needing a new outdoor grill.  was thinking about a pellet grill which i've used before, very easy and versatile, but keep seeing these blackstone/weber flat top smash burgers and breakfast stuff, and the possibilities of making totally unhealthy greasy stuff looks like fun.  maybe a blackstone and then a cheaper propane grill for when i just want to grill, but then think i'd miss out on wanting to smoke ribs or a pork butt.  what are the best solutions to get grilling/smoking/flat top cooking without having to buy 3 different units?
I'm in the same boat but I really enjoy a propane grill

Be good to have a true historical blue blood in the conference finally I suppose

Desantis signed a bill banning kids under 14 from having social media without parents consent.

Not sure how effective it will be, but I like the spirit of it.

This almost feels like it could be a jumping off point for an episode of Curb but here’s the scene:
So my preschool daughter gets invited over to her bestie’s house for a play date along with some other kids.

We show up at like 2:30, fully expecting to stay for a couple hours then leave. Well the kids are having a great time and suddenly it’s like 6:30 and they ask if anyone wants to order pizza. Mrs BAC is celiac but she is also very particular about restaurants she is confident truly understand how cross contamination works, but she didn’t want to be the stick in the mud so it was just made abundantly clear she wouldn’t be eating, and it’s fine this happens all the time it’s no big deal.

So our hosts order some ‘za — a large cheese, a large roni, and then a large vegetarian like mushroom and ricotta thing that nobody else was interested in and was clearly just for them.

So end of the evening and my wife says to our hosts “let me know what we owe you for the pizza and we’ll Venmo you” to which our hosts then send out a group text requesting $25/ea.

So I’m thinking like holy crap, I had 2 slices, my daughter had 1, wife had 0, how fancy of pizzas did we order?!?” I go to the webbed site of the pizza place and the price of a large pie is $23 (obvs that doesn’t include tax or delivery) but damn we’re like picking up ~1/3 of the tab.

So like, I get the basic math…3 families, 3 pizzas, split it 3 ways. But like…the other family was mom,dad, and their twin girls eating, so like 4 ppl vs 2 from my fam.

I didn’t protest and promptly Venmo’d the $25, but I was like damn, first off nobody else but our host family wanted that mushroom pizza, they were the only ones who ate it, they even said before they ordered “oh good we’ll have some leftovers for tomorrow” and also 2 pizzas would have been plenty for everyone there, as they had a full pizza leftover with the shroom + roni + cheese.

So not only did we treat our hosts to a pizza but also we ate literally half of what the other family did. And to be fair to the family with twins they did not suggest the even split of the tab.

I dunno was this tacky of our hosts or am I overreacting? Like it honestly wasn’t about the money at all, it was about the gesture. We were happy to chip in, especially bc dinner was not really in the original scope of the playdate since things ran long. But I dunno if I was the host I would have been like “well for starters, nobody else wanted the mushroom pizza nor was the 3rd pizza even necessary to feed everyone, so maybe we don’t ask our guest to subsidize that cost. Second, clearly the BAC family only consumed half of what the other family with twins had, so rather than send out a group text you could text everyone individually to ask them to chip in a more representative amount”

The more I thought about it, I was like man if they would have asked for like $7 less dollars I don’t think I even would have given it a second thought. Like $18? Sure whatever. But man this was definitely one of those times when I had the proverbial bowl of soup but was expected to pay the same as the guy who ordered the filet. Gears thoroughly grinded.

Oh and not that it matters…but our host’s home…I would conservatively estimate is worth 3-4x what our house is worth on the open market right now.

I think he is a little stronger than his average.  I'm going just under 1k and 9 TDs.

I don't trust the KC WR coach to develop young talent so I think Pat goes to the vet a lot

I don't know much about the WR coach but Rashee Rice showed a lot of development this year I thought.

Most of our WRs couldn't make the right read or run a route well enough to throw the ball down the field.  I think Rashee's talent overcame some of the shitty coaching but we still had to get him the ball within 5 yards of the LOS.  I don't have much faith in Skyy and Toney but our WR group had issues with every aspect of the position as basic as lining up properly. I don't expect us to get much out of a late first round receiver this year with Brown, a more established Rice, and a seemingly shitty WR coach trying to get him up to speed.
No way he's around next season, right?

I would also like to present a gem of a little spot only really open Friday and Saturday evenings if you are ever up by the north part of Tuttle.
North County Restaurant & Lounge in Randolph is pretty good food, price and atmosphere.

Also when they changed from pott co water to riley co water changed some of the beer tastes IMO for Tallgrass

Who brews the tallgrass beers now? I used to love the 8 bit beer which doesn't taste as good as I remembered but I do love their Tight Rope IPA. (All purchased in KC)

Last I knew tallgrass went out of business 5ish years ago but in the past couple of years they have been trickling back into KC.
Wichita Brewing Company bought the rights to the names and the recipes. I never really cared for any of their flagship lineup and frankly don't really care for any of their attempts at the Tallgrass beers either. My understanding is even the 8-Bit beer went down in quality when Tallgrass was still brewing it because they stopped using Galaxy hops because Galaxy hops got wildly expensive.
YES, WBC is hot garbage

My in laws live out by Pott2 area but I usually take the back dirt road to get to them based off of where I live. I drove 24 this weekend though and it blew my mind how quickly that thing went up!

Football he loves because it’s most of his school friends. We put together a feeder tackle football team for our HS. I coach it with some other guys and it’s fun as hell.

one interesting thing about this discussion I hadn't thought about is how football is one of the last remaining sports that still feels driven at the community level because clubs/private coaches haven't been able to completely take over the high level competition. It might be the last sport in the US where high school competition really means anything when it comes to playing at the next level.

hockey

There's actually quite a bit of hockey in Texas, but none of it is played in high schools.

How many texas hockey players play at the next level?

I honestly don't know, but I'm guessing more than you would think.
I'd bet way less because they are all busy playing real sports
