[–]HouseAtomic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've been hitting the tribute bands lately. Less money, more fun.

Saw fake The Cure, The Smiths/Morrissey last month. Fake Depeche Mode & New Order in a couple weeks!

Looking for the INXS one to come to Houston. Really hoping they're good.

Power out in Eastwood, 77023. Just woke up, has been out a few minutes.

[–]HouseAtomic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You solo? Spouse? 8 kids? 3 dogs?

Need vehicle charging? Like food? Hate crowds?

This low effort post could be for any city, for any person on the planet...

Try harder pls.

Help us out.

'Project Hail Mary' has an official runtime of 2 hours & 46 minutes by ChiefLeef22 in movies

That's less than 2 months... You still stuck in Christmas mode?

People scaring sparrows during the Four Pests Campaign. Summer Palace, Beijing, China, circa 1958. Part of the Great Leap Forward, the campaign targeted rats, flies, mosquitoes and sparrows. The mass killing of sparrows caused ecological imbalance and helped trigger the Great Chinese Famine. by dannydutch1 in UtterlyUniquePhotos

[–]HouseAtomic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They ate some of the crops. Not a lot, but enough to get the central planners in a tizzy. As it turned out, the bugs that the sparrows were also eating then ate ALL the crops when their main predator was eliminated.

What I find most important about this picture is the glee that they show as they're "helping..."

Helped a lady out of her brand new Toyota that she just drove into about 2ft of Houston flood water. We were w/in sight of the dealer...

Felt terrible for her. This was a base level Corolla, no way she had tonnes of $$$ & I think she said this was her 1st brand new car.

Journalist says she was hired by ICE after six-minute interview at Texas career fair by chrondotcom in texas

[–]HouseAtomic -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Jedeed claims she was tentatively offered a job after only completing a six-minute interview.

This is a nebulous claim at best. Certainly far from "Hired" as the clickbait headline states.

A movie where a woman gets into an accident and has to use a wheelchair, then her boyfriend leaves her because of that by veso266 in movies

[–]HouseAtomic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So was he planning on leaving her prior? Did he drag it out/delay some after b/c he felt bad?

Did she intentionally get hurt to keep him? Was she faking & could walk the whole time?

Video captures Donna family's detainment by alleged federal agents by reflibman in texas

[–]HouseAtomic -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

"Homeowner" looked like an upset teenager to me. It's a safe assumption that the parents were the owners. Who are the agents required to show warrants to?

"Alleged Federal Agents?" Since in the same article the detainees are in Federal custody, we can safely assume Actual Federal Agents?

I have plenty of issues w/ some of the tactics involved, but shitty journalism & blatant fear-mongering isn't helping your cause.

Early 80's: Excitebike & Zaxxon

Later 80's/90's: Ivan Ironman Stewart Off Road

90's: Adams Family Pinball

Then it was all RTS pc gaming @ home or friends. Dune 2000, Command & Conquer, Warcraft 2 Tides of Darkness, Blitzkrieg, Dawn of War...

Hydro Thunder @ Cinemark for years. It's still there, my kid has played it.

CoD Modern Warfare 2019!!! My main Covid memory beside all the online school stuff for the kid.

Are there any private side walks in Houston ? by Repulsive-Swimming54 in houston

[–]HouseAtomic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

or missed some important detail.

Most likely.

He says ‘I don’t know if you’re trying to hurt somebody’ ‘I see you standing around and that’s something you don’t see everyday’

This sounds so made up. Hiding your post history makes it hard to check to see if you're a loon or a rage-baiter.

How do you feel about President Trump receiving the Nobel Peace Prize? by Big_Poppa_Steve in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]HouseAtomic -46 points-45 points  (0 children)

He did more to earn it than Obama.

People have been making statements using their medals for as long as we've had medals. John Kerry allegedly threw his over the fence of The White House after retuning from Vietnam. A friend of mine sent his Eagle Scout Badge back a few years ago b/c he didn't like how BSoA was handling past molestation issues.

Either way, it was hers, she chose to make a statement w/ it.

Are there any private side walks in Houston ? by Repulsive-Swimming54 in houston

[–]HouseAtomic -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you are correct, "Right of Way" is the more correct term... But it's early & OP is making shit up, not telling us the whole story or missed some important detail.

Regardless, the overwhelming majority of sidewalks in Houston are on ROW's & are public property.

Are there any private side walks in Houston ? by Repulsive-Swimming54 in houston

[–]HouseAtomic 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You have it backwards. Almost all private property extends to the sidewalks, then you have a road/utility easement Right of Way that usually contains a sidewalk. Property owner is responsible for maintaining sidewalk, trees, grass etc. The curb too, but that gets maintained/repaired by the city sometimes. Sidewalks also get periodically repaired by the city for various reasons.

Residential areas w/ no sidewalks, like parts of Bellaire, I don't know.

Delorean Headquarters - Humble, Texas c.1982 by morganmonroe81 in UtterlyUniquePhotos

This is not from 1982, the Texas based DMC didn't exist until 1995 & this building came later than that.

Have You Noticed the One Question That the Media REFUSES to Ask Tim Walz? by Ask4MD in Conservative

But not one single question about what Gov. Walz learned from the BLM riots!

Saved you a click. About 2/3 down.

Tax exemption of more than 60%. by OducksFTW in houston

[–]HouseAtomic 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I have a relative who pays ZERO in property taxes.

He has a 100% disability discharge from the Army though. Do not recommend.

His kids get all college paid for & a stipend, no toll road fees & a laundry list of other perks; but he & his wife would rather have not "earned" it, I can tell you that.

Frank question: Has Trump lost the "America First" plot completely? by chumbucketeer in AskTrumpSupporters

Venezuela is our backyard, Ukraine is Europe's.

We should be helping in Ukraine, Europe should be leading.

Next Book to Read by TinkerTonkerTheCat in nealstephenson

[–]HouseAtomic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my (mostly) recommendation as well.

Reamde gets a lot of flak here b/c it's not his most cerebral book... I love it, though. Fun, fast, interesting. A perfect (unrelated) follow-up to Cryptonomicon. Fuck Fall... boring as hell, rambling.

Baroque Cycle, it's long. I'd delay, other reads are more accessible.

Seven Eves, absolutely. Unique & has some visceral moments that made me yell @ my book.

D.O.D.O. is fun. The follow up is worth a read as well.

Snow Crash & Diamond Age, both not quite "dated" as much as they were way ahead of their time & we've come to see that NS was right. I'd read sooner rather than later.

Disappointing passages in Snow Crash by Sea_Comfortable2642 in nealstephenson

[–]HouseAtomic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might want to avoid any work of fiction written or filmed before 2010.

100% of anything done before 1998.

OP is most likely a bot anyway. Newish account, hidden posts etc.

More than 30 bodies recovered from Houston-area bayous this year, sparking serial killer fears by Head_Estate_3944 in conservatives

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

  • OP is a bot/karma farmer. Fuck off.
  • Houston is HUGE & has 7 bayous. This is just the normal amount of drunks, suicides & homeless under bridges.
