  1. Fuck that. I never laughed so hard until I read the responses.
  2. Cunningham over Stewart. It could be hard to evaluate though because the running back room has so many question marks and there is immediate playing time to be had. In other words, I could see Stewart seeing the field earlier only to disappear as an upperclassman.
  3. I assume Ben's Workshop on Oltorf repairs Mercedes Party Buses.
  4. 8-Year-Old Boy is Killed by Loose Dogs January 15, 2025 by David Jones The peaceful community of DeLand was rocked by a horrifying incident when an 8-year-old boy was fatally mauled by two dogs. The attack took place in the quiet neighborhood near Airport Road and Arabesque Drive, an area unaccustomed to such brutal events. Residents, although reluctant to share their thoughts on camera, voiced their shock at the incident. A long-time resident painted a picture of a chaotic scene, marked by police presence and crime scene tape. The young boy had been playing near a local park when the dogs, identified as a pit bull and a mixed breed, initiated their attack. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, triggering a wave of reactions on social media. Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood addressed the public, describing the event as “a tragedy beyond comprehension.” He encouraged the community to extend their prayers and support to the bereaved family. An eyewitness, who happened to be nearby at the time of the incident, made the initial 911 call and tried to administer CPR to the young victim. Despite these efforts, the boy did not survive his injuries. The sheriff’s office has since apprehended both dogs and is holding them for further investigation. Authorities are working tirelessly to unravel the circumstances leading up to the attack. Sheriff Chitwood is expected to provide more details in an upcoming press conference, aiming to shed light on this tragic event. As the investigation progresses, the community remains anxious, seeking answers and hoping for measures to prevent such tragedies in the future. The neighborhood, typically known for its tranquility, is now wrestling with the harsh reality of the incident. In the coming days, more information is expected as investigators continue their work. The community’s resilience and solidarity will be put to the test as they navigate the aftermath of this devastating loss.
  5. Why would he want his son to blow it?
  6. Zuckerberg says Biden administration pushed Meta 'super hard' to take down vaccine content PUBLISHED FRI, JAN 10 2025 3:42 PM ESTUPDATED FRI, JAN 10 2025 6:24 PM EST Jordan Novet@JORDANNOVET WATCH LIVE KEY POINTS Mark Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan on a podcast that Biden's White House said Meta had to take down posts saying Covid vaccines might have side effects. Zuckerberg said he thought the Covid vaccines were more positive than negative, but that the administration was pushing to take down posts that were true. Since Donald Trump's victory in November, Zuckerberg has made a number of moves and announcements that appear targeted at appeasing the president-elect. In this article META Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg appears at the Meta Connect event in Menlo Park, California, Sept. 25, 2024. David Paul Morris | Bloomberg | Getty Images Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan in a podcast published Friday that his company was pressured by the Biden administration to remove content on side effects of Covid vaccines. Early in a conversation that lasted about three hours, Zuckerberg told Rogan that he's generally "pretty pro rolling out vaccines" and that they are "more positive than negative."
  7. According to Brooks (so a direct source), Brooks thought he was going to the Cowboys.
  8. What if only the craziest ones survive?
  9. Our running back room in the spring consists of Tre, Gibson, and if they are early arrivals, Simon and Stewart (who I'm not too impressed with).
  10. Assuming we don't pick up anyone in the next few weeks, who will be our running backs in the spring? Gibson, Tre? Are either of the freshmen backs on campus?
  11. Some of y’all are assuming that a dumbass like Bond can’t be replaced by Lockett or Ffrench. And some of y’all think that Livingston can only sing and dance.
  12. The city of Galveston, formally founded in 1839, had weathered numerous storms, all of which the city survived with ease. In the late 19th century, Galveston was a boomtown with the population increasing from 29,084 people in 1890 to 37,788 people in 1900.[16][17] The city was the fourth largest municipality in terms of population in the state of Texas in 1900, and had among the highest per capita income rates in the U.S. At the time of the 1900 hurricane, the highest point in the city of Galveston was only 8.7 ft (2.7 m) above sea level.[23] The hurricane brought with it a storm surge of over 15 ft (4.6 m) that washed over the entire island.
  13. Losing Barron will hurt but we have equal replacements for Mukuba. Offensive line will be fine. The biggest issue we had this year with the line was we had 1 do everything. 2 drive blockers. And 2 finesse blockers. We should have had a goal line line that could drive block in short yardage.
