Someone I spoke to at a construction site said that one of the taco truck vendors is working on a fully autonomous taco truck.

Autonomous?

Will it be able to write its own health codes as well as self-govern?

I think so. Just like those self cleaning ovens.

It's like having a cat in the oven.

Which, I guess, is also pretty much the way it's done on a taco truck.

Speaking in the context of LEED developments, bisnow.com reports this:

...Midway has a large LEED-planned Houston hotel on the drawing boards...

Do we have a thread on this already? I wanted to check here first before creating a new topic.

This is good news.

Breaking News: New study shows fat kids bullied more than skinny kids!

Further studies reveal the sky is blue and water is wet.

In other obesity related news, I tried the Double Down this weekend, and... eh... let's just say I was underwhelmed. The bacon flavor was hidden by the massive amount of fried chicken in every bite. This thing needed at least four more slices of bacon. And really, would it have hurt to have included at least one piece of bread? This "sandwich" needed a bit better flavor balance.

A new study reveals the only pure humans are sub-Saharan Africans. Everyone else is a mixed species mutt.

I hope this clears up any racial purity arguments for the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis.

Or why some resemble and act more like Neanderthal man than others.

In theory, it's brilliant. In practice, it's, "Thanks for the socks, gramgram."

I tried one a couple weeks ago and liked it. But I was in 5th Ward; everything that's fried tastes better there.

The one in the middle definitely has some neanderthal lineage. He'd barely need makeup to look like one of the Geico cavemen.

Not sure that I'm thrilled by that concept...

Thorough economic analysis of the Double Down.

Its impact to KFC's bottomline may be deeper than our mere jokes could have anticipated.

[Fringe]

Someone said the Double Down needed a bun?

Will They Build It? KFC & Krispy Kreme

"in China, it's arguably the most successful fast food chain"

So what does this say about China? That dog doens't actually taste like chicken? Or maybe they have not conceived the idea of fried dog? ;P

We need a Houston version of The Luther, meaning it'll utilize two donuts from Shipley instead of Krispy-Kreme.

Anyone know what project this rendering belongs to? It looks like it's part of a parking garage and you can see the first banner says Galleria on it.

Probably something in uptown. Hrm... perhaps this is one of the proposed buildings... that one that looks like it's from the 1960's?

At my 4th jury duty in 9 years living here (2 muni, 2 district). Am I winning or does anyone else get called this much? At least it's district this time. Free wireless, and padded seats instead of the punish-you-for-your-sins church pews they have in the municipal jury room. I bet there's another HAIFer in here right now...

[ricco67]

I've been called a total of 5 times in about 8 yrs if that makes you feel better.

[lockmat]

I've never been called.

[20thStDad]

I was out of there before 10. Not bad! Actually I was hoping to get on a jury, the pool they pulled me in was for the bigger criminal court. But nope, everyone settled and we got to go to work.

Well, recently, one of my cousins who lived in Houston moved out, giving me one less reason to like Houston as a city. (hopefully I can get that point back, though)

In other news, though, I will say that during that period where I made a bunch of, shall we say, lackluster posts*, it didn't continue with a thread talking about what a terrible member I was. Or a total ban where PMs are ignored.

You guys aren't jerks, and jerks who deserve their forum to be imploded, and I thank you for that.

What's going on with The Weather Channel?

It used to be a reliable source for (of all things) weather updates. When a thunderstorm is approaching, I don't want to see a documentary about some 1950's hurricane. I want to see the current radar.

I haven't watched the weather channel in years. If I want info I can't wait until the 8s, I just do the website and get it all right now. Weather isn't that exciting. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut way down on the on air talent in favor of keeping the updates on the 8s and random documentaries.

I hear you. But I will say the weather app (iPhone and prolly now on Android too..) has some great features. If you have a smart phone I would definitely check out their free app.
