  1. Past hour
  2. I mean you're wrong about everything that you're saying. If you want to get all in your feelings about it that's fine.
  3. It’s only the 2nd week of CFB being back, shut up and watch it like a good little junkie
  4. He's the best.
  5. That's an odd size indeed, just a smidge under half the pint+ cans of 16.9 oz, so almost the same as the 4-packs of 16.9 oz cans at 67.6 oz vs a 6-pack of 12 oz at 72 oz.
  6. Some stuff I looked up: How much does an Austin Police Officer make? Base Pay: While in academy, $60,000 per year. After graduation, base pay rises to $70,644 After 1 year, base pay rises to $79,277 After 2 years, base pay rises to $87,498 After 10 years, base pay hits $100,176 .. and tops out at $118,132 Officers can earn overtime pay and other pay stipends based on language skills, certifications, education, etc. These might add $10,000 or so to base pay, for those that qualify. This job requires a high school diploma or GED, US citizenship, a drivers license, the ability to read, write and speak English, and either 12 semester hours of college credit or 2 years in the military or two years of work experience. You have to be 20.5 years of age to enter the academy. You can graduate high school, work two years somewhere, and you are good to apply. The job comes with health benefits and a pension. Officers get 150 hours of vacation, 150 hours of sick leave, 88 hours of holiday leave, three personal holidays and 16 hours of wellness leave. Officers work four 10 hour days in a row, then have three days off. At 10 hrs per day, they have about 43 days of leave per year, if you add up all of their vacation/sick/personal/etc. They can take an additional 120 hours for military leave. Most of my data is from here: https://www.austintexas.gov/apdrecruiting/pay-benefits How dangerous is it to be an Austin Police Officer? I could not find data on officer injuries, but the city lists 29 officers killed in the line of duty from 1875-2025: https://www.austintexas.gov/page/officers-killed-line-duty I count eleven that were killed by gun violence and fourteen killed in a vehicular collision. One had a heart attack. Three were killed by COVID in Fall 2021, which was after vaccines were rolled out. Either they didn't get the shot or were unlucky. The police department has about 1500 officers. It's possible to die on the job as a police officer, but it's not common. You are as likely to be killed in a crash as you are by a gun.
  7. What are the best ones to go get?
  8. Why the hell wouldn't it be?
  9. Johnson doesn’t come up with this on his own. Somebody told him to run with this, which is even more ridiculous. These idiots will say anything and everything to continue to obfuscate the logical conclusion — Trump is all over the Epstein stuff and the goods are there to destroy him. Bondi/DOJ has them, Putin/Russia has them and Bibi/Israel has them.
  10. You’ve got that backwards. Epstein was bidding on a famous Palm Beach property and brought Trump along while they toured it to see what he thought. Trump then fucked over Epstein and snagged it out from under him. That’s allegedly when their friendship ended and it was because Epstein ended it, not Dotard.
  11. Love that park. Not as in to The Battery as most folks but hard to beat Truist on a cool September night
  12. Please tell me that isn’t real
  13. it was a rough day in the med center, but thankfully it all ended up good
  14. this line ip tomorrow is horrible
  15. Another episode without Rowe. He’s still narrating Bering Sea Gold though.
  16. @TwiceHorn this is what we have been trying to beat into you for a decade. I appreciate that you view everything through the lens of the supposed law and how it’s supposed to work. The simple truth is these people operate not just outside the law, but outside of rational thought. You can’t take what they say and try and squeeze it through the sieve of the reality you’ve operated in for your career. It’s whatever they want it to be in the moment. Like Gozer. I know that breaks your brain, but you need to start thinking that way. Or just accept you will go mad trying to rationalize their worldview, if you haven’t already.
  17. "Incredible" I doubt. If they have visitors, it's probably to see their dysfunction so they can laugh as much as us.
  18. 44-13 Texas 243 rushing yds
  19. Gonna keep posting it.
  20. The woman he wrote it about went on to kill John Belushi.
  21. It’s coming! Getting breezy in 78723
  22. Durr, if you don’t get it right the first time and have to resort to further testing and evidence to make new conclusions, then what good were you to begin with? The scientific method is bogus man! Sorry, I hate these people. They are a drain on humanity and should be summarily dismissed.
  23. Hmm joined July 28 BUT, no crypto posts. Maybe it is becoming self aware
