Moved my truck to the airport garage and pulled the cars into the garage. It won’t hail in Austin now.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Buy mulch? I already pay for that in taxes. I just pick it up at Austin recycling. Takes a bit of work to load and unload but I get a truck bed full of mulch.

2020/2021 Hunting Thread
My high school is doing a raffle to benefit scholarships. Two of the prizes are hunting related. Thought I would share. If this is not allowed please delete and ban me to purgatory. About 200 tickets left.

Except for the tax. And did he have an OOEF in place? Better write a memo just in case. #fml

2021 violent storms thread - is an F6 possible?
Highest wind speed ever recorded/estimated using Doppler on Earth was between 300 and 320 mph. F5 goes up to 318 mph. The EF5 is anything over 200 mph. Neither the F scale or enhanced F scale go to 10. TORRO goes to 11 but only when shit gets real.

Thoughts on I care a lot? Conversation around the house was “Is Grayson supposed to be trump?” The Russian guy = GOP or Russians? Or did we have too much to drink tonight?

Les Miles the next Head Coach at Kansas
At UT, no faculty or staff can be in a relationship with an undergrad. It’s the Kearney-Applewhite rule.

Lawyers going to Lawyer - Class Action vs UT
Nobody is up charging for anything. And you assume it’s an inferior product because a shitty student complained to Karen. The school went above and beyond to provide the best possible educational experience which is exactly what is promised when a student is accepted for attendance. If we want to have a separate discussion about waste I’ll gladly join the “these fuckers waste a lot of money” side of that argument. But that’s not what the plaintiff is claiming.

Lawyers going to Lawyer - Class Action vs UT
We spent a lot of money to upgrade classrooms to do hybrid learning. When classes started the students chose online instead of in person. We kept track of the numbers to show this. We canceled the hybrid and went pure online in most cases because of this. On top of the expenses to upgrade classrooms we spent a lot on technology upgrades for faculty. Upgraded webcams, laptops, iPads, doc cams, recording studio time, fucking holographic technology for the MBA program, the list goes on and on. Many of the faculty are teaching twice for each hybrid course so we had to reduce the number of students per course and hire more faculty. On top of that the faculty needed more support to answer emails and grade more online assignments. So we hired more undergraduate students to help out. This lawsuit is going to die a quick painful death.

Tiger Woods involved in rollover crash. suffered compound fractures in both legs
Jesus. Multiple open fractures to the lower AND upper portions of BOTH the tibia and fibia of the right leg? Mangled comes to mind. No way he plays again, right?

Anybody see the IG video of Wade and Woods? Is he high? That was filmed yesterday I think. Hope that doesn’t show up on the drug testing after the wreck.

I always thought that was similar to a chip in the windshield. Part of the coverage and doesn’t really affect your rates.

It’s as simple as some reports use “customers” and some use “people” and everyone thinks it’s the same.

Serious response to serious post. Turn the gas starter off once the wood has started burning on its own. It is not designed to burn constantly and you’re wasting money/gas/logs.

My guess is that someone with iPhone shared with a poor or old with non-iPhone. Then that person uploaded. That’s what it looks like when I share to certain family members with ancient technology.
