  1. Exactly what I was about to ask. "We get loads of these vague messages, so ... " "So, what, you just ignore them?" "No, we don't ... I mean ... uh ... derp. And did I mention derp?" "Then why was this one ignored. If they're all the same and you don't usually ignore them, then why was this one ignored. It couldn't be different if they're all the same."
  2. Well, this. And as I mentioned before, it really is just that fucking simple. If someone with a pulse and two functioning brain cells to rub together had simply been awake and monitoring the situation, NOBODY would have died at Camp Mystic.
  3. So, if there's spraying/weather control, who do they think is behind it? The Republicans control everything, so wouldn't they be to blame? Someone make it make sense.
  4. I don't know shit about fuck, but when I was looking for seats on the resale market last year, it looked pretty damn solid. I couldn't justify the cost for any of the seats I'd wanna sit in.
  5. This is the way. And there is another nextdoor (forget the name), and a big one down by T11. https://austinraceparking.com/
  6. I'm not a fan of Apple products, but the streaming service is the best one out there imho and very much worth the sub, even without F1. Hell, Severed alone justifies the cost imho.
  7. Pretty sure it's because this car is soooo much worse than anything Seb or Webbo or Danny ever drove at RBR. Just as changing track conditions reveal more about differences in driver skill up and down the grid, the harder a team's car is to drive, the bigger the gap in performance will be between teammates. When the car is bad, it highlights both the better driver's ability to adapt and the lesser driver's inability to do the same. When the car is easier to drive, the lesser driver will tend to be closer to the better driver. Seb is no Max. Not even close. He was never a dominant driver, as has been revealed in his post-RBR career. He had the dominant car on the grid and only had to beat his teammate to win a championship, which is very often the case in F1. He was just able to consistently get a little bit more out of the car than Mark - who was a very good driver, but not a great one.
  8. IMHO ... Probably makeup to cover the bruising old folks often get with an IV, esp in the hand.
  9. Hmmm ... that would explain why I have to listen to John Smoltz drone through damn near every MLB postseason game.
  10. Yuk yuk ...
  11. Holy shit, my dudes. That's the worst I've seen since just before my stepmonster died.
  12. Username checks out.
  13. Oh yeah, it's fake. But it's spectacular.
  14. Probably already posted, but nsiap ...
  15. Never heard of this bitch, so I looked up her account. In her bio it says "Information War Correspondent". So, she's the female Alex Jones?
  16. And in JULY, at that! Why, yes. Yes it does. In fact there's a decent-sized storm right now ... moving from the northeast to the southwest! Weather warfare!!!! I'm curious. Who do these nutters think is pulling the strings on this weather warfare by the gubment? When Biden was in office, they said he was running that war. So is it Trump now? Why would Trump be trying to kill off Texas and Flawduh voters?
  17. But, but the Orange and the Gnome said it was a '1 in more than 1000 years' event, and nobody's ever seen anything like it or could have known it was possible.
  18. Came here to post that. Maybe this one will imbed? From the Tennessee Holler. Highly recommend this account.
  19. Yeah I think they're a fantastic way to handle this. Low-tech. Get your attention. Those receiving the warning don't need: - to be awake (initially) - to have a cell signal - to have a charged battery - to be registered on CodeRed - to wake up and read a vague message that they will or won't take seriously or comprehend the seriousness of - to be paying attn to facebook or xitter - etc, and it can be automated or monitored 24/7 by a central monitoring station, or both for that matter. Just needs to be maintained and tested regularly, and you only put them where they're needed most - down by the river in places prone to flash flooding. Weather/air raid sirens have always worked at getting people's attention and getting them to at minimum start finding out wtf is wrong. Put some signage around (for visitors) that explains that if you hear it, then Death is coming down that river you're sleeping with your toes in, and you have a short time to gtfo. It really couldn't be much simpler.
  20. True enough, for sure. But there will always be dipshit assholes taking shortcuts or just flat out shirking major responsibilities. The automated detection and sirens would help with that a whole lot.
  21. Yeah I been saying this since about November, and it's only got much worse since then. I wasn't born here, but I got here as quick as I could, about 50 years ago. Always been pretty rah-rah about this state. Til now. It's all just so deflating.
  22. No worries! News cycle flies these days.
  23. For some reason I just remembered this chick I knew at UT. One time a bunch of us were at SPI and she came up with this gem. She said that she wanted to be up and moving around, not because of fitness, fun, etc, but because - get this - she was working on her tan and she said people who just sat or laid on a towel got less sun than people who were up moving around, catching more of the sun's rays. I bet she votes MAGA.
