If water had no polarity, life as we know it could not exist, so the mess in your apt would be the least of your troubles

Storm related blackouts are due to downed power lines largely in the last mile of delivery, not a shortage of available electricity. A battery installation in your neighborhood won't help when the lines in your neighborhood are down.

That said, Texas's low barrier to entry has enabled more small scale solar PV and battery installations I think than any other state, and they're rapidly building them out.

The fact that she didn't have to face a primary this year is a political gift. She didn't have to go.on record while jockeying to differentiate herself and the instant unanimous support from the entire Democratic party means she can just be herself

You just said a bunch of different things, some of which really aren't related to what we're talking about, and also changed nothing about X

You are correct, my bad. Seems like you can have some confidence that your email is secure, at least

I'd like to echo everything Cagi said, and add that it's genuinely possible this conversation with your brother was more of a "they finally got the diagnosis," sort of conversation rather than a revelation for your brother, because everyone probably already suspected you have autism. It sounds like your mother is happy that you have clarity on this and wanted to share your good news.

If I tell my mother something, it's free game for her to tell anyone she knows about it, because she wants to tell other people what's happening with her children. If I don't want her sharing something about me, I could ask her explicitly not to share, and she won't.

Regarding your concern that your brother is going to think you're no longer socializing with neurotypical people, you're waaay overthinking that. You can call up your brother at any time to talk to him if you want to. Next time you want to go visit, almost guaranteed his door will be open for you and nothing will have changed.

Seems like the idea emanated from Egypt and other Arab states. Egypt just has conditions it wants to meet first:

Several Arab countries, led by Egypt, have in recent months presented the Americans with a document of principles for the day after the war in Gaza, which also included the possibility of deploying troops, conditional on achieving the two-state solution – which includes the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

If you keep reading:

Why would you care about anyone being removed from X? These decisions are being made by a capricious, petulant, and increasingly right-wing extremist Elon Musk. By complaining about this you just give him oxygen. Just abandon the site instead.

I use 2FA, authenticators, etc.

If this is the case, how did you not know these login attempts were happening? Shouldn't you get a ping when a login is attempted and can decline it if it's unauthorized?

I guess I have to reiterate: Child sexual abuse is perpetrated by people of many different backgrounds. Using a handful of perpetrators who identified as LGBTQ as an argument against all people who are LGBTQ is bigoted. Using a handful of religious leaders who are perpetrators of sexual abuse as an argument against all religion is bigoted. I've noticed you only seem to care about one of these, though...

According to a study conducted by researchers at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, “4,392 priests and deacons had allegations of child sexual abuse from 1950 to 2002 against 10,667 children, representing approximately 4% of all priests in the United States in that time period.

My god man, this is at the beginning of your source. You're still completely missing my point in an effort to...I guess make it seem like child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church is a myth? Reread my previous comment and try to think about it again if you're interested in trying to understand how what you're saying here is totally off topic

 

I know this will sound callous of me, but fuck this NIMBY bullshit, and also KVUE for promoting it. This apartment complex is going up a 60 second walk from the Highland Station on the Red Line. Throw a rock and you can hit both Airport Blvd and 2222. This is the geographical center of Austin near some of the busiest intersections in the city. It's not reasonable to expect the vacant lot behind your house will stay that way.

 

"Gwen" means "white" in a variety of Celtic languages

 

"City" in common. Incredible performance of an incredible song.

 

Like the 13th Floor Elevators, Grupo Fantasma is from Austin, TX. Also, they're covering a song from over 15 years prior

 
 

From care to careless

 

Shake, baby, shake, sha-shake, sha-shake, work it, work it

 

Also a drum corps

 

Born or machine, pick your poison

 

El Paso is a ballad about the American Frontier, with incredible vocal harmonies

 

The man said while waiting for his rideshare to arrive, he was flagged down by the suspect. Mistakenly thinking it was his rideshare, he got into the front seat without verifying the vehicle or driver information.

According to the affidavit, the suspect offered the man a drink from an open container, which he accepted. The man said shortly after taking a drink, he blacked out and had no memory of what occurred for several hours.

Yeah please don't do this