  14. Different types of seawalls. Those stupid sandbags are suppose to preserve the beach - counterproductive. The jetties are preventing large waves from reaching the island. They work and have prevented the type of destruction that led to almost the complete loss of Galveston. The individual seawalls that protect houses on cliffs and take the brunt of the wave force also work and protect the homes. The California Coastal Commission argument is that they can be unsightly and can impact the environment.
  15. Not really. I think overpopulation is an issue worldwide but is a bigger issue in environmentally questionable areas. However, if a home is already there, I think it is fair to be able to do what is necessary to save it. The state of California already doesn’t allow building on lots that don’t already have water rights - that’s why lots are so cheap on the central coast. I’m good with that. But once a house is already there, that’s a problem. And if they apply that logic to individuals, I think the same logic should be applied to areas of fire damage. It won’t because the state doesn’t care about single individuals but it does care about a block of votes.
  16. You should send your ideas to Galveston officials. Don’t know why those ugly jetties were placed.
  17. A lot of these houses were built before the 80s. Then permitting rules changed and environmental rules changed. All of these homes are now valued at $3M plus - no idea what the prices were when they were originally built. The state is saying (generally), "sorry but if you can't move your house, it is your loss - We won't allow you to install a new seawall or reinforce the old seawall". So, basically they are telling the homeowner that their $3M+ investment is now worth zero. And I assume that the erosion will continue until it reaches the street. Then the city will put in a seawall. Either that or the state will give in and allow homeowners to save their homes.
  18. That stuff is happening more frequently in California and the state isn't allowing residents to rebuild the seawall. Eroding bluffs could send California homes tumbling into the ocean. What can be done? Mackenzie Shuman, John Lynch Wed, March 13, 2024 at 10:17 AM CDT 10 min read Generate Key Takeaways Over the past 30 years, Tony and Marilee Hyman have enjoyed the fruits of what they describe as “10 years of doing three jobs” to retire in their Shell Beach dream home. Their home on Indio Drive just north of Pismo Beach proper is perched on a bluff more than 25 feet above sea level, with a lush garden backyard standing between their living room and the open ocean. But even as little as 10 years ago, the Hymans had more backyard than they do today. The property has been victim to pounding ocean waves and storm runoff that have eaten away at the coastline over the past few years, Tony said. They and other oceanfront homeowners have found themselves on the front lines of a fight against the worst of Mother Nature’s appetite, and in many cases, state regulators are siding with nature on whether it’s better to protect valuable property by armoring the coast or give way to the inexorable forces of the sea. Luckily, the Hymans already have a seawall protecting their backyard — but their neighbor to the north, John Okerblom, was denied permits to similarly armor his property. This unprotected property has allowed the crashing waves to work their way around the back of the Hyman’s seawall and erode the bluff once protecting the side of their home. “As this erodes, it’s getting closer and closer to us,” Tony said of the neighbor’s property. “It’s now down to 26 feet, where at one time it was more than 50 (feet).” The Hymans’ property was equipped with a seawall when they purchased the property for around $1.16 million in the early 1990s, Marilee said. She said they partnered with Okerblom about five years ago to apply for the necessary permits to extend their seawall and build one in their neighbor’s backyard but have been denied by the California Coastal Commission at seemingly every turn. On Jan. 10, the Coastal Commission sent a letter to the Hymans making clear that any future armoring of the coastline along their neighbor’s backyard would be prohibited — even if it means leaving their home at risk. “In light of the dangers to development at this site, we advise that you pursue courses of action associated with this site that do not include shoreline armoring, and that you start planning for next steps that might be necessary in light of such dangers at this location, including potential removal of any threatened development before it falls to the beach below and creates public hazards,” the letter read. The commission’s hard-line stance against seawalls has displeased some in the Shell Beach community. Homeowners want to protect their homes from falling into the ocean while the Coastal Commission says such armoring is too harmful to the environment to justify.
  19. That's what I think as well. I've seen too many individuals in California screwed by the changing codes for things like seawalls and water rights that I am pretty confident that it will be an issue. Perhaps with so many people affected and with the likelihood of bad press that they will let things slide, but I doubt it.
  20. They have a lot of talent and an easy enough schedule that they can mask the downgrade in QBs and shitty coaching.
  21. @Fat Bastard knows the renowned ones at Texas Heart Institute in Houston and I know some of the ones at UT Houston. Most of my THI connections have retired or passed away. Wayne Dear, Grady Hallman, Denton Cooley...
