  1. All those Graham articles full of sunshine pumping were distributed to all the voters.
  2. The wooden cabinet TV with channel knobs.
  3. The Holy S*** here is the lady that rode the hood THROUGH the wall and walked away. I figured she would have lost a leg at least with that impact!
  4. There's a good way to get me surly on a Tuesday morning. Two words right there...
  5. are we talking about aggy, or TxState here?
  6. It's like SWTSU alumni changing their resume to Texas State. I know a few SWTSU alumni who are proud of the old name, and refuse to associate with TxState.
  7. That's why I always use your phone number when donating to a PAC.
  8. Man, throw on the dive gear and grab a spear gun. Landed an amber jack back in the day with no more than a minute or two fight after shooting it. That was my only time spearfishing in the gulf, but wouldn't mind doing it again.
  9. They use the "Save the Environment" cause as a guise to fight change they don't agree with. It's 100% NIMBYism being concealed by environmentalism, thus attracting both sides of the aisle to prevent changes to Austin. It's like they took one from the endangered species protection playbook that keeps many greenbelts undeveloped in the area.
  10. For the homelessness decision, they should use the same approach for serial killers around Town Lake:
  11. Also, I'd be curious on the "tons" of trash removed. How much of that is valuable metals? I'd bet there's a decent amount of copper, aluminum, etc. The city and / or contractor really should scrap it and reinvest the proceeds back into their budget rather than shake down Austinites for more money. I mean, my math might be off here, but with just shy of a million residents in Austin proper, we're investing $103 / person / year into homeless services. Of that money, we STILL don't have an audit of where / how the funds are being used.
  12. Still crazy I saw some Texas Wesleyan grads in the area who aggy-ed it up almost instantly overnight when TAMU acquired them. They plastered all over their website they were aggy grads while having gone to TW a decade before the acquisition.
  13. They've already taken away enough streets. Why convert a street to rail to be used a few times an hour and prevent vehicular traffic the rest of the time when not in use. It's like they had a solution to this a century ago and realized it didn't work (street cars / trollies). It's time to realize that the public transit model is not the way forward and STOP investing in stale ideas. It's fighting for taxis when Uber and Lyft are putting them out of business. Or pushing for more hotels when AirBnBs are / were increasing market share. Find a solution that is going to work, and don't just sell us on BS hopes and empty promises.
  14. Jet Engine, Rocket Engine, w/e...
  15. Did you choose Superhero's frozen meal in the breakroom, or something else?
  16. Enough of the hypotheticals. I just want to know if Mansfield Dam ramps are going to be open so I can get to Carlos & Charlies via my Fountain boat.
  17. Somewhere on TxAgs there's a parallel post to this, but instead of a dog, it's a sheep...
  18. damnit, there goes my evening!
  19. Her hubby plays for the batting team, duh!
  20. https://x.com/masonflynt/status/1917276112511459808 https://x.com/BasedVols/status/1917217609608581535 UTjr dude getting COOKED over Gator Bowl rings after making fun of the CFB rings Texas just announced.
  21. I wish they'd put together some nice, easy to read graphics, on where all the money is going. $5.9B annual budget for the city, and homeless services is 1.7% of that. Curious where that ranks against other services provided by CoA and if there's any oversight planned on any of it. I feel like we're trying to get rid of ants by spreading around food crumbs as repellant, and keep trying to figure out where we're going wrong.
  22. Drink from the hose like a real man, stop being a pussy. I have this discussion with my kids constantly. We didn't drag water bottles with us everywhere we went. We either drank from a hose, a water fountain, or just sucked it up for an hour and played while we could.
  23. Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. You think fake army ag bois would know those two QUITE well...
  24. https://www.austinisd.org/propa You forget, AISD sees shortcomings, and thinks they'll just raise taxes to fix it. They raise taxes 90MM, only to realize a fraction of that in the AISD coffers, while the state takes their cut. AISD props are blindly approved by the typical Austin voter; wash, rinse, repeat. Keep adding those numbers onto the recapture amounts, and you can begin to see where the major disparities come from. I feel like at least some of the other school districts get more creative with their bonds to apply the funds to areas that are non-recapture eligible, like facilities or capital investments. That said, I'm clearly no expert by any means in school finance laws, but know there's ways to circumvent the Robinhood crap.
  25. Can't those clowns afford to line their practice field?! Looks like my kids drew a chalk field and numbers. https://x.com/sam_salz/status/1914317579729911851
