  1. Operation BBQ Relief is a well oiled machine. I volunteered with them in Houston after Harvey and I was astonished how well they ran their org during chaos.
  2. It's crazy to read his background, then go back and re-read his comments from those meetings and think that a guy that has had the career he did was completely cool with continuing to rely on a game of telephone as your warning system to prevent loss of life. It's fascinating.
  3. ditto but I grew up poor. This is all mostly rich people stuff.
  4. My take is Camp Mystic is to blame for their tragedy. They are locals and should have been well aware that there were no sirens or advance flood warning system locally. It should have been standard protocol that they have a night watch crew equipped with weather radios or whatever necessary to monitor for any updates from NOAA/NWS. Same goes for Camp La Junta or any other campground in that area. They had plenty of prior warning to move people to higher ground. Kerr County and anyone involved in neglecting to set up sensors and sirens in a known flood plain should have to answer for the lives of all those poor folks from the RV sites and houses on the banks of the river that were lost.
  5. I'm not trying to be crass this soon after this tragedy but I can tell you now they aren't going to give one single fuck about this either. The reason being is any sort of meaningful deep dive will expose the truth of their mismanagement from the top down and just like every tragedy in this state, this is the official position of our Republican overlords: ...and this will probably be the same for a lot of the families (at least the ones running in prominent circles). The main tenant of the modern GOP is solidarity in never admitting a mistake. This will be chalked up to "God's will" and prayers will be asked for, time will pass and nothing will change. To admit a mistake is to admit failure which is not an option for the GOP. The only time a member of the GOP finds a backbone is when they're retiring or dying. Once they've used up their cache and it no longer serves a purpose, only then do they speak out against the hive mind.
  6. I had to go pick my oldest up from his mom's place in Georgetown at 3am so I could take him to the airport and yeah, I caught one of those bands that peeled off around that time. Shit was hairy. After this happening yesterday, it was rough dropping him off this morning. He's going for a week to a scout camp just outside Asheville, NC and that tropical storm has me nervous as hell.
  7. I am righty on everything. I grew up using a baitcaster the majority of the time so when I started saltwater fishing and bought spinning gear, it felt too awkward to reel with my left.
  8. You don't mess with the Zohran
  9. being a car guy, it always made me cringe a bit from the rolling shots of his Ferrari and seeing all the swirl marks in the paint as the street lights pass over it.
  10. is this the thread where you post when you've been DOGE'd / TACO'd? My now prior employer is in the healthcare space and is very reliant on federal/state funding and grants. We went from living it up during covid to now "workforce reduction and restructuring" because of all the cuts made and cuts proposed. I knew things were going to shit but thought my position was pretty insulated from cuts.
  11. That's Lucy. She washed up about 6 months ago and the locals have been dressing her up ever since.

  13. just struck those aggy fucks out to end the game again
  14. Quinn gonna regrow his mullet and become Florida Man down in the everglades
  15. Riley Leonard is the Sam Ehlinger of Tim Tebows
  16. What they need is therapy and some proper mental health care. There are plenty of other billionaires that are perfectly content banging 10's and living on a yacht somewhere because either they had a normal childhood and/or don't have any mental health issues.
  17. Make sure and take one completely vertical so they have to give it a good stroke when they swipe up to unlock it.
  18. Biden's corpse propped up next to the fireplace while his staff and cabinet run the country would be far better than what we have going on right now so you can take criticisms of Biden and stick them where the sun don't shine. And really what needs to start happening here is have reporters say shit like "People are saying you're weak by not being able to force Bukele to return Garcia to the united states. Do you think some of this projected weakness is going to affect your ability to negotiate with other countries for new trade deals?". Make it his idea to get him back to project strength since that's all he cares about anyway.
  19. I told my boss today that I needed access to all the payroll records for our employees in the company. When questioned why, I let him know that both IT and HR are part of the Administrative department of the company so it seems curious why one administrative dept shouldn't have access to all data from another administrative department. Why should they be segregated? Seems inefficient...
