I actually prefer the newer trucks that have shitty lifts over ones without since that tends to at least point their headlamps over my car's roof as they try to ride 6" from my bumper.

Isla Blanca Park on South Padre Island is the best public spot you can watch from (IIRC it's 3 or 4 miles from the launch pad) and it's an amazing experience, highly recommended to anyone who's able to make it out.

You underestimate my brain's super human ability to justify leaving that stuff right where it is until "later" which actually means never but for some reason I accept it lol. Oddly enough, this only applies to things that I p

Hello from Houston! I personally use a small backpack that I leave my keys, wallet, extra charging cords and a dedicated set of diabetes things and anything that comes out of that bag goes straight back when I'm fine with it. Works pre

Genuinely curious, what are some of the reasons you keep them around? Every time I read about someone with that kind of tab count I immediately wonder: 1) if they have that many persistent tabs and actually need (probably the wrong word her

Sidebary has this functionality as well. On top of that it has a setting that allows you to have it auto-unload the parent and its child tabs whenever you collapse the group. I l have a few resource hog sites I use frequently that I keep gr

Pretty sure it's "Squeeh" and "Gypity" giving it those vibes (I know he's the one that led to me calling it "Gypity" and he always pronounces SQL "Squeal). Solid bet that the author is a consumer

I've been using FLauncher for a couple years now and it's great. Very minimalist and only shows the apps you specify on the home screen. Highly recommend giving it a shot.

Maybe some perspective helps, the hurricane would have given probably half of Germany hurricane force winds. Hurricanes cause power outages, I don't think I've ever heard about a hurricane anywhere that directly hit a populous are

The ground in Houston is mostly clay and extremely wet. I'm no civil engineer but I imagine It would likely result in more issues that take longer to fix. Not to mention Houston is huge and dense so switching completely to underground

1. There are big differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and management of them are (for the most part) very different. Distinguishing between the two is important. 2. Please be mindful of making declarative statements about the risk

For me, it's an issue because my headphones have touch input on the outside of the right side ear and often when I'm putting them on I'll accidentally rich it in a way that registers as a tap which sends the play command.
