I have a flash drive with DBAN loaded on it. Boot the PC from it, let it do it's thing. Chromebooks get a Powerwash, Android phones just get a factory reset. Can't help with Apple. I usually donate the devices if they have some value to a school.

I missed this thread when posted earlier. So sorry to hear this and all the best thoughts and wishes for y'all. Hope the return to Austin goes well.

I think some have even swung the other way now. For instance, Fege's in Houston is average BBQ IMO but they still get a lot of love. Their sides however are fantastic and unique. I had my favorite ever Chana Masala there.

Doing a little DIY research? :laugh:

DFW - Pecan Lodge in Dallas or Goldee's in Ft. Worth.

I'm not close to gen Z age and I've been using the stare for years. Kinda sad they've picked on up on it. I find with the most self-absorbed it has to extend to a super uncomfortable length of time for them to pick up on it. Great way to deal with the talkers.

Zapp's Crawtators for the win for me by a large margin. Although I did prefer them when they were a local LA product and only used peanut oil. Not quite as good since Utz bought them.

@Joe Bryant New episode of Life of Fire stars Wayne Mueller.

Yeah, boat prices are nuts a the moment but a bit off their peak. I'm in center console country and live very close to where some top of the line boats are made (Boston Whaler, Edgewater, Everglades, Solace, etc.). 22' cc or bay boat is 75-100k easy right now. We have neighbors with 2-3...

In the annals of utterly inconsequential history, nestled somewhere between the invention of the left-handed spork and the discovery of why socks always disappear in the dryer, lies the tale—or rather, the meandering, infinitely digressional chronicle—of a particular puddle. Not just any puddle...

Too many exclusions for my taste and I've also found most travel to have some level of cancelability or refundability that makes it a bit redundant. The one time I bought it was for a trip to Egypt just before the Arab Spring. When I tried to use it I discovered a clause that invalidated it in...

I once ate the most cans of tuna and swedish fish simultaneously in a movie theater. Until some punk tattled and I got thrown out. Didn't even get to finish my water.

This feels like spot on analysis. I was excited when the Rockets stole him late in the draft but circumstances have led us to this point. He's not cracking the Rockets lineup now, needs to learn passing and defense, but has crazy athletic talent. He needs to play for a team where his wild style...
