  1. The Casa de Groover's from the movie Fandango (in my avatar) was/is in Pyote. I had a pic of what I thought was the house but I can't find it /csb edit: Fuck me there are now open, operating businesses in Pyote, incl a restaurant, C-Store, and RV Park.
  2. No I was jealous of that one too. I lived in a town that was an hour from being an hour closer to something much, much, much shittier than a Walmart. If it was open.
  3. You think the majority of rural Texas is 80% Trump? 1 - that is oddly specific, so you may be right, but I would be surprised 2 - it appears your aversion to a good portion of the populace is sincerely held. So if anybody knew the specific % contagion, it would be you. I'm pretty sure I've lived in a 70% TX (or close)Trump county, and I'm sure I now live in a 70+% Biden county, and those two things would be the absolute last on my list of relevant factors in what it was like living in either. It sucks this would matter to anybody. One of them has no fucking HEB, I will tell you that. And then I will tell you again. Also forgot to mention if I had enough money of course I could live anywhere, even Oklahoma.
  4. Folks who think small town Texas sucks have not been to other States' small towns. I grew up in one and have lived in others and am pretty much jealous of every small town in Texas. For small town smack talk I'll submit my Hometown and places I've lived in were listed as ghost towns.
  5. My bad I thought the OL got credit for the first 3-4 yards regardless. Withdrawn. But I was hoping the first Bijan highlights I found did not show unblocked DL in the backfield. Call me crazy.
  6. It helps when your back makes unblocked DL miss in the backfield. That is really my only point, I only posted the video because the very first play from the first and most popular search result showed a missed block and Bijan negating it in a way very few players did last year, for a result where the stats posted gave our LG credit for a successful play when he whiffed completely.
  7. I was going to find a I love these stats, but I decided to find a run where the line gets credit for Bijan's effort. The first play of the most popular 2022 highlight vid on (my) youtube the LG misses his block almost completely and Bijan makes him miss (youtube https://youtu.be/5Mmtfmqb0MI?t=17 won't embed). I don't know that I disagree with that analysis overall but it is obviously not perfectly objective.
  8. 3 errors
  9. I would say that Nick Saban won 7 and the SEC tied him with 7 of their own, which is impressive.
  10. Been hearing an ad for surrogate mothers in the regular radio rotation (which seems to be about 85% federally-funded PSAs), as I recall the offer was $50k.
  11. That whole office was fucked due to what's-her-name and/or maybe Covid. Reportedly the new DA (newly departed now, or as of a few months ago anyway) didn't re-staff quickly or effectively or at all and tons of perps let go due to charges never being filed & etc. Not sure what happened exactly but this particular case was one of the backlog or whatever.
  12. I believe this scenario falls apart because the birth rate is 50/50 (49/51, whatever it takes) male/female so ea. generation 1/3 of the men are dropped.
  13. probably already posted on the airplane thread but this guy is my go to for this stuff
  14. I was going to reply to some of the hot takes in this thread but the multiquote feature crashed under the load.
  15. Jealous of that Pinto and IT175 setup, guess that guy's ride did not pan out.
  16. I don't know why anybody would resist a government solution to a problem that was caused by a prior government solution.
  17. Chocolate covered almonds - 78 Almond M&M's - 43 Go home chart, you're drunk.
  18. I did not want to click on this thread, and I was not disappointed.
  19. Actually if you go here 31.658531, -106.328653 you can see this avenue is blocked with a dirt dam. Maybe they clean that up when irrigation season starts. :Looks like the water actually flows into EPWU's reservoir here 31.658405, -106.328028 I think the spot I posted above is an older intake gate and the new one is at the end of the EPWID's main lateral there near the treatment plant. /csb
  20. EPWU already sued EBID several years ago for this (as farmers all started pumping fucktons of wellwater in the face of fractional surface allotments and running El Paso's wells dry), after being themselves sued by EBID 30 or so years ago for the same thing (pumping down EBID's riverwater via their wells). I believe one of the wells in the latter court case is here 31.958435, -106.604246 If you want to google that you'll see it is inside the river levee, maybe 20 yards from the riverwater, if there is any flowing, about 3 miles south of the NM/TX border. Once you are in Texas surface water regulation transfers from EBID to El Paso County Water Improvement or somesuch, they can and do sell water to EPWU although I have no idea how much, and they take that out of the river here: 31.658513, -106.329547
  21. Having a hard time finding more recent, but here is Elephant Butte Reservoir reported Acre Feet of water, 1915 - 2017. Nice when its full, which is almost never.
