  1. LOL... the "sophisticated" group apparently climbed the outside ladder to get on the roof, used the roof hatch to enter the building, opened the vault and then cut a hole in the side of the building to leave.... as none of these activities were being watched and no alarms were activated at "GuardAWorld" facility...

    Not an attack on you but I don’t see how K-12 grades work if there are always kids out of school for non-emergencies. Or has school become completely worthless and now operate only as babysitters?

    Biggest issue my wife's school faces is lack of substitute teachers. No one wants to sub as pay sucks and kids treat subs like their parents treat school.

    Without subs they have to split the class into other classes for the day...so your class of 25 3rd graders just because 30+ for the day even though you only have room for 25 desks.... Etc...

    Which I mentioned to the front office when explaining why my son's district was stupid for not building in a day off for the eclipse. They have like 8 random days off throughout the year. 

    But yeah, he's going to be sick Monday. 

    Our district is forcing the kids to have to learn about it together. Excused absence though with note.

    No to go CR, but how they SBF get arrest, tried, convicted in seemingly no time at all while folks like Paxton and Trump see their stuff go on forever?

    I'm guessing it's a case of no one is really debating the facts in the case and the facts show clear crimes combined with his entire executive team singing to the prosecutors.

    You’d probably know better than me, but in my opinion it’s changed the makeup of the risk pool from veterans to mostly civilians, and that’s otherwise equalized the claims between it and other insurers (where previously they could afford to be cheaper because veterans were more likely to be risk averse, I.e., not speeding, not letting deferred maintenance on a house get out of hand, etc.).  
     

    When I had USAA I watched my car insurance double in two years because I lived in 78702, or so they told me. 

    Is USAA still tiered, where Officers and such get better rates?  I know I was CIC (child of) member and I ended up shopping USAA around about 4 years ago. Once hail claim for roof and no auto claims in 28yrs and I was able to cut my auto by 50% and my home owners by almost 70% for almost identical coverage.  They made it real clear they didn't care and thanks for not shopping around sooner. Kicking myself for not doing just that.

    Propofol is awesome. I can understand why Michael Jackson got addicted to the stuff.

    Same. If I ever win powerball... reminds me... gotta get a ticket now.

  7. Report that ship had radioed it's power issue and police were able to stop all bridge traffic within 2 minutes. All missing/died were construction workers filling potholes on the bridge 

    As a second officer arrived on one side and officer radioed he was going to drive the bridge to alert the construction crew when seconds later it collapsed before he was able to.

    Eleven. I’m a moron.

    3+2+3+3=11

    No. That’s why they work. They force drivers to do what they should always be doing anyway: pay attention.

    That’s why these arguments are so funny. There is literally not a single example of a traffic circle or roundabout replacing a controlled intersection in the state of Texas in the last 30 years that did not yield both better traffic flow and reduced injury accidents. 
    but sure, we’ve got to watch what other drivers are doing. Huge problem. 

    Can the word "injury" be removed from this sentence or do they cause more accidents, just less "injury" accidents?

  9. This is beyond ridiculous... Much be nice to be held to different rules.

    “But let me be clear, at no time was he going to enter any plea bargain agreement or admit to conduct that simply did not occur,” Cogdell said in a statement. “There is no admission of any wrongdoing on Ken’s part in the agreement because there was no wrongdoing on his part.”

     

    Still won't and doesn't have to admit what he did was actually wrong.
