Holy shit, ze German floods

[Armybrat 40851]

Besides the terrible loss of life, Just think of all this history that will never be recovered... at least in the next couple of generations.

Future archeologists will have a lot of interesting projects though.

My direct ancestor left Heidelberg for America in 1753. 

I didn't realize that people refer to their mom or dad as a "direct ancestor", but it's accurate.

Narrator: It was the offseason.

Offseason and/or shitty coaching situation for years on end puts people in a mood to fuck with each other all across the site.  Always has, always will.

I get that the CR is a big community on this site but it's clearly bleeding out into other areas and it's getting irritating. I pay a small tithe every month to this site but I'm definitely entertaining cutting that shit off and going elsewhere after seeing the reaction to certain posts in this thread. 

We have a TexAgs in the back; a SurlyHorns and a TexAgs. TexAgs would be good for you.

My daughter is supposed to spend the 2021 - 2022 academic year in Luxembourg on a Fulbright scholarship.  I wonder if that might be up in the air now with all of this crazy flooding going on.

“I pay good money to post here and the CR posters are ruining the experience so I just might leave” is pretty fucking hilarious.

Tree fiddy isn’t a tithe, it’s a tip.

@HornOnTheBayou get a fucking life, cheesedick. That's the most embarassing neg against me I've ever seen on this site. 

And as long as we're on the subject - there is basically no room for posters that aren't extremely left to share their opinions on this site anymore. This entire thread is embarassing. I get y'all are liberal but holy shit - the CR brigade has become ridiculous. 

Look at this trash, this has 8 ups to 3 negs. This fuck is being such a politically forward condescending dickhead that it shouldn't even bear mentioning yet here we are:

First thing that came to mind after reading this temper tantrum…

This + Covid + shaka sucks + fuck tom the turtle Herman + social media being an unchecked over politicized disaster = this site sucks now. 

Maybe when Sark and beard turn things around people will stop talking about other shit they are pissed off about.

This thread is trash there is literally another thread to talk about CR in the DT and this exact topic. Buncha whiney cunts up in here. GERMANY IS FLOODING AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS WHAT POLITICAL TEAM YOU ARE ON? 

FUCKING PATHETIC.

We should be talking about important shit.  A buddy of mine has been banging this gal that has a Fulbright scholarship and was going to be spending part of this year and next year in Luxembourg, and he was going to fly out and spend a month or two with her.  Based on the photos and videos of her, and the flooding in Luxembourg, I can see why he's concerned.

Edit: I'm not going to post the photos of her, because I think her parents have Austin or Texas ties of some sort, and I'm not going have some dad lose his shit over his daughter's nudes, or feel ashamed/embarrassed. It could happen to any of us.

WAPO:

”(Edited to remove “political” statements)

In short, a storm system or zone of low pressure over Central Europe, named “Bernd,”became trapped between flanking areas of high pressure to the west and east.* The low-pressure zone, which tapped tropical moisture from the Mediterranean, unloaded bursts of torrential rain over two to three days. 

In the hardest-hit parts of Germany, two months’ worth of rain fell in 24 hours, according to the Deutscher Wetterdienst, Germany’s meteorological agency. A maptweeted by the agency revealed that it was a 1-in-100-year deluge over a large swath of western Germany, or one that has just a 1 percent chance of occurring in any given year.

Numerous locations in western Germany received 5 to 7 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts, between Tuesday and Thursday. Some of the most extreme downpours occurred Wednesday night into Thursday, when more than a half-foot of rain fell in less than 12 hours.”

 

Two things, that sort of rainfall isn’t extreme by Austin standards, (we saw 13” south of town one afternoon while headed back from the oldest’s well-check,) and, I wonder if Germany has updated its flood-maps (100 year, 500 year, etc.) Austin has done so, with 500 year floods now 100 year floods.

*I think we are currently flanked by high pressure zones to the East and West.

Yeah, that's a pattern that we've seen here in CenTex over the years. Our local weatherfolks have been uttering "sea breeze" for the last two weeks now.
