  1. Southwest is the only one that flies direct to pretty much anywhere from San Antonio or Austin. If I want a direct flight, it's Southwest. Given their business model (focus cities, not hubs), I suspect this is the same way in most cities.
  2. Too bad the pool cabanas won't be open when I'm having my wedding there in December! I would have stopped by. Planet Hollywood hooked me up with a free pool cabana to celebrate my engagement last year, even though their pool is meh, the whole cabana thing rocks.
  3. What the hell is wrong with you?
  4. Policy is nothing illegal. We host a lot of porn, so even that's okay and necessary at times. Same here. I'm a feedly addict on both the web & my phone.
  5. Austin/San Antonio are working to get recognized as one metropolitan statistical area from the US government for the purposes of attracting an nfl team.
  6. It's hard to OD on Ecstasy. Die from dehydration on the other hand....
  7. EDC Vegas is next week! Wish I could go.
  8. Haha, mine was pretty much "stop eating out so much, all that fat will kill you in the long run no matter how high your metabolism is"
  9. http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/football/nfl/salaries/team/ Bills #13 in total salary last year...
  10. Luckily, I've found a Dr. that does stuff right. She had her PA have a long conversation with me about diet, exercise, all that good stuff, and I've made some lifestyle adjustments as a result (eating out less, cooking more at home, etc).
  11. Let's be fair to everyone. Th ekid's an idiot, and US Airways sucks.
  12. How much do you think each bag costs the airlines? Would you rather them build it into the price of a ticket?
  13. Then why did you do it?
  14. Congrats! My fiancee's dad is going to go through that in 6 months.
  15. Not sure if it's common, but Google has an app for Android that has this functionality, and it's been free as long as I've owned my phone. Not sure on the quality of the translations, but it's cool. An even neater app is called Edwin on Android. http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.neureau.edwin You ask it questions, and it speaks to you answers. Stuff like "Where am I?", "Where is the closest hamburger restaurant?", "Where is the closest gas station?", "Whats the weather?", "Convert 5 ounces to cups", etc. and it'll speak the answers back to you. Pretty cool.
  16. They do, but each row is significantly higher than the one before, and they duck when walking by to stay out of your field of view.
  17. Yep it is. There's one at 281/San Pedro, one near 410 & Bandera, and one at Stone Oak & 281.
  18. See link #2 in my post.
  19. Love it. Every once in a while I'll make a joke about how awesome canadian strip clubs are and the sundowner here in Texas. No one ever gets it, but I enjoy it.
  20. The Alamo Drafthouse is the ONLY place I watch movies. Awesome microbrews on tap brought to you, great food, 18+ only, and they throw people out for making noise. LOVE IT! One more reason why Texas is awesome.
  21. Pfft, San Antonio likes Austin!
  22. Some fodder for the "OL is the only way to build a team" crowd. Yesterday's ProFootballFocus article on Surrendering Pressure: http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/06/06/surrendering-pressure/ In short, one of the teams that made the Superbowl was the worst team in the entire league in giving up pressure on the QB. Green Bay ranked 12th. Neither was in the top-10. And the bottom 3 for offensive line, PIT, CHI, and TB, all made the playoffs. Compare this to how the QB performs under pressure: http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/05/16/pressure-reveals/ In short, these findings seem to indicate the really good QBs mask the weakness of the offensive line, and that even with poor pass protection, they can still win. Given that FItzpatrick was #16 under pressure, and Edwards is terrible (according to my own biased assessment), a lot of what we felt last year could probably be attributed to that upgrade. To me, it's more important to have a well balanced football team in today's NFL than overly dominant lines. I think these findings are in line with that theory. Unfortunately, that means it's a lot more complicated than "build great lines and win". **EDIT: Mods, I was typing this up while the other thread was made about this series of articles. Can you merge it in to this one? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/130848-o-line-ranks-12th/ Thanks
