  1. well, that and the sea snek has venom... kinda tells you the snek won... even if it lost
  2. no asshole I dont have a pool here in Austin. I give a fuck because ive now heard about the issue 3 times in less than 5 weeks, and maybe because this is a Longhorn site based out of Austin with a fuckload of Austin residents who live here. Aand its a problem that is being described as possibly "thousands" of central Texas pools that might be impacted Its fucking relevenant to folks who might be looking at buying a home with a pool, especially since the house buying season started about 6 weeks ago.
  3. This was the first story that I heard of the problem its a courtroom recording from a WilCo lawsuit. I cant tell you when or where, but I am almost positive the phrase "gunite" being used multiple times as the two defendants tried to claim they didnt need to fix the issue
  4. because they are obviously run by former Greeks.
  5. that bunker cam is gonna end up sandblasted
  6. so is @Brisketexan definition: internet typer posting long superfluous stories
  7. Obviously most of the folks impacted by this have already recognized the problem, and maybe a few surlyites are suing everyone. But consider this a FYI for the rest of us who might want to keep this in mind if you are buying a home over the next 5 years or so that comes with a pool This KVUE article today is the 3rd story I have read in the last 5 weeks about this issue that basically popped up all around the Austin area but seems to so far only be limited to newer pool builds. going as far back as 2017, but really becoming prominent since 2019 The super short version of the problem is it looks like many of the custom pool builders (including a lot of the previously higher-reviewed and longer in business companies) were somehow using concrete missing a key ingredient needed if concrete is going to be in contact with water. to me the internet layman, it sounds like the concrete providers either skipped adding the key ingredient to save money, or some idiot manager got lazy and used a generic concrete mixture on most pool concrete orders.
  8. its really aggravating that every fucking time we lose to these assholes they and their fans become even more insufferable than they already were.
  9. I skipped going to the game today because I didnt feel great... now I feel worse.
  10. i watched this in Gatesville. we had a lot of clouds with some breaks allowing me to use the glasses to see the chunk being taken out. about 30 seconds before full totality we had very light clouds and then for the first 50 seconds or so of totality we had full view. heavier clouds came in for the last 3 mins or so, but seeing how dark it got was pretty cool didnt hear ANY of the animals doing anything special. maybe because the cloud cover was so strong. very cool and very cool seeing the corona with the naked eye 9/10... fucking clouds kept it from being an 11/10
  11. you say this like we somehow had a fucking advantage with Big 12 refs the last 10 years? i mean holy shit, esp these last 3 years we've been fucked without concent or lube more often than a female Baylor athlete we MIGHT have gotten slightly favorable reffing in our 2000s heyday, but that ship sailed LOOONNNG ago. and the last 3 years since the announcement have been a clinic in how to get fucked by the refs. Saban-less Bama aint getting the same calls they got with him, and considering we havent seen anything close to unbiased reffing in 15 years, even it its SLIGHLY in the other DEC teams favor, that still gives us a much better chance than we've had
  12. not sure if anyone actually looked, but that account the GRU looney was using today had been set up back in 2021. I was going to report the post because it sounded like him, but then saw that the account had been established back in 2021. and I thought, na, theres no way he kept that account quiet until now...... I mean holy fuck, that lunatic has clearly set up numerous login names and obviously has a list of them somewhere, and just brings them out after each new one is banned. Thats a level of crazy that is actually worrisome.
  13. this is the kind of shit that's going to drive security services- like the secret service, absolutely bonkers. I can easily envision someone doing this with an even lighter version, have it take off at one of the numerous municipal airports within 25 miles of DC, where they pre-scout a path they can program into the controls to allow the plane to not have to climb above 45/50 feet going around larger trees or buildings and then enter DC airspace proper going after .... one of the larger targets there. even with anti-air missiles, its gonna be tough as fuck for radar to see it, 911 is going to have a hard time giving the SecServ or Park Police any advance warning, and then the agents on the ground have to look at shooting down a large drone coming for them directly over highly traveled portions of the city. where even if the damn thing is blown up in the air, it would cause a large enough explosion to damage all kinds of stuff near it... and if they just succeed in taking it down, when it hits the ground 200Lbs of HE leaves a pretty big fucking crater. or it hits a big building with even more people in it and does its intended terror job.
