  1. Past hour
  2. Job-killing big-government rules and regulations. Nowadays this is known as communism.
  3. Try this: get drunk or stoned and fall down on the sidewalk, you may be injured. Get drunk or stoned and fall in the water, you will probably drown.
  4. The hubris of that graphic is really something. Hopefully NB is never put to the test that Kerrville just was.
  5. Today
  6. Still don't see a starting pitcher for tomorrow. Are we unleashing a Ryan Gusto on them? With a little side of Neris?
  7. Wordle 1,478 3/6* [emoji834]🟨[emoji834][emoji834][emoji834] 🟨🟨🟨🟩[emoji834] 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  8. Austin, Texas: Over Three Dozen Bodies Found in Lake Since 2022, Prompting Fears of Serial Killer
  9. Would like to know your thoughts on my kids going to a California community college over Colorado for Computer Science.
  10. Apparently Austin is a hub for the Natalist movement: I'd have to imagine they would pay the Bullock to hold it there. but then I am sure they have some deep pockets behind them to rent such places to give them the appearance of being more established than they are. Bullock's gotta be turning over in his grave, right?
  11. For every dollar you donate, my law firm will donate two. We’re looking to raise $18,000 by collecting up to $6,000 in donations to the Kerr County Relief Fund operated by the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. Go to the following link to make your donation and in the section at the end regarding “Tribute Information,” enter “Slingshot Law” and choose to notify angie@slingshotlaw.com. https://cftexashillcountry.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=4201
  12. Who didn’t have lucky loser Solana Sierra in the 4th round?
  13. Yes, I was talking to a friend who lives in Kerrville. She said all the campgrounds were loaded. Lots of unknowns. I was surprised we didn't see more housing debris or tents piling up at that bridge. That is a huge watershed between Hunt and Canyon Lake. It's going to ring up some astronomical damages. Hopefully the folks downstream got better warning in a more timely effort.
  14. Counties and school districts and rural hospital districts have been asked to do more and more with less and less. This is a result of our republicans continuing to reduce property taxes to insure re-relection. Schools, roads, hospitals, county services are all expected to pick up the slack. It's rampant. Not just schools, emergency response, distaster preparedness, but it includes things like election expenses too that are accrued while they dream up new ways to suppress votes. Year after year the strain has been pushed onto rural counties and they keep losing good election administrators due to just being fucking tired of the bullshit. I can imagine the same thing for disaster preparedness. And so much of that is heaped onto volunteers. It's fucking insane. And on top of that, they keep taking more and more control from local governments. My county judge, a republican, actually went to Austin to testify why eliminating county wide voting was insane. He's very pissed that Austin keeps grabbing more power and leaving his commissioner's court pushing the shit cart at the end of the parade. You'd think all these commissioners who have to deal with this regularly would stand up and throw down. But they won't. They throw half ass measures at things with complete certainty there will never be a school shooting or train derailment that poisons a whole town. At least not in their county. It is just madness. Much like driving and X amount of fatalities each year is normalized. We are normalized to it, and even though so many rural Texans will play the lottery every day, assured their day is coming, they can't see the odds of catastrophe are much more likely. Especially now with reduced funding going into research and regulation.
  15. i'll guess that every rv park and camp site was sold out family members will be asking out them
  16. Fucking hell. From almost nothing to above the roadway in less than 40 minutes, on a bridge that looks 30-40' high. I told my wife earlier that -esp with this being July 4th weekend - there were probably a whole lot of campers missing that aren't even being counted yet as 'missing', so I don't think they even have a good idea yet how many are actually missing. Then we saw a video at an RV park where there had been 28 RVs parked. They all got washed away. Unknown how many people made it out. Many of them - sometimes whole families - got washed downstream even with people trying their best to rescue them. And that's at an RV park. Now think of all the people who just roll up in their car and pitch a tent. I'm sure we haven't even come close to learning the true extent of this horrific disaster.
  17. That whole company is amazing. Full stop.
  18. What possesses you to start posting your bullshit again when you haven’t posted in six months?
  19. I liked seeing Jonas take some pulls at the front today to split the group in the crosswinds. Good stuff. Primoz may be a nice guy, but he totally lacks any killer instinct. Frankly, a dumb racer. Losing time on stage 1? Not great Bob.
  20. I’m up in Colorado picking up my youngest, a teenager, from camp. The camp director of the Colorado camp broke down in tears at the closing ceremony today and they had a long moment of silence for all the kids and staff lost. This has absolutely gut punched me as it seems like a blink of an eye we were taking our daughter out to camps in the Hill Country when she was the age of these precious little girls. I’m sure we know someone affected as we lived in Austin for fourteen years and thirty in Texas overall but haven’t heard anything yet. Saying that, I’ve never had anything affect me the way this event has…physically ill with sadness.
  21. their disaster team is amazing
