  1. Ask an officer, that's not a typical number but it's occurring. As for 1,800 officers, that's the budgeted number. Actual number barely 1,400 right now. Losing patrol faster than anyone and once others get moved to patrol they are finding new jobs outside Austin quickly.
  2. This was Jaromir Jagr at his jersey retirement ceremony yesterday 🤣
  3. should just start shooting at empty net from other net after 5....more entertaining
  4. There aren't enough officers right now. Any given shift there are sometimes only 30-40 officers for the entire city of Austin.
  5. I've got no problem calling out the people for filming when they are in a position to potentially do something. For all they know someone's kid was just dying in front of them and they decided to film it because we as a society have decided that is more important than actually saving the person.
  6. Come on man, there was multiple life threatening injuries to adults and kids in this accident needing attention. They responded, maybe not perfectly but they responded. There isn't a exact playbook for this. ER waiting room isn't a place you typically are going to find your most well rested, ready to quicky act crowd on a good day.
  7. Narrator: He won't. I'll be shocked it he's still on the team by fall.
  8. Number 121 on that list has always been pro-public education and has recently been stepping things up to insure Dunn's voucher campaign isn't about money raising. He's giving money to anyone, especially GOP who vote against it and support public education. I'm hoping he starts going on the offense even more.
  9. For anyone hosting a "Voyager 1 - 1st Light Year" party... they have roughly another 18,000 years to plan for it
  10. They view big business/corporate farming and immigrant labor as being tied together and reliant of each other. It's not "most" relying on it, it's the corporate farmers that they hate relying on it.
  11. I've got family there, they say immigration/border issue is top issue there. Very anti-immigrant crowd, fear of changing the American way as they know it resonating loudly. It's the mass out of control immigration that concerns them most.
  12. Picture is like looking at ticket sites without "show fees" switch on.
  13. Anyone been playing yet? Hooked me pretty quick. It's like they took all the build/survival/quest games and listened to what people liked and didn't like and tried their best to fix it. Incredibly well done so far. It's almost on the same level of enjoyment as Valheim for me. Very close.
  14. Everything has been fine as long as the jobs number stays strong. Recent layoff announcements across multiple industries making the market very skittish right now. Being an election year does not help. Very volatile market this year even though it should wash out in the end.
  15. But the team with the 2nd possession has all that extra knowledge. We know what we need to outright win, we know if we should be using all 4 downs, we know if it is tied and we turn it over the other team is in sudden death to win. Getting that 3rd possession is definitely an advantage but it's a huge risk it would get even there. If receiving team doesn't score on their initial possession, the kicking team is already in sudden death to win. Under your argument I wouldn't want Mahomes getting ball to win any sooner that I had to.
  16. I think being on offense knowing your playing with 4 downs vs 3 (if opponent scores) and knowing what you need to win/continue trumps all that. I kick first.
  17. Only time it happened to me, some debris had gotten into the impeller. I had to use screwdriver to pull off cover and remove. You could see it though from top looking in as blades weren't turning.
  18. I heard him described this way and for this I can at least see the argument - "He was the greatest player ever at his position".
  19. Antonio Gates doesn't get in first ballot as well... wow
  20. I've got the Dell and its great. It's flat. I tried a few others that were larger, up to 50" both flat and curved and found 43" was the sweet spot, anything larger and it didn't "feel right". Sides were an issue and too much head movement going on.
  21. Might be topical to also discuss Sylvester Turner's aide that was sentenced to prison this week for accepting bribes. More interestingly that he apparently was also cooperating with the FBI and wearing a wire for them for over a year.
  22. My beef - it's not a "convenience" fee if it's the only way I can get it, it's an "inconvenience" fee and should be called such.
