  1. i have been slow to come around to this idea, but it does explain why they run away and flee when confronted rather than counter-attack real ice look like real ice and stand their ground - real ice would have stopped those vehicles and violently detained the brick throwers the death of a j6 henchman and the recovery of his remains by anyone other than ice or the regime would result in the name of the dead henchmen being made public, and thus the use of j6 'best people' for the kidnappings cnn is playing along with "unbadged henchmen = ice" but it will not be possible to continue the charade if one of them goes down
  2. i just hope the mystic dads have had a call and reached agreement on coordinated action after the mourning is over that presser was the most disgusting, vile thing i've seen in this state in my life
  3. psa: the reddit video was taken at this location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qY8y72cXMfbmbUHu5 the timelapse video was taken here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jT183eKSBydAGbWi6 it's the llano river crossing of RM3404 in kingsland 70ish miles northeast of the guadalupe
  4. one of the cbs articles i posted this morning says the mystic survivors have told their parents the bubble inn flooding started between 2am and 3am the mystic girls that perished were dead by 3am the timeline reconstruction is pointless and damning what happened in kerr county or kerrville city government before 3am? nothing
  5. the minutes for the december 2016 meeting where they discuss the $1m funds already approved by obama - that's the tell any journalist doing a deep dive has to start there, chase down everyone who was in the room and ask the same question: you had a million dollars approved for sirens - who owned the paperwork to get that money - is there a written record of the decision not to take the money before the 20jan17 deadline - if there is no written record of this decision - do you know who took the decision, when and why? offer to take the responses off the record - eventually guilt or the fear of being hung out to dry will cause someone to crack and spill the tea
  6. it won't take that long the template for a color-by-number indictment is already out there it was published on 2 may 2000 the conclusions of an in-depth report should read something like this: +++ How do the failed barriers fit together? The 2025 atrocity is neither a 2025 problem, nor a 2025 camp/citizen/tourist problem, nor a 2025 State/County/City government problem. It is instead a true example of an organizational accident with causes that existed for some time before the event. While no one person is responsible for the atrocity, the aggregate effect of actions and decisions by government officials and those they serve, over many years, created the physical conditions that made the atrocity possible. For the current State, County and Local governments, Guadalupe Flooding was, and is, an institution. And leaders do not change institutions unless there is a clearly perceived need for change. Guadalupe Flooding has grown from isolated events lost in institutional memories trapped in time into an atrocity with massive loss of life. From just a dozen deaths to hundreds. From the occasional high-water cleanup to a 100-year event every 10 years. For Guadalupe Flooding, the State, County and Local government’s role was to ensure that controls were in place so that if and when a flood occurred, the results would be non-consequential. But as Guadalupe Flooding has grown in frequency and intensity, the actions and decisions by government officials, taken or not taken, to prevent the flooding, have remained the same. The State of Texas, Kerr County and the City of Kerrville do not have a proactive risk management approach for Guadalupe Flooding. As a result, behavioral and safety problems never prompted past or present administrations to reassess Guadalupe Flooding risk to campers, citizens and tourists. The State of Texas, Kerr County and the City of Kerrville have a culture that instills bias and tunnel vision in decision making. No one in the current or past administrations ever interpreted ongoing behavioral problems as indications that Guadalupe Flooding risk mitigation was beyond the capabilities of past or present administrations. There was no appropriate plan, policy or program to mitigate the risk of Guadalupe Flooding. Instead, important design details were communicated through an oral tradition. As a result, Guadalupe Flooding risk mitigation was never undertaken the same way twice, even though the accepted basis for risk mitigation was “we have always done it this way, and it has always worked.” Thus, changes made in the absence of a sound risk mitigation strategy reduced critical margins of safety. Kerr County and City of Kerrville leaders were the sole design authority for Guadalupe Flooding risk mitigation. Yet they did not have the knowledge or skills necessary to identify and correct structural and institutional deficiencies of the type that caused the 2025 atrocity. Though its individual components are complex, the central message is clear. The atrocity was about physical failures driven by organizational failures, the origins of which span decades. No single factor caused the atrocity, just as no single change will ensure that a tragedy like this never happens again.

