    Tragic but so avoidable.

    So the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry parks over the are that is considered, by some, to be the most dangerous flood zone in the US. An area that twice before, in the last 40 years has had dangerous flooding and people decided to camp there AGAIN?   Ya really didn't need to be warned. No one should have been there to begin with. Maybe they should have posted warning signs about what has happened there before.

    In July 1987, Kerrville, Texas, experienced a deadly flash flood on the Guadalupe River, resulting in at least 10 fatalities, specifically ten teenagers, and 33 injuries. The flood was triggered by heavy rainfall that caused the river to rise dramatically, impacting a church camp and leading to a tragic bus evacuation attempt.

    In 2002, massive floods swept through the Guadalupe River basin. The 2002 storms hit the upper river basins of the region the hardest, including the Guadalupe River, causing water to spill over Canyon Dam and turning a river normally used for recreational tubing and rafting into a raging waterway.  

    Here's an idea. No structures are allowed to be built in a dangerous floodzone. At least now they know what level that river can get to.

    Hasn't delivered on ecnomic promises.  Carville is right about the economy.  Biden's economy was slowwwly improving.  If Trump had stayed that course with a few Trump tweaks...he would have been in better position today.  As it is, his kicking over of the trash can is going to take some time.  That being said, two of his biggest pie in the sky promisies "no taxes on Tips/OT" haven't even really seen the light of day yet.  Both of those were instrumental in getting people who wouldn't normally wouldn't have voted for him to listen to him.  Odd that he isn't even trying to repay those people for that.  

    I quit reading at 'carville'. That skeleton is a complete drunk.

    Big mouth Deion Sanders and Cheddar Sandwich are getting what they deserve. Didn't perform at combine, skipped Sr. bowl, idiot at combine interviews. By teaching these 2 clowns a lesson, they have put future prospects on notice. Its a great move. 

    Cheddar is no good to begin with and deion would be a complete distraction as he complain that its someone elses fault every time Cheddar throws a pick 6.

    BONUS: paid off Mel Kuiper looking like the biggest idiot on the planet.

    She wasn't fired.  This is another maga lie trying to disparage the people in charge and taking joy in the misfortune of others.

    oops. Fired. Yeah they got so much heat when they planned on firing her back then that they had to back off. Well, they deemed enough time had passed to fire her without the same backlash that they got when she started going against Bass.  MAGA is always right. You are ALWAYS wrong.

    Sweet! I was worried you weren't going to make it in time.  :cheers:

     

    Yeah, I never put the password in and I was thinking something isn't right and I didn't see your team name. So I double checked today after I set all my losing draftkings lineups.

    Tesla continues to get slaughtered. Down over $60 since the post above this one. I'm afraid it could easily fall another $50

     

    Yahoo finance has been my homepage since 1998. Always enjoyed commenting on Stocks, ETFs, etc. that I held, or was interested in. Now, there's a 50-50 chance that a seemingly civil comment like  "didn't realize Teslas sales in China we're down that much last quarter, thanks" will be rejected ?

    It's almost as if Yahoo is trying to drive people away. If the comment problems weren't bad enough, the site has become excruciatingly slow.

    Any suggestions on other investing sites that allow comments ?

     

    I'll give ya better than that.

    Oh and of course https://x.com/DaveHcontrarian for looking out into the future. You have to check his 'replies.' He replies more than posts.

    If you start playing, check out this site, will really help you cut your time at the tracks and save endless hours of testing.  I usually start with his setup, then fine-tune some of the settings, mostly tire pressure.

    Thanks. Wreckfest was at one time supposed to have Talledega but I could never find it online.

    NASCAR Heat 5

    If I had a setup like @Mike Honcho I might be able to hold my line a little better. Its tough to do with a controller.

    Thanks. Are there settings for damage levels, like wreckfest has? 

    • Realistic. Realistic damage is the closest to real life. ...
    • Normal. Normal damage is the most forgiving damage setting in the game. ...
    • Intense. Intense damage is the same as realistic damage with "attacker's advantage". ...
    • Extreme. Extreme damage allows the vehicle deformation to happen easier than in other damage
