  1. No it isn’t. My son, who lives in South Austin and is all over the central core frequentl for work and entertainment, has had multiple run-ins with some of the worst trash, and once had to brandish a (legal) firearm to keep a rather large aggressor from attacking him. Not to mention multiple trespassers on family property where the police were summoned and made arrests. That is just in recent years but I guess that is no concern for the downtown highrise elite and the City Council nabobs.
  2. Oh, we used to frequent downtown when it wasn’t overrun with the detritus of society. Go right ahead and turn it into Seattle, LA, San Fran, etc., I’m sure the tourists will be impressed with the street smells of urine & shit as they step around the comatose folks in the new walking parks. It’ll be a great look for the Capital City of Texas. Then maybe Washington DC will copycat them all and close down Pennsylvania Avenue.
  3. Well, this project would at least give the street bums a more comfortable spot to shit & pass out than is currently provided by the CoA.
  4. I have no clue. From what I could see, that company had about 8 or 10 of those Eurocopters in operation. My cousin flew a Huey gunship in Vietnam, and Mrs. Brat’s old boyfriend flew a Hughes Loach.
  5. No I don’t and was unaware of such an application of those watches.
  6. Only one helicopter ride for us - 20 years ago we took the tourist ride up & down the Las Vegas Strip at night. The nighttime views were spectacular. When we took of from McCarran, our Eurocopter tilted over about 45 degrees while I was sitting (actually leaning on) next to the plexiglass door looking straight down a couple hundred feet as we turned up over the MGM Grand to head north. I didn’t take one picture of the 15-20 minutes while we were airborne. smh Similar to this video….

  8. But she didn’t go to UT.
  9. I detest the “lane assist” or whatever it is called on my little 2024 Civic turbo. Can’t stand the way it grabs at the steering wheel if I get near the edges of the lane while driving in little or no traffic. Is there a way to turn it off so I can go ahead and run off the road as God intended?
  10. Jayne had bigger titties.
  11. None of them will ever surpass Jayne…..
  12. Maybe the Feds who are monitoring the gun owners thread here on Surly heard something. 😀
  13. Yep, that entire game was a blatant gang rape by the refs as a retirement gift for Teaff. He should’ve been embarrassed by the obvious corruption.
  14. Early in the evening of July 3rd I started having a severe a-fib attack and was in bad enough shape to start discussing with Mrs. Brat about calling 911. A few minutes later before she even picked up her phone, a Wilco deputy knocked on our front door to ask if someone was having a medical emergency. He did say our address was on record of having prior medical emergency calls. Less than 5 minutes later the Sam Bass FD showed up followed closely by the EMS. We did not call any of those folks at all. We do not have an Alexis, nor have we ever used Siri. My pacemaker has a Bluetooth, but the monitor was 30’ away in our bedroom. Obviously, one of our electronic gadgets is eavesdropping and blabbing to somebody or some computer elsewhere without our knowledge.
  15. Pardon the hijack, but this Sig P365X Texas Ranger is only a few months old. Carry on….
  16. I & my wife get the boosters to lessenthe severity of the symptoms in case we catch it. But we’ve been lucky so far and haven’t caught the bug yet. We don’t wear masks, we carry hand sanitizers, and when we go out to dine at restaurants we go at the least busy hours. One of my sons and his two boys were vaxxed, but they’ve had the Covid 2 or 3 times each. Not deathly ill, but still pretty sick fot the better part of a week each time.

    He’s only one year older than me.
  18. Having a stupid distraction like getting those assholes to stop throwing shit on the field interferes with his coaching. He’s got enough to worry about as it is.
  19. Or a gift card from Panda Express.
  20. Any of the assholes who threw their water bottles onto the field. They all should volunteer to get together and run a few laps and windsprints in atonement. Or maybe run the steps.
  21. We should be better than those poorly educated rednecks.
  22. If Coach Sarkisian tells y’all to stop throwing shit on the field then you better goddam well stop doing it immediately, and don’t do that lowbrow shit again.
  23. That Bradley in Kursk warms the cockles of my heart after so many years. A Russian made RPG killed my closest cousin in Vietnam 54 years ago. He was a good dude.
