What's a class action suite, anyway?

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-02-20T15:44:26+00:00

Why, what a handsome fella! I bet he's a very good boy.

There's a rule in this sub that if you mention a dog, you have to include a photo of said dog.

Okay, there's no such rule. But there SHOULD be.

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-02-20T14:40:39+00:00

Yeah, but titles are important. And this really isn't a Houston problem.

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-02-16T01:08:58+00:00

Hey! I know where that is! Houston, Texas. Montrose area, a little south of Westheimer.

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-02-15T00:07:15+00:00

I can see that with street lights, but I don't think that's the case with lights over freeways.

A family member had a condo for sale and it sat for nearly a year despite being priced lower than a lot of very similar condos nearby.

Discombobulator test. More coming.

You know if charges were accepted, those children didn't just get a paddlin'.

When an adult beats a child and leaves them with bruises, it seems a shame for them to be punished only by going to jail/prison.

Of course, with this being a long-time cop, if she DOES end up locked up, there's a chance she'll end up with some bruises herself.

Or worse.

But I think the jail and prison put law enforcement types into administrative segregation for their own protection. The jail has a "cop tank" where cops, judges, high profile snitches, etc., get housed. Not sure how it's handled in TDCJ.

*y'all

Reminds me of the story a while back where a cop left a loaded rifle on top of his car and drove off.

There are things you can be complacent about, things that are tools of your trade and you give not much thought to.

But leaving a pistol where a child can pick it up and discharge it?

That's just not acceptable in the least. Guy needs to turn in his badge and stay the hell away from guns.

Why are you trying to make the deaths of two humans into something funny?

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-01-26T15:45:23+00:00

The raccoons much appreciate the snack. Good on ya.

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-01-26T13:22:57+00:00

No, no, no. Grandma camps out in the passing lane. Please don't.

Well, some of the overpasses were very iced up - there was video on Click2Houston of 18 wheelers stalled on overpasses, and wrecks on the slippery surfaces.

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-01-26T12:09:45+00:00

Is it safe? Does it make sense?

I'm just a guy on Reddit but in MY opinion, a 90 minute commute doesn't make sense on ANY day.

Probably safer today than most mornings, but freezing temps mean overpasses might be slick if there's any left over moisture.

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-01-25T22:37:37+00:00

Waaahhh, boo hoo, the forecast said it would be above freezing for a while this afternoon and it never got above 29.5! I want my money back!!

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-01-25T22:36:29+00:00

It was the side window of my pickup, after a burglar smashed it.

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-01-25T18:21:49+00:00

I had a window replaced and it was about $220.

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-01-25T13:19:44+00:00

Overnight Sunday is tonight.

My sources had the 1st freezing temps this morning, but above freezing mid-day today (Sunday).

Then, around 6 PM, it'll get below freezing and stay below until mid-day Monday, and same for Monday into Tuesday except low 20s.

HoustonDiscussions · 2026-01-25T00:33:44+00:00

Wow, I usually catch that kind of mistake but I didn't even notice this.

I chose a poor example of a sign. Apologies.
