  1. Like getting shit for only being able to shoot down a civilian aircraft?

    Actually if you've ever met one of those guys, they really, really don't want to shoot down a civilian plane, passengers or not.   
    1.   With passengers, they know it's going to cause all sorts of shit.
    2.  Without passengers, their fellow pilots will give them all sorts of shit.
  2. It really is amazing. They giving us a great deal and we are refusing it. But spending $150 on a library on a prime piece of property is a no brainier

    As an outsider with no stake in this, I find everything very amusing. 
    How many other cities, including San Antonio, would have said yes the moment the owner got off the plane without even hearing the  details.   Hope it all works out in the end, but you have to think at some point precout says "screw this, I'm out" if it doesnt go through.
  3. There is a timeframe for all the sensors to check and activate on, that's why it is taking a while for the light to come on. It depends on the car but just letting it idle for a while isn't going to do it.

    It might be something like. Engine on for 45 mins + driving over 30 mins for 5 mins + doing x and z = all sensors active and clear or with a warning. That's why you can't just dicoonnect your battery to clear a warning and then go get an inspection. It takes a little bit for those to reset

    Good luck and as others have said never go to a dealer

  4. In another incident earlier that same year, Manafort allegedly submitted another fraudulent profit-and-loss statement to a different lender with his firm's income inflated by $2 million. An employee at this lender, who was apparently aware of Manafort's ruse, replied back, "Looks Dr'd. Can someone just do a clean excel doc and pdf to me?"
    "A subsequent version was submitted to the bank," the indictment says.


    Probably Wells Fargo

  5. If they add AT&T sportsnet let me know. That’s when I’ll switch.
    I eventually gave up and switched back to a uverse promo. I'll gladly pay a few bucks extra to have Astros reliably/easily, a decent DVR and a stable platform. Next year I will be back to deciding what to do. I guess that's the game we will have to play from now on, especially since these cord cutting options are going up in price.
  6. Wouldn't something 163 feet long require something resembling a full time crew?  I mean, I'd think you wouldn't treat it like my 24' SeaRay and get a side-tie at the marina overnight.
    I think the crew was onboard asleep.
  7. He doesn't even care about the tax cuts.  All he cares about is what people think about him - so he will constantly be pissed as his approval rating will never go over 50%, unless he chooses to off himself.  
    This. He just wants everyone to like him and think he is super rich. Also, he holds a grudge so he will do whatever it takes to get back at whatever he feels wronged by. Obama's roast convinced him to run. buying Mar a Lago to get back at other clubs that wouldn't let him in. Probably why he picks on the NFL as well.

  8. Northwestern has to be done...

    The estranged daughter of celebrity Alaskan crab boat captain and cable TV star Sig Hansen claims her father sexually abused her as a toddler, while her parents were divorcing nearly three decades ago, according to interviews and court records.

    As a result of the alleged abuse, Melissa Eckstrom, now a 28-year-old family law attorney in Seattle, contends in a lawsuit that she battled depression, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts and other trauma throughout her childhood. She also claims that she still harbors memories of her father’s abuse of her as a 2-year-old in 1990.

    “I have memories … of being in a room alone with my father and crying out in pain,” Eckstrom stated in a court declaration.

  9. AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin Water put out a tweet Monday about the low lake levels and the importance of cutting back on water use, along with the hashtag "make it last."

    After KXAN reported Lake Travis — Austin's source for water — is less than 70 percent full and Lake Buchanan isn't far behind, viewers have been asking why the Lower Colorado River Authority is still sending water downstream to the rice farmers.

    "I was just curious how much they were going to release, and why they were still releasing when we are in the position that we're in," said John Klingler.

    Klingler lives in Lago Vista and has two boats at Lago Vista Marina Park. He says the boat slips have been moved every weekend for the last three weekends to keep up with the changing shoreline.

    The rapid drop exposing more of the usually rocky lake bottom has him wondering about the water the LCRA is sending downstream.

    "I understand the rice farmers have a livelihood, but the flip side is economically the lake up here is a huge boost not to mention it's our drinking water," said Klingler.

    So far this year, the LCRA has sent more than 44,000 acre-feet of stored water downstream. They plan to release another 55,000 acre-feet between August and October.

    The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is the agency that approved the 2015 Water Management Plan that lays out how much water is available for agricultural irrigation. 

    The plan is currently being updated with significant stakeholder input, and the LCRA expects to submit a revised plan to the TCEQ early next year.

    Three years ago when the lake was at one of its lowest points, Klingler ended up closing his restaurant on the lake in Jonestown. He's hoping Central Texas won't be in that same boat again

  10. I need to do some maintenance on mine. Replace a few boards and restain. Is this a good place to ask or should I start a new thread? Basically wondering if I can just power wash the hell out of before applying a new stain or whatever. Or do I need to sand down the existing. No idea what the original guy used for stain.ed215bec398f93056b7a63a56559d7b7.jpg040f2fd20b9663effd11e40b62f064b0.jpgb7dc5e5a15fc387d5ad355c5667dc4d2.jpg
