re: Mom&Pop/Family owned restaurants in Florence/Tuscany and Rome
Posted by NWHoustonTiger on 2/23/26 at 6:28 pm to michael corleone
Florence's main market has some incredible places. IIRC the restaurants are on the 2nd floor. Hotel staff (who sent us there) said those places were all locally owned. Great option for lunch.
GQ Article - Is Zone 2 Cardio really better for you?
Posted by NWHoustonTiger on 2/19/26 at 4:53 pm

Interesting recap of how Zone 2 became popular and some recent research into its effectiveness. Here's what I think the article misses - most proponents of Zone 2 don't recommend it as the focal point of a fitness regimen. Rather, my understanding has always been that Zone 2 is a more-effective and sustainable pairing with strength training (especially hypertrophy-focused strength training) vs. HIIT or other high-intensity training. But I'm definitely open to evidence that indicates otherwise.

Doug Burgum said something to the effect of “this is a real opportunity to showcase the innovation of IndyCar.” My Brother in Christ, they all drive the same car.
re: I’m not trying to be rude. But nepotism in Louisiana is absolutely insane.
Posted by NWHoustonTiger on 1/30/26 at 12:55 pm to _Hurricane_
I think the problem everyone is getting at is broader than nepotism. Rather, Louisiana is absolutely lousy with parochialism. New Orleans, with its "Where did you grow up / go to High School" dynamic exudes a particularly blatant and overt parochialism, but Shreveport, Acadiana and BR are just as bad (BR used to be a little more egalitarian and meritocratic; maybe too many New Orleanians moved to BR). Parochialism repels outsiders - and the economic activity they bring - at a time when Louisiana desperately needs a demographic, cultural and fiscal boost.

My guess is Dent or Dr Arkham (Brad Pitt was previously rumored for that character).

Does anyone who attended LSU in the late 90s / early 2000s remember Shannon Stewart? BR native but I don't think she was a student. I knew a few guys who knew her before Playboy.

Houston Museums - Bayou Bend or Rienzi
Posted by NWHoustonTiger on 11/20/25 at 2:34 pm
Wife and I are doing a staycation right before Christmas. What’s a better Museum of Fine Arts campus to visit - Bayou Bend or Rienzi? I would assume Bayou Bend but didn’t know if the Christmas lights display renders the gardens less interesting during the day. TIA!

re: Seriously what happened to Nuss? I have never seen such a regression
Posted by NWHoustonTiger on 11/10/25 at 11:23 am to cbtullis
This is a very unusual year for College football QBs and Nuss isn’t the only high profile guy who regressed. See Klubnik, Allar and Nico (though he put himself in a bad situation). As for the causes of the drop-off, with time will come prospective, and I don’t think we have the whole story yet.
Likely the best thing for Nuss would be to shut it down for this season and focus on rehab/recovery and NFL draft prep. If he’s really hurt - even if it is just a moderate yet nagging injury - there’s no point to continuing to play this year, as it does Nuss nor the team any good. The ‘26 NFL Draft QB class is so thin that I could see Nuss landing in the middle rounds on talent & 2024 performance alone, provided his workouts and interviews go well.

Maybe this is an indication of why Redbull is so high on Linblad, despite a pretty lackluster season in F2. Linblad must have the "Doctor" Helmut Marko seal of approval.
