  1. Will there be Subway service to the airport?
  2. I'm no botanist, but pretty sure it's Kudzu. It tends to ooze white sap when you pull it, too, which is sticky as hell. Cleaning that crap out of the bushes and off the side of the house is right up there with watching soccer from the bleachers on a 110 degree day.
  3. Can't stand the vines, though! Got that crap all over the front beds, and can't get rid of it. Pull it up 4x / year, and it grows back with a passion.
  4. You sick bastards. Why don't you stick to live ones?
  5. Dealing with a project conjoining two networks. I'm currently getting pushback on putting in an INTERNAL DNS record, and they're asking for a RISK signoff. A 2 week project in month 8 and counting.
  6. Half expected them to zoom out and realize she was crawling sideways and not climbing.
  7. They woke up from the nightmare and ran as fast as they could.
  8. Discount Tire doesn't throw screws, come on. They place them strategically in the shoulder of the tire tread so they can't repair it and have to replace it.
  9. So do we need to add a clause to our personal wills to reach out to immamac with a given safe word that would tell him to nuke our footprints on Surly? Is that a paid service that will be offered?
  10. I mean, 15 minutes on 360 4 days a week is enough for me to want to punch a puppy. Dealing with dumb ass rich soccer moms buried in their phones out driving for no damn good reason during rush hour while the rest of us are trying to get home... it's enough to raise the blood pressure 20-30 points. That said, I've got a buddy who commutes from Marble Falls to South Austin DAILY. Guy has WAY more patience than I have.
  11. He did look like he had a 4" grip on a 6" turd.
  12. Did he just get beat with Bob Stoops favorite afternoon snack?!
  13. Yeah, corrected it with CITY population numbers and verified from another source...
  14. Who just forgets to add in Eleanor from Gone in 60 seconds?! Cause I'm writing in that answer. Else, yeah, Bond's Aston Martin.
  15. Bare-backin' a hog means something much different after a night of drinking in Oklahoma. Just ask Vic.
  16. Man, Graham really leaning on that success rate like he knows anything about football...
  17. Again, using Mo Bamba on the PA and bragging about it, are they that dumb?!
  18. 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%
  19. The I wasn't involved in any of his articles, that's a given.
  20. Just wait until the Bank of Austin gets looped in the budget...
  21. 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...
  22. Watching midgets play badminton on a ping-pong table is QUITE entertaining...
