  1. I'm in Southhampton Hills, one of the small neighborhoods between, Brodie, William Cannon, West Gate, and Davis. Power returned around midnight last night after ~24hrs without it in a 100% electric home with no fireplace. Temp inside was 50 at reconnect. Was awakened around 3am to the sound of rushing water and discovered a growing pool in my bedroom. Ran outside to shut off water, and slipped and fell on the ice, injuring my arm. Doesn't seem bad enough for 911 with other people in greater need. Cannot find any urgent care nearby that is open or even answering phone. Calls to SignatureCare Austin Emergency Room get disconnected immediately. Is anyone in the area able to get eyes on it to see if it is actually open? Some pain to touch on elbow, but mostly just discomfort and limited motion at elbow and wrist. No noticeable swelling. No obvious broken bones. I can wiggle fingers and make weak fist. Rotation is very very limited, but all range has improved slightly throughout the day. I made a sling from a t-shirt, and happened to have a wrist splint. Would have a neighbor drive me to urgent care if it's open, but don't want to risk a longer drive nor take up valuable hospital ER resources unless things worsen. Call and message to primary care for advice have gone unreturned. On a long waiting list for plumber to fix pipe, as I understandably could not find any who were willing to brave the roads in order to work. Neighbor was providing water, but lost theirs to city pressure issues several hours ago. Kicking myself for not having the foresight to expect a leak and no water, but too late now. I should have enough to get me through tomorrow, but unless neighbor gets water again, it will get grim. I live alone and drive a stick, so doing things for myself or driving anywhere is a challenge under the circumstances. Once the roads improve, I can rely on friends in other parts of town. Until then, I am coping, and know others are in worse shape. Nonetheless, if the power goes out again, I will lose my shit, though I won't be able to flush it without melting snow. tldr: 2021 also sucks, but not as much as OU.
  2. For those who might be interested in my used Concept 2, it found a good home with another surly member.
  3. You're doing it wrong. You are supposed to give CDC all of the blame when things don't go well, and when they actually do work out, which is obviously an extremely rare occurrence under his watch, you are supposed to emphasize how he single-handedly almost caused an epic failure, and that all successes are in spite of his involvement. Get it right next time.
  4. Hmmmm, it's a damn shame when a phrase takes on new meaning to the point that using it sincerely causes confusion.
  5. You also undersold the soundtrack, though its enjoyment may be a generational thing.
  6. What part of the "nerdery is that way >>>>" do you dipshits not understand?
  7. If you are still looking, I have a ~4yo Concept 2 that I barely used. Shortly after buying it, I suffered a disk injury from cycling, and can no longer row without pain. It is in like new condition. I would love to see it go to a good home rather than sit in the corner of my spare room, and would gladly make you a good deal. As I recall, you aren't in Austin, so this likely won't work. If I'm wrong, or if anyone else is interested, shoot me a PM.
  8. I just finished Giri/Haji, and am really surprised that it hasn't received more buzz. It is a very unique take on the crime/mafia drama genre, and is extremely well done with top-notch performances from almost the entire cast (I struggled a bit to find Justin Long convincing). If you are in need of a solid 8-episode binge, look no further.
  9. I'm just hoping we can stop calling it "efense."
  10. Awesome. I'm sure my 88yo mother would love a little action. Thanks for stepping up.
  11. You have any idea how hard it is to hit an upright? I have no doubt that the second one was the result of "I bet you can't do that again" from some heckler.
  12. I graduated from Skyline, but would have had to attend North Dallas if not allowed to bus it.
  13. What site do you think this is? People still think Urban is coming.
  14. I actually expected him to respond to that question with "we'll play anyone anytime," and was slightly disappointed when he didn't.
