  1. I saw a yellow helicopter with a person standing on one skid go from around Seton northwest over mopac towards national instruments on my way home around 4:30. At first I thought it was a life fight, but it seemed to just hover around different areas
  2. I've been piecing this 308 build together over the last year. I'm expecting it to be about 7 more months until I get my form 4 approved and my supressor ships. Would like to eventually put a thermal scope on it for nighttime pig hunting.
  3. I read Samuel Little was active up until 2005. I think he is the most recent, and may have the US record for victims
  4. Regarding brackish desal, SAWS has a decent setup. One thing to keep in mind, as mentioned up thread, the cost for groundwater desal considerably more economic than sea water desal because you're not having to knock out as much TDS. Plus, you also can further reduce the treatment demand if you have enough freshwater to blend it down before going to distribution. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
  5. As a more local utilization of the excess Mississippi, I think managed aquifer recharge of the Ogallala is worth investigating in more detail. My opinion is that continued dewatering of the Ogallala and high plains aquifer systems poses a a greater threat in terms of long term supply resiliency Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
  6. Saw this from earlier today. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/oberlin-court-wont-hear-appeal-in-25-million-judgment/
  7. Agreed. But, if it were capable of supplying large demands, could you imagine the legal/ regulatory shit show regarding appropriation of atmospheric water?
  8. Over the last few years there have been a number of threads on here regarding water resources related topics. I found myself trying to find a few of these today and was wishing there was a centralized repository for these, hence this thread. As the number of water users and development continue to increase both across the state and especially locally, we're likely going to have to be a bit more creative in how we manage our supplies and mitigate storm water impacts. The State has a couple of decades of experience in water supply planning, and is just wrapping up their inaugural flood plan efforts. New technologies/ strategies are being implemented to address these areas. Here's one of my favorite technical topics with local relevance: https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2022/05/austin-water-to-announce-pilot-aquifer-storage-site-by-the-end-of-next-year/ As this board seems to have quite a few bright people with diverse backgrounds and views on these subjects, I figured this would be a good place to discuss as these topics come up.
  9. Looks like you now have a solid reason to go purchase a .357 sig
  10. Solid rain for the last half hour at westgate/290
  11. Looks like probably the backside of a neighborhood sign
  12. Probably because we've already paid considerably more
  13. There was a pretty interesting feature in last months Texas Monthly regarding Slick Rick and his advocacy for psychedelics as a treatment. I don't have any form of ptsd or any out of the ordinary trauma, but just the introspection that occurs is enough to clear the board mentally, in my limited experience.
  14. The prose of that post, with how it's put together along with the descriptors...I highly doubt this occurred. This seems like obvious whoring for attention. Not unlike the 'look at the good deed I'm doing' videos that I see on LinkedIn
  15. My brain automatically started singing as I was reading that. Good to see I wasn't the only one
  16. Saw a YouTube video on the dude who got trapped in nutty putty. That has got to be about the worst way to go. I put it up there with the people who get crushed between train cars but remain alive until the cars are pulled apart.
  17. Was driving through Greeneville Tx a minute ago and noticed this guy flying around low. At first i thought he was landing, then remembered im in greenville. Training run?
  18. The Big Country is how I've described that area. Most of that area is in the upper brazos basin. I tend to think of Texas Hill country as being the in the Colorado and Guadalupe basins west of 35.
  19. The large joro looks identical to what I grew up calling a garden spider. I loved feeding those things grasshoppers as a kid.
  20. Here's a pic of some of some of the construction crew from 1942. Was one of the first construction projects my grandad worked on coming out of the CCC training. I may have an opportunity to get involved with the current work re: groundwater remediation.
