We Live on the Ocean… and Still Can't Figure Out Water

You ever live somewhere that should have something figured out… and it just doesn't? Yeah? Try living on the ocean and still not being able to solve a water problem 🤦‍♂️. That's where this whole conversation goes… but not before detouring through backyard jumps, broken RC cars, and a full-blown investigation into who's been gatekeeping pool party invites 😂. What starts as petty (and very real) "why wasn't I invited?" energy somehow spirals into a brutally honest rant about a city that might actually be heading toward a water crisis. Millions spent, years wasted, and somehow everyone's pointing fingers while the problem gets worse 🔥. It's funny until it's not… because now you're talking about water bills going up, tourism drying up, and people literally not being able to afford basic stuff like showers and laundry. Yeah, it escalates fast. Then, because this is TexTenn, the conversation swerves again; daylight savings gets roasted, war footage gets questioned, and suddenly it's "how do we have $100M jets but grainy videos?" energy. It's chaotic, it's real, and it's exactly how these conversations actually happen when you're just sitting around with someone you know. What we get into this episode… RC car jump gone wrong → suspected broken differential Daylight Savings frustration and why it still exists Pool party "non-invite" turns into gatekeeping callout 😂 Realization: anyone could've been invited all along Corpus Christi water crisis and failed desal project $50M spent with no progress → project reset Rising water costs vs people's ability to afford it Potential curtailment and running low on water supply Impact on tourism, local economy, and housing values Risk of losing major infrastructure (naval base concerns) Frustration with city leadership and decision-making Bigger theme: decades of ignoring critical infrastructure War discussion → confusion around goals and outcomes Grainy military footage vs high-tech expectations AI tools comparison + getting "timed out" by Claude 🤦‍♂️ Pull up a chair 'cause this one feels like you're right there in the middle of it.
