  1. Be interesting to find out who set it in motion
  2. But seriously why’d they put a roundabout there? Usually it’s precipitated by a resident complaint about the need for traffic calming where a stop sign wouldn’t be appropriate. Gotta be a report on that
  3. Really? No prior history of any negligence of any kind ever? Nobody ever rolled the stop sign at the T even once? Nobody ever sped into it when someone was turning? Not every Very impressive. But what I was talking about was that your example of unsafety was someone failing to yield, which didn’t cause an accident.
  4. 100% I put no weight in it whatsoever. Your own example is why - the configuration of the interchange gave you the time and sightline to avoid an accident caused by someone else's negligence. There's data on this: roundabouts reduce injury accidents, period. If it is "routinely unsafe," the data will bear that out. And if you can find me a single example of an intersection in Texas that was reconfigured to a roundabout and the result was either more injuries or less throughput, I'll stand down. But until that time, I will remain skeptical about the perceived danger of things that make you more attentive. Lots of rats, raccoons and possums living in the ceilings now.
  5. We have a multi-decade leadership vacuum to go with the worst voters of any large city in Texas, and what success we have had has been the product natural advantages overcoming our collective determination against becoming a great city. I don't known what Austin will do, but whatever it is, it will be stupid and myopic, and when it's done we'll blame everyone but ourselves for the results.
  6. Brisket and my running commentary in the stands, starting from the failed penalty kick:
  7. I keep hearing this when roundabouts are installed. When do the accidents start?
  8. Good Tsar, bad boyars. Nobody beats the riz
  9. I sort of made my peace with this last night. I am and will remain a Mavs Fan For Life, and I really like a lot of these players. But this organization is not the Dallas Mavericks anymore. They are Las Vegas Sands Corp, and I don’t have any more of a bond to that than LAs Vegas Sands does to us or to the city of Dallas.
  10. What you don’t understand is that 1) it’s aggregated in the graph and 2) it makes your point even weaker this is basically you right now:
  11. Fun fact: The Mavs allowed 120 points zero times in 22 games played in the 2024 playoffs.
  12. I can’t be mad at these players. They play hard. Lol at Nico side eyeing the TV Cameras when AD went to the bench hurt again.
  13. The most idiotic whatabout defense so far:
  14. You said it wasn’t the hill to die on. My dude, Paul Revere was arrested 250 years ago TODAY. If putting limits on the head of state isn’t worth defending, nothing is.
  15. Too many words. @JBJ - the White House and president are defying the law under the constitution and an order of the United States Supreme Court. Either you oppose that or you want a king. Which is it?
  16. The statement quoted above is also pure delusion.
  17. Um, you talked about “stats [showing] how common black on white violent crime is.” Your data show that it is extremely uncommon. Was that not your intent?
  18. So what you are saying that black on white violent crime is extraordinarily uncommon. Great job proving my point.
  19. Super weird. And Louisiana, you say?
  20. Well that’s the difference between how you and I observe economic and monetary policy. You look where they point and I watch what their hands are doing. There there.
  21. Oh, I don’t know, I think @Anastasis is, broadly speaking, in favor of stepping back from global centrality, (or dismantling the global American Empire, if you prefer) and in favor of de-dollarization as the mechanism of achieving that. He probably sees the current Republican project as the most likely way to get from A to B. What I think he doesn’t understand is the risk to himself and his family this poses, or the very real risk of worldwide human calamity and political violence that will likely result in the anarchic interregnum between the American Empire and whatever comes next. We are at least as likely to drown the Tree of Liberty in blood as to simply water it, and that’s what he and others like him don’t get. They think they are special.
