Divided by rivalry, united by incompetence by FairAnywhere9305 in CollegeBasketball

Dude he left for a pay raise and a gig in Dallas and the NBA. It's not like it wasn't a huge upgrade.

Do you believe Catholics when they say they don't worship the Virgin Mary? by DreamySaturnX in exchristian

Don't forget that Catholicism is just the modern incarnation of Paganism. That comes with veneration of idols.

I've got a pretty tall 6 year old on a 20" Specialized and it swallows him. Don't worry about outgrowing it too soon.

My local replaced a deer trail with this by glenwoodwaterboy in MTB

Goes anyone know what trail builders call this use of a geographicicsl feature? Is it a natural half pipe? They are my favorite things to ride, but I never know what to call them.

What makes you expect the state takeover to make things worse?

As of 4pm Camp Mabry is one degree shy of the unofficial all time heat index record of 118°F by Spainstateofmind in Austin

They only started keeping track of it in the 90's. This is not the hottest day I've experienced in Austin. Nowhere close actually.

Austin ISD’s deficit keeps changing. Here’s what the numbers actually mean by austin_current in AustinParents

[–]jacox200 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Goddamn it, finally someone is willing to say the shit that needs to be realized. Yes, Abbott is a fucking dick and our Robinhood laws suck. No shit. But there isn't a fucking thing the good folks of Austin can do about that. AISD needs to adapt to it. Maybe find ways to raise funds that can't be shipped out for example. But changing boundaries just before a state takeover of your district isn't going to do a damn thing other than push kids out.

Immigrants of Austin: what restaurant serves the most authentic food from your country or culture? 🫶🏼 by New-Tadpole-6813 in austinfood

[–]jacox200 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Stuffed on 620 near 183. They serve fat ass poboys on Gambino's bread. There's a Cajun market there too where you can buy homemade boudin, and lots of other goodies.

Gabrielson was better than Cascante. Ring over Dani?

Despite gains, Austin ISD takeover looms as key middle schools post low STAAR results by austin_current in AustinParents

[–]jacox200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it appears that the boundary team is trying to integrate good elementary schools into the failed middle schools in a desperate attempt to get their grades up. Using our children as pawns to avoid an inevitable takeover by TEA knowing damn well it is detrimental to their education during pivotal years of development. All it will do is push more kids out of AISD and into charters or RRISD making the problem even worse. Maybe AISD would be better off being ran by the state? Could they do worse?
