2021 Rain Thread
When all of this is over it would be interesting to compare this summer to Summer 2007. I would guess May-June-July ‘07 had a higher rainfall amount but this summer has had more days of measurable rain.

Fat People
I was reading a story a couple months ago about an individual and his weight loss journey. I don’t remember the specifics but when he started he was in the 5’9” - 5’10 range and around 350lbs. Like many of you suggested, he documented everything he consumed. But, taking it one step further, he also journaled his friends and families reactions so he could use it as motivation along the way. What he found was interesting and ultimately became the greater “story” within his story. Almost all of the feedback he received the first 100-120 lbs of his weight loss were what you expected: constant encouragement, praisings of his physical appearances, offers from people to join him on his morning walks, near constant pats on the back, etc. However, as he continued to lose the weight he ultimately fell below the “normal” weight of that of his social group and he began noticing the responses from his friends changed drastically. Suddenly the comments of “you look great, keep up the good work!” gave way to “don’t you feel like you’ve earned a break?” and near constant pushing of people urging him to sneak in a dessert or two, encouraging to incorporate more cheat days and meals into his diet, etc. The last 20lbs of his journal basically became people non-stop trying to talk him out of everything they had praised him for the first year+ The piece went much more in depth on the matter but the crux of it was everyone was encouraging of his actions until it ultimately turned the mirror on them.

Are all Restaurants Understaffed now (2021)?
Totally anecdotal but during my Saturday morning beer run this morning I noticed, perhaps for the first time ever, HEB was completely out of ice. It may just be coincidental but that was the first time I’d ever seen that occur.

ERCOT Urging For Energy Conservation
I know nothing about ERCOTs security features but I would imagine, given recent past performances, they’re ripe for the next big hack by a foreign source.

The Mick Foley one was great. What a good man. I hope his body and mind allow him to continue to stay sharp because he brings about a lot of good in this world.

At some point we need these rains to train over the Perdenales. Thus far the last three weeks have done jack to Travis.

Another good rain storm right now in Central Austin. lol at almost all the forecasts showing a dry Memorial Day Weekend just as recently as Wednesday/Thursday. Are we still pretty certain the sun will come out today or are we looking at clouds all morning and afternoon?

Remember June ‘07 when there was measurable rainfall in like 25 of the 30 days? That was kinda nice for the lakes.

KXAN better bring Uncle Jim back out of retirement for this. Although on second thought, he was filling in for David Suits on Tuesday and he predicted less than 10% chance of rain for today. So maybe the game has passed him by. Who knows. Turn my fahking power back on.

I stand by the post I made back in February when I went 98 hours without power. If this lasts more than 18 hours, I’m posting Adler’s cell on both Surly and Reddit. FAAFO

Apparently all of NW Hills is out. All told, I think I’ve spent about two weeks without power the first five months of this year.

Bye bye Luby's
So what’s the actual latest? I went back in September and nearly consumed a double LuAnn expecting it to be my last but so far, everything appears to be business as usual. They’re likely going to end up keeping the better performing units right? …right?

My favorite part of this list of nearly fifty potential sites, is that the city has left open the possibility that the final determining site, may not in fact, be included on this list. I guess the next list will include elementary schools and retirement homes.- 2021 Rain Thread
Central Austin will be lucky to get .5” out of this “5-10” storm’.- 2021 Rain Thread
That much rain in the right spot would take Lake Travis from about 659’ to 685’+ in about 72-96 hours.- Pizza
I think my favorite go-to beer of any Texas brewers is St. Arnold's Art Car IPA. Damn near perfect IPA imo. And Tony C’s has it on draft. It’s my go-to.- UAP Pentagon Report (UFOs, Foo Fighters, Commie Drones)
I get the automatic default to Russia/China but don’t these things supposedly move at speeds which are, at best, the extreme upper limits of what we would hope to accomplish in the next 100+ years? I have a hard time believing we’re that far behind technologically. - A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
