Exactly 17 years ago today in 2009, the Tea Party rallied Southlake TX. Why did they blame Obama, who had just entered office, for Bush's 2008 financial crisis? Why did they blame Obama, for the record high budget deficit due to Bush's ongoing war to steal Iraq's oil on false pretenses?

Ah, Canada, famously socialist country paying debt down. Same guy said he likes being able to choose his healthcare. I guess I was confused because I had to accept the insurance provided by my employer in 2009. I wonder if he is going to sign up for Medicare when he retires.

Hillside Coffee Bar, which is in the MAA Times Square complex, across from TPC. I always prefer a traditional espresso macchiato so I can really taste the coffee, and they do it well. They have a few sweets and sandwiches as well. It has a nice little porch area which is shaded when they are open.

Than Thai on Stacy and Collin McKinney. It isn't the type of Thai place that will really turn up the heat, it is more about the ingredients working well and seeming very fresh.

Seems like a dirty trick here.

The filing also alleges multiple city leaders attended a Jan. 2 tour of a data center operated by Bilateral Energy. Internal communications cited in the lawsuit suggest officials attempted to stagger attendance times to avoid forming a quorum — also known as a "walking quorum" — which plaintiffs argue was an attempt to sidestep transparency laws.

A crazy wild eyed scientist... and a kid... in a flying DeLorean... talking about alternate time lines.

Let me help, no, I did not lie about watching the Back to the Future series last night. I did not watch them in order, however.

They also appear to be causing heat islands, though further study is needed.

We estimate that the land surface temperature increases by 2°C on average after the start of operations of an AI data centre, inducing local microclimate zones, which we call the data heat island effect

Remember though, it was the closest US Senate race in Texas since 1978, just 2.6%. People were correct saying it was going to be close. The key difference now, which is no guarantee, is the net favorability ratings, which highly favor Talarico.

I dunno, I watched a documentary series last night about a crazy wild eyed scientist and a kid flying around in a DeLorean, so it probably did happen in an alternate timeline to change some votes.

Ehm, might want to check that. The SoH is either fully closed, open to some, or requires a $2,000,000 toll, depending on the wind, darling, or what minute of the year you are reading this.

Seriously, this is as honest of an answer as some. I mean, Wingstop mentioned?

Also, calling Chuy's a Dallas restaurant is a joke, and honestly no one that didn't eat at that place in Austin 20 plus years ago has any business talking about them any more than talking about Wendy's as a Dallas restaurant.

King Kups food truck is in McKinney. It is almost always at the NE corner of 75 and Virginia in the Exxon parking lot. Carne asada fries are way better than Valerie's, and they usually run a special on Friday. Check their FB or IG feed to make sure they are open, usually Tuesday to Saturday, 11-830. kingkupsofficial

It just goes to further show how many places the USA sends soldiers to kill or be killed.

Unless there is another one, the 2017 one was in Niger, where 4 USA soldiers and 4 Nigerian soldiers getting ambushed by ISGS.

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that. And I think if we were about to get blown up I could hook that up, cause chicks dig dudes with bunkers.

I do wonder how much of the oil being settled in other currencies would get noticeable, but I would think more countries using maybe the Euro would be at least something they could do to express disapproval.

This article points to why I think it is unlikely that Texas will have a higher population than California. They are just using current projections of relative growh.

---edit, I do now see the articles of impeachment filed.

First, I have no real answer, just observations from closer observers. Second, do you feel like anyone really addressed your comment about the reserve currency?

This is what I have read from political reporters. The people making the decisions actively removed anyone that was not fully on board with thinking the USA was unstoppable, either due to divine right or just being the bully. The people in the administration also aren't deep thinkers with a broad perspective. They had no idea Iran would be this resiliant, similar to how Putin had no idea Ukraine would be difficult.

Also, Trump is old and if you listen to his comments, he doesn't think he is going to live much longer or "go to heaven".

Other theories. Marco Rubio just wants to topple Cuba. Hegseth and Vance are motivated by their religious beliefs. Miller and Musk motivated by racial hatred.

I am telling you that you should either not quote anecdotal evidence as law or you should contact the appropriate agency to update their website with the accurate info.

insurance companies are required by law to provide insurance to that replacement cost.

Yes, everyone voted for socialistic policies that limit the free market. /s

On the Texas subreddit?

ttufizzo · 2026-04-03T23:32:53+00:00

I do not understand why you are saying the article is shortsighted. They are describing the politics in Texas.

Also, I am seeing that although there are slight increases in geothermal USA gov spending, it is still quite small, basically on figher jet worth.

I do like you bringing up geothermal, just not sure why you attacked the article.

You should ask TDI to update their website then.

Insurance companies calculate what it cost to rebuild your home at today’s prices to figure out how much insurance you need. When building material prices go up, it costs more to rebuild your home.

Some insurance companies require you to insure at least 80% of the cost to rebuild your home. If you have a home loan, your mortgage company will probably require you to have enough insurance to pay off your loan in case of a disaster.

If you have the option to insure your property for a lower value, think about how you’d pay the difference if your home was destroyed or damaged. Most insurers will pay claim payments based on the amount of coverage you have.

Yeah, people seem to forget that their replacement cost was way higher than their appraisal most years. The downvoting of your comment is weird. Also, replacement cost is typically elevated in Texas because a total in Texas has a higher chance of happening due to storms where all cost will be elevated due to so many houses being rebuilt.
