  1. I want to do this and thoughts about it several days ago. But I can't. Inevitably my wife or kids would hit the garage door opener and everything would be fucked. I just have to accept the air penetration since my family is incapable of paying attention to details.
  2. With the abundance of streaming options and the volume of music and podcasts, I don't get the appeal of listening to local radio these days..
  3. Wait what’s going on with this necro bump? Is somebody knocking on Stacey after what happened in Georgia?
  4. This. It sucks...but today's reality is forcing savers to accept almost no short term return unless they are willing to accept substantial levels of risk.
  5. https://www.organicsbygosh.com/ https://www.wastetodaymagazine.com/article/austin-city-council-approves-composting-contract/
  6. I have three blue recycling bins. I could get by with just 2...but I don’t pay extra for them so 3 it is. I’m fairly certain the compost in the green bins all gets taken to the Organics by Gosh composting facility east of Austin. It’s not going to the dump.
  7. The Marvin Austin dealer you referenced...is that Amazing Exteriors on Burnet? I was just thinking about contacting them based on the upstream recommendation about Marvin.
  8. I’m not one too put much stock in a literal “hell”, but I hope that hostage taker has some serious karmic suffering based on the amount of pain caused tonight.
  9. Fuck. This is my kids pedi office and the alleged hostage is our actual doc. Scary shit.
  10. I've had Energy One try to sell me windows multiple times via door to door channel. Any company selling door to door....I assume is sketchy.
  11. I'm in Austin. Have original early 60s aluminum frame single pane windows with brick exterior. I've been thinking about replacing them throughout the entire house. I was thinking about calling Window World. Then I read your comment. Who should I call instead of them...in Austin? I'm thinking the old windows need to be removed, new windows installed, and any clean up on the exterior walls.
  12. today wasn't terrible....so that's a good day in the context of the last 30 days
  13. I heard Biden say he will admit when mistakes are made. That's good. Acknowledge imperfection and that mistakes are going to happen....not due to negligence but just b/c that is life. Set expectations at a reasonable level.
  14. I am not in any way defending Trump, Pompeo, or their views. But this is over the top. How would one even prove the above statement in a criminal court? Trump is still President today. The Secretary of State is still empowered to execute foreign policy as the current President sees fit. The current administration doesn't have to stop until Biden is sworn in. It would be nice to shorten the timeline between elections and inauguration in an attempt to mitigate this problem...though it does seem like incoming administrations need as much time as possible to execute their transition plans. It would be fun to see if the DOJ could go after Pompeo for Hatch Act violations.
  15. today wasn't too bad. down to half the allergy meds I was taking. but in full disclosure...I haven't left the house in like 4 days....ugh.
  16. I really want to go outside. Then I see the wind blowing from the northwest....and its a big nope. Have to stay inside.
  17. We voluntarily complied with the district request. Kept both kids home. They are Having zoom calls today. Both kids would prefer to be at school. Wife is concerned about them getting bored. Of course they are going to get bored.
  18. So the Leg has to approve the $43 million request? What is the mechanism for that to occur before the Leg is in session again?
  19. Up through last night....fucking grade A miserable. Today...actually not too bad. Of course...I still didn't go outside. I haven't been outside this week for more than 10 minutes each day....b/c yeah....FUCK CEDAR.
  20. more objections to MI more lacking of support from a senator go fuck your objection