  8. the fyre mail and social lists are worth 10m no way you are bagging that for 100k
  9. dude, i'm just making suggestions to make life livable for imma "that type of thinking" didn't create the echo chambers but that's another argument you don't like my idea, fine i look forward to hearing your solution otherwise, close dt & cr no news no politics keep everything else
  10. i like the proposal of being able to post only in one forum or the other
  11. nothing in the mission statement about that - the alternate facts crowd will not stay in 'their' forum if you do that - your still trying to win a war that neither side is going to win
  12. and by calling questioners losers he insulted the surviving family of all of the victims and he's going to get himself slapped by one of the mystic moms if he dares try to glom on to their mourning events
  13. i remember dps having beepers that were part of the forest service fire alert system before aggy bought it - this would have been 30ish years ago
  14. we have reached the point where a single reality is unrecoverable we are at the point where waging war for a single truth-fact-based reality is jeopardizing the existence of a football board that we all love if it were my board i would wipe out everything except sports and call it a day
  15. my dungeons and dragons alignment is True Neutral, dead center, so let me try to mediate this shitstorm with a proposal: 1. the forum titles of Daily Texan and Cloak Room and the ostensible purpose of each forum, as named and so defined 19 years ago (!) no longer accurately represent the content posted therein 2. rename them, left/right, red/blue, maybe run a mod thread stickied to the top of each forum asking for nominations of the new name for that forum, then run a poll 3. those on the left upset that DT allows alternative facts news will drop their crusade and accept the double standard - the 'right' gets their forum, the 'left' gets theirs, and there is no longer any attempt to bifurcate "news" and "politics"
  16. i used to be almost exclusively a DT poster but had to move over to CR when the rona started i used to think the issue didn't exist despite what i had been told, but i have now seen enough evidence of it, and the 'invisible dot' is apropos it is most evident to me in situations where there are 2 or more threads spanning both DT and CR imma is trying to enforce something that defies logic and language so i feel empathy for him and understand when he blows a gasket @Dbeasy please go back one page and read my posts #1130 and #1131 and reply with your take on imma's assertion that 1 of those 2 posts is what imma says they are, i.e. which one of them is opinion:
  17. the out-to-prove something was '94 the gold standard for the nats was 2009 they care plenty but the juju hasn't been right since juergen was fired even for the big 5 bad juju tanks 1 of 3 full international tournaments
  18. the roster size is fixed for full international tournaments neither of them played 6 or 7 games a month for 22 months
  19. invisible dot holla
  20. or is this one: his last post prior to those i cited above was 20 hours ago and not related to the above 2 posts
  21. is this the captainant post you are referencing?:
  22. at a national/federal level this dichotomy allows dembiden vilification and so be it... but in Texas, where republicans control 100% of the government and have for 3 decades, the 2 categories are exactly the same thing i feel like HAL in 2001 +++ cnn just aired a NEWS CONFERENCE from kerrville where the kerr county sheriff said he didn't find out about the flood until 911 calls started coming between 4-5am, and when pressed said he can't give a timeliine and right now his only purpose is recovery and remains etc. this was followed with a vacationer interviewed who said he didn't receive any advanced warning but at 245am the water was getting in to the house he was staying in
  23. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/07/us/texas-floods-warning-system-invs Behind the scenes, NWS officials were communicating with local emergency managers in the affected region over an internal messaging platform. Typically, the media is expected to treat messages from this platform as off-the-record, but a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration official granted CNN permission to report general information about the Texas disaster from the platform. The messages show that after initial briefings on the afternoon of Thursday, July 3, about the potential of heavy rains to come, emergency managers from some counties in the region were posting on the system, querying forecasters about what to expect. Those messages picked up in pace as the flooding began in the early hours of July 4. But no emergency manager from Kerr County participated in those discussions on the messaging platform. It’s unclear whether officials were reviewing the information being shared.
