  1. You are severely under-representing the drug and alcohol addicted Information Technology community that resides here, sir.
  2. Be careful where you post this. You might end up with a bunch of 3 star recruits wearing aggie shit with their hands out show up.
  3. Call your shots. I live near 2222/360 and I guess the gauge on 360 will get 3.5" between now and Monday noon. Also, this event seems big enough that @phdhorn should be here.
  4. It's not like there is going to be some sort of official announcement, but I think we can safely say that the counteroffensive has begun, right?
  5. Maybe he just wants to be able to beat the fuck out of women and not get in trouble for it?
  6. Precip amounts for this weekend seem to be on the rise for Austin. Seeing 3.11" in NW Austin for Saturday.
  7. So should all negotiated contract be able to simply be voided at your pleasure, or just this one in particular.
  8. So you’re good with just simply reneging on the deal that was negotiated and codified decades ago, before the dams were first built, and just fucking over all of the families that were\are doing nothing more than what was promised them? Just simply cut them off and offer no reimbursement or payment for their generations of work? Seriously, if you don’t like the deal that was previously made, renegotiate it and make sure everyone is compensated appropriately. It’s no different than any other contract. You can’t just decide “fuck ‘em” and stop the deal.
  9. Yeah…those folks that were there making a living and promised water long before you decided to go wakeboarding on lake Travis. If you want to take away what they were promised and afforded to them, you should pay them out on the lost wages of their livelihood and I am sure they will gladly retire.
  10. There is already a downstream project in the works. They fucked up the design and thought it was complete 18 moths ago but realized it leaked so they had to basically start over. I think they believe it will be ready within the year now, but even once it is complete it will still need to be filled. It is a 90k acre foot reservoir that is designed to collect excess rain that flows out of Austin or below Austin. It is basically held in reserve to be used to provide water to the rice farmers downstream and holding back more upstream for use in Austin. it wouldn’t do much good now obviously because the current drought is so long that it would have been depleted, but it will be good in the future.
  11. He's had ten months to take the city and has failed, but was planning to have it completely taken in the next 5 days if he would have just received ammo? Riiiiggghhhtttt.... If I am Shogiu. I would send a pile of ammo so large that he couldn't deny it. Then on May 10th publicly ask why he failed at taking the city he promised to take.
  12. Texas Monthly weighs in: https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/sorry-true-crime-fans-but-theres-no-serial-killer-in-austin/
  13. To slacks credit, the truth actually is somewhere between the two sides presented here and all around social media. It just happens to be similar to the way the number two is somewhere between one and one thousand.
  14. I used to base my concern over storms on @phdhorn warnings. Now I just wait to see if Yoemans has his jacket off and sleeves rolled.
  15. 6-7 years ago down on South Congress for the Lone Star Round Up Hot Rod Show, hail blew in around 9:30 PM and all of those guys and perfectly restored cars were scrambling like hell.
  16. Reminder: if you don't have enough garage space, throw a paddleboard or kayak or bags of mulch on top of your ride to keep it from getting pelted.
  17. Yes. I believe they are called Sidewinders. Now I see that dahobbs beat me to the punch.
  18. Apparently Fox7 is going to to a piece on this story during tonight's 9:00 PM broadcast.
  19. Texas Declared Independence on March 2, but Sam Houston won Independence on April 21. Hope that siesta was good, Santa Anna.
  20. That is a terribly written and research London Daily Mail piece. Don't read too much into it.
  21. The facts of this particular case were always dubious, and it is very likely that Jimmy Fennel actually murdered Stacey Stites. However, the more you read up on Rodney Reed himself, the more you realize he is still a huge piece of shit that should be in prison regardless of the facts of the Stites case.
