  1. Abbott needs blame for the increase in border crossings since he started busing them out of the state. That has to be seen as a plus for anyone crossing into Texas.
  2. So many people lost on the roads this morning
  3. I never thought about it or considered it until mid 40's....Based on my experience, your body will let you know if and when you need/want it.
  4. A lot of the AirBNB/VRBO went from trying to help pay on their long term investment they personally used to trying to use it as an income source. Probably better options for the time/capital required.
  5. Would have thought Eastside EC would do it before LASA. Eastside is a waste of everyone's Friday night at this point. Feel sorry for the few kids who care for them.
  6. They charge you $35 if below level where you picked it up at. (More than 5% diff). What sucks is you don't know how charged they are too on reservation. Could be 60%....hope you weren't counting on fully charged like the gas vehicles on pickup
  7. 53 here... huge Hal Higdon fan. Everything needed is free on his website - click on level and scroll down and will see training calendar. Has apps if that's your thing too. https://www.halhigdon.com/training/half-marathon-training/ I really liked the - just do this - here's a plan, you'll be good approach. There are likely better programs for time, etc but highly recommend his plans until you decide you need something else. Off running days perfect for working in lifting (something I wish I did/do more of) Just know on any of the running programs, "run" usually means at a pace where you could hold a conversation with someone while doing it. ie. slow down while building up distance to avoid injuries. I'll usually just repeat a program or time things (repeat a week, etc) so hits race weekend accordingly.
  8. What's the catch on them listing Prop 3 for E-Verify? It has wide support on both sides of the aisles, but I feel like it's been buried from the top for years now. What's different now?
  9. Adding to others, unless driving is something you really enjoy (my parents like driving as much as "seeing sights"... something needs to be cut. At most (still likely too much) I would fly into Phoenix and one way through Grand Canyon, Bryce, MOAB, and then Colorado flying out of Denver.
  10. Well they certainly aren't paying for anyone to develop their app/service. Worst one out there. They still haven't fixed the issue where after a commercial break it jumps back to the previous commercial break. I thought it was just me but plenty of people complaining of it online. Been going on 3 months plus.
  11. I'm amazed the social networks have banned the son of the one of the founding fathers of fake news. Jay it's time to maybe start a new family tradition.
  12. Well yeah it's night shift and maybe they are exaggerating the numbers some but that's what's been told to me. You're also likely driving during overlap periods where there are effectively twice the officers on patrol (on purpose during busy times during shift changes). For night shift it's incredibly hard to convince normally younger officers who want to spend time with their young family to instead work at nights when everything bad typically happens. You make them do it and hope you can manage it so they don't decide to relocate somewhere else.
  13. Ask an officer, that's not a typical number but it's occurring. As for 1,800 officers, that's the budgeted number. Actual number barely 1,400 right now. Losing patrol faster than anyone and once others get moved to patrol they are finding new jobs outside Austin quickly.
  14. This was Jaromir Jagr at his jersey retirement ceremony yesterday 🤣
  15. should just start shooting at empty net from other net after 5....more entertaining
  16. There aren't enough officers right now. Any given shift there are sometimes only 30-40 officers for the entire city of Austin.
  17. I believe so... saw described last month as "getting the death penalty" equivalent for a business.
  18. I've got no problem calling out the people for filming when they are in a position to potentially do something. For all they know someone's kid was just dying in front of them and they decided to film it because we as a society have decided that is more important than actually saving the person.
  19. Come on man, there was multiple life threatening injuries to adults and kids in this accident needing attention. They responded, maybe not perfectly but they responded. There isn't a exact playbook for this. ER waiting room isn't a place you typically are going to find your most well rested, ready to quicky act crowd on a good day.
  20. Narrator: He won't. I'll be shocked it he's still on the team by fall.
  21. Number 121 on that list has always been pro-public education and has recently been stepping things up to insure Dunn's voucher campaign isn't about money raising. He's giving money to anyone, especially GOP who vote against it and support public education. I'm hoping he starts going on the offense even more.
  22. For anyone hosting a "Voyager 1 - 1st Light Year" party... they have roughly another 18,000 years to plan for it
  23. They view big business/corporate farming and immigrant labor as being tied together and reliant of each other. It's not "most" relying on it, it's the corporate farmers that they hate relying on it.
