  1. You seem to be giving them a lot of credit for some forethought and intelligence.
  2. Drove from NW Austin to Georgetown this morning. The only places with any ice are overpasses/bridges/culverts. The flyover from EB Toll 45 to NB I35 was the only place I felt slightly nervous.
  3. It's Groundhog Day. I think that means if a dead collie comes out of the graveyard and see's his shadow then next year is the year!
  4. There was a new law passed in like 2007 or sometime around then and City Limits hunting isn’t always illegal now. Now, to your point, one of the requirements is that the land must have been annexed after 1981 so I am not sure how that applies to Great Hills area. https://eparisextra.com/regional-news/hunting-inside-city-limits-know-before-you-go/
  5. There is pink shit blowing in from the west on the radar. About to hit the TravCo line.
  6. And it was literally covering the entire state at the same time. Most storms blow over and hit different regions as it moves across the state. That frees up the need for resources in one area as the storm moves on. That combination of things (5 straight days of below freezing, with precipitation, and occurring over the entire state at once) will never happen again in any of our lifetimes.
  7. The fact that the weather getting down to 31 degrees with the potential have a light mist, in January, requires this much discussion in a real indictment on what we have become as a society.

  9. I got my first J&J vax in mid December because I saw the omicron writing on the wall. I don’t see how anyone is going to avoid this one. With people able to carry and spread it for up to TWO WEEKS before they are symptomatic or testing positive, coupled with vaccines not protecting you from acquiring it, is just a recipe for it to spread like wildfire. My first symptoms started around 5 am on Thursday. Was mostly fine until about 4 that afternoon. I basically had very minor symptoms with the exception of being physically lethargic, like barely moving at all for 36 hours. Never lost taste/smell, minor fever (99.4), very minor sore throat and that’s really about all. By 5 pm on Saturday I was done with meds and up and doing shit. By this morning I was 100% done with it. My GF started her symptoms last night about 11. She’s fully vaxxed and boosted. She is doing better than me in the tiredness/lethargy, but she is having more headache, more coughing. It’s been less than 24 hours since her onset, but she doesn’t feel like she has peaked yet. Stay safe, degenerates.
  10. Fuck all of you. If some dares to accidentally post something about a '23 recruit in the '22 thread, they get shouted down by five posters in 2 seconds. If someone spends fifteen fucking pages about shitty movies, it is perfectly fine. Just because nothing is going on doesn't mean you should fill the fucking thread with drivel. All that does is make it difficult to figure out when shit actually happens because you have to sift through 10 pages of faggotry and rambling. When there is no rain for a few weeks, no one fucks up the rain thread with talk about movies and chicken fried cocks. When no one posts food in the Shank thread, no fill the fucking thread with talk about harry goddamn potter. There are threads for movies, there are threads for harry potter, there are threads for fucking cheese. Use those if that is what you want to talk about. Continuing to do it in this thread is stupid af.
  11. At least, as far as I know, the fucking football board doesn't talk about harry fucking potter and cheese every god damn week.
  12. Does anyone know if there is a reporting mechanism, or a statistic anywhere that can directly relate the percentage increase in tax valuations directly to all of the bonds approved by voters in the last 5 years?
  13. I am pretty sure he sold me my ticket the National Championship game and I sat with he and his wife and his kid.
  14. Sark is next level recruiting. Convinced him to commit and then send him on a trip to Cancun so Jimbo can’t bug him until signing day. Brilliant.

  16. If QE really makes a decision on going to Tech instead of Texas because his jag buddy is going to go there, then he really is far more immature, and his father is far less the ringmaster of this situation, than anyone has let on.
