  1. Past hour
  2. it's amazing how fast the idiots have gone from human activity is so insignificant it can't possible affect the weather to humans are intentionally affecting the weather to hurt red states.
  3. The notion that there was nothing anyone could have done is bullshit. And, not just because flash flood warnings were issued an hour or more before floods took children, and not just because society’s response to Wimberley’s flooding was to install flood warning devices along the Blanco, (which the army corp of engineers worked on,) while ignoring other watersheds, but mainly because losing so many children and adults in a flood is not something you wave away. Sirens anywhere people sleep in the floodplain, activated by any LE entity, all of whom are tasked with flood watch is, at the very least, something that could have been done.
  4. Dick is LaJunta / Mystic. Jane and the Ragsdales are Stewart / Heart o’ the hills. Tragic any way you slice it though. fucking awful.
  5. That is heartbreaking to hear but glad she made it.
  6. https://www.texasobserver.org/trump-texas-doge-cuts-disaster-aid/ I know some will write the commentary off because its in a liberal rag, but somewhat crazy that the dude publishes the article just hours before central Texas gets turbo-fucked by a scenario that is getting more and more common. And the rubes want to keep licking trump/abbot's balls.

  8. Feel is an understatement
  9. That would be socialism like Venezuela where they're eating rats!
  10. Maybe that's who she was referring to.
  11. A post from a friend… This is a tragedy beyond tragedy's. Violent storms on the evening of 7/3 flooded the Guadalupe River which Camp Mystic rests on. The damn broke and all the younger girl cabins down on the "Flats" as they call it were basically submerged. From my daughter Tiny, "Water rose up to the door mom. The only way out was to break the back window and climb out. It was am and I couldn't find my shoes. I was so scared but I kept going. I had my retainers in but didn't want to lose them, so l put them in the pocket of my pajamas. We climbed through the window and headed up the hill. The rocks really hurt my feet and I was so cold and shivering. We got to the top of the mountain and our counselor Annabelle was with us and was so awesome. She kept us safe under a tree. We huddled shivering and singing songs in the dark. Mom I thought I was going to die I was so scared. The thunder and lightening was so loud. Once it got lighter out we made our way back down to the Cypress side of camp and then Annabelle through us over the river and we ran into the dining hall of Cypress where we sat in the dark. They found me some dry clothes. We all just sat there waiting and waiting for hours. Then we were told we were getting on helicopters. Mom I didn't know if I would see you again."
  12. There is an H‑E‑B with a parking garage?
  13. We're talking alternatives to Tech or UCSB here, not UT
  14. Dick the owner passed during the event. His 2 sons run it with him and one had got swept away but they might have found him.
  15. To be fair that was 3 hrs ago.
  16. He'll probably drop out when Trump endorses Paxton
  17. I get the sentiment, but that's not the goal of a college education nor should it be. Thankfully, there's more to life than finance and tech. Lots of people have different callings and there are lots of decent jobs out there in lots of decent areas. I can't afford a White Lotus vacation but have been happy doing the work I do and making the tradeoffs I have made. Also, I've been able to get my kids through college and grad school without debt, so that's a win in life. All that said, yeah, it's still Ole Miss, a provincial backwater of an institution still gripped by a racist past, though they are growing their Texas network.
  18. this nakashima sonego match is nuts. 4 out of 5 sets going to tiebreakers. now in 5th set tie breaker
  19. Even 670 wouldnt shock me when its all said and done. But having to open any floodgates would.
  20. Geometry and volume …..
  21. Every single time.
