  1. Sounds like a business opportunity. APIs into companies who operate cameras on US roads. Query their license plate read databases on a timely basis. Alert whomever via whatever when certain plates are read. How fucking easy is that?
  2. Through knowing someone involved in the Paxton whistle blowers case, I know some not public details about Paxton. He's an absolute piece of shit. Everyone in the lege knows what a piece of shit he is. That a majority of Republican state reps voted in his favor tells you what a fucking cesspool the state Republican leadership has become. Fuck this state.
  3. I don't work for tolltag company but I run a continuous improvement team which leverages software and AI. I imagine every tool booth operates by AI reading license plates, then checking the national list of license plates to see where and who to bill. I used my NTTA tolltag in Colorado. Colorado tolltag companies read my license plate, pinged the national list, then billed NTTA for the tolls, which then dinged my account. It's an easy ass network to build and operate. It's an easy fucking script to have all the toll companies to read for a specific license plate. When that license plate is read, it can immediately alert via email, text, whatever to anyone on a list. An intern can set up that script.
  4. Decades ago, flying back from Hong Kong, over 30 American families had gone over to HK/China to adopt babies. The entire flight back was chorus of babies crying. At no point on the flight was a baby not crying. I don't remember anyone complaining. Babies are gonna do what babies do. Cry, eat, cry, shit, cry, sleep.
  5. As a father of two grown kids, I sympathize with parents of young children crying on airplanes. We've ALL been there. It's not the kid or the parent's fault. It's just life. For this shitstain to go off on that baby and the parents tells me he's a fucking miserable person. Hopefully has hasn't procreated.
  6. That's great but this dude aint rich or famous. He's just a dude from Louisiana who gives air boat tours.
  7. He's been in Instagram photos with Glen Powell and Kate Hudson and her family.
  8. They should just sell his ashes for people to snort. "Snort the Juice of a Killer" could be the slogan.
  9. Lana Del Rey has a new boyfriend. Jeremy Dufrene. He's got to be a gazillionaire. What does he do? He's air boat captain in Louisiana. They met in 2019 when she went on a tour.
  10. Why the fuck are you idiots responding to Fman. Why the fuck don't you idiots have him on ignore like the majority of us. It pisses us off when you dipshits quote him and we get a reminder of what a useless poster he is.
  11. Power is out. 78757. AE texted and said expect fix around 6:54pm. Ok....
  12. I'm not a knife connoisseur. I don't collect or anything. I have a buck pocket knife that was my dad's that I keep for sentimental value, and that's about it. I saw this posted in Slickdeals and then people started raving about the value of this knife. Seen a few reviews on Youtube. My take away is that it's a solid $30 knife that you can buy for $10. Thoughts? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-7-5-inch-Slide-Lock-Folder-Folding-Knife-with-Ball-Bearing-3-3-inch-D2-Blade-Belt-Clip/5420562258?classType=REGULAR&from=/search
  13. Awesome. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/08/25/massachusetts-rare-mosquito-virus/ Deadly mosquito virus has Mass. towns urging people to stay in at night Massachusetts confirmed its first human case of eastern equine encephalitis this month. Massachusetts health officials this month confirmed the state’s first human case of the eastern equine encephalitis virus this year — a man in his 80s exposed in Worcester County, west of Boston. Ten communities are now designated at high or critical risk for the virus, health officials said Saturday. Plymouth, about 40 miles south of Boston, closed all public parks and fields from dusk until dawn, when mosquitoes are most active. Nearby, Oxford banned all outdoor activities on town property after 6 p.m. “We have not seen an outbreak of EEE for four years in Massachusetts,” Robbie Goldstein, the state’s department of public health commissioner, said in a statement. “We need to use all our available tools to reduce risk and protect our communities. We are asking everyone to do their part.” Eastern equine encephalitis is caused by a virus spread through the bite of an infected mosquito, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is rare, but serious: about 30 percent of people with the virus die, and many survivors suffer ongoing neurological problems. The virus outbreak in Massachusetts comes as mosquito season has lengthened across the United States, The Washington Post reported. Climate change has fueled rising global temperatures, and for more than two-thirds of the United States, increased the number of “mosquito days,” meaning days with an average humidity of at least 42 percent and temperatures between 50 and 95 degrees. The Northeast has warmed faster