  1. Heard this story on Texas Standard this week about what happens when ICE raids meatpacking plants out in small town Texas. Hint: it ain't natives who show up for job interviews. https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/cactus-texas-immigration-raid-slaughterhouse-2006-panhandle/
  2. DOGE apparently has God mode to pretty much all federal systems. Which means the systems, from a security standpoint, are all irrevocably compromised and will have to be rebuilt from the ground up at great expense to taxpayers. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43112084
  3. The GOP pledged to plant a trillion trees to combat climate change. There's currently about 3 trillion trees on earth. Where the fuck are they going to find the space to plant an additional trillion? It's not a serious solution, it's just a side show that they never plan on following through on, much like Hyperloop and the 1994 GOP health plan.
  4. This is r/conservative not bleak?
  5. "eggs cost so much that alex bregman could only afford to buy 5 million dozen a year"
  6. Had more than a few bacon dogs in Oakland last summer. Watch out for the serranos.
  7. must notify abusive parents if the kid is trans, but don't dare tell the parents if students are abusive
  8. When you text customer service and immediately get 4 messages back, the first that your message has been received, the second from a 'person' who introduces themselves, a third from said 'person' who says they will be happy to help, and then a fourth from said 'person' asking if this is my preferred phone number. Motherfucker that could have been one, maybe two messages, and I wouldn't have had to hear 4 notification dings in short succession. And no, I don't want you to email me, I gave you a burner phone number and that should be good enough. Also that there's no setting on my phone that will automatically suppress notification dings for the next few minutes after one is received unless i reset it by checking the notifications in between.
  9. his brain is utter mush. and has been for years. person woman man camera tv
  10. Someone still clapped
  11. It's not like oil production doesn't have an issue with light pollution - the flaring in the Permian is unbelievable flying over west Texas at night The point isn't that wind or solar doesn't have these issues, it's that it's so much of the pot calling the kettle black. Frankly I think the ruined view argument is overblown by developers who don't want coastal wind. The view from Galveston already has a shit ton of lights from platforms and ship traffic.
  12. Always love these footprint comparisons. My dude go look at Texas in Google maps south of San Antonio. Those aren't windmills. You can farm under a windmill. You can't farm on those caliche tank batteries. And I can see where damn near every pipeline in the Houston area is because there is nothing on top of them. We can build transmission. Just requires some old fashioned will.
  13. In penance I present naoch
  14. very jealous that NM (and i think the western reaches of texas) have green chile year round at WB. FYI they usually also have monterrey jack slices (which iirc is processed cheese), in addition to the shredded cheese which i mentioned above, which is a cheddar heavy blend with (i think) jack.
  15. Harris was never going to chide Europeans for enforcing their laws against Nazis
  16. there's that tech math being put to good use
