  1. Kinda sucks that just as I get interested in maybe getting a Tesla (Model 3 Performance) Musk goes full MAGA. OTOH based on what I see on Tesla forums it seems like his cars have pretty sloppy QC, maybe I'm better off staying away.
  2. Maybe I don't understand this law, or Musk's objection to it. Is Musk angry that public schools in CA can't be gender police? Is that what schools are for?
  3. 76 seems kinda young for a fitness guy.
  4. For some reason my booze addled brain parsed this as Danica, as in Patrick. And I gotta say, I'd enjoy seeing her try her luck at F1.
  5. Maybe it's just me but it seems like the accuracy of modeling for hurricanes making landfall on the Texas coast is a lot worse than it is for hurricanes making landfall elsewhere in gulf states or the Atlantic coast. I get there is always uncertainty, but 48 hours ago weren't we projecting Brownsville as the center of the track? That's like forecasting a landfall at Daytona Beach, FL but instead it happens at Charleston SC.
  6. Dammit why won't this cluster of showers move east of 35,
  7. These sharks aren't malicious, they're just trying to warn people about the hurricane.
  8. Sorry for my coastal friends, but I feel like anything less than a Cat 2 at landfall will just evaporate into nothing before getting to central TX.
  9. https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/judge-rejects-paxtons-efforts-to-shut-down-el-paso-migrant-shelter/ Judge Francisco Dominguez sided with the shelter, sharply criticizing Paxton’s legal action as “outrageous and intolerable,” accusing him of acting outside of his authority for political motivations. “The Attorney General’s conduct in harassing and pursuing predetermined outcomes, without regard to the rights of Annunciation House’s employees and guests is imminent, ongoing and irreparable,” Dominguez wrote.
  10. All that stuff we grew up hearing about--freedom, democracy, the rights and liberties enshrined in our Constitution, our finely tuned system of checks and balances, equality for everyone before the law--they are tearing it all down. A lot of it was propaganda that we never lived up to anyway, but they were ideals I still believed in and hoped we could incrementally achieve. We should all go on a general strike until we get a new Constitution that bans corporate and dark money campaign contributions, explicitly frames the separation of church and state, puts term limits on all offices including the Supreme Court, and eliminates the electoral college (or at least, apportions EVs fractionally in proportion to the popular vote in the state).

  11. Max is just a Dutch Dale "the Intimidator" Earnhardt.

    In 2016, Obama should have made a recess appointment or whatever to put Garland on the bench. I would have declared that the Senate was afforded an ample opportunity to "advise and consent" on Garland, and abdicated that responsibility. Should have used US Army or National Guard troops to escort Garland up the steps if you had to.
  13. I posted it to Youtube, but just let me know if you want it taken down. It;s too good to not share with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMoj3FmmGWM
  14. As the crow flies, it's only 130 miles from downtown Austin to Lavaca Bay. Edit: beaten by Bolverk. I should read the whole thread before replying to stuff.

    I need want my own private complex of underground ICBM silos. For self defense. (The 2nd refers to Arms, not just guns.)
  16. Wouldn't mind seeing Russian air defenses degraded to the point where we could impose a NATO no-fly zone over strategic areas...
  17. I began my carefully curated collection of original paintings 25 years ago with a scintillating vista of an alien landscape crafted by an anonymous master artist working on the sidewalk on 6th street. He used nothing more than some spray cans and folded newspaper, but the result was spectacular. It's displayed proudly as the centerpiece of my art room.
  18. but the NWS forecast this AM said "heavy rain" tonight
  19. At Monaco they should go full retro--make all the teams change to small vintage-style cars from the '60s, and bring back hay bales etc. for barriers.
  20. Just curious, are there fish in Waller Creek?
  21. You can see that the line north of Austin put the brakes on and doesn't want to come any further south. Keep the hail away but I need some rain to wash in the ironite and weed/feed I just put down in anticipation of this.
  22. Yesterday I swear KXAN's forecast said 90% chance of rain on Sunday. Now it's 50%. The NWS forecast said periods of very heavy rain. Now it doesn't. The fuck is going on.
  23. "Bad with rain" does not compute
  24. I don't know if Paxton has any actual evidence of a crime being committed, but regardless this is a really shitty thing to do. How do you sleep at night, you fucking cockeyed carpetbagger. https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/paxton-moves-to-shut-down-charity-housing-undocumented-migrants/
