    Lol…that’s exactly what most of you were “hoping” the suspect would be.

    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.

    Meaning If I were to come home to a burglarized home I want the ability to call 911 and have the police come out to investigate. Not be forced to call 311 and potentially leave a message that never gets answered. From what i've read, 311 does not mean anyone will be there eventually.

    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.

    That something that will likely become a problem everywhere. It's feels like a poor time to become a police officer. My nephew was an MP in the Marines with a plan to become one but when he got out last year he decided against it.

    Good idea on his part.  There are much better jobs available, which is why recruiting for police departments is a PITA.

    Don knows this will never happen (notice Trump did not push it through a while back when he had both chambers).

    But if it were to pass, we should start with every property that a Huffines has any business interest in.

     

    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.

    Ooni is coming for my birthday in a couple of weeks or Xmas. We plan to take advantage of the Partners Card discount at certain retailers. Sur La Table and Crate & Barrel are included. I'd kind of decided I wanted the 16-inch gas/pellet combo Ooni but neither carries that model. They have the 16-inch gas-only or the 12-inch combo. Or we could bite the bullet and not save the 20% and get the 16-inch combo Ooni at Wlliams Sonoma, which is not taking part in Partners Club card for 2021.

    Thoughts?

    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

  5. 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.

    Yeah same, but the US tickets in the apple wallet don't have a QR or bar code. At least mine don't. They say "hold near reader" like the screenshot below.

     

    Those "tap" scanners were not functional at the USWNT game so everyone had to login to ticketmaster to get the barcode which cause the line to move incredibly slowly. But yes I would hope they've worked out the kinks since that was the very first event at Q2.

     

     

    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.

  7. 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.
