    maybe, but my working theory lately is there's too many damn lawyers here, and no one wants to take the chance on getting sued.  kind of like how none of the real doctors chime in on the health/injury threads.

    fuck, you're onto me. 80% of my practice involves suing surly posters for giving bad advice.

    Ran all faucets/showers at night and everything works but no water to upstairs bathroom toilet after I tried to flush.    Is there anything that can be done other than try a hair dryer on wall?  Unfortunately it's in a spot I can't really tell path of piping.

    Our friend is the executive chef at the Driskill. He's stayed on site the last 2 nights because it was too risky for him to drive back up to CP. It's just him and one other cook in the kitchen. They had a borderline record day for breakfast yesterday. Last night they had 400 rooms filled, the most since COVID hit. They're running out of supplies at a rapid pace.h

    My sister is at a hotel in Houston. Just were told that after they serve breakfast this morning the hotel will be out of food

  4. I just finished reading "the Long Winter" by Laura Ingalls Wilder to my daughter. They survived like 7 months of blizzards with no firewood. They managed by making "hay sticks" to burn. You grab a bunch of hay/dead grass and tightly braid them together so that they'll burn longer. 

    You're welcome.

    True, but it seems like that brand of social neoconservativism of the 90s & 00s has died off a bit. I never thought I would see liberals advocate for silencing free speech, censoring comedians, cheering on occupying the ME. On the flipside you have conservatives who are all of the sudden anti-war dove free speech advocates. It's one big reactionary clusterfuck.

    LOL, the GOP literally tries to pass laws forbidding gay couples from adopting.

    Cancel culture my fucking ass.

    It appears that you have labeled a large group of people who you don’t actually know as being racist. I guess your basis for this claim is that they identify as cowboys, or country folk, or merely that they are different from you and therefore must be less woke and more evil.

    If you have some factual basis for your accusations then let’s hear it. Otherwise you are just making up stereotypes to help fill the world with fake enemies for yourself to look down upon.

    I have never been to a cowboy church, don’t drive a truck, don’t own a cowboy hat. I don’t care about them but it irks me to watch people fling shit at other people all the time with no remorse. How are we supposed to come together as a country when people think like this? Maybe try looking for the good in other people for once instead of assuming every group unlike yourself is inherently evil.

    8 out of 10 evangelicals supported Trump and his policies.

    Cross-posting from the weather thread, but yeah--I'm really worried about this, too.  The homeless don't have access to the information to know that they need to get inside.  And they sure as shit don't have the gear to sleep outside in these temperatures.  I'm afraid a lot of of them are going to die if Austin's city government doesn't take serious and concerted action now to get them into shelters.

    More homeless die in LA every year than in NYC for this exact reason, despite the obvious differences in climate.

    wow, so i'm only incrementally watching as i pass through the living room, but abby phillips on cnn just reported that many republican senators are purposefully not listening, with feet up on their desk, reading books or other materials. 

    how fucking disrespectful. shameful. well, it would be shameful if they had any fucking shame left in their black, selfish hearts. they were in the fucking capitol when it was stormed! their shit was looted, broken, rifled through. 

    i simply cannot process the mindset it takes to be such a fuckstick.

    Do you spend lots of time trying to process why terrorists are terrorists?

    A lot (all?) of these R senators are already extremely wealthy. They don't NEED to be reelected. Think long term about the precedent. Fear of violence against their families is about the only reason I can come up with not to convict. But it's short sighted and selfish. Trump shit on all of them and their families from day 1. Stop humiliating yourself and the few principled conservatives left and turn on the mother fucker already. 

    The fact that the "jury" is composed of the co-conspirators makes the whole thing bizarre. Trying to imagine a prosecutor asking a jury of 12 to convict the defendant when the getaway driver and 2 accomplices are sitting in the jury.
