    We got Soul?

    Another apropos documentary is Summer of Soul about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival. I think it's streaming on Hulu.
  3. Signed, Ron “long” Vara.
  4. Another FCS addition
  5. Oh, great, here we go with another recapture plan. First it was the schools and now you want to Robin Hood our water.
  6. Cool. Think about it all you want. Again, if you think you just came up with the idea of a massive interbasin transfer, and how it will solve all of the water woes to the west, feel free to think that. We're just suggesting that maybe, just maybe, the literally thousands of engineers and boots-on-the-ground policymakers who work on these issues every day, many of them for their entire careers, MIGHT have had the same brainstorms you're having. And they MIGHT have run down the practical implications, costs, regulatory hurdles, etc. as part of that exercise. And those efforts MIGHT have consistently revealed that large-scale interbasin transfer projects are not particularly practical. Again, I've seen actual plans for potential projects - the kind of thing that went beyond mere concept and into nuts and bolts, and said "if there's anyone out there who wants to acquire this water and move it elsewhere, here's how it could be done. Any takers?" Nope. Our existing water supplies are well-inventoried. Future sources and supplies are likewise well-inventoried. Projects to maximize and develop supply are discussed openly. These plans are developed on both a state-wide and regional basis. https://www.twdb.texas.gov/waterplanning/index.asp You can click through there to the State Water Plan and each Regional Water Plan. Those plans are developed after literally tens of thousands of hours of analysis by people who do this for a living. There are a shitload of reasons that there are no 200+ mile pipelines to move water from the wet east to the dry west. And it's not because nobody thought of a good way to do it until earlier today.
  7. And this is exactly my objection to the entire concept of Regionality. Fuck the geographic emphasis. Make it fair.
  8. That's what getting plunked and going oppo field does for a guy. Burger time.
  9. Can't mop the floors if his elbow gets hurt.
  10. You know, I did things the right way. People said I should save for my son's education, so I saved for my son's education. Started a 529 because people said it was the right way. I didn't choose anything too risky, just Index Funds because people said it was the right way. I put a little (very little) money in each month and put some of his birthday and Christmas money every year. My son graduated high school last year with $20K in that 529. I know that's nothing to some of ya'll, but to me, considering that I started college with Jack Shit, being able to give my son that $20K is something I take great pride in. And now, after 20 years of doing the right thing, when my son actually needs that money to pay for school, I'm worried Trump's fucking around and I'm going to be the one finding out. Fuck every one of you that voted for him. Fuck you for not knowing better. Fuck you for not caring.
  11. It’s literally the only positive thing he has going in his life, let him have it
  12. It's the opposite of the Trump Mushroom
  13. Just dress in the suit.
  14. it's like the gold commercials talking about "this economic disaster we're having".... that have noticeably disappeared in the last 6 weeks
  15. My favorite part is her saying kids buying Tylenol only to find out it’s laced with junk. 😂😂”yo, you got that new Tylenol extra strength, I wanna party tonight”😂😂
  16. If the committee gives Texas the same regional that D1 baseball is projecting, that would be criminal. To give the #1 National Seed the RPI 17 as a 2 seed, the RPI 34 as a 3 seed, and a 4 seed that made it to Omaha 2 years ago and is almost in the RPI top 100 would be unjust to say the least
  17. They're already running with "the contraction was due to the 'Biden Overhang'" -- no explanation of what that actually IS, or connection to any actual data. But trust us - anything bad is Biden's fault.
