  1. Hi. My employer (80,000 employees worldwide) has set up a giving campaign that will give to Team Rubicon, American Red Cross, WCK, and The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. Donations accepted through 7/25. my question for those in the know, is should I email requesting any other local entities be added to the list of funded organizations? No clue if they’ll listen, so a pitch might also be good. eta: directed donations are also allowed so I can send a teams to my group of any specific orgs. I’ll read through the thread now looking for some groups. edit 2: looks like hope house might be one.
  2. So who is able to give imma a timeout? He needs a break.
  3. I’m going to take a guess that most of the drowned are not from kerrville or Kerr county.
  4. Failed gives an implication of effort. I’d say ignored is more correct based on what I’ve read so far.
  5. Presumably
  6. Congrats to teddy ruxpin
  7. Just the guad?
  8. Side note to your side note- the companies don’t get to name their own drugs.
  9. That’s another thing- between the cost of camp there and the means of the campers’ families (not to mention the grown camp alumni), they probably could have privately funded their own system for their stretch of riverfront. maybe they can’t do anything upstream for a real early warning, but were there no height sensors along the bank on their property to notify of rising water? I wonder what the camp’s hold harmless waiver looks like and how well it could hold up.
  10. The estate is not.
  11. I listened to it and was puzzled myself. Are we all the colonizers she talked about? When she says destruction of America does she mean it literally like we all go back to our immigrant root countries? Or just destruction of the current American cultural and social architecture in favor of something more inclusive?
  12. Seems like it would be useless, other than a heads up that you are about to die.
  13. Saw a social media post explaining cloud seeding, attached to a map of where it happens, and postulates that heavy rain events might be due to this practice. So there’s still an alternate path for them to cling to.
  14. Like making floodwaters recede? Of course, I don’t believe he believes his words. Tim minchin addresses my thoughts with similar snark in one of his songs about prayer actively changing the world via god. But that’s too snarky for this thread. I hope the majority of prayers are for peace and understanding and the like. I can support such thoughts and efforts.
  15. Pic that accompanies the meme about the worst person you know making a good point that you agree with
  16. It’s how they cope. It’s fine. To me it feels disingenuous to paradoxical, but to those folks it’s helping them process and be ok with their world.
  17. No- if you put harmful chemicals into the atmosphere that incidentally alter weather and temperature, that’s fine.
  18. I didn’t even know we could set the spacing to justified
  19. Yeah it’s unheard of for the Jerrell area to experience localized severe weather!
  20. What kind of janky cut do you get for $11/lb? I never see anything good for under 15 anymore.
  21. No early warning system?
