  1. We have still only had one day of 100 degrees and it was only at Mabry and it was only for about 2 hours (June 14). We have only hit 99 twice (the day before and the day after the 100). Obviously we have topped 100 a few times with the heat index, but this is all still pretty out of expectations and welcomed.
  2. Given the increases in property values, the passage of every bond vote presented to the public, all of the money spent on homelessness and now the new light rail plan, I would say that the "Austin Bills" is very apropos
  3. From 73 to 81, the drinking age in Texas was 18. From 81 to 86 it was 19. It was raised back to 21 in 1986.
  4. It’ll never happen. Jerry has a Gentlemen’s Agreement with the NFL.
  5. Those fans barely attend their own home games. Do you really think they are going to attend away games?
  6. Ha! Didn’t even notice I had done that.
  7. I am out on Long Island now because my GF’s daughter is at college orientation. We were in the city Tuesday and Wednesday to visit my son in Williamsburg. This wasn’t an eating trip in any way but I had to come to this thread and tell you all that if you ever visit the city, you REALLY need to go have drinks and listen to the music at Hemelmans inside the Carlyle hotel. Seriously. Just do it.
  8. This has got to be the location on MOPAC near 183. That bartender there is a fucking clueless asshat that can't make drinks to save his fucking life. We quit going a few weeks ago because having to wait 15 minutes to order and then 15 minutes to get the drink before the fuckstick would even take you dinner order is fucking stupid. We sat and watched one day with a timer counting. There were exactly 16 other people at the bar. It took 24 minutes before I took a sip of my first drink.
  9. "Peak Oil" was invented in 1954 and was supposed to occur in 1970. It's now been pushed out to 2040.
  10. NO American troops to hide behind.
  11. Holy shit! If that photo is real, this is going down!
  12. Preseason ranking are aggies favorite time of year

  14. A cap will be needed when the athletes start realizing that NIL, coupled with portal, is basically like a free agency market with multiyear contracts to bind you to a school for any length of time.
  15. Please tell us that MFC Danger Girl has returned. Even if it is not the case, just tell us that anyway. And then repost the nudes. Thank you.
  16. IT security is like the old adage, "You don't have to be faster than the bear, only faster than your slowest friend". Or the simple act of just locking your car door. If you take a pretty much "just-over-the-bare-minimum" approach to securing your shit, the hackers will likely move on to one of the plethora of agencies/companies that don't lift a damn finger. If you have a bunch of fucksticks that fall for phishing, there is literally no excuse whatsoever to have not implemented a two factor authentication at this point. Simply applying patches to your servers and endpoints in a timely manner is probably putting a network ahead of the vast majority of the masses. Its a giant case of the ID Ten-T error.
  17. Apparently the internet does not remember everything. I just spent 15 minutes searching for the old Pancho's jingle "Raise the Flag" and it is no where to be found.
  18. I am 100% it is some Council staffer living off even more of our taxes.
  19. I suspect it had more to do with a gringo street sign maker fucking it up much further down the line.
  20. What a weird coincidence that this just happened three weeks ago. https://www.semiconductors.org/chips/
  21. I agree, it was simple sabre rattling, but then they worded it like this: "UK says they were just transiting an internationally recognized transit corridor" Which is a little bit disingenuous as to their true motives and course of action.
