CIVIL disobedience. You can’t give them an excuse to escalate. They do dumb shit, they look terrible on t.v., but the moment a protestor crosses that line, it’ll be plastered everywhere and used as an excuse for escalation.

Fuck ICE.

I’m not arguing with your post, just one of your sources.

I live in Houston and was really interested in what that article has to say, because based on your comment, I thought, “Am I wrong? Was I misled by bad information and failed to do my due diligence?”

Nope, that article about Houston flooding is absolute trash.

One of his points he’s like, “I don’t even know what that means.”

One point he argues more green space would lead to more paved surfaces and then doesn’t really explain how that supposedly works.

Another point he says something along the lines of, “Like, I guess an argument COULD be made that some people were impacted because developers built on a flood plain…”

GTFO with that bullshit article.

Yeah, Harvey dropped more rain than the land, that was overbuilt, could have absorbed, but that was just one of the contributing man caused factors.

There was always going to be flooding from Harvey, but it was WAY worse than it should have been if proper planning had been used. But Houston, like Texas as a whole, seems allergic to zoning and real urban planning development.

Developers always have been and always will be happy to build anywhere, and cut every possible corner they can, as long as it stands for the for the 10 years they still have a warranty.

You misunderstand. I went to from the A71 to the 6. I am only recently on the 9.

I am glad you have had a better experience than me. I am pretty happy with Pixel now but I am going to try the Graphene route this weekend.

I appreciate your response.

It was constantly giving out mistaken SOS messages. It would lock up and I’d have to constantly reset.

The final straw was when I was travelling to a work site I had never been to before. It locked up with a static screen and refused to reset. I had to stop at a gas station, at 4am, actually talk to another person and buy a map.

It was slow, buggy, constantly trying to get me to use their Samsung store, .etc…

When I moved to Pixel, it gave me the iPhone experience where shit just worked. And it integrated more things for me, which was convenient at the time. (But now I know it is scraping the fuck out of everything I do/see/hear.)

I just upgraded to the 9 and assume it’s scraping every bit of data it can from me. I will do it this weekend.

Sorry, no way I am going back to Samsung. I had the A71 and it was a TERRIBLE smart phone. I switched to the Pixel 6 and it was night and day.

I just need to get off my ass and install Graphene.

This has absolutely nothing to do with national security and everything to do with billionaires who stand to make even more money off the oil industry.

I’m of two minds on this.

1. WTF, Trump. Was the genocide in Gaza meant to antagonize Iran into a war from day one. But when they didn’t, Israel attacked anyway and then rhenU.S. was like, fuck it lets go?

2. Don’t give a shit about Iran. They are no better than Israel or the U.S.

A pox on both… on all three of their houses. Make it 5, fuck Russia and China too.

I feel like having a qualified person perform the installation is more important than the actual permit.

I understand why people don’t want this requirement though, it will add at least a couple hundred more dollars to the cost.

IMHO, though, a couple hundred dollars more up front, is worth the headaches down the road from a shitty install.

I mean when comparing Spaceballs to Young Frankenstein or Blazing Saddles, I can see the argument for it not being great.

It is definitely not one of his better movies.

I still kind of like it though and I will support almost any Mel Brooks vehicle. At least just for the off chance we get another glorious movie like Blazing Saddles.

Classic Mel.

I hope Bill Pullman’s son is in this too as Lonestar’s son. And his name is Bob.

It blows me away how fucking easily my fellow countrymen are led by their god damned nose.

Closet fucking fascists, all of them, and too stupid to recognize simple fucking fallacies.

My life sucks, ooh it must be because an illegal committed a crime. Even though immigrants have a lower crime rate than our ever present white trash.

Not really worried about any Tumu carriers.

RTO is now just a tactic to force people to quit.

Fun fact: USN Aircraft Carriers have their own ICAO code.

Thank for taking the time to respond.

It’s not that big, as far as surface area goes and our soil is claylike.

Guying it is a great idea, thank you.

Dude, how many stories of Muslim father’s that go fucking crazy over their daughter seeing an “infidel”, have you ignored to not understand that there is a real risk she could be under?

Don’t mean to hi-jack this post but I am getting good advice.

I feel 4’ x 18" hole, for a 20’ (above ground height, so 24’ overall) x 3" pole, backfilled with cement, should be good enough to support 40 lbs of bat house + bats and not worry about winds.

(North of Houston so sometimes tornados, but not the Dorothy going to Oz kind, just little 5 minute ones that blow fences down and the occasional roof.)

Does this give anyone heartburn?
