  1. My spa uses my main variable speed pump and uses the water flowing through the pipes to passively "vacuum" air into the lines for bubbles. I can set the pump speed to whatever I want in spa mode or just run it at pool speed and divert the water to the spa with a valve. Maybe you have a similar ability.
  2. After a product failure with high build primer it’s now in basic black primer. The passenger door gets media blasted Wednesday
  3. One of the related articles I read explained how the former president (same one that just resigned) converted all the tenured librarian positions to non-tenured. Tenured librarians had to take on another role to keep tenure. I guess that’s one way to “fire” tenured employees. I’d bet the collections you mentioned played a part.
  4. The cheers remind me of the 4 year old swim meet and it takes a minute for some of them to cross 25 meters. The last one always gets the loudest cheers 😄
  5. Living in North Korea is worse than a dishonorable discharge or even Leavenworth. Leave him there.
  6. Tenured journalism professor at UT offered department head at aggy (her alma mater) but she’s not aggy enough because she worked at NY Times and Texas and they admit to changing the agreed position terms because she’s also black. This leads to the president of aggy resigning. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/07/21/tamu-president-resign-journalism/
  7. From the twitter thread
  8. But accurate
  9. My teens are using it on a regular basis and inviting their friends over. The whole point was creating a destination hangout for the high school crowd. It helps a lot. Now adding in a large screen TV in the game room to create a hang out room.
  10. What are the real implications. I have only read that memo but it raises some questions. What is the impact on corporate property taxes? What is the real effect on homestead properties and is there a breakdown by property value? Does it only affect high value properties (rich donor class)? What is the impact on public school funding? I could imagine this as possibly a Trojan horse, one-two punch, along with Abbott’s priority of sending public education tax dollars to private schools to effectively “defund public schoolS.
  11. The fuckery will be a moderate 3rd party candidate that siphons off enough center voters from Biden in battleground states to put shenanigans into play
  12. Mine is vertical and the pool is 2 years old. Pool builder acknowledged it but been silent for a while. Has a lifetime warranty for original owners (me)
  13. Should go after the one that used their user interface first
  14. Make the Trump deal a Suspended sentence of 20 years with conditions like he cannot raise money, speak publicly or post on social media.
  15. We have a lot of combat veterans from 2002 through 2022 to look after. Visiting San Antonio and seeing the number of amputees that stay around for access to the Army medical center is eye opening.
  16. We usually have a family of Screech Owls in our back yard. Last year they had 3 babies and all 5 would fly though our yard and roost in our large oak looking for prey as the littles learned to hunt.The tree picture is a Hawk roosting where the Owls like to sit. It’s usually too dark to capture the owls but one night I got an owl sitting on a cooler lid.
  17. The next day hiking around his place I saw this baby vulture under a rock outcrop. It showed signs of having been there a while and was being fed. We saw the parents fly in and out of the area the day before. It made this eerie hissing moaning noise at me. When I first saw it I thought it might be an owl but it turned towards me and saw its head.
  18. Found this Painted Bunting in the middle of the road in Lampasas Co. It could not fly and I assumed it was hit by a car. I picked it up and took it to my friend’s place and let it rest in the shade, gave it water drops from my finger and it eventually recovered and flew away about an hour later. At first just over the fence into the grass and then over our heads for a flyby and then into a tree.
  19. Ward Carrol’s YouTube channel?
