  1. You can’t tease like that and no names? Crossroads in Carmel is the only one nearby that’s decent and it’s not as good as Rudy’s. Donde esta?
  2. It’s wild how invested some dumbasses are in dunking on Cali. I’ve only been here full time a year but I’m never leaving, and I spent my entire adult life before that in Texas. The scenery, the weather, the food is so good it’s hard to believe. Yes it’s fucking expensive as hell, especially the closer you get to spots that are like paradise on earth, but what do you expect? I love bbq and miss that, I miss my swimming pool and the feel of Texas heat (very occasionally), but I don’t miss the anger in people that I was noticing more and more, and definitely don’t miss my allergies or the traffic in Austin. I’m sorry for the folks that don’t get it. Truly.
  3. Texas has enough water to continue growing with smart management. Increase reuse and get rid of waste. But it’s unlikely to happen without crisis. Unfortunately that’s the way in the state. This next go round will be driven by the growth currently under way and will happen once aquifers go down enough for the imposition of development moratoria. Which is coming in the next ten years. Hell it’s already happening in some of the towns north of Austin but no one will say it out loud. Right now a bunch of different pipes are being run from the Simsboro and Corrizo back to central Texas. When those draw down they are out of options and direct reuse from wastewater will start.
  4. The worst poster on this site and you guys keep quoting him. Thanks assholes.
  5. Well that was all a big letdown for those of us expecting kinetic action, but overall I don’t think it could have gone worse for Putin. This was his hand picked guy completely going off the reservation and making him look weak and not in control. The digging of trenches across highways, officials fleeing Moscow, the lack of response by the security services all point to panic and complete surprise. I agree with the assessment that this does nothing to cause a decrease in effort in Ukraine as that die was cast and he has doubled and tripled down on it. If he loses Crimea , which he will, he’s toast anyway. But there is chaos coming in Russia. You can see it by the response to their mutiny. Which by the way is a lot better way to describe this weekend adventure than a coup.
  6. I know Reddit isn’t the most popular now but r/noncredibledefense is so good…
  7. Luka is in Turkey. He’s gonzo. The reporting will take a while to catch up.
  8. Couple of other thoughts… Remember the “ammo shortage” claimed by Wagner? What if they were stockpiling for this? And what if there is already something put in place in other cities besides Rostov and Voronezh? I knew playing Russian Front as a kid would pay off some day.
  9. I’m about to be out of pocket for about six hours so hopefully no nukes are launched and everyone just kind of holds their position until it’s convenient for me to resume. Fuck yeah this is awesome as a history buff. Russia always delivers on drama and excitement.
  10. It’s moving too fast to keep track of but apparently Putin has left Moscow (he’s from St Pete) so it’s getting very real.
  11. Yeah for the record I want to see the Chechechen TikTok brigade in battle. Live. On TikTok. With comments.
  12. There is absolutely no chance this is fake. It’s been happening in slow motion for a while since Bakhmut. Wagner is finished either way after Ukraine, so Prigozhin sees this as his last chance. And the amount of private planes headed to Turkey from Russia tells you this is real.
  13. Do you buy 10 dollar bananas? If not how could you relate?
  14. First sunshine we’ve had in many weeks yesterday, it was glorious. Today just as nice but I’m working. I think the high may get to 65.
  15. Yes for bacteria passive filters work. But for troops on the move, and for non central distribution I think bottles will be needed. The bigger issue is time. A full on epidemic can happen quickly if sewage contaminated water is drunk.
  16. Well said fellow connoisseur of feces and filters.
  17. Yes except the bacteria can’t tell Russians from Ukrainians. So hopefully there is a plan for interim water supply as the Russians retreat, but more likely there is going to be some widespread shitty disease for a while.
  18. The thing about cholera and other water borne diseases is once they start spreading it’s really hard to stop them. It requires a concerted and deliberate cleanup with delivery of clean water and sanitation improvements which are tough to accomplish in peace time. Given the Russians lack of any rear echelon organization this could get ugly fast.
  19. I miss some things from my 30 plus years in Texas but summer heat isn’t one.
  20. Seriously that should be prosecutable. How the hell can you do that on debt? I guess it’s true that if you owe the bank a few thousand you have problems but if you owe them 300 million they have the problem.
  21. Eggs dropped by their largest percentage since 1991, because OEEC didn’t impose reductions in their egg cartel production.
  22. Stonk life baby. If it goes to 30 cents I’ll buy another 5000 shares. I can’t put baller money in any of this. That goes to pay college tuition.
  23. $20K seems high to resurface right? I haven't started getting quotes so maybe not. Not sure what modernizing the drain means. 20k doesn’t seem too high, depending on the new material. Especially one with pebble finish. If it’s just regular plaster it’s too high. I miss my pools. Especially as summer begins. Nothing beats that first swim in the scorching heat.