  14. @Brisketexan warned us a while ago that the cops were being taught to consider anyone not in blue to always be an immediate threat to their lives. turns out a fucking group of FIRED/DISOWNED/DISGRACED ex-cops have been hosting paid training seminars for years where they were supposed to help train via seminars with hundreds, if not thousands of cops in attendance (each one being paid out of each departments taxpayer supplied yearly training funds).... where these cops were taught how to be a "street cop" and supposedly handle future altercations with the public. Now, what could possibly go wrong with a seminar led by roided-up, full-of-themselves, former fired cops with a chip on their shoulder teaching active cops how to handle surviving in the urban apocalypse of post-covid roving gangs looking to kill any cop at any time at any minute???.... gotta keep your head on a swivel if you want to survive COPPER!!!!!!!! so yeah, turns out other than paying $699 per cop per seminar, the cops were ACTIVELY taught how to just ignore probable cause pullovers, how to treat women "bitches and hoes" with complete distain, brag about their 3 inch penis' and basically brag about how they dont like when their orders are ignored and to just go ahead and start shooting.... these idiots filmed the seminars, and somehow the Comptroller of New Jersey recently got ahold of them and had to de-certify every NJ cop who had ever attended any of these seminars....
  15. hell at this point a M60 tank (went active service in '59) would give Russia a serious run for their money right now. Russia only have a hyper limited number of main battle tanks larger than the T72 left, we've seen the T55s being put back into service. The M60 went head-to-head against the T62 in the Yom Kippur war in '73, and came out signficantly ahead. as of right now Russia doesnt have a single active APC that has a gun large enough to take out a M60 (although RPG, or anti tank weapons would).
  16. we had better come out of this with anti-drone targeting technology, basically a large auto shotgun with roughly 150-200 foot effective range. plus of course some variation of radio wave blockers to make a radius of roughly 400 feet where drone radio waves are blocked.
  17. sooo does this guy get to mark the "twins" box off his bucket list? i mean technically yes... but maybe no.
  18. I appreciate the details on the kickoffs and how it will help. My post was more about why they really need to do the 4th and 20 from their own 20 yard line option as an alternative to the now, basically useless onside kick. first off starting at the 20 means even if the kickoff team get the 20 yards, they are most likely still starting the next drive on their side of the field, which is exactly what happened on an onsite recovery around the 45 yard line. and 2nd, because the stats say that even at 4th and 15, teams are converting at basically 2-in-9 tries. 4th and 20 puts them more in the 1-in-9 conversion level. which again, is much closer to the pre-2018 rule change numbers. its supposed to be hard, unlikely even because even after getting the onside, the recovery team still has to go 15-55 yards in a very short period to tie or win. but right now, with only a 5% chance just to recover the onside, that means you only have like a 2.5% chance to win with 2 scores needed under a min. the old way you had more like a 5% chance. meaning the 2 score comeback under 1 min happened like 2-3 times a year.
  19. I was thinking more like 4th and 20. because 4th and 15 conversion rates are ~22% ... however over 4th and 15 combined is 13.5% its "doable" but its supposed to be a ~10% success rate. The old onside rate was ~13.5 (that included the surprise kicks). its basically down to it working maybe 2-3 times a year now anyway. Just 2 successful last year out of 40 attempts.
  20. at this point with all the laws russia has broken i dont understand why we dont scrub a tomahawk missile of american writing on it, and fucking launch 50 of them from ukraine to blow up every fucking russian base within 1,000km of the border its not like they can stop them, nor can they even see them, and we can just announce afterwards, oh yeah, we gave the ukr's those yesterday. ooops
  21. I realize its monday morning quarterbacking, but why didnt the two main spans have "deflection" piers in front and behind each one? I mean, thats pretty damn common in bridges that have lots of large marine traffic going under them. big massive concrete piers planted in front of the main span holders are designed to stop (or severely slow down) an out-of-control ship... usually to the ships detriment.
