  1. And where I uncomfortably end up. I don't necessarily agree that it's "right" but it's "right" right now...
  2. That pragmatism is focused on the fetus. What about the woman? Expand on that. The woman is still alive postpartum? I've left out the child/mother issue. That's a different decision. I'm not saying it's trivial, just a separate discussion.
  3. So if "viability" is a function of science and we're making these decisions that have ethical implications based on the current state of science.... where does that leave us? I think we can agree that at point X in time science will allow conception come to a child. Are we "wrong" at this point in time to allow that conception to be terminated? Because we are limited by today's science? Is it purely a pragmatic decision?
  4. Fair enough. But a viable Pod/pool is different today than it was 20 years ago or will be in 20 years.Does this change the morality/ethics of the decision?
  5. So if you were in a coma with a heart beat and brain function but on life support... Can we extinct you?
  6. This is an obscenely horrible topic so why not take it to the nth degree. I'm generally pro-life. Two kids I hope one day attend UT as I did. Your wife is raped and becomes pregnant... 6-7 weeks later there is a heartbeat.... Is an abortion an option? If it is an option at that point in the case of rape, are other instances precluded?
  7. If you have a ton of trees dropping leaves I would consider. Otherwise I would avoid. Most systems were designed and manufactured based on Arizona environment- dust and small debris. They were bulked up for other markets. Get a 280 or robotic. You'll spend a ton less money with little noticeable difference. If builder is trying to sell you on water movement/chemical distribution there are cheaper ways to achieve this without putting an extra 100+ feet of pvc under your pool.
  8. Houston has a phenomenal softball pool of talent. I know a number of former D1 players who coach in and around and when they talk about aspirations for their kids, Texas is never in the conversation. Hopefully this will change.
  9. Good luck. Administration should take very seriously. I know of a case in the greater Houston area where the FBI contacted a principal and arrested a student on campus after he posted some insane shit on social media.
  10. Do you have any connections with school personnel? Personally know a teacher, avp, principal etc? There's an infrastructure there (and probably available during summer) and may be an avenue without going to the cops.
  11. Have the Hamilton Beach model. It takes forever to make a pot or cup. The k-cup needle gets clogged easily..... Looking for recommendation as well
  12. Just bought a 15 with under 40k miles. Couple things I advise. Don't buy a '12. Tons of problems from what I researched. Carfax.com is a great way to narrow down. I settled on model, features etc and kept searching till found exact Jeep at price I wanted to pay. Fucking love driving daily.
  13. Stick to a robotic that has local warranty. Love my robotic BUT they're expensive to fix. As much as I hate Leslie's, they do warranty. I'd buy whatever your local store supports.
  14. Why did you steal a BGE?
  15. Washington leaving office after 2 terms Emancipation proclamation Gettysburg address Wickard v filburn Vietnam war
  16. All I know is Kevlar will be with my kids on 1st day of school next year.
  17. Nothing with "rational" and "discussion" is allowed in the cloak room. The Hugo out front should have told you.
  18. If you think pool motors are over-priced, these things are fucking stupid.
  19. Rule 5, rule 8. Repeat and hope you never get to 12
  20. May of '73 to August of '74. May of '17 to August of 18. Cool
  21. This Leonard Blavatnik is a rich dude. Shocked he hasn't been wining/dining American political class and showering them with money for decades.
