Austin FC
Hines is not a smart defender. One Seattle chance he ran back head down past the other 2 defenders to keep Seattle on side. Just dumb. First yellow was because he had a bone headed giveaway. Bleh. The team looks uninterested and uninspired.

Roofing (truss actually) Question
Not an engineer but have repaired enough framing to tell you what the engineer would likely say. SYP lumber of same dimensions, each side of the chord of the truss. Glue generously with construction adhesive, and as I assume you don’t have a framing nailer, screw 2 rows of 4” structural screws alternating sides 6 inches on center. I prefer Grk https://www.homedepot.com/p/GRK-Fasteners-10-x-4-in-R4-Self-Countersinking-Flat-Head-Multi-Purpose-Screw-50-per-Pack-103141/203525231 congrats, it’s now way fucking stronger than it was originally.

WTF! Eating Freshwater fish equal to drinking a month's worth of water laced with PFOS
It’s not that we can only have them if they’re poisonous. It’s that over and over again we’ve chosen the most convenient and/or cost effective option over all else. is cast iron or steel cookware as idiot proof for eggs as Teflon? No. Is it absolutely worth it for a whole host of reasons? Yes. Plastics and health just ultimately end up being a result of short term thinking.

Convenience and cost. But you knew that.

USMNT 2024
This is the most disjointed performance we’ve had in a long time. Guys have no idea where anyone is going or where the space is. Can we fire gerg already

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I’m a few beers deep, but this is the type of thinking that has typified democratic policy my whole life. I hope he gets up at the next debate and tells trump to fuck off. Don’t be scared. besides that, if he steps aside the dems lose. Who else beats trump? The best president of the last 50 years or an unknown. For a smart guy I don’t fucking get this take at all.

Blastfurnace 2024
I ran last night at 9pm and it didn't make a shit. The asphalt was just radiating heat. Looks like 5am is the only option until November.

Plastic waste in the environment
I saw some study that said a massive percentage of ocean based microplastics are essentially paint fragments. It made sense to me seeing as modern latex paints are essentially plastic coatings, but in a quick google I can’t find what I’d consider a reputable source to confirm/deny. Everything seems to point back to one study by some euros.

2024 Rain Thread: All Your El Nino Are Belong to Us
Seems like I’ve said some version of that so many times the last few years. Why has that project taken so long?

My grass has given up already. Last week it looked healthy. This week it looks like it could die tomorrow.

[News/Updates] Mass Shooting at Robb Elementary Uvalde - 5/24/2022
Tribute videos ring a little hollow when we’ve done jack shit as a society to enact change. Honestly it seems disrespectful.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
I mean, the kid down the street from me that murdered a dude back in 2015 got 20 but is up for parole this year. 1st degree. Seems like Austin has always sucked, Garza is just continuing the trend.

ERCOT Urging For Energy Conservation
It’s expensive after the fact. Every utility is. Planned in advance it’s cheaper and safer. Unless someone can prove me wrong I’ll continue to believe this is a direct result of kicking the can down the road, and being unwilling to invest for the future.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
I mean, I would consider this a win at my house.

The Kids (Aren't) Alright - World Happiness Report
Previous generations used existential threats as motivation for positive change. My hope is that current generations do too. To you other point: I saw this quote in the home insurance thread in CYHMWT recently and it really hit home:

Austin FC
Yep. I watch only in person, and half the games due to sharing seats. When games were on over the air, I watched the vast majority. If it were ESPN or something easy, would be the same. Apple TV even with our subscription with season tickets sucks. It’s just a pita.

We wouldn’t do this. Do you really think other countries would? I think if we don’t lead the way things fall apart.- For the WWII Nerds - Best admirals voted by panel of peers in 1942
Having been in New Zealand on Anzac Day, it’s really something. We caught a rugby match that day and the pregame ceremony was incredibly somber. Pretty stark contrast to here and Memorial Day.- ERCOT, PUC, and deregulation got us here
