  1. If only we had a Council Member we could call to get a task force created….
  2. Holy fuck! This is too funny to only be displayed on this page once.
  3. Absolutely that is true, but they were going to find that shit anyway if you already had the facebook/twitter/instagram account.
  4. The idea that the government doesn't already have your facial recognition stored is pretty far fetched at this time. You renew your drivers license every few years with a new photo of your face taken each time. I am not defending this in any way, but that train left the station 10 years ago, if not longer ago.
  5. Oh, you mean sort of like this? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/29/nyregion/indictments-nyc-gay-bars-homicide.html
  6. They appear to be pretty good at judging just about everything except themselves.
  7. Yes, but I can't imagine why you'd skip THAT one?
  8. I am of the opinion that Jimbo is going to become such an asshole to the admin, players, and fans, and his press conferences will become so terrible that they won't have any option but fire him and pay the contract.
  9. The good news is that I think immamac lifted the policy that you are required to open every single thread and post on it. So if you come across something now that seems like it doesn't interest you or is repetitive, you can simply not click it and move on with your life.
  10. Since Open Carry was permitted in 2016, I have seen someone open carrying a grand total of four times. One rifle over the back, two holstered pistols, one pistol in the waistband.
  11. I almost never carry mine anywhere. It is accessible in the bedroom in case I hear weird shit outside my door in the middle of the night, which has come up twice in the last six years. I will bring it along if I am going camping,, but don't actually carry it on my person, just leave it in the tent/cabin. Carried it once when a buddy and I were going to do a craigslist sale and the buyer asked a couple of peculiar questions, but it ended up being for naught.
  12. Maybe, but there is not a single way for the transit people to manipulate or bend the numbers where light rail is anything but a massive cost spread across the entire population of which fewer than 20% even utilize it.
  13. The difference between cost per lane mile driven on a freeway is orders of magnitude better then the costs of passenger miles travelled on a light rail system.
  14. Steel, stiff shafts. Bought new in 2021. Grips in great shape. https://austin.craigslist.org/spo/d/austin-ping-g410-irons-red-dot/7604039122.html
  15. I know this is a sucker bet, but I actually think Watson has a legit chance to make some headway here. First and foremost, all he has to do is just not be Adler, which is pretty easy in it's own right. Second, if he just stops the freefall spending of a generic "homeless" issue and start focusing that shit to specific goals with discernible outcomes/successes. Third, just start enforcing the god damn laws that are already on the books and re-iterated by the voters. He knows how Austin is viewed by the rest of the State and by the Lege, and he also knows that just making literally ANY positive headway in this arena will cement him a pretty good legacy. I know, I know....
  16. Hmmm, that sounds lovely. I'll have that, please.
  17. So Putin had Chinese and was hungry again an hour later? * I'll see myself out...
  18. I am willing to wager that Ms. McGee is about to get a $500k check.
  19. Putin has to know he can't win without Wagner, right?
  20. https://www.loop360project.com/projects.htm You ain't lying. Since they approved the plan, they have added more lights and SURPRISE they are not in the scope of the light removal plan. I think the 360/183 intersection is being improved as part of the new 183 north toll/expansion.
  21. The construction to remove two of the lights is already underway. The third and fourth lights are fully planned and designed, but won’t commence construction for a while. They will start moving utilities at Lakewood in about a year. The 360 lights are not a good example here but I agree with your overall sentiment.
