  1. ^^ Eh. Maybe. For now, this sounds like a criminal investigation into a single kid. Several more players would probably have to come under scrutiny before an investigation would have the scope of reaching all aspects of the program. Doubt B/CS police are very motivated to do more than the bare minimum necessary unless/until outside entities force their hand. To be clear, I’m not excusing anything, I’m just not optimistic that the school or local PD will voluntarily do the right thing.
  2. You may be right that it’s their way out of the contract eventually, but so far this seems pretty different than Baylor. This is all about one player, correct? As opposed to Baylor, where it was far more wide reaching. And all the dates I’ve seen for police reports are within the last week or so. That doesn’t even come close to the level of coverup that was pervasive with Briles. Again, this is really early in the story, and we’re mostly basing this off message board posts, so it could be a much bigger deal (not that one dude raping 15 women isn’t pretty fucking significant by itself, just saying it might not be enough to fire him for cause yet). I don’t want this to be a bigger story, because A) that means there are many more victims, and less importantly, B) I don’t want them to have an easy way out of that contract
  3. Better question, does this story warrant a place in @Hornius Emeritus collection of stories? Or is the β€œIncompetency of Local Leadership in the City of Austin” section already full?
  4. Total shit show. Only counterpoint is that the article makes it clear that nobody at any level understood the complexities of that project. They had absolutely zero experience in the area, had never been involved in planning, estimating costs, or operation. And it seems like there really aren’t many people in the country that do. That’s quite a bit different than a full sized transportation system, which has been scoped and dissected over and over for decades, and there are hundreds of other cities/companies that can be used as guidance at each step of the way.
  5. Three new buildings in one of the largest cities in the country, affiliated with A&M, are going to entirely transform the nature of Dallas as a destination for huge national corporations? Yeah, ok. Flawless logic there, guys.

  7. Any chance this is just us temporarily looking the other direction as a way of telling Iran we’re serious when we say stop sending drones to Russia?
  8. ^^ I understand your schtick, and I acknowledge when you’re not being an ass. Don’t be a dick
  9. If properly stated, a trans woman is someone who was born β€œmale.” At least here and now. May have been different 6 years ago in Australia
  10. I can’t figure out whether it does or not. The ax wielder is in a women’s prison. I assume they either misstated her identification or she has gone under full operative transition. Surely someone with a penis doesn’t get placed into a women’s prison, right?

  13. Pretty major flaw in this plan. They should also be doing something about the ones they can’t find.
  14. Self checkout: A) If there’s a line, then you have to keep at/under the limit. No exception. Doesn’t matter how fast you are. You are not faster than zero seconds, which is how fast the person behind you would be at the checkout if you were following the rules. B) If there is no line, and several stalls open, and you are fast, you can go over… within reason. If you can comfortably carry it in a hand cart, then it’s probably fine. The overall rule here has to be that there is zero chance of a line forming before you finish. C) Regardless of whether there is a line or not, if you aren’t capable of completing your transaction in 2-3 minutes, self checkout is not for you. I don’t care if you only have two items. Get in, get out, quit fuckin about.
  15. Nice. I’m out of town until tomorrow, but I’ll measure our space when I get back. We really need a new one, I’ve just been dragging my feet getting around to it
  16. Weird. When I click that share button, Chrome browser on iPhone, it does the exact same thing as Wordle and quordle.

  18. Wait, what? Are you saying I'm an asshole if I have a normal amount of groceries and don't let someone with only 17 items cut in front of me? Where does that end? If they have one less item than me? Less than half? Where does this madness end in your mind?
  19. I suck at this game. Never done better than 5 guesses. It’s almost always a ridiculously priced house so I tell myself I just have no reference point for how to guess the price. But today was a normal house, and it still took 5 guesses. Although if this house was in Austin, I think I would’ve nailed it in one or two. https://housle.page.link/s4QR I'm a Housle Legend!: 5/6 🏠 +112.5% 🏠🏠 +50.0% 🏠🏠🏠 +12.5% 🏠🏠🏠🏠 -6.2% 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 +0.0%

  22. But that wasn’t supposed to be the takeaway! On the app, it was 13 degrees below the projected low, and 22 below the projection at my house
  23. Technically yeah, but I was in my driveway
  24. This was yesterday morning, just getting around to posting. How can they be this wrong about low temp forecast? And also, crazy how much colder it gets at my house than even a couple miles away. Shitty pic, but 23 degrees at my house
  25. We've seen tons a discussion about them needing tanks, but I don't think I've seen anything on how many are needed. Obviously, every one makes a difference, but how many is enough to truly change the course of the war? Months? Eh, I could believe that. But years? No way. That could only be the timeline if we were making them from scratch.
