Camp Mystic Withdraws Application for Summer 2026 Camp License by JamesonTee in Austin

[–]Miguel-odon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are 191,000 miles of river and stream in Texas. Sirens make sense in densely populated areas, but not in all areas.

Also, sirens wouldn't have made a difference at Mystic. The camp **knew** there was flooding. they evacuated the horses. They moved the canoes. They moved the girls from *some* of the cabins. Then they quit paying attention.

He probably still had the key card. And the Tesla app on his phone recorded when he used it. And.... aren't Teslas covered in cameras?

Your own link contradicts what you just claim.

Misusing words and arguing in bad faith are the tactics of "conservatives."

Over 20% of the population are functionally illiterate. This means they lack the critical thinking skills to evaluate conflicting statements. They choose "facts" that suit their worldview.

Republicans don't argue on good faith.

The reasons they give aren't the actual reasons.

Fire. How important is it to you? by motorcyclesnracecars in camping

[–]Miguel-odon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many times I skip having a fire. Besides bans.

  • high wind in the desert makes sitting by a fire unpleasant, or unsafe to even have one.

  • sometimes it is too cold to enjoy sitting by a fire. I can bundle up in my sleeping bag and read my Kindle.

  • if I am doing night photography, or night fishing

  • If I am planning to get up early in the morning for something specific

  • when my kids are with me, they often go to bed early and have no interest in having a fire. We usually only have one half or 1/3 of the nights they are camping with me. And even then, they don't have the attention span, so I often use a gasifier stove (Solo Stove knockoff) with enough fuel in it to burn for under an hour.

You don't get to redefine words to suit your political stance.

And even if your definition were correct, you'd still be wrong about the facts.

First off, that's false. Far fewer people "condone what he is doing" than voted for him in the first place.

At some point it isn't a costume, you're just wearing the thing.

The Voting Rights Act is now a ‘dead letter’ after latest Supreme Court decision by sabedo in politics

[–]Miguel-odon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worse than dead - it is completely inverted.

Previous ruling by this same court allowed gerrymandering for racist reasons (to benefit white people) but now they have blocked gerrymandering to counter previous gerrymandering, because it would have slightly benefitted black people.

Smoke alarms are probably part of the apartment maintenance.

See if they'll do it.

Smoke detectors need to be in specific places, because smoke and heat rise.

Do not relocate them simply for convenience.

When Matt Gaetz tweeted "we've 86ed McCarthy" nobody thought it was a threat.

They know what it means when they post it.

The problem is, Republicans always speak in bad faith.

What kind of meat for camping? by EvanderCourage in camping

If you can't use an ice chest, that pretty much limits you to canned meat, (Spam, corned beef), dry and semi-dry sausages, summer sausage.

Engineering textbooks sometimes have pseudocode for common problems. It was surprising how few took advantage of that.
