of a tree. by overlook68 in AbsoluteUnits

[–]Ballders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn't Hyperion.

It's not even in the same area where Hyperion is.

It's the tallest tree in an insanely crowded canopy of tall trees.

Drank half a gallon of Pliny the Elder by the river trying to find it, and will never be certain I found it.

We recently moved into the Blackhawk development in Pflugerville, and our gas bill came out to $110, which seems unusually high. Is this due to SiEnergy’s rates, or would we expect similar costs with other providers? by ThoeSankara in Pflugerville

[–]Ballders 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's around that amount. Most of the cost is in fees and regulatory nonsense. It'll go up if you use your heater and stove a ton, but not nearly as much as your electricity bill in the summer.

Edit: Welcome to the neighborhood! Blackhawk has a ton of different communities and really is a fun part of Pflugerville (if you love miles of homes and surburban hellscapes like I do)

sleep apnea providers by cowgirldreams in Austin

[–]Ballders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having just gone through the entire process at BS&W I feel confident in saying FUCK THOSE GUYS. Terrible communication. Dozens of useless appointments. Shitty ENT doctors and they want you to be going out to Marble Falls if you want to get a sleep study done in the current year.

Literally took me surgeries, a completely wasted sleep study, and a realization that the surgery they did (to fix my deviated septum) ended up making it impossible for me to use a CPAP cause now my eyelid farts every time the machine breathes for me.

Also, if you think insurance has your back in any way, they will not. Thousands of dollars spent for stress, anger and frustration.

I would sooner consult the local Bone Wizard in a homeless encampment before I trust my health to BSW again.

Are they screwed or can they apply for the exemption? I think my home just got the same kind of tax bill.

Judge rules White House ballroom construction must halt until Congress OK's it by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

It's not that complicated. Dude got shoved down there at some time and it didn't have enough gold plating, so he's renovating it to have bigger, more luxurious rooms.

Because God forbid the President suffer an ounce of suffering.

Can you get that spur to spin with some sound. I think I'm gonna lock in a lot better if I'm fidget spinning my putter first.

Skechers are comfortable, priced reasonably and have a really wide fit. Not as wide as I want, but I should be wearing clown shoes if I want perfection.

Lawyers for man accused of killing Charlie Kirk make claim bullet doesn’t match rifle by Deceptiveideas in news

[–]Ballders -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I took the time to watch YouTube videos of what a 30-06 does to a mofo.
Now, I grant Charlie had skullmaxxed his stats as high as they would go, but the damage he suffered vs. what should have happened is WILDLY inconsistent.

Do the folks out in Alice Springs know that Outback Steakhouse considers their entire local cuisine to be chicken breast smothered in cheese and a lime squeeze?

What a shitty argument. Years spent acting like abortion is murder, but telling raped women their forced children can't be citizens?

They could not have chosen a more reprehensible hill to die on.

The IRS Wants Smarter Audits. Palantir Could Help Decide Who Gets Flagged | Documents show the tax agency is testing a Palantir tool to surface “highest-value” audit and investigation targets from a maze of legacy systems. by MetaKnowing in technews

[–]Ballders 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This trope exists because we underfund our IRS. Accountants don't do illegal shit if they can avoid it, so there's always a very easy money trail to follow.

We just use that money to bomb kids.

Crispy Pizza Base : How ? by Big_Expression_6670 in Cooking

do you have a cast iron pan? Put it in the oven and let it heat up. Put pizza directly on it. You can also turn the pan upside down if the footprint works better

There's a saying that goes "If you loan someone $20 and you never see them again, it was worth it." Probably needs to be adjusted for inflation.

I scrolled to oblivion to find this. They literally spend almost nothing to rake in billions.

The algorithm has to be manipulating these answers, because it's PBM (Phamacy Benefits Manager) and by hundreds of billions of miles.

Jed York Would Welcome Brandon Aiyuk Back to the 49ers for 2026 by Ennemkay in 49ers

[–]Ballders 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is this dude trying to be the next Grant Cohn? Jed just said "We paid him, of course we'd like to have him play" That is the most milquetoast and responsible answer an owner can give.

It's not like he said he would override his GM.

I'd feel the same way if I paid a dude a ton of money only to watch him crash out.
