  1. How the hell do you match DNA from a crime scene and not look for the guy?
  2. My 6th grade daughter failed the English portion last year and the school said she had to come into summer school. We talked to a teacher friend in the district and told us that was bullshit. She was able to keep all her electives and they put her in an Inclusion English class. During class she was pulled aside at various times with other kids in the same situation and then made up the 30 hours during the school year. We didn't get notice this year that she "may" have failed so it seems to be a good thing. I don't know if all districts have inclusion classes or not. The silver lining on it was that we had been telling the school that she might have dyslexia for years. They tested her in 4th grade and she didn't qualify. We brought it up again when she failed and they did a more comprehensive test which showed that she does qualify for help with dyslexia. She will have to loose an elective next year as there is now a "dyslexia" class, but there are 4 electives and she is in the 2 that matter most so she doesn't care.
  3. Former co-worker was murdered by his brother while moving his elderly parents out of the house about 10 years ago. The brother was going to have to move out as well, but they told him they would help him out and get him on his feet. Didn't matter he went back into the house came out with a gun and shot my co-worker in the back 5-6 times.
  4. Someone just asked our flags at the front of the neighborhood be put at half mast for this guy.....
  5. I am on the board of our Water Control and Improvement District(Similar to a MUD). Most of the area in our neighborhood is controlled by this entity and not the HOA. I initially got on the board to keep up to date with the things going on in our area. The amount of crazy and entitlement that people have started to actually voice in the last few years has increased dramatically. Residents wanted the board to pay to cleanup their personal property from the freeze. We had another guy request that we plant live oaks in the common area adjacent to his property so people walking down the sidewalk couldn't see into his house because they would forget to close the blinds. It is never-ending in the amount of things that people think they are owed or have a right too.
  6. Wow...couldn't stop cringing/laughing at this one.
  7. Small hail in dripping
  8. Getting dark east of dripping
  9. Wind going hard in 78737(dripping) and starting to get dark
  10. Yep and people coming out saying it was a bad decision and they should still have it. You know cause they are selfish and want to have fun. Yeah, we all want to have fun, but not at the risk of a kids dying from a egg side piece of hail to the dome. There is not adequate shelter for the amount of people that go down there. It was the right call.
  11. Right when the parade for Founders Day in Dripping is supposed to start. They haven't cancelled yet, but that will be bad news if they go and a severe storm passes through
  12. They have already started building the infrastructure in Florida.
  13. While that was the official plan, in reality I don't think they thought it was going to make it that far. They still have never had all raptor engines work at the same time.
  14. Space X just said Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly
  15. I don't think it did. Someone said it was the flight termination system.
  16. Everything is looking good. Hoping for a great show! T-Minus minutes ~7 min
  17. Musk is going to have them launch on 4/20 isn't he.....

    SpaceX

    8:20am projected liftoff for starship.
  19. And they have to be in control when they redraw the lines every ten years.
  20. Yeah, this has been a known issue for years. No idea why it is popping up again.
  21. So how many people are we talking about? I have looked, but haven't been able to find a number. To me it looks between 3-15 depending on how far back you go.
  22. Review posted to google about Jester King
  23. 78737 getting a shit ton of rain
  24. Yeah, she didn't think about K-12 until someone mentioned it to her. Now she has plans to file that bill. With all the forced open carry laws on public campuses you think they would be the safest place.
  25. I have USAA as well and would typically say this, but a year ago a lady totaled my car and the process of the 3rd party they used to pay me was a beating. They totaled the car within a week of the accident. It was almost 2 months before I had a deposit. They paid me what I paid for the car 3 years earlier, so that was nice.
