  1. Rain: Blouses.
  2. Don't do this to yourself.
  3. You know they are doing something fishy with the money if they are trying not to report it. They have NEVER not wanted to report more income "than tha sips". Its gotta be the recruiting slush fund.
  4. I don't give a shit if fans do the horns down, but players on the field should not be doing it during the event being played, especially in cases where a Texas player giving a Horns up gets called as taunting.
  5. My favorite thing I learned during this war is that Medvedev is only 5'4". Of course he is! Putin had to find a lackey/sidekick that was shorter than him and that is no easy task when he himself is only 5'6".
  6. And College Station. And Lubbock.
  7. If Putin is dead, doesn't that simply mean that Medvedev takes over? He's talking more trash about using nukes than Putin.
  8. It also scares other russians from doing the same. Truly bizarre that they would release that.
  9. If the only other option is to shut down the city of Phoenix or Austin or San Diego because there is simply not enough water for them to operate, the consumers can shriek all day, but they will pay the costs required.
  10. I don't feel like that is an apt comparison. The water that would be moved is flood water and there would be no cost extracting it from the ground, or paying mineral rights.
  11. This is kinda my point, along with what phd said; at some point, the cost of NOT doing it will outweigh the cost of doing it. I never claimed it would be cheap or easy, but at some point it will become necessary for places like San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Austin to survive. If you can do this with oil/NG, you can do it with water cheaper and with fewer safety requirements and public dispute. The people that need the water will eventually be forced to pay the cost of it. Just think how much impact would be felt by building a 600 starter line from Arkansas over to Central and West Texas.
  12. Couldn't you just pump from Oregon down to SoCal?
  13. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/21/climate/rain-drought-pipeline.html
  14. You don't have to connect every river to every river. Just connections between basins. That is the biggest obstacle. Well...them and the water rights lawyers. IKR?? While it is true that most land is uphill from the ocean, the areas of this country that get more rain are typically uphill from the places that don't get enough water.
  15. Seems like this Country could figure out a way to create a network of pipes/canals, similar to the interstate system, that could move water from areas that are flooding to areas that are in drought. It doesn't seem that it would be cost prohibitive in relation to the value it would bring. Especially since it any given time we have plenty of areas that are in drought and plenty in flood and the costs to mitigate droughts and massive fires is so high. If we can land shit on the moon, it seems like moving water should be easy.
  16. I always get whatever their gin and tonic made with Empress gin is. I think it’s called Mumbai Nights. Edit: And don’t pass on the jalapeño, cream cheese stuffed naan.
  17. That should really help them get the sanctions lifted quicker and garner them more global support....
  18. Normally I would agree and scoff at a prediction like this. However, in this particular case it is far more likely due to the fact that I have a Golf trip scheduled in Houston that Friday through Sunday.
  19. Shouldn't "Frank" be capitalized in this sentence?
  20. Blue Bell can/has feasibly fixed their listeria problem. Blue still intentionally uses high fructose corn syrup as a cost savings measure, while Creamy Creations uses cane sugar. If you do a legit blind taste test between the two, I suspect Creamy Creations wins and there is less chance you will die. I agree with whomever said the worst part of Buccee's is the people shopping there. I think it is also impossible to walk out of that store without dropping at least $50. There's damn near that much just between the jerky counter and the fudge table.
  21. Has there been any mention of how much actual territorial gain the Russians have made? Like how much actual square mileage? 100+ days in, over 30k dead soldiers, 600 officers, 800 tanks, countless APCs, the Flagship of the Black Sea. That seems like a stupid price to pay for barely gaining any new ground. Good work Putin. Keep it up!
  22. The streets in my neighborhood (Bull Creek/36) were damp this morning at 5:45 when I left the house. The area around 360/183 looked like it had received a pretty substantial shower. Hydromet don't show a trace of either receiving any rain.
