  1. HEB is in a tough spot. You can’t expect even people at “management” level to be willing to engage all the maskless fucks that have to go to their store. What do people expect them to do, hire armed security for ALL of their locations?
  2. My $1.25 alert for TSNP went off. What’s going on?
  3. Local Fox affiliate in Austin is off the air. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that.
  4. The one pipe I was worried about (kitchen sink on outside wall) is no longer dripping. What are my next steps? Dump hot water down the drain? Use a hair dryer underneath?
  5. My neighbor down the street has has his garage door open all morning. I’m no expert on this shit, but that doesn’t seem smart.
  6. Dumb question alert. How does one prove obesity in order to be in Group 1B? Do you get a specific note from you doctor or is this something on your physical? BTW this is not for me. I’m an Adonis who benches 300 lbs and runs a 4.4 40.
  7. In the 80’s, I played little dribblers basketball at the Jayton Gym. They had some NICE facilities
  8. Anyone having issues with CBS just locking up? I have Spectrum and it’s been pure shit!

  17. From NYT Geminids Meteor Shower 2020: Watch It Peak in Night Skies All year long as Earth revolves around the sun, it passes through streams of cosmic debris. The resulting meteor showers can light up night skies from dusk to dawn, and if you’re lucky you might be able to catch a glimpse. The next shower you might be able to see is known as the Geminids. Active from Dec. 4 to Dec. 20, it is expected to be at its peak from Sunday night into Monday morning, or Dec. 13 to 14. The Geminids, along with the Quadrantids that peaked in January, are thought to originate not from comets, but from asteroid-like space rocks. The Geminids are thought to have been produced by an object called 3200 Phaethon (an asteroid that a Japanese space mission, Destiny+, is to visit later this decade). If you manage to see them, this meteor shower can brighten the night sky with between 120 and 160 meteors per hour. While many showers are most visible after midnight and before dawn, the Geminids may be visible as early as 10 p.m. in some locations, according to the International Meteor Organization, although the best viewing may begin at around 11 and last until 4 a.m. Where meteor showers come from If you spot a meteor shower, what you’re usually seeing is an icy comet’s leftovers that crash into Earth’s atmosphere. Comets are sort of like dirty snowballs: As they travel through the solar system, they leave behind a dusty trail of rocks and ice that lingers in space long after they leave. When Earth passes through these cascades of comet waste, the bits of debris — which can be as small as grains of sand — pierce the sky at such speeds that they burst, creating a celestial fireworks display. A general rule of thumb with meteor showers: You are never watching the Earth cross into remnants from a comet’s most recent orbit. Instead, the burning bits come from the previous passes. For example, during the Perseid meteor shower you are seeing meteors ejected from when its parent comet, Comet Swift-Tuttle, visited in 1862 or earlier, not from its most recent pass in 1992. That’s because it takes time for debris from a comet’s orbit to drift into a position where it intersects with Earth’s orbit, according to Bill Cooke, an astronomer with NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office. How to watch The best way to see a meteor shower is to get to a location that has a clear view of the entire night sky. Ideally, that would be somewhere with dark skies, away from city lights and traffic. To maximize your chances of catching the show, look for a spot that offers a wide, unobstructed view. Bits and pieces of meteor showers are visible for a certain period of time, but they really peak visibly from dusk to dawn on a given few days. Those days are when Earth’s orbit crosses through the thickest part of the cosmic stream. Meteor showers can vary in their peak times, with some reaching their maximums for only a few hours and others for several nights. It is best to use your naked eye to spot a meteor shower. Binoculars or telescopes tend to limit your field of view. You might need to spend about half an hour in the dark to let your eyes get used to the reduced light. Stargazers should be warned that moonlight and the weather can obscure the shows. But if that happens, there are usually meteor livestreams like the ones hosted by NASA and by Slooh.
  18. Video is an interview with the head of the WTF bike crew talking about his beef with Flanagan
  19. Do you even woke bro? That kinda thinking is done. This kid could have the ref apologizing to him in no time.
  20. Cue the kid to come out and say the ref called him something racist.
  21. I saw where StatOil/Equinor is shutting down their Austin office. I’m not sure what’s happening with the employees, but I’m guessing they had 200 or so there.
  22. Hopefully their Kerrville and Fredericksburg locations survive.
