    OT: VR headsets

    I'm glad to see all the Meta Quest love. My husband (and his MSU degrees) has been working on it for the last 8-ish years. It's a lot more fun now that party gaming is becoming more available.

    This Is Our... Russell?

    Several years ago in Austin I saw a high school kid wearing a maroon sweatshirt with the MS baseball logo on it which of course caught my attention. When I got close enough to read the shirt, it was from St. Michael's Catholic school in Austin. I looked on their website and they clearly were...

    Question for the MSU engineers on the board...

    We live in Austin, and my husband has a BS in Electrical Engineering and a MS in Computational Engineering from MSU. He's currently working at Facebook for Oculus doing virtual reality development. For him it hasn't been about who he knows, it's about what he knows. Our youngest is starting at...

    OT: Best BBQ Joint

    Drive on past Franklin BBQ and go to Mickelthwait Craft Meats on the same street. No lines and probably better brisket. Get the jalapeno cheese grits. They only have ribs on weekends. Skip Salt Lick. Or try it at the airport.

    Quarantined Fat Asses Like Me

    My husband works for Oculus/FB on the Quest. Beat Saber has kept us entertained for hours the past few weeks.

    So who is going to trade in their Ford Super Duty for the amazing Cybertruck?

    Congrats. I have a Model 3, and I will never own another brand of car. The thought that goes in and the sheer design of everything in their vehicles is incredible. And if it's not there, just wait for the next software update and it will be. To me (now) it's ridiculous that other car companies...

    OT: Banff vs Whistler

    Also, the trip from Vancouver up to Whistler is via a mountain highway. Last time we went, we got stuck in Squamish for an unplanned overnight stay because there was an accident north of there that was bad enough to close a bridge. We've also run into an unexpected road closure due to weather...

    OT: Banff vs Whistler

    Never been to Banff, but I've been to Whistler a few times and will go back in January. It has a good mix of green/blue/black, so it's got pretty good skiing for all levels. Whistler Village is really nice. We've stayed at a house in Kadenwood which had its own private gondola down to Creekside...

    RIP Lucky Town Brewery

    The owners of Mayhew Junction are friends of mine. I don't think their intent was ever to run a taproom full time (they both work for the university), but when they opened that was kind of what the laws dictated in order to get their beer out there. Plus, they've had a few other things going on...

    #OMADAWGS Ticket Question Catch All Thread?

    Do they still do the lottery? I think it was 2013, we lined up day of game and they picked a number. They'd count back that far in the line and that's where they'd start the ticket sales. Then they'd sell available tickets to those people until they ran out. So if they still do that, you have to...
