  2. catturd is a police chief?
  3. Seriously y'all... I think AI is going to take over the world. You can't tell what's real and what is ChatGPT... Dear Houston Chronicle, As a proud member of the Texas A&M Aggie family, I feel compelled to voice my concerns about the increasingly overwhelming influence that t.u. and their Longhorn football program have over the college football landscape in our great state. It's no secret that the sips have always tried to dominate the conversation, but enough is enough! Despite the Aggies' hard work, tradition, and success on the field, it seems like the media, including the Chronicle, can't resist giving t.u. more attention than they deserve. While they might be soaking up the spotlight, the real story is happening in College Station, where we are building something special. As the great oracle Billy Liucci has often pointed out, the Aggies are on the rise, and it's time the media took notice. The influence of the Longhorns on everything from recruiting to conference realignment has gone too far. While they're busy trying to control the narrative, we're focused on making noise where it really counts—on the gridiron. But you wouldn't know that from reading most media outlets, would you? It's high time the Chronicle started giving credit where it's due and recognized the true football power in Texas—Texas A&M. And let’s not forget, the Aggie Spirit is something that the sips can never match. Our traditions, like the 12th Man and Midnight Yell, define what it means to be a part of the Aggie family. While the sips might be sipping on their own hype, we’re building a legacy that will stand the test of time. Whoop! I hope that in the future, the Chronicle will strive for a more balanced coverage of Texas college football. We Aggies deserve to have our voices heard, and we’re not going to sit quietly while t.u. continues to try to overshadow us. Gig ‘em and Whoop! Sincerely, [Your Name] Proud Texas Aggie
  4. As far as my parents/bro, I'm certainly the only one voting Harris. I spend so much time fact-checking the garbage my dad comes across...
  5. Good to rewatch that Rose Bowl... got to see it in person in Pasadena. I had convinced my wife that we had to go since it was a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to go to the Rose Bowl... until the next year.
  6. Forecasts are 2-3 feet when all said and done.
  7. Yup... you know you might speak one way in NY or even Houston but when you're talking to someone in a backwoods like Winters, your long-lost Texas accent pops in to say howdy!
  8. Totally... skews all the #s
  9. I'll have to find the numbers I saw but I believe we were closer to 19% so different numbers/source. You know what's really frustrating is trying to current data analyzing cities in Texas on various factors... and when I say cities, I don't mean cities like Liberty Hill or Melissa, like some of these webpages define "cities". Show me the big ones... Houston, Austin, Dallas, SA, El Paso, Corpus, Lubbock, Amarillo, Abilene, Waco... etc. Let's see how they stack up. Interesting to view them then side by side with per capita spending.
  10. Fully justified
  11. Well, last I checked, Austin spends more per capita on police that Houston, Dallas and San Antonio... also a greater % of our city on budget for police than Houston, Ft Worth, Arlington, Dallas, El Paso, SA
  12. Yup 2023 - APD get a record high budget "AUSTIN, Texas — The City of Austin’s proposed 2023-2024 budget is allocating $476.5 million to the Austin Police Department. That’s an increase from last year’s budget by nearly $32 million. The budget also includes giving civilian employees a four-percent pay increase." 2024 - budget raised again Specifically, the proposed police budget includes a 4% wage increase for civilian employees, $2.6 million for opening the Canyon Creek joint fire and EMS station and an additional $18.2 million for the Austin Police Department compared to the previous fiscal year.
  13. Wow... what a dick
  14. Have to admit that kind of magic kicks ass. Can he pull a David Copperfield and make the College Station "skyline" disappear? Still, imagine being so out of touch with reality that you have no idea that high school kids say bruh
  15. 12 days away from landfall? Step away from the doom scrolling. Model runs gonna model run.
  16. *Laughs knowingly in Italian* Before I lost a good chunk of weight, we were visiting my aunt and uncle in Rome... at the time, I had let my hair grow out longer. Upon seeing my hair, my aunt said, "I like your hair... it makes you look less fat"
  17. To be fair, if you've done your job properly from 0-18, they won't even consider aggy
  18. I keep hearing these tall tales about rain but...
  19. We had a 9 day streak by mid-July. Again, y'all are only looking at highs... highs don't tell the whole story but, whatever y'all... keep arguing nuance https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/2024-could-be-worlds-hottest-year-june-breaks-records-2024-07-08/
  20. They can go. They can pay. WTF are we talking about here!?
