  1. Sounds like we're having us a "California Secession and Oklahoma bulldozed" kinda day.
  2. Flew to NYC last week, and after making it through TSA and to the gate, we're preparing to board, and they recheck all IDs for all passengers against their boarding passes, then rescreen carry on bags as we board. Like somehow your 30 second nosing through my bag with your wooden dowel is going to reveal something that was missed on the X-Ray tube that someone already scrutinized a mere hour ago. Flying home, they gave ZERO Fs. Only reason I can think they gave a damn was the UN was in session in NYC. I'll hold off on the rest of the thoughts, but anyone wanting to cause harm isn't going to be travelling and recording their movements like that...
  3. "Non-profit operated the shelter in ways that did not align with Austin. It was run efficiently, compassionately, and within budget." They absolutely need to audit the crap out of both ends of this relationship, but we'll see the Epstein files AND Jimmy Hoffa's body before the city admits any wrong doing or gives anyone a glance behind the curtains.
  4. You think that's bad, you should see what they use at the Stoops' homestead in Oklahoma...
  5. I've gotta say, suspending the crew for that missed kick-off / punt crap is pretty bush-league compared to the crews we dealt with in the past (OSU 2022 or 2015, e.g.) That play did not change the outcome of the game, extend a drive, or really benefit the kicking team in ANY way. Hell, the receiving team got a good start due to the crappy kick. No seemingly malicious intent... Let's start suspending crews for missed targeting, missed face masks, things that are actually critical for player safety.
  6. Have you tried first class? They usually frown on the poors stashing their bags in 1st class. And you get to stare at the common folk smugly while they're stuck in line to get back to row 34, all the while you know you'll be in the first 10-20 people off the plane.
  7. Ha! I've got a newer truck, no worries on that. Just liked listening to Dudley and Bob back in the day, and old habbits die hard.
  8. I don't listen to any terrestrial radio other than KLBJ FM in the mornings. But go on with the "insult"
  9. say no more.
  10. My argument isn't necessarily with the Sweet Greens bullshit, it's the fact that the one who's running the city has no problem spending our money like its his. You want to be a leader, LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Say what you want about Cronk, but he was a much better leader by comparison. He turned out to be the scapegoat for the winter storm that Austin Energy completely mishandled. And the APD and Fire issues go beyond pay. We may pay well, but the risk with working for APD doesn't match the pay. Would you want to work for shitty leadership and a DA's office that is targeting you like a minor in a Penn State locker room? Same with AFD, there's a lack of confidence in leadership, staffing issues that don't match vehicle count, and the city is not interested in helping out their own, they'd rather find a way to cut costs on the NECESSITIES of public safety and piss it into the Homelessness coffers, public artwork in the airport, countless studies by NGOs, and new logos. So, yes, I agree, the spending account is pennies compared to the bigger picture, but it's indicative of a culture problem from the top. Again, LEAD BY EXAMPLE.
  11. TC "Sweet Green" Broadnax says HI. I guess you can say Dallas shit-canned him before Austin did. But we have some parity, as we've got the same captain at the helm (a few years apart). Dallas and Austin both have their unique issues which makes it hard to compare. Dallas, being a huge metropolitan area with a very diverse voter base. Austin: eagerly awaiting the next chance to trip over their prius-driving micro-peens to vote in the next fake-it-til-you-make-it city councilmember...
  12. I listened into the city hall announcement about it, and they cited the all in cost of $1.1M for the logo redesign. But noted this isn't the cost of revamping all the logos out there (think shirts, cars, buildings, signs, etc). Those will be rolled out as the equipment hits EOL and is replaced.
  13. Okay, but how much of that 1.4 miles of thickness is below the water level currently? And does that take into account density of ice as a solid vs water as a liquid? And also that the water basin is not straight up and down, but more conical?
  14. That man's smart. Can't get curb rash on your Prius if there's no curb to rub against. That man has middle management written all over him!
  15. Looked like Sandusky making his way into the boys locker room.
