  1. Actually I think there’s a good many people that were hoping this wasn’t an example of people being extra shitty towards others, and was just one person that wasn’t in their right mind.
  2. Shiiiit, at some point someone on this or the other site posted a strategy to do it grid scale on the highland lakes or similar. That would be something.
  3. The stats on solved property crimes that don't involve hugely expensive items are abysmal, and always have been. If you have a Ferrari stolen, someone will be out because they have a higher chance of being able to solve the case. Golf clubs or tools out of an open garage? Maybe if they're dumb enough to pawn it down the street. Small jewelry that the thief is willing to drive to Houston to fence? Forget about it. This has always been the case and will always be the case. If your stuff is valuable enough to you insure it, or bolt a safe to your floor, or have a security system with a siren loud enough to wake the dead. The police aren't supposed to prevent property crime by solving every case as a deterrent. Good idea on his part. There are much better jobs available, which is why recruiting for police departments is a PITA.
  4. Can you imagine how expensive construction labor would become, overnight? Food service? It would be a rude awakening for the vast majority of people in this state. It's a problem for sure but I would guess his audience has no idea of the consequences.
  5. I have the Pro which is a discontinued (I think) dual fuel. Wife bought it for an anniversary present bc she thought I'd love a wood fired pizza oven. I've never used anything other than the gas. FWIW I have 2 young kids so don't have the time for a stick burner or komado style smoker either. I prefer charcoal to gas, but we grill 3-4 times per week on a propane Weber because it's convenient. YMMV

    Yeah the passing out of the back has taken a serious nosedive since besler has been out. It really restricts our ability to move the ball forward quickly and teams generally can get into a decent defensive shape before we’re anywhere threatening with the ball. So much of our offense has been from unexpected turnovers in the middle third.
  7. If they make it back to the US CPS should meet them at the plane.

    I emailed our season ticket rep for AustinFC about this and his response was "The ticketing is all done through US Soccer and Ticketmaster. There will be ticket reps at Ticket HQ assisting at the stadium if you need help, but there are no barcodes.". I don't have a ton of faith this is going to go well.
  9. I always joked with my more conservative family at Thanksgiving about Leslie running for Mayor. To Supertroopers, those shenanigans were fun. This just seems cruel and tragic.

    Dang that's harsh.

    What’s the skinny on the different supporters groups and pregame bars for Thursday? I’m not caught up on who’s who
  12. Currently sipping on https://www.banhezmezcal.com/ensemble as it was a gift. Is this a good example of a sipper or something more experienced folks would use for cocktails?
  13. I don’t have a problem with cops not going to take a report about somebody’s bike being stolen off their front porch in the middle of the night. It’s not like anything ever came of that kind of thing anyway. Wouldn’t cops be happier not getting bogged down with bullshit?
  14. Dude the avalanche has started. The time to stop it has passed. Titty pics, cam whoring, and dumbass behavior aren't going to cost a political figure enough these days to make her go away. She'll go as far or as short as she and her handlers can muster. I'm with you though.

    Best played game of the season?
  16. @Anastasis what’s the cliffs notes version of the low heat trick. My Google fu isn’t working
  17. Damn. We had talked about taking the kids before they were gone. Tragedy is an understatement if those groves are destroyed.
  18. Looks like it's a petroleum based solvent, so soap and water should be fine. TSP would also work.
  19. I dunno, I personally enjoy the hilarity that ensues after crop-dusting my significant other. One of life's little pleasures.

    We need different guys on the back line, particularly in the center. 3 (I’m not going to learn his name) and cascante are both too slow, can’t tackle, and can’t pass.

    Tough sledding tonight. Everything looks really hard.
  22. There are a few qualifiers like you can't be committing a crime on most term policies. Pretty sure if it was proven you paid someone to shoot you the insurance company wouldn't pay out.
  23. I think we might finally be paying teachers a bit more after all this bullshit is done.
