  1. Are there any theories about whether the traditional vaccines like J&J, or the RNA based vaccines will provide longer immunity? Or is it too early to tell?
  2. So, what's the deal with baseball tickets and game attendance in plain English? There's nothing on the UT site about baseball tickets which seems impossible. Is the only way to get tickets, to show up on gameday? I'm sure that would work for Abilene Christian, but what about Tech in a couple weeks?
  3. Is the question whether she would upgrade us at tackle? If so I'd need to see her footwork before weighing in.
  4. Found a few more pics from south TX
  5. Found a scraper almost just like yours! Love artifact hunting. Can't wait to see what turns up on this thread
  6. Related: Who in Austin can help with purchasing a new windows laptop and android phone, and migrating files (photos, videos, etc) from a MacBook Pro and iPhone over to the new setup? In other words, are there personal individual IT consultants in Austin, or could a salesperson at a computer store help with that? Thank you in advance
  7. Many thanks for the advice. Does anyone know who I would go to if I wanted help buying a windows laptop and non-iphone, transferring files (mostly pics/vids), and making sure everything new is set up correctly? In other words, are there personal individual IT consultants in Austin, or could a salesperson at a computer store help with that?
  8. I just had cv19 a few weeks ago and was completely asymptomatic. So, my plan is to take my sweet time, let lots more data come out on all the various vaccines, and get it at some point down the road when its widely available and nobody is waiting for it. In the meantime, if the vaccine gets us to herd immunity and infection numbers drop to near zero, I may wait until if/when another outbreak happens before getting the vaccine. Any docs disagree?
  9. We finally had our turn and thankfully the whole fam was asymptomatic. A buddy came into town January 21 to stay with us. January 24 he finds out that the guy he rode to town with developed symptoms and tested positive. We go test my buddy that day, negative. January 27 we test him again, positive. We had been taking precautions after finding out about his + ride to town, but not full quarantine. After his positive test, we go to full blown quarantine. On January 28 I test negative. Then on January 31 I test positive. Also on January 31 our nanny starts feeling sick and tests positive. The worst part for me was taking care of three kids ages 1, 2, and 4 for almost two weeks straight with no help. But our nanny was/is still pretty sick, had every symptom except the bad cough (aches, chills, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, disorientation, etc.)
  10. New to the thread. Y'all are awesome for supporting fellow surlers going through a rough patch. I have not read the whole thread. I'm wondering -- whether in this thread or somewhere else -- if anyone has good Austin recs for counseling? Relationship issues, depression, anxiety, etc. Thanks in advance.
  11. Thanks for the replies. I have a zillion issues with Apple. Yes their phones have been really reliable. But in a nutshell, I view apple as a company that started out making a superior product, but now spends its creative capital making up new ways to bleed its customers for $. Slowing down old phones intentionally so that customers will upgrade is fraudulent in my book. But the company does a bunch of other subtle things to make you spend $. My MacBook default settings ended up making countless duplicate copies of drafts and such, which used up all the memory within a few months. I can't watch a lot of our videos because they take so long to load in iPhotos, even though I'm paying for the storage. Lately photos has not been letting me create new albums. A ton of the Mac specific programs/apps are super annoying to me. I could go on and on and on. I used windows for many years so I'm not worried about that switch, and I'm basically banking on the top Andriod phones today being nearly as good as the iPhone itself for things like camera, battery life, etc. Thanks again!
  12. Maybe this should go in the cord cutters thread or elsewhere, but here's the question. I have an iPhone and MacBook, but fed up with apple and want to switch to a new laptop and phone. Up open to recommendations on android phones and windows laptops, especially if certain devices/platforms work better together. Also I have a ton of iPhone photos I'd like to save/convert to windows, plus some other documents etc. Should I get help locally in ATX for this and if so recommendations on where to go?
  13. 4 y.o. daughter: "Mommy, why do you wear black panties instead of panties with characters from TV on them?"
  14. My wife had her second Pfizer a couple days ago, and she has had virtually no side effects from either shot. Very slightly sore where they stuck her.
  15. Our 2 year old doesn't like to be told not to do things, of course, and usually responds by making a mad face/scary voice and announcing why he's going to do exactly what he wants to do. He's potty training and when he's not wearing a diaper during the day, he loves to play with his thing. Yesterday he had his hand down his pants and the nanny was telling him to get it out of there and stop touching himself. He looks at her and growls, "My daddy said I can touch my weenie whenever I want!!!"
  16. while we are mentioning Russia, I'll take issue with this
  17. This guy was out late. Thanks 2020, you thought of everything including cottonmouths on thanksgiving
  18. I don't think they are transferring covid patients -- rather other patients to make room for covid patients and to make sure non-covid patients are separated from ones with the virus. So it may count against our numbers of available hospital beds but not cv19.
  19. Last week someone pointed out the daily rollercoaster of waking up and everything is rosy, and by bedtime everyone's sphincter is cranking out diamonds. So true lmao
  20. I don't gamble and don't understand the numbers representing the odds. So sorry for the dumb question, but right now if you put $1 on Biden to win TX or Trump to lose TX, what is the payout?
