This right here (wealthy people like Nevill) is just the tip of the iceberg. The cancer of socialism and communism has taken hold in America and western civilization on a scale most westerners cannot comprehend.
Regardless is you are religious or not, this is a battle of good vs evil on biblical proportions. Their intentions are not just.

re: Any update on using AI for traffic light management?
Posted by tarpley2000 on 12/23/25 at 12:21 am to GregMaddux
Hate to break it to you guys, but the powers that be prefer the lights not be synchronized / optimized. This leads to to “congestion” which is then used to push through more money to “fix” congestion.
Back in the early 90’s the city of Austin was essentially unsynchronizing the traffic lights to create inefficient traffic flow to push mass transit of some sort.

Why not? That way the 4 byes can actually have a home playoff game.
And before anyone says it can't be done, you mean to tell me the money hores associated with CFB would turn it down? This is America, what happened to our can-do attitude.
4 programs with byes - sorry we prefer not to have a home playoff game. Stadium availability is an issue (do you realize how hard it is to have more that 6-8 events per year at our 9 figure stadiums
Coaches - sorry, I don't get paid enough to coach an extra game
Fans of teams with bye - sorry, we are nothing but a bunch of commie pussies who are afraid to settle it on the field and prefer a beauty pageant like system like the good ole days.
ESPN, etc - sorry, we are too busy with a bunch of worthless bowl games.
Refs - sorry I have no interest in making extra money working a CFB playoff game.
Talking heads - sorry, we would rather talk about the eye test, game control, manipulating polls, etc, instead of settling this on the filed like men.

re: How many external storage units are you paying for each month?
Posted by tarpley2000 on 11/26/25 at 4:41 pm to real turf fan
Our family owns storage units (started in 1980 and I am the 3rd generation). When we transitioned to software, we added notes to each customer account to capture the year they first rented and their original monthly rent.
A quick search of the software provided the following info below. The original rental rates and the total amount each customer has paid at original rate only (current rents are obviously much more so the amount paid is even more).
The longest rental that I know of is a customer that originally rented in 1982 and died in 2023 - over 40 years total.
1989 $50 - 21,600
1994 $50 - 18,600
1996 $55 - 19,140
1997 $45 - 15,120
1999 $55 - 17,160
1999 $45 - 14,040
1999 $45 - 14,040
2001 $40 - 11,520
2002 $40 - 11,040
2003 $50 - 13,200
2003 $75 - 19,800
2004 $75 - 18,900
2004 $50 - 12,600

re: Reports of over 20 young camp girls missing In TX floods
Posted by tarpley2000 on 7/8/25 at 10:13 pm to fwtex
There is actually a higher tier warning that can be issued by the NWS. It is called a Flash Flood Emergency. The NWS issued one for the Hunt area around 4am and for Kerrville around 530am.
“Flash Flood EMERGENCY
issued for the EXCEEDINGLY RARE situations when extremely heavy rain is leading to a severe threat to human life and CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE from a flash flood is happening or will happen soon. Typically, emergency officials are reporting LIFE-THREATENING water rises resulting in water rescues/evacuations.”

You are correct. In addition to the Guadalupe, Cypress Creek and a dry wash also converge there. With the amount of rain and the narrowness of the banks, I imagine the water was coming from all sides.

There are no dams of any significance in that area. What you have are weir dams that are used to create small ‘lakes”. The “dam break” came from the girls that survived. What they witnessed was most likely the wall of water from the flash flood.

Quick Paris Trip
Posted by tarpley2000 on 6/10/25 at 7:36 pm
Daughter is in Italy studying abroad and the wife and daughter are planning on meeting in Paris for a quick 4-day trip. Neither have been before.
Hotel wise we were looking at the Hotel Le Cercle near the Eiffel Tower. It seems to be in a nice area and has great reviews.
Any recommendations for guided tours? Or use the hotel concierge to arrange? Or just do excursions on their own?
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

re: Do you know anybody who has lived in the same house their entire life?

Wife’s grandfather lived in the same house his entire life. His parents built it in late 1890’s. He was born in it. Worked on the farm his entire life. When he got married it was added on to and he and my wife’s grandmother lived there with his parents. Almost 90 years in the same place.

re: After historic tax cuts, Texas lawmakers evaluate eliminating property taxes entirely
Posted by tarpley2000 on 9/5/24 at 2:47 pm to jizzle6609
Did they account for a sales tax on the purchase of real estate? I would think by applying the current sales tax of 6.25% to all real estate purchases a substantial amount of money would be raised every year.
In addition cutting out the CAD bureaucracy would be a savings.
And at the end of the day you would own your property outright and not have to deal with the stress of the current property tax system.
