Christian murdered his teacher in the Murchison room next to my nephew’s class.
I was at Lamar.
Just talked to a paralegal I work with last week about this and she was in the damn room when it happened. -
Storm just missed my cars that were in a parking lot of one of the dripping springs middle schools. Any further west and both would have been trashed

No idea. Was not in the article. Vote is this week. Kyle City Manager is on record saying we don't have a water problem in San Marcos. To hell we don't.
Kyle already pulls from here and from Canyon Lake, which was stated above as being low as well as the highland lakes.
Yeah, we have water problems all over the area. Doesn't San Marcos pull from Canyon lake as well? So same straw different meter.
There are a significant amount of people using ridiculous amounts of water. In my area there are a number of houses using 40k gallons a month. Water is a vital and limited resource and folks don't understand it just doesn't come out of the tap or sprinkler head via magic. It is going to take everyone conserving to ensure we have water to drink over the next decade.

Kyle is asking San Marcos for 450,000 more gallons a day. Not sure where San Marcos will get it.
I guess rapid growth, green lawns, new builds and other shit has an impact on water needs.
I wonder how many water taps that is for. That’s about what my area of 1000 homes uses a day…which is ridiculous. -
streamflows are starting to slow. We need some more rain in those basins while the ground is soaked.

Yep. I believe we are close to 100,000 acre feet added in the last week. That takes us over the 900k acre ft that requires LCRA customers to go to Stage 2 restrictions. That being said, to go back to Stage 1 restrictions the lakes need to be at 1.1 million and inflows need to be flowing. The rain last weekend did a lot and will possibly help the area from going to stage 4 later in the summer.

He'll be at McCallum. It's not bad, but it's not Westlake or Westwood.
There's a young lawyer at my law firm who went to the Kealing magnet for middle school, and he would have gone to LASA, but UT had just implemented the Top 10% rule, and his dad told him he needed to go to Austin High. Good decision in the long run.
I have heard of kids going to Bowie the first couple of years and then transferring to Crocket to get into the top 10% or 6.5%....whatever UT is requiring these days.

Look at the units in the first tweet. It's that number x 1000, or at least that's how I read it.
I’m dumb, delete user -
If that number is correct, Samsung consumes 2,438,050,700,000 gallons per year, or 7,482,104 acre ft. / year. For reference, Lake Travis at full is 1.1M acre ft. So Samsung consumes nearly 7 FULL Lake Travises annually?!
You have an extra 3 zeros on the end
~325,000 gallons to acre foot
So around 7500 acre feet.
Still a lot of water. -

So who ordered the dean of students message yesterday if Hartzell didn’t have anything to do with this?
If he is just being told what to do and doesn’t agree with it then burn the house down. -

Dear UT community,
This has been a challenging day for many. We have witnessed much activity we normally do not experience on our campus, and there is understandably a lot of emotion surrounding these events.
Today, our University held firm, enforcing our rules while protecting the Constitutional right to free speech. Peaceful protests within our rules are acceptable. Breaking our rules and policies and disrupting others’ ability to learn are not allowed. The group that led this protest stated it was going to violate Institutional Rules. Our rules matter, and they will be enforced. Our University will not be occupied.
The protesters tried to deliver on their stated intent to occupy campus. People not affiliated with UT joined them, and many ignored University officials’ continual pleas for restraint and to immediately disperse. The University did as we said we would do in the face of prohibited actions. We were prepared, with the necessary support to maintain campus operations and ensure the safety, well-being and learning environment for our more than 50,000 students.
We are grateful for the countless staff members and state and University law enforcement officers, as well as support personnel who exercised extraordinary restraint in the face of a difficult situation that is playing out at universities across the country. There is a way to exercise freedom of speech and civil discourse, and our Office of the Dean of Students has continued to offer ways to ensure protests can happen within the rules. The University of Texas will continue to take necessary steps so that all our University functions proceed without interruption.
Sincerely yours,
Jay Hartzell

Can’t find the original though which is making me skeptical.
Yeah, looks like she is a professor at UT. Just wanted to make sure before I sent it to others.
I hope it is real -

Just now, YGIFS said:I thought the DCC was still open. Are you referring to DDCE? Because yeah, that's being shut down. Their last event is the Tower Awards deal in a couple weeks. Our Subiendo program is still on pins and needles to see if we survive. We're green-lit for this summer's academy. But after that is a total crapshoot.
Yeah typing to fast and left the E off. Yes they are still open, but they are gone as of July 1st.

UT Comms has gone dark for awhile, especially internally. Ever since the closing of the DCC.

International Office went to appointment only. When I got my photo taken in January, I booked my appointment 15 minutes before. I cannot speak to the PO. I assume you are likely correct.
Yep, there are plenty appointments for tomorrow. They also changed their name to Texas Global 5 years ago, so if you look for the international office you may not find it.

Went to the passport office at UT at the end of January. Used the normal timeframe and had the new ones in 3 weeks. Was able to make an appointment with them online.

i have USAA, had a 50% increase last year, and another 50% increase this year. Been with them over 10 years and have never made a claim.
I have had USAA for 20yrs due to my wife. Homeowners went from just under 2k two years ago to 5k this last yr. Shopping around next year.

Had mine done last Friday. Family history of polyps, so they wanted me to get one done at 45, although I am hearing they are now saying all 45 yr old's need them. Fasting wasn't that hard, but the prep had me in the bathroom all night. Procedure was at 7:30am, so I got home slept some and then watched March Madness.
They did remove 3 polyps and I will get the result within the next week or so, but doc wasn't concerned. Probably on a 3-5yr checkup timeline due to family history. I did come out of the sleep asking for Jameson and brisket, so I prolly need to rethink how much I drink.
My wife did consider divorcing me due to the sounds that were coming out of the bathroom.
Went to a bday party that night for a friend. Ate a lot of brisket and had a beer(apparently not supposed to drink for 24 hrs).
