  1. Iceman was a fucking genius. No wonder he made Admiral.
  2. Hottest zip codes for Texas. Haven't look at the rest of the US but I imagine most of those zips are in BFE suburbia. Stupid question. As minorities moved from the city to the burbs, are non-minorities moving even further out to avoid the old suburbs? https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/texas-accounts-for-almost-half-of-the-hottest-zip-codes-for-real-estate-in-2023/
  3. Dont' fuck with cats, or Don't fuck cats?
  4. Some of you are masochistic as hell. Why keep dropping lemon juice in your eye? Shit's done. Move on.
  5. I thought Surly was a Kink-shame Free Place, is it not?
  6. As a fanbase, we need to get over our allergic reaction to Horns down. It's now a thing for any opponent. Take it as a validation that it's THE most recognizable symbol in college athletics. You think opposing fans give a thumbs down when playing aggy, or stick their guns up their ass when playing Tech? They hate us because they aint us.
  7. Turning aggy into a 77k student diploma mill wasn't making enough money? They need to whore themselves compromising US National Security too?
  8. The market still incentives assholes to crash the system so that they can still get their $5000/MWh. I keed, sort of.
  9. n/m. it was a fan made trailer....
  10. State is turning commie!!!!!! In all seriousness, this is a good thing for Texas. More diversity and hopefully better reliability. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/investigations/defenders/connect-texas-power-grid-nationally-plan-ercot/269-2918ca91-8e6a-43d3-9fa1-ee2af138e487 AUSTIN, Texas — Southern Spirit Transmission, LLC (SST) has federal and Texas approval to build a transmission line connecting the Texas power grid to the southeastern U.S. power grid. The power line would flow more electricity than the other four grid interconnections combined. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) manages the power grid for the majority of the state. Two direct current (DC) ties flow a combined 400 megawatts of power between ERCOT and Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) in Mexico. Two other DC ties flow a combined 820 megawatts between ERCOT and Southwest Power Pool (SPP) in the middle portion of the U.S. power grid. In May 2014, Southern Spirit (formally Southern Cross) received federal clearance and preserved ERCOT’s independence from federal regulation. In 2017, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) issued a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) and directed ERCOT to perform more than a dozen tasks to accommodate the DC tie. In Sept. 2022, PUC approved ERCOT’s work. The company must still get easements from various landowners. Typically, the cost to build transmission lines inside the ERCOT grid are directly passed to ratepayers as a line item on their power bill. However, the $2.6 billion Southern Spirit project is paid for privately by Pattern Energy. In addition to transmission lines, Pattern Energy develops, builds and operates wind and solar projects in Texas and around the country. The company’s Texas portfolio includes a solar farm in Fannin County and wind farms in Kenedy County, Carson County and Comanche County. In April 2023, Rainbow Energy Marketing Corporation (REMC) filed a request to ERCOT to revise the Planning Guide to treat DC ties as it does power plants for reliability planning. REMC is tied to oil and gas production as well as the wholesale buying and selling of natural gas and electricity. In an ERCOT subcommittee meeting, commenters asked if the REMC request would impact the resolved directives concerning Southern Spirit. ERCOT filed a request to PUC asking for input. A Nov. 2023 filing by PUC staff raised concerns, such as the project could cost Texas ratepayers. “Significant transmission upgrades may be required to support the full import deliverability capabilities of the proposed DC ties, and all other DC ties that are in existence today in the ERCOT system. Additionally, imports over DC ties may have the potential to divert generation from existing dispatchable generation within the ERCOT region, resulting in reduced incremental reliability benefits,” the filing shows. Southern Spirit Transmission filed a response showing disagreement. “... the SST project has been upgraded and reconfigured to meet new technical standards developed in response to other SST Directives and these project enhancements are expected to mitigate some of the issues identified in the study referenced by Staff,” the response shows. In a PUC open meeting on Nov. 30, 2023, Commissioner Jimmy Glotfelty said if the Southern Spirit line was in place when ERCOT issued an Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) this year, then hypothetically there may not have been a need for the alert. “Would we have had prices go through the roof? Probably not, because we would have had more generation in the north. It gives you options. It gives you flexibility, which is what we need,” Glotfelty said. “Whatever the cost of such transmission upgrades might be, it will likely pale in comparison to the cost of another Uri-like event,” the company's response filing shows. A Feb. 2021 deadly winter storm was named Winter Storm Uri by the Weather Channel. However, the National Weather Service does not recognize names for winter storms. The storm caused widespread power outages for days while temperatures remained in single digits. Hundreds of people died.
  11. So cleaning up the facade of the buildings is going to keep the dirty trash from going to 6th and ruining 6th? That's a bold strategy. You can clean up 6th by blaring classical music. Dipshit wannabe gangstas, underage shitheads looking for trouble, and homeless are allergic to classical music.
  12. Lane wouldn't know about tampering so this is news to him.
  13. Lulz. It goes both ways Lane. My guess is that he's seeing/hearing about the money spent on all the new incoming portal transfers and wants to make sure he's duly compensated.
  14. Same. I remember him getting snaps and making plays as a Freshman. I was excited that we won his recruitment over TCU. Oh well, good luck to the dude.
  15. He should be taking it out on his parents for being dipshits.
  16. Deobra Redden is an upstanding citizen. https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/who-is-deobra-redden-clark-county-judge-mary-kay-holthus-attacker/ar-AA1mqBSp "Ridden has a criminal record and as per reports, he is a three-time felon. He had a history of violent crimes, said a prosecutor during the hearing. The prosecutor asked the judge for a prison term for Ridden based on his alleged crimes. Ridden had allegedly indulged in home invasion, acts of violence, domestic violence and battery on a protected person, reported new3lv."
  17. Lulz at those mini bike idiots. Also I'm surprised the mini bike can handle the girth of that midget female.
