  1. This sounds very "they were only interested in learning how to take off and fly, not how to land the plane."
  2. What's do we make of Evan Carter wanting to keep the specifics of his back injury "private" ???
  3. How's that Astrodome demolition coming along???
  4. Bringing back the barter system!!!
  5. That is not what I am saying, I was responding to the effect on their equipment and the reserves in the wells, and I already said that labor force could be a problem down the road. No snapping fingers here.
  6. Yeah, if (big if) they were to properly mothball everything then the short term effects on the wells and pipelines would be minimal. IMO, a bigger issue if they have drastically cut back production for a year+ then I would worry about skilled labor leaving the industry and never coming back. That takes real time and money to replace.
  7. https://fortworthreport.org/2025/02/12/new-hotel-mixed-use-development-could-replace-fort-worths-montgomery-street-antique-mall/ My mom: "What's going to happen to the Antique Mall?????" Me: "It's going to stop existing." lol This is super aggressive.
  8. I used to drive by there all the time when I worked out there a few years ago, I swear they used a piece of plywood on a hinge for a door for almost a year after I guess someone broke the glass in the door. It was secured with a latch and a padlock.
  9. That's not going to happen to Stripling. My wife is the architect on the new building/renovation (she did Paschal before this). I have no inside info, but my wife pointed out that Stripling now has several dedicated science rooms, a band hall among other things that are completely inappropriate for an elementary school or pretty much anything besides maybe a very small high school. Even FWISD wouldn't just walk away from all the bond money being spent there. Also, that pla presented last night is pretty dependent on some new money (most likely the form of a new medium sized bond) to add classrooms, etc. to the existing schools taking on students from the closed schools (maybe they can use some of the unspent 2021 bond money?). That's even a harder sell if they are viewed as wasting the existing bond money.
  10. Lol, I didn't see that slide. They were talking a bunch about a new 2000 student Benbrook High School that maybe would take WH kids?
  11. It's mostly elementary schools and a few middle schools. I'll post the ST story tomorrow. Western Hills Primary was one of the elementaries on the block.
  12. FWISD is currently having a board meeting with a consultant presenting consolidation options, one of the suggestions is folding North Hi-Mount into South Hi-Mount Mount.
  13. I've been watching this documentary called "Landman" and it shows that if you have a old vertical stripper well pumping a few barrels a day all you need to do is remove all the casing, preferably in just a few hours mostly at night, and you will be producing a couple hundred barrels a day no problem.
  14. A bit off topic, but anyone have a brand rec on a laptop these days? My mom is about to retire and has to turn her laptop in, she is wanting something like 16in, 500 gig, SSD 32 gig RAM, flexible $700-$800? No macs. Want the USB C for the docking station. I got a Dell I use at work and it is fine I guess?
  15. Ugh. I was definitely worried that the were releasing (the same version?) on OC and console at the same time. The dumbing down was inevitable.
