  1. Yeah, tell me about it. I got on a call with a customer and then saw a notification about a red card and a goal. WTF. No clue what happened...
  2. Been very pleasantly surprised by Italy's gradual improvement under Spalletti. Had France easily handled. 24' and we're up 2-0 on Belgium. I'm still shell-shocked from our post-Euro collapse and the WC misses but its progress.
  3. Friend in Naples confirmed that while he is without power, they are mostly fine. No update on friend in Bradenton. Need to check on someone who lives on Marco Island. He took it on the chin after Ian - hope he's OK.
  4. Yup... and I lived in Houston during Harvey, Memorial Day Floods, assorted deluges... what they got is a ton of rain. I had a chance to witness 5" of rain in one hour first hand which apparently happened in some spots in FL during this storm. No drains can handle it. Water rises immediately. Friends had cars and houses flooded in that quick burst of rain. I was standing outside literally yelling "JUST STOP!" Stop being a-holes. Just because someone's house burned down to the foundation doesn't mean they're cooler than the house that burned down but has a chimney left standing. Idiots.
  5. So funny. We were cracking up at that guy. Must have been high as a kite.
  6. Live broadcast from Tarrytown?
  7. LOL I was at Eggy, too. Were you up front recharging your crystal at Glass Beams.
  8. If I go this Saturday, I should be able to get access to the Miller Lite Lounge which means impossible to ignore the game
  9. Arguing with chainsaw... Spare yourselves I've put pimphand on ignore. Time to add someone else, it seems
  10. Hey tornados... cough cough... ahem...
  11. Yeah that's the thing... I'm waffling on going Saturday. Texas OU or ACL again. If I do ACL, I need to tell people who I know to not say anything about the game. I almost pulled it off 2 years ago until the end when someone told me 49-0. I watched the end of Texas OU waiting for Ben Kweller last year. My phone was about to melt in the heat.
  12. Was it last year and this year when certain races for Congress, judges, local officials in certain states showed Ds way outperforming polls? I'm trying to remember. I feel like there was a period where you would see someone polling maybe 4 points and then they'd win by 8 or something like that. Also, I know nothing at all about this race... this is NY 4 but how are races like this happening? I guess this is a seat that flipped last election but looks to flip back?
  13. I'm still trying to figure out who to see for Levitation. Will hit up BALTHVS at Waterloo this Friday. DJ Shadow later in the month Also, may jump on Blockhead... https://do512.com/events/2024/11/9/blockhead-tickets
  14. @jimmyjazz I got the billboard treatment from a friend after a poorly phrased comment in a WhatsApp group. If anyone is to blame its the guy who gave me the idea by raking me across the coals. Blame him.
  15. Yeah, I have been checking Google Maps and it looks like traffic on the roads is almost non-existent. One would think the bulk of people left so anyone leaving now while there is still time would be able to haul ass.
  16. Pretty crazy when you consider how far Weston is from the action.
  17. I think they finished building theirs in 2022 or so which would tell me its up to code but, man, cat 4 or 5, I don't know what to tell you. Family on the other side near Ponce Inlet should only have to ride out a cat 1.
  18. Any of you in Austin have a Saturday W2 wristband? Need to make my way back to Geese and Jungle.
  19. My buddy in Bradenton sent me a picture of the anticipated track overlaid with his house location.
  20. Thankful my friend in Bradenton finally GTFO. I suspect a lot of us were on his ass for staying there with his family.
  21. I'm case you want to catch BALTHVS before the weekend...
  22. Exactly it... the analysis of what would have happened to Houston had Rita hit, specifically in the ship channel, is exceedingly frightening. https://archive.ph/bRZ6R#selection-2413.0-2429.83 Local hurricane experts agree that a violent storm surge in the channel of at least 26 feet—a reasonable estimate for a category 4 storm that hits Galveston directly—would initially inundate densely populated, low-lying communities on the western half of Galveston Bay. Debris from those communities would then combine with thousands of shipping containers in the area, forming a destructive wall of steel and wood that would slam into thousands of chemical and crude oil storage tanks. Many tanks would be broken open by the battering ram of debris, while others would be ripped from their foundations by the water, releasing their deadly contents. A detailed inventory of hazardous chemicals around the Ship Channel remains difficult to come by, thanks to a Texas law that restricts public disclosure of information that could be utilized by terrorists. However, a 2016 Houston Chronicle investigation of the area’s dangerous chemicals revealed that communities near the Ship Channel live in close proximity to toxic substances, such as silane gas, methyl mercaptan, hydrofluoric acid, sodium sulfide, and ammonia. On at least three occasions, the investigation found, those substances have been released, killing workers and endangering nearby residents. The paper has also catalogued more than one hundred toxic releases during Hurricane Harvey alone, most of them from Houston’s petrochemical corridor.
  23. I remember seeing that dude at 3:06
