    Woke up this morning like a gotdamn Folgers ad fucked a fabric softener commercial and had a baby…‘every accusation is a confession’ proven right again. Wow.

    Actor did a great job opposite Snoop…love the look on his face when she’s saying a .22 can drop someone

    Well the mom looks exactly like all the busy-body, stay at home women on the street behind me that were pushing that OneFamily bullshit extremely hard for RRISD. They hide behind being a Christian while failing to appreciate the Bible explicitly warns against the exact behavior they exhibit.

    Pic from Reddit… You can see the ruined apartment building When I’ve walked back from Firestone/Red Horn near the upper-left, I follow that little green line between the apartments and houses, then turn towards the bottom where the trail follows the left edge of that water/foam towards Parmer. You can see why those of us bordering this large green space were a little nervous last night…outstanding job to all involved

    I get my info from Austin subreddit, and sounds like a couple of those apartment buildings are total losses. 15 acres. That’s about all I know

    Drove by the church off our hood, which is my jump off point for the trails there. No smoke, a few trucks throwing water back there and the Aggy site says 60% contained…so a bunch of hard mofos put in a ton of work overnight.

    I had to poop exactly once during the decade I went to ROT…I rode all the way back to my house in Pflugerville vs trying to use a porta potty shared by hundreds of sweaty, beer-swilling middle aged weekend warriors. Also…have a feeling ACL is going to be brutal this year

    I bet it is. Was thinking everyone at Breakaway was shuttling their birds out, but checked ADSBExchange to see a pair of Air Tractors out of Fredericksburg doing pylon turns over the fire. Went up to my roof to watch them do a few more circuits, then pull up and head east to Exec…doing maybe 150kts at 200ft they’d have zero time to react if they smashed into a drone. Bend a main rotor on a chopper would be even worse. Saw a drone vid of someone flying above the Travis County helicopters altitude. Even our mayor, between praising every conceivable person (again, including Abbott for some reason) said it’s a crime to fly them there. Stupid.

    While it’s cool to get the visuals, flying your drone while EMS helicopters and those turboprop Air Tractors are navigating a tight airspace at low altitude is dumb as fuck…

    I mean…the Cedar Park fire chief said it + parts of 1431 are closed.
  22. Homercles
    Fire chief said that it started along Parmer, moved around those Bexley apartments, one building is a total loss with two more damaged. Mayor all about thanking everyone from EMS to Abbott to Elvis I guess. If it was a fucking dumbass throwing a cigarette out the window…

    I’ve walked back there many, many times…sometimes as a way to get back home after dropping my car at the Firestone. Parts of those biking trails are known as Suburban Ninja. That apartment complex is right against the woods. Wouldn’t take much for a cigarette butt or grill dumbassery to light the whole place up. Off the trails it is nothing but brush, downed limbs and dried out tinder. Last time I walked there was probably March, and was surprised to see evidence of a sizable fire about 100’ into the woods from the apartments.

    I am absolutely all for this kind of WFH architecture. It should be role, tenure, maturity and character dependent…not unilaterally handed down I’ve been at the same company for 20 years, in the same role for 5, and my chain of command lives in either Boston or Ireland. Have gone in to meet interns, or whiteboard big projects, or wherever else needed. Making me, in my personal circumstances, come into the office to find a hotel cube nowhere near my peers and an office with minimal services…is stupid.

    So give more of my money to big corporations…got it. The money I save goes into more pleasure travel, clothes, eating out / better food / delivery, turn that office real estate into housing to ease pricing = there’s your construction, and fuck oil/gas, they can either evolve like everyone else does or slowly die out like the buggy industry… (I have a special hatred for industries that cry to the government and fuck over employees in rough times, but milk the public for every cent they can during booms while handing it to execs and shareholders) Again I feel like all my pissy posts lately are directed at organizations/people who fail to recognize that things change (gender views, technology, climate, etc). And I’m not saying everyone should WFH…but blanket statements and policies are reflective of the same shit that has people losing rights in general: “fuck you, my way is the right and only way”
