  1. And then there will be a space shortage. This is no fucking different than rash decisions to close urban schools due to declining enrollment without looking at neighborhood demographics. A good example is Brentwood Elementary. It was on the chopping block 25 years ago due to being at 50% capacity. My wife grew up in that hood and back then she said there were no kids and all the neighbors were over 60. Their kids had aged out of the schools but empty nesters were still living in their own homes. Luckily, AISD decided against closing it and once the neighborhood housing turned over to the next generation, the school was so overcapacity they tore it down and built a school twice the original size.
  2. Young Life still exists at Anderson High School.
  3. Millions of Christian clergy screamed out at once in fear…
  4. Don’t do cellulose. Get the Owens Corning Atticat product from Home Depot. You add half of the compressed block to the hopper and blow it in like cellulose. It’s really easy and no mess. My wife loaded the hopper while I spread it in the attic. We did 20 bags in about 2 hours.
  5. I think I'd rather have adequate insurance coverage and no attachments to inanimate objects in my house than stand around next to a fuel filled generator while a raging inferno quickly surrounds me and my limp dick sprayer.
  6. This was a real post by Domino’s.
  7. The only Facebook posts I see are pushed there from Instagram. I only look at Facebook now when I need to give shit away on my neighborhood Buy Nothing group.
  8. For golden visas, I think there's one still available for Greece and it requires only a $250K real estate investment. There's some real awesome ocean view property available for cheap but then the downside is you're in Greece.
  9. Wouldn’t it be Sam Houston since that’s where Linklater played baseball for a year?
  10. I don’t even remember our last QB’s name.
  11. At least I never have to think of Ewers again.
  12. Now we need have our usual high octane 3rd quarter.
  13. I thought we had some talent but I don’t know if we have one player that could break into their starting lineup.
  14. I’m ready for the Ewers era to be over and forgotten.
  15. They’re straight up better at every position. Hopefully they have some self inflicted fuck ups we can take advantage of.
  16. Unfortunately, we are waiting on my wife retiring from the state. My job is portable so I can live anywhere. I guess if the legislature destroys public schools in the next session, we may just say fuck it and bail early so my youngest can spend her last 6 years getting educated.
  17. IIRC, a residential water system is built to support fighting maybe 2-3 fires at a time. Trying to fight 20+ and you won't have water in about 3 minutes. As each house burns down, that water line is now spewing water, taking pressure out of the system anyway. Don't forget that water pump stations and tanks that force water up those hills also burn up. You can have 1 million LAFD firefighters out there but there's no way to get enough water to residential areas so it won't make a shit. Plus, the only real way to fight wildfires is to cut fire blocks. Good luck doing that in the steep canyons these fires are burning through. West Austin, you're up next.
  18. Nah, you’ll get dropped so it won’t cost you anything.
  19. Just spent a week in Colorado and having back to back weeks of 30-something degrees between CO and TX, I finally could tell that 30 degrees in Texas is so much worse. Never once felt cold in CO. Even when it was 18 degrees one day when we were skiing, it was perfectly fine. The lack of humidity is huge. My uncle grew up in Glenwood Springs and he always said cold days in TX were way worse than the same temp in CO. Until I experienced it immediately back to back, I didn’t realize how big of a difference it actually was. Only 7 more years until we move to Fort Collins.
  20. Sports don’t mean shit because they are the differentiator for athletic scholarships and lessened admissions standards for recruited athletes. Having a job matters more especially if they get promoted while working. Community service and extracurriculars related to their major are valuable. But to be honest, for 99% of colleges none of it matters that much. AP course load is supposedly the biggest indicator of college success and if they take the most rigorous offering for each class and have good grades, they’ll do well. For that 1% (Harvard, etc) You better be in the top 1% in grades, test scores, and cured cancer in an extracurricular you founded.
