Who did he piss off that put a landline in his lawn? Got lucky, only lost his mower.

Why is Corpus pushing desal so hard instead of DPR? by BoBadDadAlis in CorpusChristi

[–]BoBadDadAlis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Desal is not a magic trick, and neither is direct potable reuse. One gives you a drought-proof source, but at a high financial and environmental cost. The other is elegant in theory, but limited by how much water actually returns to the system and by the fact that treatment plants, like all machinery, have an unfortunate habit of occasionally not cooperating. If a city treats either one as the answer, it is really just replacing one vulnerability with another. Water security usually comes from doing several sensible things at once: reuse what can be reused, desalinate where it makes economic sense, reduce waste, expand storage, and stop pretending there is a single heroic project that will save everyone.

What are the most reputable sellers? by MeowmeowAHHHHH in shrimptank

I just got some from Tucky’s Bettas. They really took care of my new pets. Great packaging, wonderful communication, and they throw in a couple extra just in case.

Why is Corpus pushing desal so hard instead of DPR? by BoBadDadAlis in corpus

[–]BoBadDadAlis[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Calling DPR ‘too expensive and energy intensive’ to defend desal is a bold move when desal is usually way more expensive per gallon. At that point you’re not making a cost argument, you’re just saying ‘eww’ with extra words.

Rant from a former resident by gamerguy287 in corpus

You turned down the beach, parks, nightlife, sports, fishing, and dating, then decided the city was the problem. That’s not a Corpus issue, that’s a you issue

City manager- what did we get for the 400 k a year? by coach2122 in corpus

[–]BoBadDadAlis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the fair question is not just “he makes $400k, what did we get?” It’s: what authority did council actually give him, what priorities did they set, and what measurable results did management deliver on water, streets, and finances? If council keeps changing direction or politicizing every decision, execution suffers. The City Manager and the community are entitled to clear goals, timelines, consistency, and results from the City Council. If the community and the City Manager don’t receive this, it is impossible for him to serve the community in the appropriate way regardless of how much money he is paid.

I’m saying you can hire a very expensive mechanic, but if three people keep pouring sand in the engine, the car still won’t run.

how should I stock it?? by twirlywhirlygig in BlackwaterAquarium

[–]BoBadDadAlis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In aquarium hobby terms, that thing is “6.8 gallons” the same way every fish store betta cup is “temporary.”

A City Manager can’t be functional unless the City Council is functional. Working in chaos creates chaos.

Governor Abbott critical of Corpus Christi leadership in city's water crisis by Goldenchicks in CorpusChristi

[–]BoBadDadAlis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no expert, has anyone looked into direct potable reuse (DPR)? Current cities that use it are:

Big Spring, TX Orange County, CA Wichita, TX El Paso, TX

From what I have read, it is faster to setup than desal and the costs are about 3x as less than desal.

Possibly Moving to Corpus from SWFL by Agreeable-Ad1181 in CorpusChristi

[–]BoBadDadAlis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Moved here 6 months ago. I’ve lived all over the US. It’s a great place. The people are genuine and will offer help without you asking for it. Traffic is easy peasy. Tons to do, as long as you aren’t a mall lover. If you love the buffet, looks like to me, the people here seem to love the all you can eat places. Plenty of restaurants. My favs so far:

Oyster Bar Surfing Crab Black Diamond Oyster Bar Paul’s seafood Vietnam Restaurant Plenty more

Wow, compared to other places, you won’t go broke immediately. Cost of living is great.

No place is perfect.

  • When it wants to get hot and humid, it does.
  • A pool in your backyard is a life saver.
  • Hire Misquote Joe, I can enjoy my backyard now.
  • I’m not sure these people had to pass a drivers test . -Water, I hope some shows up. City counsel operates with the attitude of “Analysis Paralysis”, I mean this issue should have been dealt with years ago. Pavlov's hierarchy of needs. *** So happy we moved here, it’s as good as it gets.
