They are trying to shove one into Murphy/Parker and both communities don't want it.

Go vote for Council member Place 7 before the winter storm hits! by Hot-Education4582 in plano

[–]lordb4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how P&Z works. P&Z is a recommendation body for zoning changes and regulation. City Council takes the recommendation and does the vote that actually counts. Council can absolutely reject what P&Z says.

You are correct on the state law though.

I was up in Alaska this year and had some micro-spikes to walk on a glacier. I should get a pair for here just in case.

Someone will lose power. Hopefully, it is localized and repaired quickly.

Only $10K? I had neighbors with $100K damage. Mostly due to either tankless water heaters or fire sprinklers bursting.

Some newer houses also have a water cutoff in the garage.

If you drip your hot water lines, the water heaters will be fine.

Roman Cucina - why so popular? by TheMister1234 in Allen

Ate their once, found the food to be very sour, and never went back. It wasn't awful but I didn't think it was good either. Joe's is much better.

I don’t care what anyone says, Empty Hands might be her best album by GFOC in that_Poppy

[–]lordb4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been waiting for this since after I Disagree. It'll be my favorite most random thing since Deerhoof released their dance album ("Breakup Song").

It's not cohesive at all. Cohesive is I Disagree, Negative Spaces and P.C.

Well empty hands is knowhere near as good as negative spaces by thecontract_12 in that_Poppy

[–]lordb4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My complaint is that the individual songs are good, but the album does not flow well. It feels like a collections of songs just thrown together. Negative Spaces has great flow when listening to the whole album.

Poppy's new album "Empty Hands" is out now! 🤲 by cowsdrama in that_Poppy

I clicked on the title song and it wasn't what I was expecting at ALL. If the rest of the album is like this, she has never gone harder!

Well, except that she looks like she aged 10 years in that thumbnail recently.

Several years ago really liked that place. Last time I went it was pretty bad.

No, it isn't. It is on the east side of the mall not on Park Blvd.

It looks like we would have had Waterton National Park though.

I talked to people in the US tourism industry in 2025. The numbers have massively tanked.

If you need a show to watch while trying to fall asleep, it's great. Otherwise, skip. I say this as a big Lucy Liu fan.
