  1. Lots of punches thrown, not sure any got knocked out. Dude at the end swinging the chair is taking things a little far. https://www.al.com/news/2023/08/montgomery-riverwalk-brawl-captured-on-video-several-detained-by-police.html?outputType=amp Multiple videos posted to social media suggest the brawl started when a pontoon boat stopped at the riverfront, preventing a riverboat from docking there. Witnesses said a riverboat worker was attacked by people onboard the pontoon boat. Efforts to confirm these accounts were not immediately successful. 15jopb3.mp4
  2. So this pops up on Slickdeals every now and then. People are saying it's a good buy if you are exec and Visa cash back means it's 4% off. Even so, where can a person sell this physical good and make that 4% margin? https://slickdeals.net/f/16839371-costco-members-1oz-9999-pamp-fine-gold-suisse-lady-fortuna-veriscan-bar-1929-99?src=frontpage_recombee&prop=rcmid-51d9d671efe5900d1ef2db99c68e678f No, I am not buying this. Just trying to understand who this would make any financial sense/
  3. I'm guessing he wasn't allowed to play in any reindeer games.
  4. Supposedly no one was seriously injured. In the link, there's a Facebook post which confirms this but fuck Facebook so I don't know what it said.
  5. What I am missing? I aint see shit.
  6. https://www.fox8live.com/2023/08/03/bloody-passenger-subdued-delta-airlines-flight-landing-new-orleans-after-threatening-attendant/ A passenger on the flight, who wished to remain anonymous, reported that they were called to offer medical assistance to the unruly man, identified as 39-year-old Nelson Montgomery, who was already bleeding profusely from his neck. In an unexpected escalation, the witness tells Fox 8 that Montgomery pulled a flight attendant into a chokehold, brandishing what appeared to be a shard of broken glass against the attendant’s neck and threatening to ‘cut off her head’ if anyone got too close. The witness says it took the combined effort of eight people to subdue Montgomery until law enforcement could board the plane finally. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office apprehended Montgomery upon landing. “Next thing I know she’s in a rear naked choke and he’s got a shot glass to her throat,” a passenger told Fox 8. “He had already cut his throat. He was already bleeding when he came up to the front. There was a blood trail on the seats where he was touching seats as he came through.” Deputies say he is currently receiving medical treatment for his injuries and will be booked with aggravated battery, disturbing the peace and simple battery. The flight attendant involved in the incident suffered minor injuries, with deputies reporting two cuts that were treated at the scene.
  7. Bastrop, hope like hell. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/bastrop/home-evacuations-underway-due-to-bastrop-wildfire/ BASTROP, Texas (KXAN) — First responders said they’re working Tuesday afternoon to evacuate homes as a “precautionary measure” because of a wildfire burning near Bastrop State Park. The fire, which is now called the Powder Keg Pine Fire, is estimated at 30 acres and is 10% contained, according to the Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management.
  8. God is punishing Florida. I curse you with Leprosy! https://abcnews.go.com/Health/cases-leprosy-florida-rise-cdc/story?id=101876654 Cases of leprosy are rising in Florida, according to a new analysis published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) journal. Although the disease is still rare in the U.S. -- with just 159 cases reported in 2020 -- a study released Monday from the EID and shared by the CDC found that Central Florida accounts for a bulk of those cases. Central Florida appears to have the highest concentration of cases in the Sunshine State, with the region accounting for nearly one-fifth of reported cases in the U.S. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/29/8/22-0367_article Central Florida, in particular, accounted for 81% of cases reported in Florida and almost one fifth of nationally reported cases (3). Whereas leprosy in the United States previously affected persons who had immigrated from leprosy-endemic areas, ≈34% of new case-patients during 2015–2020 appeared to have locally acquired the disease (4). Several cases in central Florida demonstrate no clear evidence of zoonotic exposure or traditionally known risk factors.
  9. I have a friend who two years ago purchased a house in Minneapolis. For obvious reasons, he's spending much of this summer there. He fucking loves it and can't wait to move there permanently.
  10. If we hated our kids, we would probably retire in Europe. Damn kids.
  11. If you get upstream from where Barton Creek enters Town Lake, it's nice. It's basically the same water as Lake Austin. The further west you go on Town Lake, the cleaner the water.
  12. I was lucky to move to Austin pre-insanity-boom. I am planning to use the equity from selling my house, downsize, and retire a few years earlier than expected. I realize I am extremely fortunate and lucky in that regard. Honestly, I am looking to be a f'ing miser in retirement with the idea of leaving my kids as much money as possible. Their generation is completely fucked through no control of their own. If I can help them anyway after I and the wife pass away, I'm going to help.
  13. Fuck buying larger. I'm going to downsize. Why pay for bedrooms and space which you have to furnish, heat/cool, and clean when it won't be used 90% of the time.
  14. O'Hara was bitching at the players when they huddled after the game. Here she is long after the whistle explaining tactics Rodman. This team needs leadership. Glad to see someone is stepping up cause It's not coming from the coaches.
  15. This is an incredible ball from Rapinoe. Morgan simply has to do better. She had all kinds of space in the box and tries a lazy cross/pass Rodman. Then she again had Rodman back post but she opts for the weak ass shot. I'm hoping it was fatigue because we should've scored there.
  16. Problem is as bad as Morgan is, she's at least least creating chances for the other attackers. She had a deft back flick to set up a goal in the Vietnam game. In the Netherland game, she had great touches to set up chances which Rodman and Smith bricked. This is a great flick to Smith. Problem is Smith doesn't even get a shot off. Here's great header to Smith in space who passed to Rodman who sent the shot wide of goal. The younger players have flashes but there's just not enough creativity as a team to produce steady chances and goals. In the 2nd half of the Netherlands game, we were most dangerous when we we came in wide and sent crosses into the middle. We didn't do any of it in the first half and we didn't do any of it in the game against Portugal. That's down to coaching. If the scheme sucks, then players have the create the chances. There just isn't enough creativity which leads to few chances. This team just isn't very good, right now. Here's hoping they get a fire in their ass and play better collectively as a team.
  17. She is definitely not the same Lavelle of the previous 2 WCs. She's lost a step. All her shots, she's got all her weight on our back foot and the balls are all field goals. She's not creating as much but I think that's a testament to her supporting cast and scheme. Everyone is just standing still at the line waiting for a through ball.
  18. Why did I bother taping and watching? I knew it was going to be the same frustrating bullshit. You just described the offense for 3 straight games. Our forwards think that they are much better than they are. Morgan, Smith, Rodman, doesn't matter, they all suck. There's a reason we can't score. Coaching is much of it. But the players are just not very good.
  19. Maybe aggy is holding that announcement for momentum purposes, confirm other commits, and string out those announcements over a few weeks? Didn't we do the same over July? Or maybe he doesn't want to be an idiot jumping on a sinking ship and is waiting to see who else commits?
