These statements of his are correct.
They are lies and you know it, Tony.
It is you, in basing your perception of reality on a handful of news clips, who is displaying poor media literacy and susceptibility to selection bias.
BAHAHAHAHAHAAH. Good one, Tony. Tony: "Texas has no snowplows." TxDOT: "We have many snowplows." You: "That's poor media literacy." Why must you lie so much Tony?
I would think someone on
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Tony: "Texas in snowplows don't exist." Media: "Here's news footage on snowplows in Texas removing snow." You:" That was all careful editing to fool you." I think you misunderstand what a "fact" is.
The vast majority of streets do in fact get left to thaw on their own with zero plowing.
NO ONE said snowplows pave 100% of roads. No one. Not even up north where they have snow all winter are 100% of roads plowed. What Tony constantly lies about was that snowplows do in fact exist in Texas, and that they are used in snow storms for SOME roads. More specifically roads like highways and main thoroughfares. His point again is that they don't exist which again is a LIE.
You do not seem to understand just how suburban/exurban Texas sprawl is. 700 snowplows, compared to the geographic size of the state, could be called, at best, a nonzero number
Tony: There are no snowplows. TxDOT: There are 700. You: 700==0 because . . . No True Scotsman. Tony was caught in an easily debunked lie but he continues to excuse it with whatever means necessary.
You're throwing around ambiguous words without specifying which meaning you intend. What is the meaning of "road" when you say there are TxDOT snow plows "on the road"?
Do you not understand what the word, "road" means? Tony would like you to believe that no snow plows exist in Texas and thus are never used ON THE ROADS. We have footage of them being used. Every snow storm. Ambiguous. Please. Tony is trying to excuse his lies. That's all.
Upgrade your shitty old 3.5mm, get an adapter, or shut the fuck up.
I'll just tell all the consumer electronic equipment manufacturers they need to come to my house and change out their ports on the equipment I already own. Also when I am on a plane the next time, they should phased out audio jacks long ago. I have that kind of power. . . . no I don't. Do you have that kind of power as you are the one who is demanding I change out my equipment? And everyone else's equipment because you want to use $20 headphones.
It sounds slow, expensive, and invasive.
user-replaceable batteries should be much simpler to replace, not advance phone surgery
I for one, do not want my iPhone to become as thick as my old time Motorola flip phone that had replaceable battery....
I run my phones for at least 6 years it seems....before I upgrade and toss the old one, or keep it as a camera for some use....but no, with they way phones are and how long battery life currently is, etc....I don't need user replaceable with all the negatives that brings with it...
Shhhh. If you talk too loudly about Texas, Tony Isaac will start posting here about how wrong you are about Texas. See Tony Isaac is a Texan and lives specifically near Houston. Based on that, he can boldly claim things for all of Texas. For example did you know that " We don't have snow plows either, nor should we invest in them. We just shut down when it snows, and that's OK." When pointed out that parts of Texas like the panhandle gets annual snow and thus have snow plows, he was not wrong. Nothing gets in the way of narrative.
See major cities like Dallas do not actually use snow plows according to Tony. "No, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio do NOT clear the vast majority of their streets with snow plows. The vast majority of them are just allowed to thaw on their own, or at most, saline solution is dispersed." So every time the local Dallas TV news shows Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) snow plows on the road, they do not exist according to Tony.
When pointed to actual articles from TxDOT using 30 snow plows in North Texas storm, Tony says the population of Dallas is large so those snow plows don't count. Also the 700 snow plows that TxDOT has across the state don't count because Texas has a large population. So No "True" Snow Plows exist.
Most people don't realize, but the Texas grid never collapsed. The worse it got was "rolling" blackouts and that was five years ago.
Define "rolling". If you mean up to a week in some places, most people do not call that "rolling".
Hundreds of University of California faculty members are calling on the university system to require standardized math test scores from applicants to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) majors.
Nearly 1,000 faculty members have signed the open letter. More than 200 of them are from UC San Diego.
The UC Board of Regents voted to eliminate the requirement in 2020. In their letter, the faculty call it “a temporary measure that has now become a permanent vulnerability...”
“We now observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle-school mathematics while simultaneously teaching the material students need for sciences, engineering, economics, and other quantitatively demanding fields,” the letter reads.
Faculty have reported that students being admitted are unprepared for even basic classes: one faculty report last year saying that the number of students placed in classes to remediate elementary and middle-school math before they could take precalculus increased to 8.5% from 0.5% between 2020 and 2025. Several universities which dropped testing requirements in 2020 have already reinstituted testing over the last several years including MIT, Dartmouth, and Yale.
