    Where do the cruise ships tie up? Seems like developing the area around USS Texas into tourist/historical area. Make money off those passengers coming and going.

    There's a big new cruise terminal at 10 and most of the parking is between 10 and 15. It's a great location for the battleship so long as the industrial bit between 15 and 18 goes away (which, as I mentioned up thread, is the plan iirc).

    When the HEB bakery tortillas first came I thought they were great. Could not get enough. It seems that lately they just do not seem to have any flavor or taste. Anyone notice this?

    Sorry about the 'rona, hope you recover your taste buds

    I don't know, discussing VWs seems apropos to me considering who created them and where we are now as a country.

    This isn't the leopards eating faces thread

    This guy has a PhD in economics from Harvard and has taught in the UC System (although not Berkeley or LA).

    And he is a MOTHERFUCKING IDIOT.

    The dumbest sonofabitch in the Trumpverse after der fuhrer himself.

    Based on the evidence on display day in and day out of officials in the Republican party, we need to reconsider what universities are actually elite.

    have you missed all the leopards going after women's faces after they voted to inflict harm on others, but only after neglecting the fact that anyone using the term 'DEI Hire' views them as one? it's amazing people are still somehow caught off guard.

    If the leopards eating faces thread would have some focusness it would be easier to find this out

  6. Long term home will be pier 15

    Quote

    Ending years of sometimes contentious deliberations, the Galveston Wharves Board of Trustees agreed Tuesday afternoon to berth the Battleship Texas at Pier 15, securing a long-term home for the historic warship and adding an important new element to its growing suite of attractions.

  7. Y'all haven't figured out that you should get to the theater 15 minutes after the scheduled time? There's at least 25 minutes of ads, so that gives me 10+ minutes to get snacks and hit the head. 

    Complaints: at $15 a bucket popcorn has no excuse not to be fresh. Fuck Regal for switching to Pepsi and charging for japs for my naoch. Bringing a small can with me next time.

    That Texas could be so big and so backward, is disgusting:

    State and local health officials are setting up vaccine clinics and encouraging people to get the shot, which is more than 97% effective at warding off measles.

    But neither Gov. Greg Abbott nor lawmakers from the hardest hit areas have addressed the outbreak publicly in press conferences, social media posts or public calls for people to consider getting vaccinated. State and local authorities in West Texas have not yet enacted more significant measures that other places have adopted during outbreaks, like excluding unvaccinated students from school before they are exposed, or enforcing quarantine after exposure.

    The response to Texas’ first major public health crisis since COVID is being shaped by the long-term consequences of the pandemic, experts say — stronger vaccine hesitancy, decreased trust in science and authorities, and an unwillingness from politicians to aggressively push public health measures like vaccination and quarantine.

    instead they're addressing important issues:
