  1. Explain what this means. I was under the impression it meant you weren’t eligible for federal flood insurance if you build within those boundaries not that you can’t build at all is that not the case?
  2. Don’t know much about Roman Catholic eschatology but when I was in medical school I had a patient who told me when I was taking her medical history that she had “fireball tumors in my Eucharist”

    Senate 2026

    I don’t do twitter but apparently Newsom has said if Texas redistricts Cali will too, to match the number of red districts Texas creates with new blue Cali districts
  4. THAT is how you humblebrag
  5. Well if you’re going to do that kind of shit to me I’d rather be asleep
  6. Mark Twain never said this, but there’s no amount of evidence that would persuade you of that
  7. I reject your premise that Mamdani would appoint incapable staff to important positions as well as your premise that any of the others would appoint capable staff. So the rest is moot the dark money is coalescing against him so I’m guessing my instincts that he is the best choice are correct
  8. Umm yeah..
  9. Since when is a test drive against the rules?
  10. I would but when am I going to be in Idaho?
  11. This is just good business. Whatever they spend on this type of aid to communities in dire straits brings a much greater return than an ad buy of similar cost would. I mentioned Germania up thread wrt Rita. I always keep the minimum insurance with the highest deductible on everything because shit rarely happens and I keep a pretty good cushion. They had a tent set up in a parking lot for customers to meet the adjusters, as there was no internet or landline service and cell service was mostly overloaded. I went down to submit my claim and when done the adjuster handed me a check for a thousand dollars. I said what’s this for? She said “food spoilage”. I said that’s not in my policy and she simply said “that’s OUR policy”. Been with them ever since.
  12. But they are equal neither in degree of wrongness nor in societal impact, and you seem to be trying to draw a logical equivalency
  13. Take this shit to the Sudan thread until Israel lobs some bombs over there
  14. Can you quote statistics on total number of repeat violent offenses committed by illegal residents? It’s a racist trope to scare the more moderate rubes just like migrant caravans headed for the southern border that strangely come in 2 to 4 year cycles. And don’t talk about conservative extremists: this is the mainstream republican viewpoint. Hell it is active federal government policy signed off as ok by the highest court in the land. We are with judicial consent renditioning people to countries they are not from who are known for committing torture and war crimes. Everyone should be screaming about this
  15. I dealt with them for Rita. The biggest help for us believe it or not was the Germania insurance staff who deployed to Beaumont granted, Rita was 20 years ago and Harvey almost 10, but I don’t recall hearing have a big chunk of call center employees were either terminated or had their contracts expire immediately after the events
  16. Should have done what UT did back in the day. Semester long test drives from rural dealerships
  17. One is orders of magnitude less crappy than the others. and to your point about the strong executive, which of those choices is most likely to be aware of where they need help and surround themselves with capable people rather than reward his cronies with largesse?
  18. Why are these people called settlers? They are religious fanatics
  19. This is news involving a current event. Definitely has a Texas slant. Apparently contracts for the call center staffers either canceled or not renewed in midst of crisis. Comments?
  20. I don’t think Israel has enough bombs to take on all those countries at once
  21. Wonder who usually brings things like portapotties into disaster areas
