  1. Agreed. But, if it were capable of supplying large demands, could you imagine the legal/ regulatory shit show regarding appropriation of atmospheric water?
  2. 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.
  3. Looks like you now have a solid reason to go purchase a .357 sig
  4. Nvm
  5. Solid rain for the last half hour at westgate/290
  6. Blancolirio?
  7. Looks like probably the backside of a neighborhood sign
  8. Calibration/ testing exercise
  9. Probably because we've already paid considerably more
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. My brain automatically started singing as I was reading that. Good to see I wasn't the only one
  13. 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.
  14. 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?
  15. 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.
  16. The large joro looks identical to what I grew up calling a garden spider. I loved feeding those things grasshoppers as a kid.
  17. 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.
  18. Anyone else enjoying today's OXY rocket ride?
  19. Question for folks that may know: I was reading up on descriptions of the thermobaric weapons, and I understood them to be similar to BLEVE explosions. Is that an accurate association?
  20. CNN just ran a story saying it was destroyed, though not sure if they were confirming or just reporting the rumor
  21. Call an ambulance if you're concerned about the roads. I wouldn't fuck around and give that thing a chance to rupture.
  22. On mine, the peg board is on hidden track assembly that's integral/riveted to the main body. There are a couple of angle brackets that you install on the bench when it's raised to secure in place. Not sure if they sell this assembly separately. I installed a couple of Rubbermaid FastTrack shelves above the peg board (high enough not to bump my head) and store my lumber on that. I'd take a picture, but my garage is embarrassingly messy at the moment
  23. I was thinking about doing something like that, but I ended up building a tall workbench on 4in casters and mounted my vice and bench grinder. The table height on the Milwaukee bench sucks for me when I'm doing stand up work. I mainly use it when tinkering with parts and various small mechanical breakdowns (sitting).
  24. I bought the same bench a couple of summers ago. Big fan of it.
