  1. What is the general consensus on Hegar or West having the best chance of making it interesting?
  2. Seems reasonable. Although I do think it could become more statistically impactful in the future if multiple negative tests are required before someone can participate in an activity - seems like that would drive more positive tests. It also seems like counties should have the ability to keep track the number of positive individuals vs. tests in the numbers they are reporting to the state. At least the smaller counties, it could be more challenging for Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, etc.
  3. Yea, I don't think it would be statistically significant, but I'd like to find a trustworthy source that says the case count is individuals, not positive tests - found that for NC and GA, but not for TX. Been digging around on the TX DSHS website with no luck so far - not mentioned in the FAQ.
  4. Sorry if I've missed this, I've been away from the thread for a few days and search did me no good. I've had multiple people claim to me that if the same person tests positive multiple times that they are all showing up as additional cases in the official case counts from the CDC and various dashboards. I can find articles addressing that this is false in North Carolina and Georgia, but nothing for Texas. Does anyone have a source for this?
  5. F the will of the people. The GOP is on a collision course with extinction.
  6. So much this. The economic pain was coming no matter what - I can't understand why people don't get this. Sure Houston is "open", but how many people are going to actually go out to eat or to a bar now that the chickens have come home to roost?
  7. Why do we have to wait for another month!? It sure seems like there will be some other horseshit excuse in late July for this shitheel to avoid testifying.
  8. My oldest son (10 y.o.) is supposed to go to a 2 week summer camp starting July 5th. He was signed up last fall, we canceled this spring and then re-enrolled a few weeks ago when it looked like things were somewhat under control. The camp has made drastic changes to their drop-off procedure and their day to day activities/procedures. And pretty much everyone out there is confined to the camp grounds (way out in the East Texas woods) for the whole summer. The cabins are not air conditioned, but I still feel like if one kid in the cabin shows up with asymptomatic CV19, then everyone in the cabin is likely to end up with it. I was the one that had to push my wife to get her comfortable that outdoor activities are fine - still pretty much feel this way, especially if we quarantine for 2 weeks as a family after camp is over. But I have to admit that I'm waffling a bit with the case numbers in Texas trending like they are.
  9. Maybe so, but I feel like Nadler should hold him in contempt and start impeachment proceedings on Barr if he completely stonewalls today. Make the Senate Republicans own this fuckery.
  10. He'll give them the double birds and keep on criming. Nadler will shrug his shoulders and say it's not worth the effort to do anything about it. We are F'd.
  11. Like a swiss f'n watch these guys are.
  12. I've seen you comment on this a few times and sorry if I missed this part of it already, but do you think this is driven by reduced viral load due to the hotter weather or CV19 mutating to a weaker strain or what? It's something I've struggled to understand - steady ~20k/day new cases along with a steady decline in daily deaths.
  13. MP7 has become my favorite. I'm 2 longshot kills away from getting the gold camo for it, that's been a serious f'n grind. Sucks that they took Plunder away again, and agreed that their Rumble mode is terrible. Nothing but campers/snipers and assholes waiting to run you over in a vehicle as soon as you hit the ground. I thought the Trench Warfare 3v3 mode was pretty fun too so of course that took that one away quickly too.
  14. Damn. Are there enough DUCs out there to turn this around anywhere near as quickly as it did in '17 or '19?
  15. Good luck getting it over the finish line, I know you've wanted to do something like this for quite some time. Are you going to hedge or nah?
  16. Jesus. That's a startling number to see.
  17. Agreed, Rubio and Cruz can both get bent for that same reason.
  18. I feel like I'm looking in the mirror here with a few small tweaks. I can't see myself voting for a Republican for quite a while and will actively work against any GOP candidates that went full-Trumpkin during this error. I'm a hunting, fishing, gun owning, beer drinking, and in an industry connected to Oil & Gas, Texan.
