    When are ya'll going? That's my HEB and there's been a dozen times in the past year when there was not a single parking spot in the entire lot...from 2222 to Tomlinson's at the far end of the shopping center.  The only HEB with worse parking is the North Lamar Central market. 

    My HEB as well.  I see the antique mall is going away, maybe they can build a parking garage there, because that HEB is always packed when we are there.  It's a part of why we do curbside (small part, but a part nonetheless).

    In theory, I'm thankful that there are still people in Houston that shop at Randall's and Kroger, because monopolies are bad. Even benevolent, Texas-centric monopolies.

    Confused, but thankful. My hat's off to you, idiots. You're really taking one for the team.

    How can you trust what you see on NextDoor or FB?  I have read a few people blame the local gas station because they have theft on their card. How in the world do you know that the gas station had a skimmer based on that limited information.

    No kidding.  I see a lot of insane shit on Nextdoor, and don't get me started on Facebook.  Nextdoor is full of far too busybodies losing their shit because a minority walked through their neighborhood, or they think that just because a park has a shit-ton of "KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEASH" signs, that it actually means it's a fucking dog park, and that somehow, in the loosely constructed realities that exist in their heads, dogs have the same rights as human children.

    Dipshit dog owners on Nextdoor like to try and put your shit on blast when you kick their dog in the head, when their 40-pound dog runs up out of nowhere at your 30-pound daughter, and they claim the dog was just friendly and wanting to play, and you point out the fucking leash sign that's 15 feet away from us and in plain view, and somebody on Nextdoor that you know tells you they are trying to put your shit on blast, and so you have to hop on there, respond that you have video from another person, as well multiple witnesses, and that you're going to talk to the police now that the dog owner identified themselves, and all of the sudden that dipshit dog owner claims it was just a misunderstanding or something.

    Whoops, sorry for the rant.

    Also, some people on Nextdoor do not like certain gas stations because they attract the wrong elements (high school kids, etc.), so yeah, I wouldn't trust them at all.

    The bottom line is that police reports are public fucking record.....supposed to be anyway.

    This.  Should be no problem with FOIA requests to local and state records that are not national security concerns.

    But it is Texas, and our state does a lot of stupid shit, and fights a lot of records requests that they shouldn't, all the while wasting taxpayer money on court costs.

    Let's hope that the City of Austin doesn't get it in their heads to stop releasing crime reports, because they don't want to harm certain touristy areas.

    Love or hate him, he’s still the president. 100% I’d shake his hand and drop a few words on him if I could. 100% I’d drop a cheek kiss in melenia too 

    "Mr President, I'd just like to say, there's a reason why it's called the popular vote, and that shitbag Hillary still beat you by 3 million votes.

    For pity's sake, do we even know Vince Vaughn's politics?  I couldn't care less that he shook Trump's hand in a box, and then bolted.  Not every situation is 100/0.  He might actually be a Trumpkin, in which case I might not attend his next great flick, which will never happen.  (Shout out to "Swingers", in which he was awesome.)

    Who knew that out of Swingers, Jon Favreau would be the one to end up decades later in the top-tier of Hollywood, and would help kick-start a 24+ movie comic book empire, and would be guiding the Star Wars franchise.

    https://www.click2houston.com/2019/09/23/heres-why-you-can-no-longer-see-locations-where-police-have-found-skimmers/

    "A new state law to crack down on skimmers just went into effect this month; but with it, consumers lost access to some valuable information. House Bill 2945 says we can no longer find out where law enforcement agencies are finding the devices that steal our credit card data."

    "Law enforcement is no longer allowed to share the names of businesses where officers found skimmers except to report the information to the AG, other law enforcement agencies, the payment fraud fusion center and any financial institution that may be impacted."

    "According to Perez’s chief of staff, lawmakers made the concession to the food and fuel lobby that represents gas stations in exchange for their support of the bill.

    When regulators like the Texas Department of Agriculture have released the names of businesses where they found skimmers in the past, the business owners say they lost customers for weeks and months afterward, even though the skimmers were removed."

    "Investigators said calling out gas stations that are also victims of the financial crime isn't always fair. They need gas stations to work with law enforcement. When owners are worried they’ll be put on blast for self-reporting devices they found, they will be less likely to do so for fear of losing business. "

    -----

    It isn't always fair to put this businesses on blast, so that people can find out if their CC may have been affected?  Fuck that.  Secure your machines and you don't have to worry about your shit getting put on blast on the evening news.

    Solid choice to barricade oneself in a concrete dam.  Doesn't get more barricaded than that.

    They are inside the wall?? 

    They have train tracks that run inside the dam, so there’s some really large, open areas in there.

    the card game was bananas. Talk about hammering a bit. 

    It’s becoming a cliche with streaming shows, but this show took about 4-5 episodes before it found its footing and was firing on all cylinders.   Children’s Hospital episodes ran 12-minutes and were usually ensemble shows, so that maybe the reason.

    where and how is that money being spent ?

    it's not going to build a wall

    Probably to a cutting-edge wall construction company based out of North Dakota, that has donated heavily to Trump's campaign.

    When the death star blows up alldaran(?), it's the cheesiest crap ever. I don't know how they could have made it better in the 70's, but it's troma level bad. 

    They really couldn't, due to gravity and how things blow up on earth, etc..   Those wireframe graphics you saw in the gunner sights were cutting edge back then.
