  1. Eh, currency is different. If Bitcoin could function as a currency, it would have value. But it isn't used that way and its volatility makes it unlikely to ever be used as a real currency. Whether it remains a long term store of value remains to be seen I suppose. But I expect the music will stop at some point. No harm in folks making money in the interim.
  2. I think Bitcoin is inherently worthless, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good gamble. I do think the music will stop eventually, but I have no idea when that will be.
  3. If you get 15 minutes warning for a tornado, you're doing really fucking well. No one is evacuating "days before weather arrives." Your entire contribution to this thread has been pure, unadulterated, bullshit. No, it is go to lower ground or even under ground per @Texas Fight
  4. Having a bad, poorly conceived plan is not the same thing as having an actual functional plan. You can have "a plan" and still be negligent. If you don't know what you're arguing, maybe you should stop arguing it.
  5. It seems pretty clear that you don't get the concept. Simple warning systems like this have been used to great effect for a long time. You tie them to dangerous water levels upstream. These can be very predictably modeled to a fairly high degree of precision. Yes, there would have to be some attempt to educate the community on the best course of action. You remember tornado and fire drills in school (now with active shooter drills)? You remember public service announcements on TV? Shit like that works.
  6. Technically, I think it banned greenhouse gas emissions
  7. Less than 3 feet away and still rising fairly rapidly. It'll probably hit 670 sometime tomorrow.
  8. We've crossed 664.
  9. Lake Travis approaching 663. Rise accelerated greatly over the last 12 hours.
  10. He'll say he knew it was coming because he knows more about flooding and rain than anyone. He'll then say that Biden's bad policies prevented him from fixing it, but he'll fix it in 2 weeks and it'll be better than ever.
  11. Travis has crossed 661. Seems to be holding around 661.22 right now.
  12. It is really strange to get all worked up over a completely reasonable question. And the completely reasonable answer may just be "I don't know right now, but will look into after the on-going emergency is handled". But yes, asking in real time is always better than asking months or years later.
  13. Lake Travis nearing 660. 659.41 and still trickling up.
  14. @immamac new motto?
  15. This you?
  16. I didn't see a notify button. Maybe I missed something. Should I just email Angie? I see what I did. I put slingshot law in the notes field, not the tribute section. Not sure if there is a way to fix that at this point.
  17. There will be no change until and unless life long republicans stop viewing that as a source of pride and start voting for democrats.
  18. Hugging my kids a lot today.
  19. So... your argument is that somehow they had good monitoring and a good plan, but missed this thing that was talked about for hours in advance? What is the non negligent scenario? Everyone in charge of monitoring and evacuation spontaneously combusted?
  20. I know that if they had those things, this wouldn't have happened. Either they nothing or had a very poorly implemented plan.
  21. I'd say we have pretty strong evidence that it wasn't being monitored and didn't have a strong evacuation plan. Why are you even arguing this?
