Yes. At least get Iran to agree to a ceasefire and get it to (temporarily) cease funding terror campaigns. I’m not sure some of yall realize how bad ass Israeli military is. Head to head, Israel would absolutely obliterate Iran. Is this a real question?
Actual photo of Israeli army massing right now:

Austin FF will chew this up and spit it out in no time.
Except for Bee Cave, where it will flood.

Same here for Hays.
Appraised value up 10%.
"Market value" down 15%, but still 12% higher than appraised. So I assume I have 0% chance of winning any challenge. The market value seems to be pretty close to what I could sell it for.
You never know. If you can show that the comps being used for the market valuation aren't directly comparable to your house (more recently renovated, etc.) and can show that more similar houses are selling for less, then you could make a case. My FIL protests every year, and eventually when he retired he served on the Travis County board that handles disputes. As long as people came in and told a reasonable story, he said they'd often cut at least some if it.

i’m one of them and it fucking sucks.
I have three friends that all built pools during COVID and every single one of them is dealing with this issue. It's not normal, it's a massive mistake by whomever was responsible for that part of the build.

Say what now? Haven’t paid the most attention but what’s the disconnect from this:
Not saying there for sure was an attack but seems like the Iranian embassy was attacked by Israel.
He's saying it's in question whether or not that was in fact an "embassy." Israel definitely did it.

got some folks in from out of state and want to take them to get some good bbq for early supper today. we're in central austin. it seems like every time i drive by Black's it's slammed. Anyone tried to go there early dinner time lately? any other spots you can rec?
Really the only decent BBQ joints near central Austin that have true dinner dining room hours are Terry Black's on Barton Springs and Stiles Switch on North Lamar.

Finally getting to eat some crawfish for the first time in the year of our Lord 2024. Buddy of mine having a small boil tomorrow. Our mutual supplier that drives a refrigerated truck over from LA on the weekends is down to $3.75 for large mix. Still high, but comfortably in the realm of "tolerable" and there's usually very little dead loss or undersized mudbugs in his sacks.
Man $3.75 seems like an absolute steal for THIS season, enjoy!
None of my friends that normally do boils are having them this year, for obvious reasons I suppose. So II've hit up restaurants several times this season, paying outrageous sums, but don't care, had crawfish.

This is the one my friends and I are aiming for. 2026 will be 10 years since the three of us went to Spain/Portugal - seems like a perfect time to go back!
Sounds like it's time for you to start the "2026 Spanish Total Solar Eclipse Never Too Early To Get Ready" thread!

Isn’t Austin Subaru in that area?
Yes it's on Burnet Road a block north of Anderson Lane. On a site that used to be a Ross Dress For Less, and a Chuck E Cheese Pizza. Which was a Showbiz Pizza before that, and the whole building was a Kroger even before that.

PM ROFL.
No hail and not much rain in NW Travis. Totals all day are at 0.08"

My gauge just went past 0.02.
But hey, at least there are chances of tornadoes and hail over the next 5 hours. Getting no rain but tornadoes and hail would be just awesome.

One of the downsides of the craft beer explosion in the USA, is that we've lost access to a lot of great imports. I used to drink the hell out of some Young's, Fuller's, Sam Smith, Whitbread. Now it's tough to find any of them even in bottles or cans, and you can forget about draught.

China's no longer a low-cost manufacturing nation for many of the products that the US shifted over there during the past 2-3 decades. And American companies have been starting to move manufacturing out of China for several years now, the pandemic exacerbated the problems and sped up the timelines for many of those companies.
But it took decades to get here and it'll take the same to unwind it.

I know they're a bunch of self-loathing dipshits who project all of their crap onto others, but I'm really at a loss for what exactly Texas has done so far to be a "cancer" in the SEC? We're not even in the conference yet.
The ags got their wet dream of hosting the first game in the revived rivalry, so no cancer there. Texas is losing the LHN, so no cancer there. Texas' SEC schedule is fairly favorable but so is the ags', and we play Michigan OOC while they're playing Nichols State or somebody, so I don't really see any evidence of cancer there.
If anything, in some ways Texas is being stripped and humbled before the altar of the SEC. You think the ags would actually appreciate that. But no, they're simply incapable of feeling anything but fear and hate, whenever UT is mentioned.

Yup fuck that place for those two things lol.
Our school had the worst architecture by far and to top it off they give us that shithole to career fair and graduate in? Fuck off Ernest Cockrell
i did get to work on the new EERC so at least that side of campus is headed in the right direction. All those brutalist ugly shit buildings and that crappy orange steel beam “art” sculpture need to head to the dump ASAP.
We referred to ENS as "The Toilet" because the halls were all lined with those little bathroom tiles. Man what a piece of shit. And don't even get me started on "The Penthouse" and the smells coming from those microwaves.

If a minority party leaves a coalition then it can force early elections by calling for a vote of no confidence, but they don’t always want to do that. If they don’t call for a vote of no confidence then the government can continue as a minority government. If they win a vote of no confidence then usually you’ll get a caretaker government appointed until there is a fresh election.

the most recent projection i saw was to have an expectation of it taking 4 hours to get to Austin from eastern Gillespie County.
See? COTA is a lot worse than that!

Thank you, I saw that but forgot about it. According to that, traffic was much heavier in populated areas. The shitty weather will also cause quite a few people to stay home or seek an area with better weather too.
This is what I'm hoping.

a) I have decided to view the eclipse with friends who live just outside Indy, and the weather forecast has been iffy, but Monday is starting to look better (gawd I hope I'm not jinxing myself)b) Mrs Fairway has gone high anxiety, near panic, mode for this event. She says the Indy had declared public emergency, schools are closing, she read that there are estimates of over 1 million, food and gas shortages due to influx of people. AND to top all of that she decided to test the eclipse glasses that we have and now she thinks they might all be fakes and not safe for the viewing. She says that when she tried them on last night that the lights in the room were still (very dimly) visible, so next she tested them with her cell phone flashlight and again dim light was visible.
So I looked (sources linked below) and a small amount of light should be visible with a phone light and a bright bulb (unless it is frosted or in a shaded fixture - which they were not). And Indianapolis has a population of about 900,000, so a million isn't that many people coming in & it is a, like us, I think many people will not go into the city but rather view in an outlying area. Then she got mad when I said if it seemed like a bad decision to go and she was too worried that we could just drop the trip (which I will fess up, I was bluffing/lying) which made her rethink her overreaction.

Fuck it/Floor it - I'm all in on this bitch (and she better not be a just a tease....looking at you Mother Nature and the weather)
Just gas up ahead of time, pack a cooler with food and snacks, and do it.
I think a lot of folks are overthinking this thing. They see pictures of crowded highways from the last one and think it's armageddon, but none of those folks died from starvation on the side of the road. They all made it home eventually.
Heck, I bet it's much worse trying to get out of the parking lot at COTA after a Formula 1 race or a Rolling Stones concert, than it will be traveling the highways of Central Texas on Monday.

No way man, do you even read this board? Surlys MUST run their air conditioners at 68 throughout the summer.
