  1. Crap, good catch. Google AI has a way of fudging the numbers: City Population Overall Budget Police Budget Per Capita Police Budget Per Capita Total Budget % of Total Budget Austin 984,567 $5,900,000,000.00 $496,000,000.00 $503.77 $5,992.48 8.41% Houston 2,319,119 $6,700,000,000.00 $1,042,871,375.00 $449.68 $2,889.03 15.57% Dallas 1,302,753 $4,630,000,000.00 $654,545,687.00 $502.43 $3,554.01 14.14% San Antonio 1,495,295 $3,700,000,000.00 $570,000,000.00 $381.20 $2,474.43 15.41% El Paso 678,859 $1,318,526,091.00 $205,161,844.00 $302.22 $1,942.27 15.56%
  2. The I wasn't involved in any of his articles, that's a given.
  3. Just wait until the Bank of Austin gets looped in the budget...
  4. City Population Overall Budget Police Budget Per Capita Police Budget Per Capita Total Budget % of Total Budget Austin 2,274,000 $5,900,000,000.00 $496,000,000.00 $218.12 $2,594.55 8.41% Houston 6,802,000 $6,700,000,000.00 $1,042,871,375.00 $153.32 $985.00 15.57% Dallas 6,800,000 $4,630,000,000.00 $654,545,687.00 $96.26 $680.88 14.14% San Antonio 1,595,295 $3,700,000,000.00 $570,000,000.00 $357.30 $2,319.32 15.41% El Paso 678,859 $1,318,526,091.00 $205,161,844.00 $302.22 $1,942.27 15.56% Those are the rough FY 2024 budgets. Seems we do pay more per capita than Dallas or Houston, but our per capita overall budget is also pretty out of control compared to other Texas metros. And the police budget as a percentage to the total budget is also low compared to most cities. This is just a cursory 10 minute search of these cities...
  5. Watching midgets play badminton on a ping-pong table is QUITE entertaining...
  6. Well, considering they have to expand services to match the population growth AND keep pace with inflation, shouldn't EVERY year be the biggest budget to date? And be honest here, you just lived through a year with 5% inflation, and your job offers you a 4% raise, that's not even covering the cost of living. Try getting offended on something like the city clowncil voting themselves a 40% raise, or Watson and clan maxing out the tax increases.
  7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Big_12_Conference_football_champions Strip 2010 from the wall, and redo the maths. Officially, 1998 is their last hardware, putting their streak at an all-time high. JUST like Elko's cholesterol and BMI.
  8. It always goes in on the 3rd try...
  9. Does that count the multiple early morning flights that require you get up at 2:30?
  10. Can't wait for the Aggy Smirnoff Ice.
  11. I'm more confused why the DAs office let him out on a 3rd degree Felony from early July, then finally issue the warrant on the 23rd. I read somewhere she decided to press charges on Aug 20th, which still took three days to get the warrant through. Combination of shitty humans, shitty DAs office not doing their job on a f3 case, and media digging in on this one.
  12. I always imagined this was Franchione's pep talk with Javorskie Lane on their first day of summer camp (skip to 0:15):
  13. What do you have against the Army Reserve building? Or is it the people of Bryan?!
  14. Had to check: Shannon Smith wasn't in the RFL, but she's definitely got priors (27 case records) in Travis County...
  15. To be fair, UNLV and UofH aren't really familiar with good CFB...
  16. Why not make a Vegan club and have them do a community awareness event where they walk around telling people how they're Vegans. Then have them go the opposite path of the runners. If a fight breaks out, it's a win-win for everyone!
  17. TCU has always been grasping for relevance, and the writer needed clickbait.
  18. I can't wait for some team to troll OSU with a QR code on their helmet that takes you to a rick roll or dickbutt.
  19. Is this a joke? Did Texum think of the most racist reference they could to sponsor the trophy? I guess State Farm was too profitable this go-round...
  20. Dude, you realize the DEMS are the ones that passed recapture when they last controlled the lege? Fuck off with that CR bullshit. No one in their right mind wants to touch it because it's political suicide to try and rebalance the recapture. La Joya et al is sucking the coffers dry while Austin is going in dry on every property tax payer. https://www.kxan.com/investigations/aisd-points-to-20m-water-park-as-proof-robin-hood-formula-doesnt-work/
  21. And you rapists shouldn't be able to make one until Jesus Christ walks on the earth again. The fact Baylor still has a football team is a slap in everyone's face.
  22. X-post from the boat thread...
  23. No one's posted this one yet?!
  24. More like a Fort Cocks. About as secure as the average glory hole on campus.
