  1. I don't hate black olives on top of a seven layer dip...but that's about it.
  2. Are you telling me we shouldn't straight up salt the earth of Oklahoma, and several other places on general principle? Sure the Great Salt Lakes have room. If you want a serious answer, I'm no expert, but lots of that waste can be turned into useful chemicals, and minerals removed and used. Improving that is part of the process of investing in more plants, so it becomes more efficient and science learns to utilize these things better. Another cynical answer is you just toss it back into the sea and it will naturally counteract all the freshwater we're losing thanks to melted ice caps.
  3. Shit, do you know how fucking over the moon I'd be if someone, anyone, would just invest in desalinization plants in general, to make the technology get to affordable? And if it happened here in Texas, the first fucking thing I'd do isn't send it to Colorado, it's send it to fucking Texas which has no fucking water. Or central lakes.
  4. Until it doesn't. You can literally watch other nations seeking to actively chip away at that status, and we sit around and do nothing.
  5. Careful now, US House Members literally believe we control the weather "It's called cloud-seeding, do your own research!"
  6. She's representing the popular views of the entire Republican Party of the state of Texas, she's gerrymandered into a Ruby Red district in the Texas Hill Country, and she will always be re-elected. If she's not, someone further right will have pushed her out of office. You're yelling into the abyss, no one in power in Texas actually cares about the needs of it's citizens.
  7. Too soon, that fucking tool.
  8. "Excuse me, see here sir, I'm going to have to explain to you why what was obviously a joke rooted in some basis of an actual sociological phenomena wasn't perfectly expressed to my rigorous academic satisfaction, and I'm going to point it out so everyone can point and laugh and I can revel in my intellectual superiority," -pushes taped together glasses back up the bridge of his nose, gives a high pitched, nasal wheeze, then begins refreshing his browser awaiting the inevitable onslaught of positive rep points, one hand suspiciously in his pocket. You fucking pedantic jerkoff.
  9. Vindication.
  10. The problem isn't a level playing field, even. We'll win a level playing field. We have Austin, corporate NIL, etc. But there will never be a level playing field.
  11. I've met our old donors. We'll see.
  12. Yes, that’s my point. The concern is we’ll just go back into the world of playing with one hand tied behind our back. And scum fucks like tuberville know to publicly point to Texas, because it works and we don’t do shit about it.
  13. This is what I get for trying to squeeze in a post while they’re lowering me into a dentist’s chair.
  14. The problem is his opinion will be the general consensus. He si by les out Texas. Not Ohio State, who cheated for decades AND now has a massive NIL war chest. Not Oregon. Texas. And it will be the narrative.
  15. Or not. Not might be good.
  16. There is a sociological phenomena known as the Bystander Effect. It’s where people witnessing horrific things are en masse powerless to break the spell and do something. So they sit and watch. It was taught to me at school with the case of a man beating a woman to death on a bridge while something like 70 people looked on and did nothing. This was like that.
  17. Still one of the most horrifying things I've witnessed in my life. Just casually grabbing the table's bowl of queso, calmly pouring into a table's bowl of salsa, slowly and methodically like pouring cream into a coffee, without even pausing his conversation, and then using his finger to slowly stir it together. His finger. On a table littered with silverware. While he mocked the notion that Texas would need more than 20k in NIL funds. It was like watching Brando do a Col. Kurtz monologue. I just can't.
  18. My old man would occasionally crush up a ton of saltines into a bowl, and then pour syrup over it, and mix it. Then eat it with a fork or spoon. The sweet and salty is was surprisingly good.
  19. I see you haven't met Burnt Orange & White...
  20. This place? https://hcicehouse.com/ The web developer and general tech guy didn't include the website? What is this world coming to?
