  • Work takes me to Houston from time to time, and I wholeheartedly agree. I would never want to live there.

    It seems that whenever you find something likeable about the place, it turns out to be a product of a predatory system.

    I seriously hope the workers at T.J. Birria Y Mas down in Missouri City are well paid and cared for (I doubt it), because they’re doing an awesome job and it’s hard not to love that place.




  • Well, I’m officially an unemployed bum this weekend. Today was the last day at the job I’ve had for the last 5 years.

    That’s because a competitor gave me a better offer, and I’m starting there on Monday. I was going to get a haircut, but I realized that the lack of one, combined with not having shaved in a while, makes me look the part for Saturday and Sunday.

    So… I’ll be clearing out my phone and laptop of anything pertaining to the old job, I guess.











  • At least it was (mostly) dealt with. Cars generally don’t need it anymore, and the few that do can reduce engine knock through additives. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pump offering leaded fuel.

    One big exception to all of this is small general aviation aircraft. They mostly run on AVGAS100LL, but it’s not because of the planes anymore. Just like cars, the few planes that need it can use additives. But regulation for fuel standards change slowly, and ICAO moves at the pace of glacial drift.
