  1. Or shoving something up its ass. Either one seems bad to me
  2. I mean…yeah it’s another law that’ll be difficult/impossible to enforce, but it’s better than nothing. Not sure what else they can do about that. I’m curious if commercial providers are exempt though. I live on a corner lot in suburbia, and most folks (myself included) pay for a yard service…which means just about any hour of the day I can hear yard work. Having a law like that would hopefully force the commercial crews to switch to electric, though I’m sure it’s a bit of hardship to either switch equipment or give them a means to keep enough batteries/charging on hand for a 12-hour day.
  3. My post also said his sentence was bullshit
  4. Nice of them to sneak Woke in there…overused so much as a pointless label it’s lost any gravity, like ANTIFA. But is Mullet Free so of course the Post is cited. The story of how cops refused to do real detective work, forcing the women to band together and actually identify the sack of shit is quite a good story…and surely makes Nicole gush like Niagara Falls: https://www.kxan.com/news/like-im-just-your-prey-survivor-pushes-for-victim-rights-after-attacker-gets-probation-sentence/amp/ Obviously 10 years probation and sex offender label/education is bullshit, especially as he broke her leg…but trying to spin this as woke is stupid.
  5. I thought this thread had peaked with IMissWallyPryor…but then LonghornLove walk up music!!
  6. Well not to mention it’s The Spectator…so of course it’s spun
  7. This has got to be your shortest post ever
  8. It’s as high as he can count
  9. Wife and I fuckin loved this show. Sad we just finished it. Take some gummies, laugh at the clever humor and stay invested in all the characters through their trials…kinda the opposite of Yellowstones trajectory. Harrison Ford especially was written to play to his strengths, but everyone is believable with people like Liz’s husband a standout. Hopefully the magic doesn’t taper off ala Ted Lasso in S2.
  10. We saw it yesterday…on a side note holy shit Alamo food has gone downhill and up in price, at least it was awful yesterday. Oh well they had Pecan Porter. Good family movie…kids enjoyed the ride, I caught all the throwback references and any movie that’s under 2 hours gets my respect (have a burning hatred for overly long movies with too much filler). As far as movies I’ve caught with wife/kids in tow, well executed and entertaining enough. The music was where I caught the nostalgia hard though. Stuff from SNES Mario will always get my attention. It was all worked artfully into the overall score and didn’t blare out ‘and now something for you old folks who remember music from a game 30 years old!’
  11. Because she needs to look like the obedient, submissive retired housewife to deal with the overblown, misogynistic egos of the men she serves?
  12. Then you just install some simple piping
  13. Sell it to dumbasses as Raw Water
  14. Well there’s ‘social media’ (yes I get it’s a blog) in a nutshell…giving everyone a voice and potential audience. Malcontents will be dissatisfied with wherever they live, and certainly Karen it up on the interwebs. I moved here in 02 from Stillwater, taking an entry tech support job at $13/hour. Three years later I bought a house in Pville. Got married and built a house in Cedar Park in 2012, when the market was still recovering from ‘08 yet rates were low. Point being I’ll certainly acknowledge I was very fortunate to move to this area when I did, because no way I afford a home that way now. And yes the metro area has changed significantly. But I wouldn’t whine on social media if I tried to move to San Diego, lived there for three years, then proclaimed it’s changed too much and is too expensive.
  15. I knew all that media attention was going to make them get creative, but I didn’t expect the Rainey killer to get that gruesome wow
  16. Coming soon, the esteemed voting products company D.O. Minion
  17. Of course they settled. Is the special master still a thing?
  18. “Right after the jurors and alternate jurors were sworn in, one alternate juror told the judge he couldn’t participate. “I’ve been up all night — I can’t do this,” he said, without explaining further.” I hear man, if I were on that jury I’d have been up all night too…furiously jacking it to the thoughts of the beat down I was going to see the next day.
  19. Hate to dox the guy, but he sure looks like Matthew Figurelli
  20. Ehh two of the smartest people I know, who ‘paid attention in school and worked hard’ with graduate degrees…are in education, which we all know pays handsomely. I chose to go the professional route, probably average 25-30 hours/week of real work and make 2-3x their salaries. Besides, EVs in my personal experience, are predominately owned by people in the private sector…or the Indian families in my ‘hood. Dad drives a mode X/3/Y and mom drives a slate-gray Odyssey, almost without fail.
  21. This shit has had me worried for awhile now. We have a roaming band of 10-12 kids that are all grades 1-4 that play together, mine included. There’s a text chain where we communicate, they know not to run into yards of people they don’t know, and my 3rd grader has a watch we can keep in touch with. At this age they’re not out after dark, but it’s coming. However NextDoor is full of stories on package thieves, homeless people and general concern/anger about anything that isn’t white bread perfect. Last winter a gang of teens were walking down the street tipping over trash bins and generally being assholes…imagine how NextDoor was then. So I’m sure a certain group are constantly huddled around the tv sitting on a pile of guns On the other hand it’s cedar park, predominantly Indian and Asian families…so I doubt most are packing heat, but my Cajun neighbor has pistols all over his house and the rest of their street was covered in One Family crap last election…and leading killer of young kids ya know.
