Here’s a story about corruption and incompetence, a recurring theme lately: A near monopoly (Motorola) in providing emergency communications equipment gets an upper hand in a bid for Kerr County’s new contract through the use of, well, its monopoly power by rushing the contract with a threat to raise prices (24% profit margin on sales!), using lobbyists to gain advantages, etc. Then, on the local side, you have a contract with shitty stipulations and a Motorola employee on the committee selecting Motorola. The real kicker is that their primary competitor for the contract was the LCRA, which maintains an emergency communications network in much of the Hill Country that provides BETTER coverage and is more useful to emergency responders from other areas coming to assist. I’ve worked with lots of local governments around the state, so I understand this kind of shit is common, but we absolutely have to do better when lives are on the line. And while in this particular situation it might not have mattered because the victims had most likely already passed, this won’t be the only time Kerr County will need to use its shitty new emergency communications system.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
RomaVicta replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
It was a fourth down play as well. If it's called, they're moved out to about the 20 to try another 4th and goal. They whine unceasingly about the referees of the world taking orders from the SEC or money from us to keep the dear old Aggies down. -
Yes sir coach!

The 2023-24 demographic report had some information on losses to area charter schools and other districts. It shows a net loss of 868 students from SY 2017/18 to SY 2022/23. Over that same period, district enrollment fell by 8266 students. Here's a list of area school districts and charter schools that receive students from AISD (transfers out of the district or to charters): And a list of area districts that send students to AISD (transfers in to the district):

Damn, there have been some tragic ass outcomes for several of the kids we’ve followed through recruiting over the years. Descanse en paz. -

Can you imagine what Fox News and Hannity would be saying if Obama had done this?

I want to stomp a mudhole. I hated this SOB and still do.

Yep, he cares a lot more about looking powerful than about anybody dying or any nation’s borders. I’m kind of surprised that Putin didn’t toss him a bone.

flyin solo in Houston this past weekend so I played a lot of golf. Saturday morning at Cypresswood, hadn’t played Cypress in years. They have the first hole torn up to make way for the new clubhouse, and they start you off on 10. Played halfway decent on the front until 18, which historically eats my lunch and was the scene of an epic meltdown in one of the two competitive matches I’ve ever played. a par would get me out in 42 which is solid for me. instead, three balls in the water for a quint and it’s a 47. The ball that finally made it over was a Nike One Platinum I recently scavenged. I played the next 40 holes of golf with that ball—my most ever on a single ball and only the second time I’ve played an entire round without losing a ball. back 9 at cypress, 13 holes at Memorial Park, and 18 at Sharpstown. Nike ball earned its place in the jar

Trumps War on drugs, Venezuela and Colombia
Hank Kingsley replied to Wally Fairway's topic in Cloak Room
This would be the leading national news story every time a boat gets hit in a normal world. Still can't get over how the Trump administration was able to flood the zone with so many criminal actions that none of them matter anymore. -
