    In 2016, Obama should have made a recess appointment or whatever to put Garland on the bench. I would have declared that the Senate was afforded an ample opportunity to "advise and consent" on Garland, and abdicated that responsibility. Should have used US Army or National Guard troops to escort Garland up the steps if you had to.

    I posted it to Youtube, but just let me know if you want it taken down. It;s too good to not share with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMoj3FmmGWM

    As the crow flies, it's only 130 miles from downtown Austin to Lavaca Bay. Edit: beaten by Bolverk. I should read the whole thread before replying to stuff.

    I need want my own private complex of underground ICBM silos. For self defense. (The 2nd refers to Arms, not just guns.)

    Wouldn't mind seeing Russian air defenses degraded to the point where we could impose a NATO no-fly zone over strategic areas...

    I began my carefully curated collection of original paintings 25 years ago with a scintillating vista of an alien landscape crafted by an anonymous master artist working on the sidewalk on 6th street. He used nothing more than some spray cans and folded newspaper, but the result was spectacular. It's displayed proudly as the centerpiece of my art room.

    but the NWS forecast this AM said "heavy rain" tonight

    At Monaco they should go full retro--make all the teams change to small vintage-style cars from the '60s, and bring back hay bales etc. for barriers.

    Just curious, are there fish in Waller Creek?

    You can see that the line north of Austin put the brakes on and doesn't want to come any further south. Keep the hail away but I need some rain to wash in the ironite and weed/feed I just put down in anticipation of this.

    Yesterday I swear KXAN's forecast said 90% chance of rain on Sunday. Now it's 50%. The NWS forecast said periods of very heavy rain. Now it doesn't. The fuck is going on.

    "Bad with rain" does not compute

    I don't know if Paxton has any actual evidence of a crime being committed, but regardless this is a really shitty thing to do. How do you sleep at night, you fucking cockeyed carpetbagger. https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/paxton-moves-to-shut-down-charity-housing-undocumented-migrants/

    Can Trump still take an oath to "preserve, protect, and defend" the Constitution? Cuz on Jan. 6, I don't think he was doing that.

    My HP-20S from my college days still going strong, well after 30 years.

    1985 JVC amplifier/EQ/tuner/turntable rack system, still has original speakers. Been played loudly on a regular basis for almost 40 years. 1987 Zenith Hi-Fi VHS VCR. Still plays tapes, but the tuner is fried so can't make recordings. An old Panasonic cordless landline phone of indeterminate age (at least 15 years). I recently retired a 2005 Panasonic Plasma TV which was still working. I still have a '97 Sony Trinitron CRT television, which works but is basically never used anymore. Moral of the story: electronics made in Japan were good shit.

    The line west of Austin seems to be shrinking and tracking more to the north. Guess I should be happy with what I got earlier tonight, but was hoping for an even bigger dump into the lakes.

    Everything was better when the vast majority of people only had access to a daily local or regional newspaper, and a half-hour of broadcast network news from NBC, CBS, ABC, or PBS. Cable news, and especially click-driven internet news, has poisoned people's brains.

    I don't get the apathy from young voters, especially after everything that's happened since 2016. Cynicism, yes, but not apathy. It's like saying that Mon Mothma broke a promise on my pet issue so I'mma let Vader/Palpatine have it, both sides are the same.

    Driving to work this AM made me wish the Central Texas population would decline a whole fuckin' lot. It shouldn't take 45 minutes to go 6 miles. (In 2010, I could do this same drive in 10-12 minutes.) At this rate, in 2038 the same route will take 3 hours.

    So, more like Concrete Osteoporosis?

    In NE Austin, my 2024 market value is actually ~1% less than my 2023 value. Most of the homes around me either stayed the same or went up very slightly (a couple of percent). Not too bad.

    I'm not that optimistic about the Texas electorate "waking up" anytime soon. The Republicans can shut down their publicly funded jobs and schools, fuck up HEB, take away their Social Security, and more... and those voters will just blame it on immigrants, minorities, liberals, OBAMA, or whatever strawman Trump et al designate as the target.

    Example number eleventy billion of Republicans being against using government funds or services to help anyone--except for people and organizations that are connected to them. Even so, this is an alarmingly crass and cruel example of those in power punching down. Despite years of this shit somehow I still continue to be surprised at the depths these shitheels will sink to. They literally have no shame.
