  1. Someone has to pay for all of Chody's lawsuits and all of the grift on the Wilco Commissioners Court.
  2. Then why do more and more homeless continue moving to Austin from all over Texas, despite Austin having a much, much higher housing costs than the places they are moving from?
  3. There was a long time, director level person at different business unit at my place of employment, that as of just like 3-4 years ago I think, still had his secretary print out all of his emails and have them sitting on his desk for him to read when he had time.
  4. I was I was just about to post this guess as well
  5. I'd like to "tap" her face with a crowbar, I suppose.
  6. I was allowed JUST LAST WEEK to decommission a virtual server running Server 2003 and a legacy RMS in an Informix db. The thing would barely even run in our VM environment anymore, could only be accessed by RDP and had a single local admin user. It housed a bunch of records that spanned from 1999 to 2003. I first tried to decom this POS back in 2010 but the legal people and the records retention people would not let me. It took a $75k conversion project that lasted four years, plus paying someone to scan and catalog 37 boxes of documents before they'd let me finally pull the plug. When I sent the email out informing everyone that it was finally gone, I included this exact gif and two of the recipients didn't understand why I included it.
  7. Is there a petition? Where do I sign? I have a business unit I support that claims that it is a requirement. So fucking worthless. My GF just bought a new MFP for the house and her son set it up for her. He found a telephone cable in the box and plugged it into an actual landline port in the wall and tried to fax. He was fiddling with it for like an hour and not telling me what he was doing. He finally asked me if we would ever fax anything and I said "absolutely not". He showed me that he had plugged it all in and was trying to test it and couldn't figure out why it was not working. I had to inform him that the "tiny ethernet port" that he plugged into was an old landline phone jack that had not been active since he has been alive. He looked at me and asked "what is a landline?".
  8. I know you don't really believe that the people that are actively trying to help themselves to the point of qualifying for and affording subsidized housing in Mueller are even close to the same type of situation as the people that live under IH35 and 183 that the City is wanting to put into the hotel mentioned above. While I do believe that you personally would be ok with the latter, I do not believe that the rest of Mueller would be.
  9. Right. Me calling you out for a shitty, partisan, lazy take means I should join her campaign. Good one.
  10. Are you saying that fucking council people choose? So you are upset because the FUCKING COUNCIL PERSON FROM THAT DISTRICT wants a fucking say in where it goes in their district? Or should she just sit back and do whatever the fuck the other council people tell her? Heaven forbid that someone work for the constituents of their district. As terrible as she is, she is actually just doing her fucking job here, but since it goes against your belief you are trying to make it look bad.
  11. Really? Will there be one in Mueller? Or Tarrytown? Or Pemberton? Circle C? Who chooses where they go in "every district"?
  12. Where do you live? Since you are so agreeable, why don't we just put right next to your house?
  13. I don't even think she married into one. I think residency requirements were why she was "living with her parents" with her husband during the campaigning.
  14. The first check must have cleared. It took less than two weeks. She has done a 180 degree about face on the "Save Austin Now" Homeless Camping Ban and now does NOT support it. I wonder how her unruly bunch of supporters that got her elected will take that?
  15. Seems fitting for him to attend the same college as Tate Pittman.
  16. Right? It’s like no one here has ever seen Roadhouse. Dalton drove the beater to work but kept the Mercedes under wraps.
  17. @phdhorn Current forecast aside, what do the long term forecasts say about the ongoing La Nina?
  18. "You're so drunk you're probably seeing double" "I've got two LB coaches. One for the each if ya."
  19. 18 months ago you would have been neg banned off of this site for saying that.
  20. In the last three pages of the “coaching staff” thread there are literally less than 10 posts about assembling the new coaching staff.
  21. Decided on a whim at lunch yesterday to head down for one night. Staying at Port Royal. Gigittys is officially gone. Hope they reopen somewhere else. The wharf are is coming along nicely. Went to Salty Dog and there wasn’t one person in the entire building wearing a mask. Blackened black drum with lobster sauce is still my favorite meal on this island. Probably going to check out of the room and sit by the pool for a few hours and then grab dinner at some place I’d never seen called Mac Daddies before heading back to Austin.
  22. I bet that tweet will make for some interesting conversations when that kid gets into their teens.
  23. Right, but by then I will have to spend 45 fucking minutes reading through bullshit to get tot he fucking part I care about. Just because there is no news to report does not mean everyone should just fill the fucking space with frivolous fucking banter. Go to other threads.
