the devestating loss of the girls is most in my mind, but Ive seen several posts over the last day that seem to be going into a dangerous monday morning quartreback role. its been 17 years since I moved back to austin and the lake level has always been something the meteorolgists talked about a lot. Like a lot a lot. and in the last 17 years when the lake level got below 670, any forecasted rain event that could have Lake level implications was always mentioned/ talked about by those weather folks. and in every single case I can remember, a possible lake level rise impactor system was always talke about for multiple days leading up to the event- even those times when the possible prediciotion didnt pan out or was a small lake riser.... I do not recall a single weather app, forecaster, or even the JV crew now working KXAN even THNKING about mentionging this storm system being a mega Lake rise impactor yet, in 1 day LT has gone up 8 feet, with this rain bomb hitting in the Lago Vista/Leander area thats gonna go up even more... my point.... the predictors mentioned yes there was a chance for flooding... but none of them even thought about talking about a 15+ foot lake rise in 2 days and that looks like what is going to happen. this fucking storm is a complete outlier.

I agree with the sentiment, and in a known case of "this flood will happen and it will be catastrophic" throwing everyone in the back of pickup trucks is clear and obvious yes. but you also have to look at the other side of the coin.... the side where the rain doesnt come down as hard and the major flood doesnt happen, but one of those personal trucks with 5 kids the back of the truck, takes a turn too wide, loses control and flips over and kids get hurt..... and suddenly everyone is screaming why the fuck were pickup trucks taking kids out of the camps??? and shit goes sideways in that situation as well. thats the scenario that causes so many private entities and government agencies have to wait till the last minute to make a stay or go call.

while thats true, getting the information to the camps and being able to act on it is the main issue, flood warnings are issued numerous times a year and actual flooding only end up actally coming to fruition occurs at a much smaller percentage. And then trying to wrap your minds around a once in 500 year flood that manifests over 5 hours at the dead of night is inconceivable. I would assume the leaders of the camps had either hardline phone or internet and got the warning, but the main rains didnt happen until later in the day, and the actual rise was catastrophic at 2am in the morning. there will be a shitload of fingerpointing and TJH and his team will wait a respectable day or two and then drop lawsuits on anyone associated with the hill country... and the loss of the kids will be lost in the process. time will tell if there was enough time to actually warn the camps and for them to act on the information or if this was a catastrophe set the moment the camps were set up decades ago. but acting like a single flood warning is a badge of protection is rediculous. I hope the number of confirmed losses doesnt climb any higher but that seems unlikely.

wsop ruled that the two guys who colluded to let the small stack win the bracelet are both getting paid the remaining money of the tournament... but bracelet is not awarded (although it kinda looks like they did that already since the winner has the bracelet in his winning pics) several X users are swearing the two are getting a lifetime worldwide Harrah's ban. i mean I get that its a bad look but those two were unquestionably the last guys standing and a subsidiary of the WSOP is giving this $1M bonus and they didnt think that wouldnt impact the smaller events???? bad pool all around.

pure unadulterated full-on aggression. I posted about him just before he went meteor leveling up around 2018/19. he was absolutely murdering the spingfield Mass MGM room, started at 1/2 and quickly went up to 2/5 right before covid hit. he then played online using the same crazy aggression to win a wsop, and a lot of circut events as well. and suddenly he was playing on the hustler live stream with 50% of his actual bankroll on the fucking table... I know he was being partially staked, but his is a trajectory most of us have seen. burn bright and die in a blaze.

I know a lot of people are convinced that hollywood tears up and throws away young actors, but there is pretty strong evidence that Amanda she developed strong symptoms of schizophrenia sometime around 2009... She would have been around 23 years old... which according to most scientists is the exact time schizophrenia starts to manifest (20-30 for females). she had to drop out of a movie production that year, finished Easy A and then had to drop out of another movie and in 2010 announced she was going on a hiatus from acting... at 24, when she was basically in her prime earning age for very experienced younger actresses. and in the next 3 years she went on what is widely described as a mental health crisis, to the point her parents had to be named her conservators. as degen gardner previously stated... true mental illness is crippling.

I am actually more pissed that in both incidents reviewed where officer road rage physically assualted an innocent civilian just to do it... in BOTH FUCKING VIDS theres another fucking cop there.... just standing there.... and that other cop never fucking filed a report against the asshole who was clearly on the downswing of a roid rage.
-
i am telling you... one of these days a psychotic asshole like that is going to fuck with the wrong kid/ friend/ group and hes gonna end up with a spent pew-pew lodged in him and its gonna result in a 5 year trial where everyone claims poor officer road rage jackass (who was literally violating 2 or 3 constitutional rights without cause), and dont forget kidnapping.... that officer jackass was a fine upstanding member of the blue line and perp #2 needs to be executed for Cap Murder because even though jackass cop was 100000% in the wrong, and literally violating every law available, hes blue line and protected..... where if the person doing that was ANYONE other than a cop, it would be justifiable self/ good Samaritan defense. and we are still gonna get a 5 year trial where all the blue line claim it was clearly premeditated murder. we need that kind of trial complete with body cam, surveillance cam and friend recording cam clearly showing the jury and the world that officer road rage jackass needed to be put down like a rabid dog. and HO LEE SHIT the consternation that will cause

i have been pretty quiet on here, been on a decent run the last 6 weeks or so and didnt want to jinx things too much. I have probably played upwards of 14 sessions and only had 1 neg session -500 where it was a 3 way pre-flop all in me AKs vs 66, vs A5o. 6 hit his set on the flop and the 5d in the A5o hand became a straight flush. lol. but well above +200 in all the other sessions. planned on playing for 2-3 hours yest. very first hand Im in CO with A6o, live $5 straddle, like 4 limpers, I bump it to $30 and get 4 actual callers. Flop is something like AQ7... they all check to me and I bet $45.... insta mucks all around. decent start... 1.5 rotations later, Im the button with KQss. there was a live double straddle, 2 more limpers, I make it $50. get 4 callers, including the BB who doesnt like to fold. flop is Ah-Jh-Td... thats nice. checks around to me, I bet out $50. the BB, 2nd straddle both call... and im thinking to myself... dealer throw out a low black card..... 3c on the turn... perfect. checks around to me again, I bet out $200 to charge the draws and after 2 mins... BB yeets it all, other guy folds. i call. he wants to run it twice... both boards end in a heart... and Im dead.... except he mucks and I get more than a full doubleup. played for another hour, no major hands, was about to leave when this lady player shows up... normally shes a drunk saturday night player who will literally call with anything or nothing on the river if the bet is reasonable enough. she is free money-until she isnt. i tell myself im not leaving till ive felted her 2 or 3 times. problem is... more than half the table knows her as well and they all had the same thought. she hung around winning and losing for the next 2 hours, im literally limping and calling anything $25 or less if she is in the pot because I know if I hit anything, im getting paid. i had like 3 or 4 hands with her where I won a pot that was +150ish to me...but those were basically cancelled out by the numerous $15-20 calls I made that didnt pan out. she is finally stacked by another player, and I have been playing for 5 hours. and i tell the guy to my right who also was trying to get into hands with her, that Im leaving in a sec. theres a live $10 straddle, guy to my right makes it $30. I look down at KxKc.... make it $70, get a call from the straddle and guy to my right. flop is Jc-2c-8x. checks to me, I bet out $175. straddle folds... guy to my right says... well.... I guess I have to be all in... ~350 and ive known him enough to know that wasnt a set talking.... so I snap call... hes got AcQc.... I offer twice.. he declines... and in a poker miracle, no club no running KT, no Ace. in for $300, out for $1440.
