  1. I think after you watch a bunch of your buddies die by Sergei's friends, you really don't feel bad fucking up Sergei.
  2. I completely understand all of that. However, when I drive through those places, they don't look like a cesspool of trash. The roads are in decent shape and the lane markings are not all worn off and barely visible. They are not losing billions of gallons of water to decaying water lines. Their electricity isn't failing in large swaths every time there is a wind or ice becaue there is not money to keep the trees around the lines trimmed. They aren't paying out hundreds of millions in lawsuits for stupid decisions their leader regarding airports or crime labs. They don't have a history of boodoggle, failed infrastructure projects. They don't have a history of overpaying for hotels and then letting them decay and burning tens of millions of dollar for empty hotels in the name of homelessness. The library in a vacuum is fine. Not in the face of the financial status that this city currently in. Ferraris are awesome cars, but you don't go out and buy a Ferrari while your kids are starving and you are living in a shack. But I guess the city needs to have more vanity so when the guests come to down, before they get murdered, they can stroll through some homeless camps, walk down some decaying streets and walk into our awesome library and check out an ebook to read in their hotel.
  3. That all sounds really successful.
  4. Tell us the ways you find this city to be “successful”.
  5. If that piece of property had been sold to a condo developer it would have: 1. Been an immediate cash infusion to city coffers from the sale. Maybe it could have paid for like 10% of the botched Waller creek tunnel. 2. added tax tax revenue in perpetuity instead of being a non taxed piece of property in the most expensive part of town. Maybe that added tax could fix the leaking water pipes that lost billions of gallons of water per year 3. added housing units to the shortage that you mentioned. But thankfully people have a place to check out ebooks. As to bolverk’s statement about old courthouses on the square, I doubt they would have been built if the counties were in tremendous debt, decaying infrastructure, and unbalanced budgets. Don’t try to equate those times to current day Austin.
  6. She’s been in Atlanta for a few weeks. The cops say the body was bloated and had been there for a while. Sea bass last night ain’t covering this.
  7. Great! It succeeded. Now downtown is fully revitalized and doesn't need any more support. The City can now sell that premium piece of property to a private developer build a 40 story tower that will actually contribute to the tax base, and they can use the proceeds of the sale to move to site less economically valuable. Anything left over they can just dump into more bike lanes or black hole of homeless spending.
  8. You can always tell when bozo is on his high horse when he starts accusing everyone that disagrees with him of being Todd and Bob fans.
  9. This is awfully close to Brisket's house.....
  10. If only y'all could see how shocked I am right now.
  11. This would be so much funnier if it were not rooted 100% in actual facts.
  12. He is about as aggie as they come: "I'm so glad I go to a University where the men like women and the women like men." Dan Campbell, Bonfire, 1998
  13. If they hadn't fucked up the construction of the Arbuckle reservoir in Wharton County, this rain event would have completely filled it. That reservoir indirectly relieves the water burden upstream by providing water for rice farmers and ecological needs at the Gulf downstream.
  14. wrong post You showed your tits and pussy, multiple times, to strangers at the water tank for attention.
  15. Wunderground predicted me 3" for the event, I took the over. Ended up with 3" the first day and 1.3" more for the rest of the week. I'll definitely take that. Hopefully it didn't wash away all of the rye seed I spread last week.
  16. How many dogs did he shoot?
  17. Nvm..I am still finishing my first coffee.
  18. F&^king ROFLBOX. Just can't trust the guy.* This was a joke. I have no idea who fixed Squish's roof.
  19. Apparently I undershot. Already 3.01" in the gauge.
  20. They are literally freeing people from prison due to the conditions of the crime lab that deteriorated under Acevedo to the point of abandoning it and having to pay the State to use theirs. This is unfuckingbelieveable.
  21. Holy fuck. This is literally the dumbest thing in this thread so far and that covers a LOT of ground. Pure retardation here.
  22. The daily rain amounts have changed slightly, but my forecast still shows me getting 3" between Sunday and Saturday. It also still shows a low of 23* tomorrow night.
  23. And in this particular discussion, it takes money, to take money, to make money.
  24. Normally I think that. But I think the nino is kicking in now.
  25. My wunderground forecast for NW Austin currently shows 3.02" of rain between this Sunday and next Saturday. Call your shots. Over/Under? I am feeling optimistic and will take the over. I'll be using the LCRA gauge at Bull Creek/360 for my measurements.
