Yes, they were signed "Charles Butt". Kinda wonder what'll happen when he dies, since he has no children and never married, he wound up with the company when his dad caught TB. He's already stepped down as CEO (someone from outside the family is now CEO, and things have definitely changed a bit). Hopefully he leaves the company to one of his family members. I still own a few employee shares in the company; I should be able to cash them in at the end of this year. They use "Here, Everything's Better" as their advertising slogan, and have for a long time now. Can't figure out why.

It's still a mix of family and employee owned, so hopefully the company can't get gobbled up by Albertson's or Kroger once he passes. I would hope he's distributed ownership among the family enough to where he's not a majority stakeholder. Pretty sure Texans would revolt if ownership left the family anyway. It's always been a Texas (and a few stores in northern Mexico) company, with a brief experiment in Louisiana. 117 years of continuous operation. Texans love them so much that it's almost like a cult, and TBH, it's a fantastic company to have on your resume if you're in Texas. Their longest serving employee just retired after 56 years, and I personally know people who've worked there for over 40 years. They have some old school benefits, like their own cabins that any employee can use for free at two different compounds (one of the "cabins" is the house that the founder's son grew up in [the company still carries his name]; it was relocated to the compound outside Kerrville in the 1940s, any employee can reserve it). I ALMOST reserved that one for myself, but wanted to leave it for a family needing more space; turns out only two other families were out there when I was, so it would have been no problem to use it. Shitload more cleaning than the little place we wound up in though, and would have been a lot closer to the road. How do you know if someone's from Texas? They'll tell you within 5 minutes. There's a lot of poo poo to hate about Texas, but HEB is universally loved here. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 07:11 on May 20, 2022 |

We recently went to the movies to see the Dr. Strange flick. I parked, and noticed this little pile of metal in the empty spot next to me. Any idea what it used to be? In the spot, it was roughly near the back, if the vehicle had parked head-in. The ground around it looked like there had been fire, or some dark fluid, on it too. At first glance I thought brake rotor, but that didn't make sense. then I though rear diff, but I'm not sure either. Any ideas? My kid's foot for scale. click for Giant.

Don't think it's a pulley. The thinner pieces almost look like chunks of a bellhousing or something. Little round barrel shaped thing in the center almost looks like the rolling element from a cylindrical bearing, but I don't think so, and there should be tons more. Whatever it is, someone didn't have a good day.

They sold Whataburger to a loving Chicago company and they're all still standing (not that I eat there hardly any more.) Edit: "they" being the Dobson family who owned Whataburger until 2019. They still have a small stake, according to Wikipedia, but not controlling. Darchangel fucked around with this message at 16:43 on May 20, 2022 |

Kinda looks like the rim of a flushmount casing, but the bolt hols are in the wrong place. Or they are for every one that I've seen.

Parking brake (maybe with the trans in park), or it seized up. Plenty of videos of crazy people driving on the highway with a wheel on its way to that.
