  1. Past hour
  2. That worm Mike Johnson has the audacity to call it divine providence that trump was spared his assassination attempt. He didn’t mention the firefighter that was killed. The reason trump lived wasn’t because of a fairytale deity stepping in, it was because the bullet went in one ear and out the other and killed the firefighter because there was nothing to stop it.
  3. took a min but i figured out who this dude was lmao https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Morrow_(Texas_politician) https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/incendiary-state-board-of-education-candidate-rob-morrow-advances-to-runoff Also, agreed! Anyone who helped cover it up after as well!

  5. Very nicely done and cool music. Good job.
  6. Cross posting as to leave the rans thread to be about rain. https://www.sacurrent.com/news/camp-mystic-leader-waited-an-hour-to-evacuate-campers-after-receiving-alert-about-central-texas-flooding-37982314?fbclid=IwY2xjawLkibtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF3ZUk2VkJrTm1pNmt0NWtVAR4VsE_vvDUMbR8M5o1DxSzC7SQgduZslCZ7bMPupj3V2R-VGHAGEiL_7dKp7g_aem_liMX61VGp7l5XkN0clbycA
  7. Not only would I not do it, I also would not watch someone else do it nor would I even get out of the fucking car if I happened upon that place.
  8. It seems pretty clear that you don't get the concept. Simple warning systems like this have been used to great effect for a long time. You tie them to dangerous water levels upstream. These can be very predictably modeled to a fairly high degree of precision. Yes, there would have to be some attempt to educate the community on the best course of action. You remember tornado and fire drills in school (now with active shooter drills)? You remember public service announcements on TV? Shit like that works.
  9. Close as I'll ever get to heaven is makin' speed up ol' 87...
  10. For some reason I looked at this motto as though it were new. I got excited thinking of what this offence can do with an accurate long ball passer. When Arch lives up to the expectation, I think there will be games where teams are blown out before they know what hit them. There will be the excitement of know we can score from anywhere. It takes more than an excellent passing attack to win championships, but it's sure nice to think of what our pass game might look like. Written with no criticism of Ewers.
  11. So if your on the o-line and you see them move you jump no matter and it's a free 5 yards?
  12. When used properly, it's the same word.

  16. After an event of this magnitude, those responsible for public safety (and private safety) need to get assed to either turn off the other alerts on their phone or pay enough attention to sort the trivial from the serious.

    xTx Trail

    Are you posting elsewhere on Surly about this? Wife and a couple of our friends are wanting to do this, and we're just starting to explore the idea. Here would be a good place, too, I think, but the Camino probably has or deserves its own thread.

    White Lotus is much funnier than The Bear
  19. I don't like it either. We've had the discussion. The word rises like lightning in the mind when considering some people. Most people use it aptly without regard to sex, but it still has that degrading aspect. There is no such word for men. I only use the word when with people who know exactly what I mean. I rarely use it, however. The deacons will pass the collection plate. I'll be in back with the altar boys.
  20. Ok, but the point is the dude in the instagram post in the OP is not talking about what the best movies from 1995 are.

    xTx Trail

    Having a single-state trail in a place with as rich a heritage as Texas is pretty appealing, which is why I'm surprised to find no earlier references to this trail on Surly. But you're right -- this isn't like most of the famed national trails with logical paths across lots of public land (and which could rely on eminent domain like around 16 percent of the Appalachian Trail did). Most of them also avoid large urban/suburban areas, which xTx will have a harder time doing. I live about 10 miles from the closest spot to me on Ice Age Trail, which is entirely in Wisconsin. That particular stretch has been both road walk and tread through private land in the time I've been here. It's gone back and forth because the tread portion had no formal easement agreement and the landowner had a beef with the state's Department of Natural Resources after getting fined for deer baiting. Unfortunate, because that piece of land has some of the best glacial drumlins anywhere on the trail (with those geological features being the organizing theme for the entire trail). Other beautiful stretches, like one on the Fox River that used to be a Boy Scout camp but then got bought privately and also had no easement, have also been taken out. Others are still being added, because about 500 miles of the trail are still road walking. A lot of nice country roads, but some aren't. Both easements and the problem of water in the western stretches of this trail are going to be massive logistical issues. That will be a mess, but some folks will do it. The appeal of finishing a big challenge like this always grabs a few. And if it's well planned, the trail will get some good bike traffic out of those same urban areas into the surrounding country -- assuming there's enough of it that's relatively easy to get to. Agreed -- love the idea and he deserves huge credit. But it looks like the Trans American Trail is not at all intended for hiking. I hadn't really heard about this trail, but I'm starting to think about doing stretches of some of American bike routes in retirement. I'm wondering if some of the western xTx stretches could even be hiked (and if other stretches could be biked). Not sure that any other national trail has a combination of that little water and public access for such a long stretch. Will be incredible to pull this off. (BTW, @Bevo&Pevo, thanks for bringing this up -- enjoyed reading about the TAT and its similarly named precursor, which was also unfamiliar to me.)
  22. You can read about it online and the pros and cons of each. What's online matched what the dr said. I had the same attitude as you at first but a little research...
