Yeah in a situation that was so hosed up that we seceded, I doubt we'd be the first state to do it. Oh neat: https://twitter.com/mihirzaveri/status/746411469240078336 zoux fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Jun 24, 2016 |

Astrodome is one giant cluster gently caress: -One of owners, and the primary reason why no one can do anything with the Astrodome, wants Houston to renovated it and turn it into a historical building. -One group of investors want to turn it into one of the worlds largest indoor amusement park. -Another group wants to turn it into, essentially a Megacity One Block, by converting the interior into a giant convention center with it own series of hotel complexes, a mall, a movie theaters, and god knows how many restaurants. -And now you have Harris County want to turn it into a parking garage/shuttle hub.

More wondering if it is possible to fake a sms number similar to how telemarketers fake their numbers on caller ID. Some troll sending fake messages pretending to be the lawyer, etc. The more I think about it the less likely it is.

it's being reported that Manziel's lawyer accidentally sent that information to a reporter so I can't imagine how it would be a problem ethically to report it. It's on the lawyer. I believe I also heard the lawyer threatened to sue about the release of the information but again, if the lawyer released the information accidentally or otherwise, I can't see the AP or whoever received the information initially could be held responsible for anything.

I've had Franklin's once, we did a to go order that we had to put in a month in advance. It's outstanding BBQ but not so far and away above a ton of other places that it's worth the rigamarole. You could drive to Mueller's in Taylor AND Coopers in Llano and back in the amount of time you'd spend in that line.

Then again reality has no hold on those who want Texas succession so...probably. Nothing legally will come of it but be prepared for Abbot or some other loons to start screaming about it.

Texit isn't actually a thing that has real support, that stuff is mostly being brought up by panicking Brits who desperately need someone to feel superior to in their time of need
