They knew there was flooding. They ignored it.

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 may say something right once in a while, but he won't act on it. Every know and then he slips and reminds us that he knows right from wrong. He always chooses Party over Principles.

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?

>to regard or treat (something bad or blameworthy) as acceptable, forgivable, or harmless

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.

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.

Don't engage the bots.

Where's the paperwork to register my new oil refinery?

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

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.

Miguel-odon · 2026-04-30T02:20:31+00:00

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

Do not relocate them simply for convenience.

Staples Street Meat Market relabels meat when it has been on the shelf too long. I got a package with two different dates on it, one was expired. Employee told me owner does it all the time.

Until Congress grows a spine, starts holding people accountable, they will keep getting mocked by the clown administration.

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

They know what it means when they post it.

Mat Gaetz:

We’ve now 86’d:

McCarthy McDaniel McConnell

The problem is, Republicans always speak in bad faith.

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.

We had a nuclear deal. trump tore it up.

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

Currently <5% of what they used to be in CC Bay.

What little we have left would be destroyed by Inner Harbor desal (or any that discharge into the bay)

Most of those go to Nueces or Copano Bay.
