No... Just travel there weekly for a long time for work. Still have work and employees there. All of the below should be reasonably close. Hospital is not far from your rental. ..well not far for a Texan.

English food and beer: Red Lion British Pub

Chinese food: Pepper Twins

Persian Food: Kasra

Vietnamese food: Old Saigon (have not been but good reviews), my old haunt is under new mgmt so I can't recommend it :(

Cajun food: Bobobs or Cajun Town. I'm sure this will be very contentious but good Cajun food isn't dressy. If you need classy then go Pappadeauxs.

Tex Mex food: Guadalajara Mexican Grille. Pricey but reliable. Otherwise Ninfa's or TJ Birria Y Mas

South American food (Peru): Saldivia's South American Grill (have not been but good reviews)

My other fav's..can vouch through many meals and drinks: North Italia, True Food Kitchen, Oporto Tapas, McElroy's Pub, Poison girl, Agora, Brasil, Common Bond Bistro, Anvil, Harry's Greek, Barnaby's.

I've run out of steam. HMU for any specific questions.

San Jacinto museum. Hard to get to but important to Texas history.

Museums in H town are really good.

Walk around Memorial Park to get some headspace when needed.

NASA. Expensive but worth it.

I'll add some restaurants. It's a great melting pot of food and cultures.

The only hope I have is that the next generation will bring more love. There is a lot of disenfranchisement due to the changes over the last 40 years. The lasting effects of coal and steel work reduction, offshoring of jobs, minority rights improving, immigration changing demographics. All of these have been very strange and alarming for a lot of people my age and older. It's all normal to my kids though.

You're right tho. Empires rise and fall. The whole world is fucked if we've hit our peak.

I normally don't like to admit this but you're right. OP needs to move.

Added another moist for emphasis.

Side note: humble brag...I speak and moderate periodically at conferences. My friends give me a list of 5 words to slide into my speech. Moist was one of them. That's the hardest word to just slip into (as it were) a presentation. I was successful.

Used to clean toilets, vacuum, mop and buff floors, clean windows, build bicycles. Loved it all.

This may not apply, (as I know I'm simply saying a commercial product got worse as it had revisions) but Jawbone's first earbud/headset used a small rubber conductor to evaluate skull vibration for noise canceling ( and likely there was some ANC using incoming mic audio from external sources). They continued to include a rubber bumper but I think the device leaned more on incoming audio from mics rather than from the rubber bumper. The oldest device presented the best noise canceling even after 3 product changes. I used every version until they stopped making headsets. I miss my Jawbone. I still have my OG.

Makes perfect sense. I'm not as familiar with the admin side of things.

TY for taking the time to explain.

Would you care to expand on this? I understand many of the pieces mentioned but am not an expert on this and am trying to learn.

I talk out of my ass at times, and the bit level statement could be one of them. Nevertheless Spinrite is a little known but amazing tool for HDD and SDD maintenance and recovery. Just go hop over to the forums. I used to be a member in them back in the late 2000s. You'll see. There are deep drive nerds and they know their stuff.

 

I installed a screen protector for the first time on Monday. I've been having issues getting my fingerprint to work and just would use my pin to unlock. This morning Android popped up a notification saying "Using a screen protector? Click here to increase touch sensitivity!" Pretty awesome.

Now stop asking me to use Gemini.

 

I was going to drop my kid off at school when a dog ran between two cars and my back tire ran over a portion of the dog. I slowed down and stopped not knowing what to do and watched the dog hop up and hobble away into an adjoining back yard. What seemed to be the owner followed the dog into the back yard. I immediately pulled over but had to roll up my windows as my dog was riding along. I waited a few houses away not really knowing how to react and asking my kid what she thought I should do. When the dog quickly wandered off she wasn't sure how I should act either.

What do I do? My initial hesitancy is tied to the dog quickly walking away into what looked like it's home and the owner slowly following it away. I'm concerned of getting into the middle of a highly emotional situation if the dog needs to go to the vet. If the dog lay lifeless I would have had no issue with getting out and consoling as needed. Is there a difference? I think also am concerned I'll get told I'm responsible and need to help cover any vet costs.
