  1. Thank you, Jesus, and thank you, Vic for sharing it!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Has anyone picked up this compostable material yet?
  6. StinkyPinky is lucky if he beats his meat before Cougar High goes in dry.
  7. Took he's got wood to a whole new meaning.
  8. Aggy's next bonfire location for the Texas game in 2025.
  9. 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...
  10. Is that like car brain? Asking for all the urbanists.
  11. It was practically free. It was all recycled wood and volunteer artists. How dare you look a gift grift in the mouth!
  12. 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).
  13. 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...
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. PM is one step away from office of special projects, where all good state careers go to die.
  18. Whoever didn't put an Iron Maiden track over that clip missed a golden opportunity...
  19. In other news, overnight traffic on Surly is up 1600%
  20. I'll call bullshit on this. I don't care if it's a mentally stable, premeditated mass murderer, or a crazy dude driving a vehicle into a crowd of people. If you're capable of doing that kind of harm, you need to be incarcerated. Claiming you were insane and should get a free pass on a murder is complete bullshit. You're a threat to society, plain and simple. Mental state should only play into whether you grow old in Terrell State Hospital or Huntsville.
  21. Hell, even roided out Prius drivers in Austin can't land a punch, yet alone a decent parking job. Just ask Avery Tomasco.
  22. As seen in Morgantown. They specialize in hauling away burned couches and running hooch.
  23. Not going to mention the silver sedan next to the truck playing just the tip? That might be worse in this case...
  24. Probably sent to Austin State Hospital for a few months of minimum security detention.
  25. I'm impressed by the door ding your granddaughter left with that civic!
