    My last two coworkers without power (one in the heights, other in Memorial/Energy Corridor) both got power back today, as well as a couple close friends from Rice that live in Southampton, so hope you guys will be next!

    Any of y'all know how to find/access a passcode for tickets at white oak? i finally decided to try to get tickets for the Future Islands show at the end of September, but the only non-resale general admission tickets require a passcode to unlock now. I don't remember a passcode when the show was first announced, at least outside of the WOMH24 presale code i noticed in the email they sent me back in like February, so was wondering/hoping to learn that some of y'all may have experience here that you can share. TIA friends

    Digital thermostats are one of the dumbest things ever invented. I fucking hate them. My unit can only work with one thermostat, and there’s only one company in town authorized to work on it

    Yeah, same here. And did a quick search on Reddit and Twitter, but no luck. Will look into it more soon, but don't care enough about the show to pay such a high markup on the resale market.

    Wait till a few days before the show and check Reddit and other social medias. Seems like folks on Reddit give away tickets for free the day of the show.

    My best guess is everyone's tree debris along the streets, which in turn puddles water, has made a superfund orgy site for mosquitos across the city. My windows in the morning have 25-50 mosquitos ramming against them.

    My wife’s younger sister and her husband were out of town when the storm hit and didn’t come back until I think Friday. When they got back they found that a bunch of mosquitos had hatched inside their espresso maker. They were not having a good time when they discovered that

    Is she in the clear on the bid rigging stuff? I know a few people around her went down but figured they’d still go after her.
