  1. I'm sorry a cop fucked your wife once while you watched, but not all cops are bad. And yes, it's a fucking vendetta. How many cops has Garza dragged through the courts thus far? He indicted 17 cops then dismissed them back in December. The two Javier Ambler sheriffs deputies, who were found to be not-guilty. Christopher Taylor has been through two mistrials. Jose Garza has wasted resources and money prosecuting officers with exactly 0 guilty verdicts. If you're a police officer, and you could work for Austin and get paid significantly less with risk of litigation left and right, or go work in a more police-friendly city that pays better and has a better working relationship with the DA and the City Council, why the hell would you come to Austin!?
  2. Take this crap to the CR. APD is suffering more from the image of the DA office's vendetta against the police. And the City wants unlimited oversite on the APA and APD, and the city council renegs on the contract negotiations. Until you can get City Hall, the DA's office, and APD to cooperate, it's going to be a gigantic shitshow like this.
  3. She's right, you know... At least when you have emergency heat like most heat pump units have, if you set your temp high enough, it will engage the heat strips and start blasting the heat out quickly. Downside is it draws like 4x the power to run.
  4. It was a machete, and it was after the fact.
  5. I don't know what's better: her trying to reholster the gun between the girls while it's still hot, or her taking a hot minute to deploy the gun itself. Hold on, Mr. Attacker, I'm going to shoot you, but I need a minute to whip this out, cock it, get my hand out of the front of the barrel, aim it, and I MIGHT get you then...
  6. My back hurts just looking at that...
  7. Thank you, Jesus, and thank you, Vic for sharing it!
  8. Man, your depth finder must be REALLY off. Below the Oasis, you MIGHT see 200 if you're lucky at full pool, but I would bet closer to 180 from my recollection. CSB: did a night dive on the dam a decade and change ago, and with the survace elevation around 680', I shoved my arm with the depth gauge about 2 feet into the silt at the bottom to hit 170' at the deepest point on one of the "jail houses". If you guys REALLY wanted the easiest way to increase capacity, dredge the river beds, and I bet you could get a good 10-15 feet of silt out of there, not to mention a few dead bodies. Removing the peninsula / sometimes islands, you're going to be blasting away for ages to get minimal results.
  9. At Twin Peaks, had a check for 14.86. Tipped her "pi" (can't find the symbol) for the tip, and totaled it out to 18, which was a fair tip. She had to call over two to three managers to figure out what was going on. Was a dick move for sure, but worth the laughs.
  10. So they didn't have the cap in the budget to raise wages high enough to attract life guard applicants? Essentially they didn't budget for inflation / growth and hamstrung themselves.
  11. Has anyone picked up this compostable material yet?
  12. StinkyPinky is lucky if he beats his meat before Cougar High goes in dry.
  13. Took he's got wood to a whole new meaning.
  14. Aggy's next bonfire location for the Texas game in 2025.
  15. Well, @immamac might have to send you a refresher in surly rules. Pretty sure posting shit like this will get you a banning... EDIT: and if you need to delete this post, mods, feel free...
  16. Is that like car brain? Asking for all the urbanists.
  17. It was practically free. It was all recycled wood and volunteer artists. How dare you look a gift grift in the mouth!
  18. Does wonders for the life of the hinges on that screen. And puts undue stress on the battery life of the laptop (given it's pulling power from the USB-C outlet).
  19. Austin is truly the pinnacle of cities when it comes to oversite and standards. Just look at Project Connect! And Austin Energy and their brush management, and Austin Water, and our homeless strategy department...
  20. Riddle me this: what are the implications of having been admitted into a mental health institution? You're going to get red flagged on a lot of future applications for anything from gun ownership to security clearances to TSA Pre, etc. There's a negative connotation, just like there is with DWIs, Class A-B misdemeanors, etc. Someone found to be mentally unstable and tagged as such will have a barrier to overcome in their future. And it is not unreasonable to believe that people will abuse this for their personal or financial gain. It's all politics around these parts, anyways.
  21. I think the conservative aversion to Mental Health: it becomes a very slippery slope if we start admitting people into mental health institutions who we deem to be mentally unstable. At what point do people abuse the system and claim their wives or girlfriends or neighbors are acting crazy and getting them incarcerated in a mental hospital. I fully agree, our state-funded mental institutions are spread extremely thin, and we need more private mental health facilities. But the stigma behind mental health and the real lack of funding really keeps the status quo where it's at. Until someone takes it up as a priority at the txlege or at the Whitehouse, we're stuck sending a bulk of our homeless to ASH or TSH for lobotomies.
  22. I compromised with my wife the other day, and got Cottonelle instead of Charmin. Was delightfully surprised. Unfortunately, it still doesn't wipe this site clean of shit posters.
  23. PM is one step away from office of special projects, where all good state careers go to die.
  24. Whoever didn't put an Iron Maiden track over that clip missed a golden opportunity...
  25. In other news, overnight traffic on Surly is up 1600%
