  1. They should have done this years ago.

    It was probably a co-owned position with the mayor’s office to share expenses. Funding agreement was never signed back in 2001 because the mayor got distracted. Took this long to get a new agreement negotiated. /satire
  2. So DPS had a dozen troopers within 2 blocks of the Governor's Mansion plus the surveillance system and the fucking arsonist on tape, and in 12 years...they have a grand total of zero leads?  Every time I read "And now Texas DPS/Texas Rangers are investigating"...I know then that no closure will come to the case.  These guys can fuck up a cup of coffee.  Lived in Texas 25+ years, I'll never understand y'all's idolization for high school football coaches, preachers, and police officers.  

    People still think that was arson? Interdasting

  3. “According to body cam footage, Shimanek told his supervisor that he pulled Dillon Puente over because he suspected him of having narcotics, and he arrested him so he could search his car.”

    What in the fucking fuck. “I had a hunch” is something they tell their supervisor in hopes that they’ll be told, “aw shucks, why didn’t you say so?!?”

    Naw, no problem here. They obviously need raises and to hire more of their friends to make them feel better.

  4. So when the new super spread strain that’s in the UK right now gets here, we start all over again?  

    What seems to be the most amazing result of this new vaccine production process is how much faster we will react to new strains. For example, back in October while responding to a story on the vaccine currently being administered worldwide the UT Austin lab threw in something like “this process is so much faster than the older methods that we already have the next vaccine candidate ready for testing after identifying the next super spreader strain. This would normally take 12-18 months.”(Paraphrasing)

    I’ll try to find the article again and post a link.

  5. Picked one of these up today. Haven't seen them before in HEB. Guessing it's a Christmas thing? Either way, will report back Friday.

    Several H-E-B in Austin keep a regular supply of wagyu now. Either the briskets or preformed patties or a regular selection in the meat counter. I smoked a 5 lb wagyu chuck roast this week that was outstanding. I think the briskets are a different brand with an H-E-B label slapped over at slaughter H-E-B. I don’t know that I’ve seen the label in your picture.
  6. He looks way fucked up. Damn. Why even the tent? 

    Ya. I bet Dr Andrews is screaming somewhere. That guy needs to be on a board and headed to the hospital. Never be too careful when someone’s neck gets bent like that.
  7. I work in state government. My boss starting working for the state the year before I was born. I am 47 years old. She doesn't know exactly what I do, nor how to do my job in the event that I wasn't around. She treats the women in our area with kid gloves and allows them to get away with murder. Meanwhile, my one other male co-worker and I are always treated with a sense of suspicion, like we're trying to get away with something. It's infuriating.
    That being said, she isn't a raving asshole. Just ignorant and (IMO) a misandrist.  She doesn't micromanage and because of her ignorance, we can get things done without too much pushback. She just wants the credit, which I don't care about. I just want the proper results.
    None of us believe she'll retire, she'll die in her office. But if she did retire, I wouldn't be sad or happy. I don't really care. 13 years till retirement, y'all.

    Jesus I’m glad it’s not just me. This hit awfully close to home.
  8. Posted early on the FB page, but I'm loving smoked chucks for chopped sammiches on the egg.  Much faster than brisket (5-6 hours).  Cheaper.  Easier to make and have a distinctive "pot-roast/BBQ" flavor.  Served with Hawaiian rolls, pickles and chopped onions.  Slam hard!

    Tried this and my experience was exactly the same as you describe. Surprisingly quick, easy, and great result. Plus having the hookup on discounted H-E-B wagyu chuck roast right now helped too.
