more attention, and so those white pitmasters that are better at briskets get more attention, and so on. You go to a barbecue joint in beaumont and say the brisket is bad and so the barbecue joint must be bad but that is only the case because you are focusing on brisket to the point where everybody is forced to do it - even when it's not a part of the regional style.
