  1. There's apparently a bunch of 'em attacking Erdogan, too. These are not those.
  2. Elon just deleted his original grok tweet.
  3. Fuck this shit - I can't tell for sure but it looks like there is no Rad_Reflections account - or else the user deleted it.
  4. https://xcancel.com/grok/status/1942676908896051354 Grok:
  5. Thanks ... so Grok didn't post that?
  6. I have no idea who the person referenced is but somehow the floods are turning discussion on xitter towards friending Hitler. Apparently.
  7. If there's a next time I'll have to remember to order it without mayo. However, the bun seemed under-baked and I'm not a fan of shredded lettuce on a burger. Also the cheese needed a lot more melt. InnOut's about 25 minutes from my house but I think I'd go there before hitting Culver's again even though it's 5 minutes away.
  8. https://archive.is/t1mGB spotted at the Parthenon T+1 days
  9. The spice level wasn't bad. The problem is they use white meat. In my defense I'm in Fort Collins so choices are very limited and Culver's was on my home and there was a valpak coupon. I should've know though...their burgers suck too.
  10. There's also the people on medicare who later have to go on medicaid because they need to go to a nursing home or similar, and medicaid is what pays for that. I have no idea what will happen to those people. A good friend just put her father in a nursing home that accepts medicaid...I expect if he's still alive when these changes go into effect he'll either become homeless or live with her in her smallish apartment.
  11. My last stop at a McD's was about 8 months ago and they had a buy one get one free for the QPs. So I used a hack I've heard about. Got two with the sauce on the side and made my own double. It was alright. I've heard good things about their spicy chicken sandwich. Haven't tried. I did hit up Culver's to try out their new spicy ckn sand and it was not good. White meat chicken with the texture of a stack of wet paper.
  12. You'll be horrified to learn that the losses were acceptable. To some.
  13. There may be reason for concern.
  14. This is also news - it's not just more frequent storms, and more water in the atmosphere to be aware of, but the “trapping” effect that causes weather such as heat domes or rainstorms to remain over one region is becoming more frequent. Further, the current-generation climate models do not do a good job in capturing this phenomenon.
  15. The CNN article, which mentioned how other counties were interacting with NWS on the night of the floods and requesting additional information but that Kerr County was totally radio silent, seems especially damning. The county officials were likely all drunk or fast asleep.
  16. from the comments to that article - thought these 2 were interesting
  17. https://www.thehandbasket.co/p/fema-response-deadly-texas-floods-delayed-deficient-noem
  18. I know (okay I don't know for surrrrre) that you're being sarcastic but I thought I posted it to CR. Oh well. #toomanythreads
  19. A reminder that Kristy Gnome sucked even when she wasn't shooting puppies in SD
  20. A mostly worthless opinion column by a posturing Michael Bloomberg illustrates that even one aggy knows what's up https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2025-07-08/michael-bloomberg-texas-floods-made-worse-by-climate-denialism
  21. Ominous excerpt from the 2016 Monthly article about the Wimberley flood https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/when-the-river-rises/
