  2. I thought "I've got a lighter and I want all of us to die" was a nearly unbeatable quote, but then I got to "assuming you could get your clothes off and get erect fast enough..."
  3. If the history of MAGA voters is any indication, none of this will fucking matter when it comes time to vote
  4. Depends on how far back in time you wanna go. I’m just playing the odds and assuming the person who posted that hasn’t lived here their whole lives… I live on Barton Creek, albeit a bit upstream. It got a pretty decent amount of water, and it’s still flowing nicely, but it didn’t really get THAT much water. We’ve had several storms over the last few years that contributed far more to it. The water is staying in the creek longer than it has in 4-5 years simply because the rain has come in several spurts, but we never got a sustained influx of a lot of water. Now, one more good deluge would probably do it, at least where I am, but that doesn’t seem to be in the cards. 20-30 years ago though? Yeah, I don’t know the answer. Growing up, there was water down there most years, even fairly late into the summer. Of course, there were bad years when it mostly dried up before school even let out, but those were the exceptions. They now seem closer to the rule. Purely from my own observations, it just seems like there’s far less residual, ground water. Back in the day, after heavy rains, it seemed like water was coming out of the ground (near the creeks) for weeks. Now, it’s a couple days at best. I’d assume that has a lot to do with construction and impervious cover doing a number of things (destroying a lot of those natural underground waterways, diverting water elsewhere, collecting water in retention ponds, etc). Just think about every culvert and storm drain. So much water is collected far from the creek and then dumped almost straight into it. All that water used to take days/weeks to work its way down to the creek. It now happens in minutes. That leaves the creeks to receive the initial runoff, but provides far less residual groundwater inflow. That leads to empty creek beds within days, even after torrential downpours. There’s surely other reasons, but I’d be shocked if my theory isn’t a huge contributing factor.
  5. Based on a couple posts from yesterday, it sounds like volunteers aren’t needed at the moment? How long is that likely to be the case? I planned to drive up to help clear debris tomorrow and Thursday. Is that not recommended? If not, would it be better after a couple more days once the initial round of volunteers taps out? Any good links around where someone is posting for volunteer signup or something of the sort? I’ve sent money and supplies, but I’ve still got my body and a bunch of gear I can put to use, just don’t wanna get in the way.
  6. Goddamn chicken tax
  7. This is why nobody is giving you any grace. Such a person certainly isn’t sharing anything with you, and if they are, they can’t be trusted in the slightest. First, the simple fact that they shared it is likely treason. Second, their poor lack of judgment in trusting you to keep your mouth shut indicates they have a terrible sense of character. Both of those facts make the rest of us think you and/or your friend are full of shit.
  8. Well, that’s not exactly the lyric Should’ve known somebody would’ve beaten me to that
  9. That fucking asshole cop tried to kill the dude twice. First, at the 15 second mark, he tries to trample straight over him. The horse clearly did its best to NOT crush the guy. Same cop circles around and tries to get him again at the 30 second mark. Again, dude is probably only alive because the horse was careful not to step directly on the guy. If that cop had his way, the guy would be dead, and that horse would be getting euthanized right now.
  10. Whole milk isn’t 40%?
  11. 17 of 17 … if not being exact. Like, not Walmart, but a retail store. And surprisingly, not a boat, but many times on a jet ski. Lot of overlap too. Like, closet, bathroom, washer/dryer, friends bed … could all double up with being at a party.
  12. There a run rule in title games?
  13. Apparently some of y'all aren’t aware of this, but networks make their money off the people watching on TV. They don’t give a shit about those attending the game.
  14. So, yeah. Apparently you've never seen a gecko
