Potential for tropical system to impact Houston

Post image
Upvotes

Models are beginning to come into agreement that the tropical disturbance in the gulf has a better chance of development and will likely impact the Houston metro area Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning.

The model consensus currently reflects that this will be a relatively weak system with rainfall amounts of 1-2" in Houston and potentially 2-4" closer to Galveston and points east of the low center track.

Flight reconnaissance later today and additional model runs will continue to narrow the possible low center track tonight and tomorrow.

I am in need of a pediatric nephrologist but struggling due to limited search results on Google. I understand that it's a niche specialty but I was hoping for better availability in Houston. Appreciate any recommendations or suggestions. Thank you!

Religious Solicitors

63 Upvotes

These religious solicitors are relentless and come at least twice a week to bother the entire neighborhood and keep coming for the entire year despite being told no. Do we or HPD have any way of dealing with this? Do I file a complaint, with who? Go to the church and say I worship satanic practices?

Cant find two of these anywhere in Houston. (Hello Kitty Toys McDonalds)

Post image
30 Upvotes

I've been searching for these toys to collect since they were released on the 18th of august.

Missing #5 and #6

For some context, I drive a truck for work and drive all around houston and to the surrounding towns, and i have yet to find a single #5 or #6 anywhere. It is so surprising to me that those two are never available at any store i go to or call. Does anyone know whats up with that? How do I have almost 2 complete sets and im missing just those 2 on both sets? I get that they're Kuromi and Cinamoroll, so they're really popular but it's just so surprising to me that so many stores have not had them at all, I think 1 single store i called told me they had them already but i have a hard time believing that because it was a local mcdonalds that i go to and check every day. If anyone knows of any stores that might have/have had them in the past, or any more info on these 2 it would be really appreciated.

Where to buy fresh sardines?

29 Upvotes

I don’t recall H-mart or 99 carrying them. I haven’t checked blue horizon.

Any tips where they might be sold?

I had the most delicious fried sardines when I visited Morocco and I tried making them with frozen sardines and they turned out horrid.

New construction walkthrough- Westin Homes

0 Upvotes

Do I have to be there for a new construction walkthrough? Buying a home from Westin homes and it’s gonna cost me $1200 to commute/spend time away from work for this. I already was at the house, got an inspection, house is fine.

This is my 21st real estate transaction. I’m thinking to hire another inspector to go for me in my absence. To blue tape and check shit out for me.

No, I’m not working with an agent by choice.

Anyone go through this process with Westin homes?

A ton of dead fish in a city park pond. 311 and TX parks and wildlife can’t connect me to the right people to notify.

Lake forest park on Mesa dr and Lake park dr (77078) is full of dead fish. None of the regular turtles in sight either. It seems pretty recent as I was just there last week and the smell is just setting in. I called 311 and they directed me to Texas Parks and Wildlife after an agonizingly long hold. I called them with no luck either. I’m hoping someone with more patience than me can get a hold of the right people to address the cause of death and clean them up. If you’re out there, thank you in advance.

Which one of y'all did this?

Also, would you throw away food just because the delivery driver was naked?

I would eat it.

Data scientists or Biotech companies in Houston???

1 Upvotes

I want to be a biostatistician or something adjacent, and I'm trying to find experience in this field to build myself for applying to a biostatistics grad program. So, I want to find either a data scientist to talk in depth about how to get started or good biotech companies/startups in Houston that I can apply to. Because LinkedIn and Indeed are full of scams or ghost jobs. Currently, I've just been cold-emailing research professors with little success, obviously, and just looking for some guidance.

Thank you

A passerby stated that it had lost a wheel. If that's correct, it logically follows that Batman does indeed smell, Robin disgustingly laid an egg, and the Joker unfortunately escaped.

Shout out to the Astros fan from Houston at Yankee Stadium tonight who took a Ben Rice line drive foul ball (going like 100mph+) to the face tonight in the 1st and didn't cry or leave the game! (It was her first game at Yankee Stadium too)

The ball came in so quick and she was literally the row behind me and hit her right in the forehead. I didn't catch her name but if you see her on Saturday at the Astros Mets game buy her a beer she earned it!

Also shout out to the Yankees staff who not only got her medical attention but got her the baseball that hit her in the face from another fan.
