Isn’t Trump known to enjoy watersports?

Forbes is not at all what it used to be, but rather is a blog host. It’s been an unreliable pub for some time, so this is totally on brand. One thing the story omits is how users get these coins for wagers in the first place, since no cash is involved. I have some theories, but that’s just speculation, and this is a stupid reason to engage in that.

I’m going to look into what my options are, but for now, the dental chair is my main concern. Today, it was phone, tomorrow it’s dentures … maybe I’ll have some bandwidth Tuesday.

Yep. You can’t have the same account on two different devices, and the eSIM has been transferred. I do love me a deadline.

Incorrect Princess Bride quote (no “seem to”), but we’re friends, so I’ll let it slide. I guess my post stayed down. God forbid we have decent homeless people in town.

Proxy satisfaction is always nice, but we seriously brought down a property-management company in a week. That’s going to be a story I tell with pride in my nursing home.

Sorry for my delayed response. I was busy talking to my college roommate on my phone. In 20 hours after this catastrophe, having a new Pixel is a pretty good outcome. Dude drained my account, but he thankfully didn’t realize he could borrow hundreds more and cash that out. So I am only fucked to the tune of $900.

My friend showed up at 10:15 p.m., which I figured was an unreasonable hope. But he’s a good dude who knew how much this meant to me (seriously, you want burners in your corner when things go to shit [he’s not the only one, it’s just that I used his address]).

My cortisol level is not quite back to baseline, but my veins are no longer throbbing out of my middle-aged hands, so, you know, baby steps.

I won’t even be able to know the scope of how fucked I am until I have my new phone set up, which now looks to be tomorrow.

Well, I’ve certainly now learned this $1,250 lesson. The big question is next steps.

Unfortunately, this is precisely the wrong week to rely on the burner community, given Flipside being upcoming and the load-out already having taken place yesterday.

Counterpoint: They’re cheap, uncaring assholes.

Because there aren’t a lot of people in Austin on here. And I’ve been vehemently arguing against broad-brush arguments that the homeless are a bunch of drug-addicted thieves just in the past week.

The universe, it seems, has a wonderful sense of irony.

I love Beehaw and the Beeple. A local issue is not served by Lemmy.

I’m not going to look back into it, but I seem to recall the camp was about religious indoctrination, not safety. The former is paramount in Texas.

Here’s an idea: Rebuild on higher ground so you’re out of the floodplain. Government has rejected doing anything sensible like installing warning sirens in event of flood, so this is where we’re at.

What’s additionally fucked up is the state of our police department. There’s zero point in filing a report. They simply do not care about the livelihoods of residents; essentially, unless there’s a current risk of bodily harm, they just don’t respond.

Just sitting in a parked car with another squad car (well, they’re usually SUVs at this point) is way easier than doing any policing.

This is simply the reality we’ve come to accept. We nominally have a police force, but they’re still salty after an attempt to divert funds to things like social services and mental health that got the Legislature called into a special session a few years back to make it illegal to lower police budgets. (I shit you not, y’all; anytime Austin attempts anything progressive, Hot Wheels calls a special session to make the new ordinance/plans illegal at the state level.)

They’ve now got a giant budget, but still do nothing, because that’s just easier. No matter how fucked you think Texas is, I guarantee it’s worse.

At the request of the Steward family, who wants the Guadalupe River site to be preserved for evidence, Travis County state District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble last month temporarily blocked Camp Mystic from renovating or altering it.

I have no fucking clue why this case is being handled in Travis County court.

It takes a big man to kill a bunch of kids. Usually with control of the U.S. military.

No, perp was shot by cops after stealing a car.

Given that Trump is as crazy as he is as a teetotaler, he sure does like to surround himself with alcoholics. Maybe Patel has to drink to keep his eyes in his head.
