Good. Maybe they can work on operating other services full time, then.

Has anyone picked up this compostable material yet?

That troll is a cool work of art and just in time for the hippies to worship next month in Pease.
But, yeah, its days are numbered. When not going after body parts the bums enjoy taking out windows, front doors, etc. Imagine what they'll do to that pile of kindling. I'm guessing the over on Malin surviving is 10 months. Smart play is the under. Hope that's wrong.

Your vitriol and @PvilleStang refusal to answer is starting to convince me you are the Trey Stinette that stole 100k from me. You refused an adult discussion then, just like now, because you are a coward and a thief. Dale Carroll said I should have paid someone 10k to put a bullet in your head. I left because you are married to my sister. I wonder if you are also part of the Christian conspiracy that has harassed me from dark corners for the last 6-7 years. It would make sense because I foolishly trusted you again when the Jesuit asked who should be in charge of the network. I was being psychologically tortured by Israel at the time. I'm sure HaShem forgives my foolish trust and has my best interests at heart. Cheers.
Well, @immamac might have to send you a refresher in surly rules. Pretty sure posting shit like this will get you a banning...

The other feature of KLBJAM brain is an absolute refusal to use Google.

How much did that cost? Still don't have the money of pay lifeguards at park pools, though, right?
It was practically free. It was all recycled wood and volunteer artists. How dare you look a gift grift in the mouth!

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).

It’s true.And I was being somewhat tongue in cheek- under the old system there was a ton of abuse. Like anything that deprives someone of their liberty it requires well designed independent oversight and high standards.
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...

lol perfect example. It’s the same thing with mass shootings. We have a huge mental health crisis and it creates mayhem and violence, but we can’t actually do anything about it because “conservative” men keep tagging themselves in revenge fantasies about pissed off neighbors and scorned women.
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.

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.

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.

PMs are the fucking worst.
At least those I deal with. They have zero technical acumen, and I always have to take over their role for our projects eventually. So I guess I'm a PM by default.
PM is one step away from office of special projects, where all good state careers go to die.

This is the reactionary flip side of “we should just put them in hotels!”
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.

Hell, even roided out Prius drivers in Austin can't land a punch, yet alone a decent parking job. Just ask Avery Tomasco.

Not going to mention the silver sedan next to the truck playing just the tip? That might be worse in this case...

"released to a care facility" = sent back to their homeless camps/drug dens after a pinky swear to be less stabby
Probably sent to Austin State Hospital for a few months of minimum security detention.

Stuck behind some RAV4 on 71 today, and the dude's doing 2 over the limit on the left lane, crawling past the dude on the right lane. 2 minutes later, he finishes passing the other guy, then slowly pulls into the right lane, and starts going 80.

This one was interesting, too. I'm interested if anyone has the dude's name yet, and what his priors are. Several tweeting he was out on bond when this happened. Sorry for partying?
QuoteAUSTIN, Texas — A man is in custody following an hourslong SWAT standoff in South Austin.
According to the Austin Police Department, they received a burglary hotshot call just before 12 p.m. Wednesday at a home near Merle Drive and West Ben White Boulevard.
When officers arrived at the home, police said they learned a naked man forced his way into the home and assaulted one of the residents.
Police believe at least two people were inside the home at the time and were able to get out of the home safely. After the residents got out, the homeowner told police that there were several loaded firearms inside the home, which led to APD's SWAT team coming to the scene.
After nearly three hours, the man surrendered and was taken to the Travis County Jail where he faces a felony burglary charge, according to police.
Residents in the area reported gunfire during the standoff, but police said those reports may have been caused by "distractionary" devices used by officers during the incident.
Meanwhile, police said they're unsure if the man was intoxicated or suffering from a mental crisis at the time of the incident.
Per the spaceman:
QuoteWhen she turned around, a naked man holding a drug pipe and a butane torch lighter was standing in her living room, she said. She tried talking to him, she said, but he appeared to be high on drugs because his eyes were darting back and forth and he wasn't able to say anything coherent.

Almost forgot, for Garza's vendetta on Cops: the latest two Wilco Sheriffs were found NOT GUILTY last night. That's exactly 0 cops he's been able to throw behind bars.
What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?

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.
