  1. Hopefully you don't get "Flowers on the Wall" stuck in your head again.
  2. So, in the shower on our phones generating deep fake porn with Sela Ward and myself in real-time?
  3. @Pato del Muerto when I first heard that song in the late 70s or early 80s on oldies radio, it was less than 25 years old. For reference, that would be like my kid hearing Baby One More Time by Britney Spears or Livin La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin.
  4. Best we can do is park a cell over 45th and Shoal Creek and try and have Shoal Creek overflow and top the 38th Street bridge.
  5. I wish Lobo/YGIFS were here to see this. I want to believe that Musk stole his wife (and she has to be very appealing to him, having birthed 3 kids in under 5 years) because the irony would be just off-the-charts and Miller was already a hateful little prick, so I'd imagine this would freak him the fuck out.
  6. I know half-a-dozen people who died from covid over the span of 2 years and it's probably a bias of some sort because I'm pushing 50 and so my aunts/uncles/older in-laws/friends' parents are all in their 70s-90s so I knew a shitload of senior citizens/elderly. But on the isolation thing, help me out here, I'm not trying to be a dick or insensitive, but when you say "isolation" what are you talking about? We were never stuck in our homes like the Chinese were and I'm always curious when I hear people talk about "isolation". In my case, my family, weather permitting, were out walking or biking every single day, walking around parks or just down the creek, we were driving out to pick up food at various restaurants and grocery stores (whose employees were obviously coming in), we were getting stuff delivered from Amazon, Walmart, etc. I was on Zoom 2-3 hours or more a day, my kids were on Zoom 2-3 hours a day with classmates. We had multiple evenings during the week where we were on Zoom with my wife's Sunday school group playing games or just shooting the shit. I had 3 different zoom calls setup every week with various parts of our family where we'd have anywhere from 5-10 family members on a call, plus I had a regular zoom call going with about 20 high school friends (and prior to that our interaction was the occasional text or facebook message or like). In fact, I spoke with some family and friends far, far more during COVID than I did before or after. I mean I had a calendar on the wall listing all of different things we had going on every single day or night in terms of zoom or phone calls or online gaming with friends (Roll20.net was amazing). So when I hear people talk about "isolation" during COVID, I'm always curious, because I was arguably more connected with family/friends and some people I did some freelance projects with during COVID than I ever have been before or after. In fact, our older relatives that we rarely talked to, we were talking to every week or two for an hour or more, and checking in on them, etc. Now it drove me crazy that my kids and wife were home all the time, but that was just a lot more family time than anticipated. I will say it did affect kids in school at certain ages - that needs to be studied, although many have seemed to have bounced back or even forgotten about it (depends on the age of the kids). What I'm getting at, is what kind of "isolation" did those people go through, that died? I freely admit that I've joked about how all of the preppers who had their bunkers or survival closets stocked full of Jim Bakker 'Bucket of Mashed Potatoes that will feed a family of five for a year' were melting down that they couldn't go to SuperCuts or eat in at Chili's, but what did isolation look like for the people you are talking about? Because I always felt like we were never fully isolated - we could still get out and walk or drive around, or put on our masks and go stand 6 feet apart in HEB.
  7. They've got three young kids (she had I think all three within 3-4 years). Miller is in D.C. as long as Trump is. If she packs up the kids and follows Musk back to Austin...Miller getting cucked by Musk so publicly...
  8. So Austin Energy says power outages are down from 62,000 people to 52,000 people.
  9. Are we talking about a constantly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy?
  10. Well-written and tightly edited. Just a fantastic movie.
  11. Looks like a lot of stupidity driving into it.
  12. She works full time for Musk, is she gonna bare him some xBabies? I don't think Musk would be dumb enough to fuck around with Miller's wife though. That's inviting Miller to sic a lot of government resources on Tesla and SpaceX.
  13. So the funnel cloud spotted near Georgetown/Liberty Hill was..a landspout funnel cloud. Weather explainer: Landspout funnel cloud spotted in Central Texas. What is it? He added that these type of funnel clouds are usually weak in nature, but in rare instances can become very strong. “So while they’re usually weak in nature, then they can still do and cause damage. This one looked to have lasted for about a minute and a half, according to some reports we had from emergency managers in the Georgetown area,” Bannin said. He went on to describe the cloud, saying that the clouds above the funnel or tornado don’t rotate, unlike supercell thunderstorms that rotate along with any tornado
  14. Not 2 inches in 30 minutes.
  15. Based on photos from a friend, looks like it got within 2-3 feet of the bottom of the 38th Street Bridge over Shoal Creek.
  16. Can’t find it but a friend sent this
  17. Sources tell me you have 12-15 minutes to finish her off.
  18. Think I saw the hook on the radar if so.
  19. Looks like 7-8 will be when shit hits the fan, if it’s going to.