than the rest of the country and experienced the biggest increase in mosquito days. In Massachusetts, there have been an average of 14 more mosquito days compared with the period from 1980 to 2009. Scientists warn that longer mosquito seasons could heighten the risk of outbreaks of diseases carried by the bloodsucking insects, such as dengue and malaria. Massachusetts health officials said there will be mosquito spraying between dusk and dawn throughout this week in Plymouth and Worcester counties to limit the presence of eastern equine encephalitis. “Aerial spraying will target mosquitoes carrying the EEE virus. While these measures are crucial for reducing transmission risk, it’s vital for everyone to stay vigilant and follow personal protection guidelines to safeguard our community,” Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources Commissioner Ashley Randle said in a statement. Symptoms of those infected with the virus can include fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, behavioral changes and drowsiness. There are no vaccines to prevent eastern equine encephalitis, nor is there a specific treatment. In 2019, there were 12 human cases of the virus in Massachusetts. Six people died. The next year, there were five human cases, with one death, according to the state health agency. In a Wednesday memo, Oxford’s town manager, Jennifer M. Callahan, said she has been in touch with the family of the person who was afflicted with the virus this year and still battling it in the hospital. Story continues below advertisement The family “explained their loved one with EEE was the one person in the family who recounted through the years they never get bit by mosquitos,” Callahan said. “However, right before he became symptomatic he shared that he had been recently bitten.” “They want people to be aware this is an extremely serious disease with terrible physical and emotional consequences, regardless if the person manages to live,” Callahan said.
  14. If I was on a bender and bought that thing, in my sober state I'd claim it to be stolen.
  15. That's a lot of words for saying I never ate at the original Katz's on 6th.
  16. If he has kids, I'm surprised that hadn't killed him.
  17. Dude, even the Kia boys wouldn't steal that ugly station wagon thing. That thing is truly for people who've given up on life.
  18. That 6th street location is the original Katz's opened in 1979. In the 80s and 90s, it was always packed from midnight through 4AM with people eating there after going out on 6th. Their reuben was fucking outstanding. Never been to any of the Houston locations. I just know the OG, old Austin location.
  19. Dad brutally kills mom, almost cutting off her head at the neck. It's not weird that the kids of said dead mom want to make jewelry of dad's ashes? If my dad brutally killed my mom, I'm pissing on his unmarked grave.
  20. https://www.kxan.com/weather/weather-blog/are-triple-digits-done-for-the-year-in-austin/ It’s a tad too early to lock in a guarantee that triple digits are over for 2024, but the odds seem to be tilted in our favor. Our long-term computer models keep highs in the 90s in Austin through the second week of September. In addition, while we do see the eventual redevelopment of high pressure to our west early next month, it doesn’t get nearly as strong as it was last week. Our ongoing wet pattern should add more moisture to the soil to help keep any brief spikes in heat to a minimum. Typically we only see three triple-digit days a year in September, and most of those come during the first half of the month. Meanwhile, we’re losing ~1.5 minutes of daylight per day, the sun is getting lower in the sky, and our typical hottest time of the year gets farther in the rearview mirror. Perhaps our best chance for triple digits to return would be if we were to see a late-day cold front approach from the north, providing compressional heating to boost temperatures prior to its arrival higher than we currently expect. That, or a down-sloping wind from the west that would also give temperatures a higher maximum than we currently are forecasting for the next two weeks. So far we’re not seeing those two scenarios in the near term.
  21. Katz's never closes, apparently. Maybe this will be harbinger of old Austin making a return. Same exact location. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/katzs-restaurant-owners-buy-space-in-downtown-austin/ Barry and Lisa Katz, owners of the Katz’s restaurant company, bought the property at 618 W. 6th St. in an auction, a company representative said. The acquisition is expected to close in August, and more details will be shared then, a release said. The Katzes plan to lease the second and third floors of the building.
  22. You win the internet for today.
  23. It's not just the running club. There's a similar golf club, Random Golf Club. Those douchebags play 5 somes with music blaring and don't give a shit about the people playing behind them. Douche bros cannot help themselves.
