What's fridging again?

A CS degree no less.

I listened at 1.5x while working on other shit.

This guy is well spoken and this was pretty cool.

Here in Texas on a 3/2 1500 sqft house I paid ~$7k this year. Shit sucks.

Yeah I've heard that line before. Lots of diversity due it being an oil town/shipping.
