Yes, because you have an example of one single other shirt in existence, that means his "hustle game is weak" because his is at the printer less than five hours after the event. Eat a cock, fuckface.

Thanks. His day job is repping expensive men's italian clothing, so he has all of the clothing industry connections to get them done quickly. He is definitely a hustler.

This is awesome. My son is actively working on a similar shirt as we speak.

It's funny how people can all experience the same event and how they report it. My son was at work in Chelsea when it happened. He immediately texted me and said "Dad, in a about 30 minutes you are going to be inundated with news about the New York earthquake. Just know that it was nothing. I felt it for a few seconds and it was over. It was barely anything." My GF's daughter lives 20 miles away (as the crow flies), and her report to her mom was "It shook so bad I almost fell out of my bed".

I am not going to cloak room this thread but there are ways to work that.

Why are we still pretending to be friends with China and doing business with them?

I assume that is to try and get all of the russians in crimea to move out faster, rather than just openly divulging war strategy.

It wasn't that they were off by that much. They knew that they were underbudgeting so that the number would look better on a ballot. Once it was approved by the voters, there is no repercussion to saying "whoops! sorry. we missed it by a few billion".

Meh...City Managers get fired all of the time. It's part of the job. It is usually because they have been made the scapegoat for something they had nothing to do with, or because there was Council turnover and the new council wanted to hire their own guy. I'm not saying this is a good hire or that every CM that gets fired isn't for a good reason. I am simply saying that City Manager's get fired all of the time for a lot of reasons that don't necessarily mean they suck.

Meh...it's got dark tint and air conditioned seats

The post i quoted and responded to clearly stated that all cops are bad.

Let’s get rid of all of them then. Let’s just roll with no police and see what happens. Obviously they are serving no purpose at all right now. So we can save a few hundred million a year and all of Austin will be really happy to be rid of them.

I have a hybrid of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sinsemilla. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff

So the guy that is crazy can be locked in prison. That is exactly my point. I understand all of those other things you mentioned about ability to incarcerate and that the prisons are the biggest provider of mental health, etc . I know that because those facts have been brought up in this thread, and every other like it, ad nauseum. Again, no one thinks this is ideal or best practice or what the long term solution is. But as bad as those things are, they should still not be a deterrent to locking up someone that attacked a person with a machete for no reason.

I wasn't aware that the prisons got a vote or an option on who the courts sentence to prison? Are you saying that the prisons have a right or ability to deny a prisoner that has been convicted to prison time?

I still get it. There are no good options. But that is exactly why I am asking what some of y'all think should be done right now with the violent/aggressive/repeat offenders? Just keep letting them out until some magical cure that everyone agrees on and funds? At some point, the most violent repeat offenders have to be locked up to protect society. No one wants that. No one if hoping that is the permanent fix. But RIGHT NOW, in this immediate environment, that is the only option. Repeatedly freeing them to commit progressively more dangerous and violent crimes is ridiculous. Anytime there is discussion here of a violent/aggressive/ repeat offender, it seems that it cannot be discussed here in a vacuum of "this one particular guy is fucking crazy and needs to be locked up". It always devolves into the context of trying to solve the entire homeless/mental illness issue in one conversation that goes in endless circles.

I know the toolbox is limited, and I understand that, but there are a couple of posters here that do nothing but deride the people who are in favor of locking up the most dangerous people, and then go on to tell the same story of how the system is broke. But they never, ever offer any alternatives or solutions that can actually be achieved.

I’m really curious about the opinions and ideas of what can and should be done, in the current environment and budget constraints, for people who attack random and innocent people with machetes, and destroy a small business owner repeatedly. Sure, you can sit and bitch and moan about mental health care and unfit to stand trial, but what do you actually propose be done with the machete guy RIGHT NOW? What do you propose should be done with the guy that repeatedly breaks the window of the exact same establishment, right now? Im not talking about pie in the sky perfect plan with unlimited budget that everyone magically agrees upon. I am talking about today. Because some of you seem to be content to just keep letting these obvious dangers to society keep getting let out, knowing damn well they are going to do the same shit again and again. Is that it? You are good with the way Garza is handling this right now? Are you fine with the collateral damage now as long as you believe it is going to eventually lead to some kind of reform? If the guy was breaking into your house once a month and threatening your family would you feel the same? Or is it because it is a business owner downtown or some rando on a hiking trail that you are fine that they keep getting set free to do shit again? Seriously, what are y’all’s recommendation for the immediate problem, within the immediate environment of public opinion, politics and budget?

You know what else is not appropriate in today's society? ATTACKING PEOPLE RANDOMLY, WITHOUT PROVOCATION, WITH FUCKING MACHETES. I don't give a single fuck if that guy stays in a mental health facility for the rest of his life if it keeps one single other person from being attacked with a machete.

Exactly. This gives you a better idea of what "Sometimes Island" really is. And for perspective, that cliff on the left side of that ridge is the deepest point in the lake at about 185' when the lake was full.

Few things: 1. There may be more people with straws in the water now, but 4-5 years ago the LCRA dramatically changed the thresh holds that need to be met to supply water downstream to rice farmers and environmental concerns in the estuaries. 2. The Arbuckle Reservoir in Lane City in Wharton will eventually come online this year after years of delays. It will hold 90k acre feet, which is about 75% of what Austin uses in a year. Obviously it is downstream and cannot be used to provide water for use in Austin, but the idea is that you can use it for the downstream needs and send less out of Buch/Travis to do it. And it collects all of that water that falls south of lake Travis that currently just flows to the Gulf with no benefit. 3. "Droughts end in floods". I've lived on or near Lake Travis since 1983 and there is definitely a cycle. The lake can be completely filled in three days if the right storm hits at the right place. Think Memorial Day weekend.

Well I guess I’ll find out. I take delivery on Friday. A5 45 Sportback. Premium Plus. Blackout package. Convenience package. Air conditioned seats. Black paint, dark brown interior. $3k off msrp and includes 4 yr/50k mile warranty and 4 years of maintenance. It will be on the market at 3 years and 360 days.

That is the one. I am more curious as to why the case against Robert Chody seems to have all but disappeared. No news on it in over a year.

Maybe she's just jealous that those victims were getting more dick from attractive men than she was? Now that she's found herself a "boyfriend in Atlanta" she does not feel the need to murder as many gay men?

I’m looking at a 2024 A5 45 Sportback. Anyone have a newer model A4 or A5 that they have opinions on? Thanks
