  1. Fuck if I know where she got that figure. EDIT: had two posts get merged. The Texas way: why the most disaster-prone US state is so allergic to preparing for disasters https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/13/texas-disaster-weather-preparations-us?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR47GArM3BSbX3RKDgF3YhpvFQqmEu0waCZx6WulsUZEhu6_7_dBHWqgyYAKtA_aem_47aPUk5fd4pcO6Wa4cgjXw
  2. Yeah, but McWilliams* wasn't a colossal douchebag. You would've thought Mackovic won multiple national titles the way he carried himself. * - also didn't lose to Rice or TCU
  3. Was the woman doing Syd's hair her cousin? Or just an old friend? I thought she was pretty good. The thing I found most tedious was when Syd was explaining in lengthy detail the idea of the two houses, comparing The Bear to Shapiro's new place, and how she should pick one over the other. I thought it was very lazy and dragged on far too long. I maybe might not have minded some of these scenes or storylines if they were spliced into other episodes. Felt almost like the out-of-place Xmas episode from Ted Lasso S2.
  4. This is the play. Pardoning her opens up an entirely different set of problems.
  5. To be clear, the 1:14am text was not an "evacuation" text though it probably should've been treated as such. It said "life threatening flash flooding was expected" or somesuch. Mystic is gone. Plain and simple. The insurance policies are not going to be big enough to cover the liability claims. Read somewhere on this board (I think) that a group of parents -- mostly fathers -- have already started discussing a situation where they settle for policy limits and then the current Mystic grounds are turned into some kind of memorial and public recreation area. Mrs C-Man heard somewhere the Mystic property is worth anywhere from $50M-$100M but wonder if that much could be gotten considering what just happened there and future less-favorable flood mapping (presumably).
  6. Of course he did HED: Tesla’s penis-shaped Robotaxi expansion illustrates how unserious the business is https://electrek.co/2025/07/14/tesla-penis-shaped-robotaxi-expansion-illustrates-unserious-business/
  7. Buddy of mine is pretty high level AT&T employee and he was up there with his team this weekend. He said they heard the reason the number of "missing-found" isn't changing much is because they're no longer finding bodies, only body parts and they've got to DNA test them.
  8. WaPo: Camp Mystic’s leader got a ‘life threatening’ flood alert. They evacuated an hour later. This is worth your 15 mins or so: https://www.msn.com/en-us/public-safety-and-emergencies/health-and-safety-alerts/camp-mystic-s-leader-got-a-life-threatening-flood-alert-they-evacuated-an-hour-later/ar-AA1IzzCj
  9. Was just coming to post this story.
  10. Met up with some people today, including a very close friend whose son was down at La Junta the session before the flood. This isn’t shocking but they’ve been advised there will be no La Junta camps for at least the next two summers.
  11. Watching the Syd episode (4, I think). Appears she wrote this one too. This is not great. Woof.
  12. Pulling this from the RFKjr thread because this stupidity needs to be seen.
  13. Joe Rogan is weaponized stupidity
  14. Seems like it is. Attending several funerals most likely means the Park Cities. I think there were six Mystic victims from the Park Cities — not sure another area had near as many. I’m going to one of the funerals Wednesday. Would not shock me in the slightest if Rex is also there.
  15. Men’s Final already more competitive than the women’s
  16. *veracity [emoji1787]
  17. I thought they said they were taking 3 weeks off when they were leaving.
  18. I think she was very vocal that she was moving to Ireland, at least temporarily, after Trump won. Not sure what’s she done since other than maybe lobbing a few criticisms online.
  19. Fucking moron https://www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/DMBNtYLpiIZ?xmt=AQF0W4NJwVSzKB0zWIJyc9pEAMGRZB6St-T0-ZWFml56pg
  20. Sorry, I’ve been drinking this afternoon.
  21. Ugh, this is not a good look for Mystic — or the powers-that-be. Pretty certain powerful Mystic connections greased a few wheels to get this done time and time again. Hed: FEMA removed dozens of Camp Mystic buildings from 100-year flood map before expansion, records show https://apnews.com/article/texas-flood-camp-mystic-map-records-investigation-e12bee8d5f88301363861ca12c19b929?utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR641lzvK9L8pr0mUbZmM58Hko0lyiW91YaiuymClSDaONGNn8BcocdvtI6iag_aem_lBuTHt__iEeZCfaKsWPxvA#wnv79s3henrwohu42coulr4hvw3aeqgrw
  22. That was my best HS buddy’s widow, Amy Hudson. She spent 14 years at Mystic as a camper, counselor and later as the equestrian instructor. All four of their girls went to Mystic. She was quoted multiple times in the WSJ story and told about the maintenance man who would stay up and monitor the river when needed.
