    Nope. I’m saving my bullets. I’m not a quitter. I just realize that the normal paths offer no hope of success.

    And that’s fair.

    Also, I’ve pissed on a carpet, back in my college drinking days.

    probably better than doing your business in the fire place.

    Here's what I do, and it seems to work every time...

     

    1. Take photo of food with iPhone camera.

    2. Open Tapa.

    3. Find thread in which to place food pron. 

    4. Click on the "+" when replying, and then the "picture" symbol.

    5. Find desired pron in photo library

     6. Select "Best."

    7. Profit?

    does tapa scrub the metadata (e.g., gps data)?

  3.  

    At what point do releases from mansfield overwhelm the capacity of the downstream dams to pass through.  In other words, when do they start putting Lake Austin and Townlake's shit on blast. 

  4. Lake Travis is expected to rise to 705 to 710 feet msl by Friday, Oct. 19.  No changes to current gate operations are planned at Mansfield Dam at this time.  Forecasts for Lake Travis may rise with additional rainfall, upstream or downstream of Mansfield Dam.

     

    From the LCRA op report that was referenced earlier. They also point out that rain basically anywhere, upstream or down, is going to have potential impacts.

    LT expected to rise between 705 and 710 by Friday. This will be Christmas 1991 flood territory. 

    Where are you seeing this projection. If that is true, one more strong rain event into any of the basins and we could threaten the spillway.

    Did Cruz just tell a story about prioritizing corporate tax cuts over being at his daughter’s game as an example of him doing something that had nothing to do with politics that was clearly intended to show him as a loving family man?

    Never trust Erdogan but I’m not sure what his significance would be in this.

    You are asking what the potential role of Erdogan is in a situation playing out in the Saudi consulate in Turkey where the narrative of what took place is being crafted by the Turkish intelligence agency? 

    To be clear, I don't see any reason to disbelieve the Turkish intelligence.  I don't think they would be making strong moves like they are without ironclad evidence. But I do think that we should question their angle here and be alert.

    For those with the Ecobee and the remote sensors, I have a question.  Here's the situation.  My water pump and storage tank (I'm on a well) is underneath the house in a crawl space.  It is heated by a space heater (not the best solution, but it's worked for 30+ years from the original owner to me - I'll come up with a better solution when we remodel in a couple years).  Can I put one of the remote sensors down there just to monitor the temp?  I don't want the Ecobee to try and heat the remote sensor because it will never be able to.  I just want to monitor the temp down there to make sure shit isn't freezing up.  Will that work, or will the Ecobee always try to stabilize the temp of the remote sensor?

    You can program each sensors level of participation in the various thermostat settings. For example, I only use the sensors in the bed rooms at night, and the various other sensors in game room, kitchen, office don't contribute data.
