  1. At the same time, unbelievable amounts of water are being just flat wasted by lack of system maintenance. It's estimated that the City of Austin lost 6.9 BILLION gallons (roughly 21,175 acre feet) of potable water to leaks in 2022. I'm sure that number is increasing year over year as the system ages. Found a source from the LCRA that City of Austin and Austin Energy water pumped from the Colorado River plus other water rights was 185,548 acre feet in 2022. If those numbers are close, you are looking at over 10% loss. I freely admit that I really don't know shit about fuck except I know Austin loses a lot to leaks. I'm sure it's the same for cities everywhere and I understand that you'll never be leak-free, but at some point, this issue has to be addressed. I think very few people know/care about the extent of waste from this area alone.
  2. And just got the notification at 12:02.
  3. Has anyone had any notice of tickets mailing yet? The website says by mid-March, so just a little curious
  4. I think he and Ed Clements are pretty funny in their interactions and the way they rag on each other, but I can see where that will get old
  5. There have been numerous home games where the refs look like Big XII rejects and not in the Stars favor. They called icing on the Stars on a long dump that the Star forward was a step ahead of the defender. Of course, the Stars have taken a huge step back to the middle of the standings
  6. The flipping business is usually properties that are well below par that they can get in, make the repairs/upgrades and get out quick (carrying costs are a bitch). People that try to flip a near par/par house usually don't do very well unless they get an absolute steal on the purchase price
  7. Generally, doing any reno type work won't pay off unless the you are repairing something that is broken or very sub-standard. Of course, there are always exceptions, but it sounds like in your case, I'd just leave it as is.
  8. To further illustrate the experience of LSU The Lineup 1. Grad Student 2. Senior 3. Grad Student 4. Grad Student 5. Junior 6. Sophomore 7. Grad Student 8. Grad Student 9. Freshman And then the first inning....oooofffff
  9. Jeez. Just looked at LSU roster 6 graduate students and 2 seniors. They have to be the oldest roster in the NCAA.
  10. Trying to hold on at this point. 6-4, runners at 1 and 3, no outs
  11. I'd give her my pecker or something like that
  12. Seems like a straight up swap in regards to age and production. Damiani hasn't really progressed with respect to Dallas, maybe trying to change things up and see if Pettersen could help Dallas in a pinch?
  13. The miss on Stankoven was me. I really thought he'd have more trouble with the size/speed combo of the defenses at the next level. He seemed to struggle when teams got physical with him while in Cedar Park (Texas really feasted off of the early season crappy teams, so it didn't happen often). He was able to skate away from some of it, but I thought he'd have trouble finding the space with the "big boys." Turns out, not so much and glad to be wrong. With him gone, Bourque's production has dropped off a cliff...same could be said for the rest of the team though as well
  14. Great pellet grill. Just make sure the heat plate is in correctly when you break it in. Mine was delivered with the plate upside down (edges should tilt up) and I didn't realize it. Could not figure out why the temperatures were so out of whack. Customer support got me straightened out quickly and I'm sure with much snickering after I hung up.
  15. The comments link to a story that it was a woman and she died
  16. I would suggest a hybrid bermuda as opposed to straight bermuda. The drawback is that many don't grow via seed, so you have to sod them, which you've already seen the price. They tend to be more traffic and drought tolerant (at least according to what I read on the internet). I have TexTurf 10 and watered once a week during the drought. The yard was finally starting to brown when the heat broke and I mow it fairly short with a powered reel mower.
  17. I'm very far from an art afficionado, so I'll have to ask for some help with the subtleties of a master Does it say "snot"?
  18. Stankoven and Pouliot sent back to Texas. Sorry old news. Didn't see it on the Texas Stars page last night.
  19. Stankoven isn't in the Texas lineup tonight
  20. I got four tickets to the practice rounds Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then plans change. I'll make a really good deal if someone is interested.
  21. The series is okay, nowhere near the same ballpark as Narcos. It could be that the story isn't as compelling, but even with that, I don't think it's done as well. I think they tried to compress everything into 6 episodes and it seems like the story jumped around too much.
