  1. Why is this hard to understand? Strong wind breaks tree. Tree falls on power line. Power outage. Am I missing sarcasm or something here?
  2. I think we'd all agree to give the whole of Victoria, Texas to any nation that wants it.
  3. I bet that every time he plays golf, he shoots an 18.
  4. I don’t think this thread is the place for it, nor the other China thread, but I’d love to see the surly collective take on this topic.
  5. Well it appears that we are already half way complete and #3 seems to be coming soon.
  6. Well, one of them was apparently conveniently stolen a few years ago. If you believe the defense, that exact weapon was then used to kill wife and son. Was that rifle ever reported stolen to the police? I don't believe it was ever conclusively proven that the Murdaugh's actual guns killed them. Only that the gun and ammo used to kill them was consistent with guns and ammo that the Murdaugh's had owned at some point. And that the guns/ammo were fairly unique.
  7. Seems like they are just stalling to get through the day so they can come in tomorrow with a night to prepare their real questions.
  8. Watched the Netflix about this family last night. Holy fucksticks they are crazy. Dead gay kid, dead maid, dead teenage girl, dead wife, dead son.
  9. I moved here in 1983. In 1984, Lake Travis was as low as it is right now (639'). In 1985, I slid down the 18th fairway of Yaupon Golf Course in several inches of snow.
  10. I'm more concerned that someone thinks that the escalator working at DFW has shitall to do with the US Government helping Ukraine fight a war.
  11. There is traffic enforcement in Austin. The problem is that is in only performed in two places and only at rush hours. North MOPAC and South MOPAC. You can see 3-4 officers shooting radar North MOPAC between 183 and Parmer every single weekday morning. These locations allow them to write a lot of tickets in a condensed area in a short amount of time. So when more pedestrians die on surface streets downtown or in the neighborhoods and on the arterials like congress, burnet, lamar, etc, and the public gets back in an uproar about lack of traffic enforcement, Chacon can print out the report and say, "Look, we wrote 1 brazillion tickets last month, which is on par with every other years. We're doing our part!" But no one ever notices that those tickets were all written to people going 70 mph in a 65 mph zone on a freeway, where there is never any traffic complaints or deaths and all of the known traffic issues and red light running continues to occur in all of the same places it has always happened.
  12. Local Police Chiefs from all of the Austin suburbs were telling that joke pretty much the entire time Art held the position in Austin.
  13. IF, and obviously that is a HUGE IF, some sort of coup were to happen in Russia and some other mafia boss were to come in and be running the show, and that person was trying to play nice, even if temporarily, just to get the sanctions eased, one of the the biggest negotiating chips that person/group would have at that moment would be to offer up Putin to the Hague. The world would have to think long and hard about how to respond to that.
  14. Sooooo…they are, in essence, squeezing their nuts to feel the pain of the team? Sounds familiar….
  15. Former Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo calls on Gov. Abbott, Legislature to step up after illegal street racing incidents https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/art-acevedo-austin-street-racing-incidents/269-f00615fd-7479-4269-b0c6-34abf9b9abef To steal a line from Pulp Fiction
  16. If APD is really going to go with the story that it took 20 minutes to respond because there weren't any cruisers in the area, what the fuck would they do if a shooter started rampaging through Austin High or O'Henry Middle School? Either the cops are fucking lying or the Council needs to be ready to explain a half hour response to a mass shooting event. It's one or the other and both need to be fucking fixed.
  17. The key thing to remember here is that there is only ONE aggie in here. If there were two or more aggies in here, they would not be able to control themselves calling us all sips and blaming is for the entire Ukrainian invasion.
  18. Yeah, Prigozhin won't be with us much longer. Waylon Jennings sang a song: "Ain't livin' long like this am I baby?"
