  1. 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.
  2. I don't listen to any terrestrial radio other than KLBJ FM in the mornings. But go on with the "insult"
  3. say no more.
  4. 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.
  5. 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...
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. 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!
  9. Looked like Sandusky making his way into the boys locker room.
  10. Ding dong ditching a house with signs out front stating "tresspassers will be shot on site" says HI.
  11. How is one supposed to build their immunity if you don't allow your kids to unload the silverware from the dishwasher?! Did y'all not grow up playing in the dirt, drinking from a water hose?!
  12. Exactly what I'd expect the serial killer to say. Such a long game by that TxState professor...
  13. Sounds like an aggy love story if I've ever heard one...
  14. Driving west-bound last week or two on Bee Cave Rd, there was a power outage for at least three stop lights in a row. Cuernavaca light was out, and traffic was backed up to Barton Creek Blvd. Got through Cuernavaca, and the next two lights were completely dark (granted, this is like 4pm, sun shining...) After everyone treated the Cuerny light like a 4 way stop (as you should), no one bothered to even tap the brakes for the next two. Almost got a new truck from an Audi SUV doing 70 through the Creek's Edge stoplight. Dude swerved into the other lane to avoid hitting me or actually stopping like you're supposed to.
  15. I'm hearing a MINIMUM of 2.5M spent on that logo. That mismanagement of funds should look good for that upcoming tax increase election...
  16. Hope he get's a nice pension for being so helpful!
  17. Clearly you aren't going to Walmart in South Austin.
  18. Is it wrong, though? APD posting on X on how to protect yourself from vehicle break-ins, because the same crew of people that have been doing it for the last few years keep getting out of jail and getting right back to it. APD is absolutely understaffed. APD has encouraged people to utilize 311 for anything not deemed a critical emergency. APD presence on the roadways has plummeted, and proactive patrolling has been replaced by reactive policing. You can shove your head in the sand and pretend Austin is the greatest place alive, or you can look beyond the city-produced metrics and realize that things aren't the sunshine and rainbows they are shitting out the door at city hall.
  19. Given the price he paid for that shanty, there must be...
  20. Genuinely curious: 2025, that data is not complete, seems misleading. Also, crime is more than just homicides. Assaults, vehicle break-ins, burglaries in general, criminal mischief, etc. Police refusing to respond to calls or take down incident reports due to either short staffing or fatigue due to lack of prosecution also skews the numbers. And lets not forget @Nicole44's victims that we're refusing to call homicides.
  21. Man, you've got me going down a rabbit hole now. Figurelli seems to have changed his name to Daniel Wilson and moved to Arvada, Colorado, and bought a nice little 4/2.5 with his wife in January...
  22. I'm guessing he got some work done. He's been quiet since 2022. https://www.facebook.com/Daniel.Joseph120 Oh, and what seems to be his wife: https://www.facebook.com/kristin.murray.355
  23. I keep refreshing, and those onesie pictures still won't load...
