  1. Friend of mine works for a state agency and has/had written/official permission to permanently work remotely, would still go into office in Austin when requested (and on his own dime) but that was not super often. Mentioned this to him and he said wasn't sure if it would apply to him yet... really hoping he doesn't get rat fucked by Abbott but that would not be the most surprising thing in the world at this point...
  2. Any fucking day now…McDonald’s do your thang
  3. Stoopid Sip, the plywood is to protect the contents of the building from looters not the windows...
  4. Quite literally already have useful idiot a la Jar Jar binks in Star Wars proposing this shit: https://ogles.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-ogles-proposes-amending-22nd-amendment-allow-trump-serve-third-term
  5. Those Aggy McMansions out in Katy/Cypress along the Grand Parkway need plenty of cheap timber (and labor) they aint gonna build themselves...
  6. This article and its content seem pretty news worthy to me...
  7. I for one, can't wait to have to pay Elon Musk a subscription fee thru X: the everything app, in order to get all the great weather forecast information including severe weather warnings and Hurricane track forecasts that the NWS currently provides as a public service...
  8. That dude Bo French is a real grade A piece of shit, so much so that even more "reasonable" Texas republicans have had issues with some of the dumbass shit he says like this... At this point, I'm at the FAFO place with stuff like this, why not let them try and have Tarrant County 100% red and see who they can figure out to blame when things go wrong. Already slowly starting to happen at the State level when R's have been in control for so long they are running out of people to blame for things like schools not all being excellent and property taxes not being out of control, etc. Its starting with calling any republican who isn't straight 100% MAGA a "RINO" that must be primaried and voted out... but what happens then when there are still shitty schools and property taxes are still outta control? It's gonna be a real-life Tim Robenson sketch:
  9. Feel like if there was ever a chance for a MWC - PAC12 merger in this round of realignment it would have already happened, on the face without thinking about the money side it just made too much sense not to do originally. Schools that jumped from the MWC to PAC did so for a reason: to get away from MWC schools that they saw as not being committed to a higher-level of athletics (dead weight) and were cruising off of the money that the schools who left were bringing into the MWC. Until something changes with that (or there is some calamity with PAC12 TV deal negotiations, and they end up exactly back where they were with the MWC) just see no way the schools who left the PAC would ever agree to a reverse merger.
  10. I always get a little anxious at big stadium events even though I know in theory there is fire code and everything and have seen videos of how quick they can be emptied when needed, but just have a nagging fear in the back of my mind that if I was ever at a full stadium and some sort of emergency happened, it would be pure chaos trying to get out...
  11. Friend who works for a State Rep in Austin told me about that, so fucking infuriating our political hero’s are wasting time renaming things and burdening all the businesses in the state with that change instead of fixing shit that actually matters…
  12. Elon could get a family tree that filled out in 5 years flat
  13. Always knew that we would be turbo fucked during the next pandemic/public health crisis after COVID, just didn't expect it to happen so soon or to start in West Texas...
  14. Jimbo Buyouts you say...
  15. Aggy right now:
  16. can't wait till they want to rename their football stadium "Playfly Sports Stadium presented by Dude Perfect at Kyle Field"
  17. Mike was always right, just had that stupid prideful SOB Waltah cross his path... Feel like I'm eventually going to have to say this to the few friends I have left who've been MAGA brain rotted before cutting them out of my life, just about done seeing if they will change their minds and they aint budging:
  18. according to my handy dandy desk drawer TI-30XIIS calculator, worst case 521 billion is 7.7% of federal budget and other end 233 billion is 3.5%. but yeah when the so called fiscally conservative party are ones are passing a budget that includes $2.5 trillion in deficit spending...it's kind of hard to care about a few hundred billion in fraud as bad as that may be
  19. Apparently it was pretty full (think ticket office website said it was pretty close to sold out) but after Bobcats put up the 5 spot in the 3rd and another run in the 5th with no response aggy faithful started to filter out:
  20. To be fair it just wouldn’t have slapped nearly as hard as this: aggy Thanos
  21. I’ll have some whatever drugs you are on, thank you
  22. Texas to investigate lottery jackpots as questions swirl about online ticketing firms | CNN Business Listened to a podcast who had the person who investigated this on and described what was going on, quite fascinating: International syndicate bought almost every numeric combination for 2023 Lotto Texas Short version: International syndicate figured out that once Lotto Texas (and other lotteries around the world) jackpots get over a certain amount, they can just about guarantee a profit by buying up all the possible number combinations so they effectively "cover the board". They did this in Texas using what is called a lotto courier company who offer sales online. To stay within the confines of Texas Lotto rules they actually have to have the tickets printed even if they are bought online so somewhere there is an office setup with officially licensed/approved Texas Lotto machines/printers and they have to crank out all those tickets before the drawing deadline. That was allegedly the hardest part of this whole scheme was actually getting all the tickets printed. And now of course our political hero's see that they look bad because someone smarter than them gamed the system and they gotta put a stop to that...
  23. Dunno but if you go to Ripley's on the River Walk in San Antonio you probably deserve to get Measles...and to be called fat by Charles Barkley
