'clams the last doss put together by your incredible team working round the clock...i think what made it so effective was the color coding (red for the bad stuff, green for the good stuff, you get it). made it much easier to keep it all straight in my head. I assume your team will continue this motif for this report as well. and i for one am QUITE interested to see hughes' hues.

but excellent point dax. you've had 8 whole ass years to plan for this. Even though you may not be entirely sure where your next paycheck is coming from, making it very difficult to plan more than a week or two in advance but hey you had 8 years notice you crybaby

idk i think its something like every 10 years? what does that have to do with anything?

also dax, and i think i'm speaking to sprac's larger point...you are the only one trying to church this up. the good legislature of the great state of texas have all but said the quiet part out loud, that all this rigmarole is going to be exponentially more of an obstacle for the poor, and the poor tend to to be POC and vote liberal more often than not. there are some downright ghouls running the state of texas, and they don't even try to hide it anymore.

or just turn on Spotify or something like that.

like i said, that kind of alibi is by no means exculpatory. If you were a person of interest before giving that alibi, you're still going to be a person of interest after.

and like spracs said re: traffic cams...I don't remember the exact number but the average person who leaves their home to go to work or otherwise go about their day shows up on surveillance cameras ~40 times a day. Like i said, i don't remember the exact number, the point being, its virtually impossible to fully cover your tracks.

because a lot of upstanding citizens are living paycheck to paycheck at hourly jobs, many of them being shiftwork, and while i can't say this is a matter of fact from top to bottom, but its safe to say that most shiftwork type jobs (waiters, factory jobs, retail, etc) you can't just stroll in a couple hours late. You're either there for your shift or you're not. And if you're not then that shift had better have been covered by someone else or you are definitely fired. So that means no income for you that day. or they would have to take a different shift that would make their miserable lives trying to scratch out a paltry existence that much more miserable.

is this really that hard to understand, dax? please tell me you don't think the world is all salaried positions with flexible bosses who will let you take time out of your workday to take care of things like that.

You think I'm murdering someone with my (known) phone on me? Yeah, you definitely couldn't get away with it.

i didn't want to expound too much in that last post, but the cell phone thing is kind of a double edged sword for those looking to do a murder. Like if you have your phone with you then yeah, you are going to be in all the wrong places and will have some explaining to do. But if you leave it at home, the cops are gunna be like, huh, so for the window of time where this crime took place you (and your phone) were at home, using no data...didn't make a call or send a text or read gE or play candycrush or nothin for that entire time. And i mean yeah sure you can say you were taking a nap but the point is your sus lack of phone activity during the critical timeframe aint gunna get you off the suspect list.

I did see a dateline where the guy had his sidepiece come over and stay at his apartment all day, play on his phone, watch netflix, send text messages, while he drove (her car) 8 hours to go kill his estranged wife...even went to the trouble of filling up a couple of gas cans so that he wouldn't have to stop for gas and show up on some gas station surveillance video. But obvs that only would work if you had an accomplice willing to participate.

Have we ever had a "could you get away with murder?" thread? Because while I don't believe I could go through with the act, if I did I think I could get away with it.

my theory is not a chance. with all of the surveillance that is everywhere, the myriad of ways you can be tracked via a gps signal, and with the popularity of ancestry.com et al, there is absolutely no way you can pull it off w/o being caught on camera or pinging off a cell phone tower or whatever at some point during the commissioning of the crime. And then if you leave any dna whatsoever at the crime scene you are toast.

my tinfoil hat conspiracy is that since cops cant legally access your Ring footage without your permission, if <the person whose ring camera was pointed in the right direction> doesn't give cops permission then they still do it anyway to figure out who they like as a suspect, and then they just have to go about a different way of proving it was you that doesn't include the fact that you showed up on the Ring camera

Have you heard of DoorDash?

fair, i guess for those types of services i think the scope is limited to a few specific things. pick up (from a verified grocery store) and deliver my groceries. pick up (from a verified restaurant) and deliver my food. Do that dabble in the nebulous stuff like "hey go to this address and pick up this thing and deliver it to here" i mean i would guess 19 times out of 20 that is moving drugs

full disclosure, i rarely use these types of services and i am very uneducated in what all is allowed.

81 yr old dude gets phone scammed and decides to shoot the Uber driver the scammer sent to collect the money

I'm not a regular Uber user, how did this scammer manage to get an Uber driver to go to a residence to "pickup a package"?

apparently the passenger can be a parcel and the drop off destination can be the post office or ups store etc. Not sure if that's a common use for uber but man, if i was an uber driver i would absolutely decline what appears to be running someone's errands.

it is a proven fact that kansas state university - a beacon of goodness -- is the tide that lifts all boats. mayhaps the fact that his daughter was a student there caused him to not be so murdery by proxy?

Drivers License Renewal

What is wait time to renew without appt at DMV at Bryan? Totally frustrated trying to make appt. Fortunately, I have a month to renew...must renew in person. What a ridiculous mess!

I actually went through quite the ordeal trying to renew mine last September. It really is a ridiculous mess in Texas! One wonders why they make it so difficult to obtain identification ...

curious!

also, who has lived in texas for more than like, idk 5 years and still calls it the DMV? Based on the phrasing this guy is not originally from Texas, lives in Bryan on purpose, but also has been a texas resident for long enough to have to deal with drivers license stuff for (at least) the second time. Like i get if you're on a board that is predominantly non-texans/texas residents that you just use DMV but i'd bet dollars to donuts his fellow texags denizens know it (and have only ever known it) as DPS

maybe the royals wouldn't be a small market team if their fans would actually pay for whatever channel is required to watch them, good gracious. now more than ever they need you to stop being Midwest Cheap

I pay for it out of convenience only. Its nice to just have the app on my Apple Tvs and not deal with finding a stream and then shooting it to the TV and having it fail over and over. With this in mind, I totally get it and am glad no one pays for this crap app from this crap company. I wish no one but me paid for it so their demise comes sooner.  Its been said over and over again, but MLB is the only sport that actively makes it difficult for their fans to watch. Its beyond weird at this point and its no wonder kids and lots of adults don't watch baseball anymore.

I hear that. IDK about other platforms, but the MLB.tv or at bat or w/e for the fire stick might be the most user-hostile viewing experience out there. And every year they seem to innovate new ways to make it even worse

i mean, no doubt he was/is an absolute creep and pervert, who has no business working with children, or women for that matter. What i can't get a read on is whether he did anything that rises to the level of criminality. Like, having children perform thinly veiled sex acts is absolutely gross and should probably put him on a watchlist, but i'm not sure if having someone squirt some goo on Jamie Lynn Spears' face is quite criminal. I think if he was touching or showing i'm sure victims would have come forward by now like they did w/ those other guys. I wouldn't be surprised if he is soon accused of something criminal, but it just seems like he doesn't really have any leverage to keep them quiet so i don't know why his victims wouldn't have said something by now.

It's a fine line... Definitely easy to get information overload to a point where you're just twisting yourself in knots. I admire how bubba Watson has purportedly never taken a formal lesson, but he's also an exceptional talent. If you don't fully understand the mechanics it can be very valuable to have someone who does say "hey quit moving your head around so much" or w/e and like bam game changer that just fixed a bunch of your issues
