  1. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/24/opinions/texas-electric-power-russo/index.html If Texas were its own country, we would be the world's sixth-largest wind energy producer. Though California is thought to be the leader in renewable energy in the US, Texas has more installed solar and wind capacity. With more solar and wind power projects planned to come online in the next five years than in any other state, our solar power market is about to be Texas-sized as well.
  2. https://www.npr.org/2021/02/25/971444220/john-geddert-former-usa-gymnastics-coach-facing-criminal-charges Wow. My heart breaks for all the victims.
  3. I don't know, that whole flood the earth thing was pretty bad ass.
  4. It looks like I'm getting the Pfizer vaccine. My wife was there today. The facility is in a space that formerly was a major department store. Thousands of people being pushed through. They are using three levels of the building. She felt like cattle and since in her previous life she owned a dairy farm with many hundreds of cows, she should know.
  5. I was just thinking one of my ETFs probably has a short position. CLIX is long on all of the on line retailers and short on brick and mortar stores. It's down a lot this week.
  6. Paying them what they are worth is why the owners won't go for it. I'm wondering how many posters here can remember the days before free agency?
  7. The owners probably won't like it but I'd like to see a drafting team have control of the player for a set period of time regardless of level assigned. My idea is a team has control for seven or eight years then the player would be a free agent.
  8. One of my neighbors took delivery of a 2021 F250. I have truck envy. I must resist.
  9. Biden needs to ban Republicans from getting vaccinated. Then they will fight like crazy for the vaccine.
  10. I'm going to use that in class tomorrow.
  11. Thank you. We need to start playing some games.
  12. They shut the road down and have a team of investigators there. For a non fatal, single car, accident?
  13. Yeah. That's right. I thought they were separate
  14. I was just coming to post that. I hope he recovers.
  15. I didn't see it yet. I thought that was in the fall.
  16. It's honestly not THE reason I stick with TMo, but it's a big reason.
  17. I'm wondering if one of the long terms gains will be the ability to more quickly identify at a minimum new Covid strains and work quicker to prevent widespread outbreaks. Similar to the flu. So when Covid-27 hits we will avoid much of this. Or even a combination flu and Covid vaccine.
  18. 2/24 marks the one year anniversary of his second DUI. Please take a moment to remember all of the victims of drunk driving crashes. While we've debated his fitness as manager of our beloved team we sometimes forget that impaired driving happen everyday, in every community, by folks like us. Everyone can be made an example of. Perhaps if we use his negative example to promote safer choices, maybe, just maybe, something good will come of all this. The biggest challenge with alcohol is when we most need our best judgement about the affect of the drinks we've consumed, alcohol fights back and attempts to take away that judgment. We need to plan before we go.
  19. It doesn't matter if you as an individual is bothered. I very large segment of their fan base was bothered. A mediocre to great franchise quickly moves to end the situation before it escalates or happens a second time. A poorly run organization will claim the owner made a decision to keep him, he deserved a third chance (paid off women he harassed) and no one else in the organization knew about it.
  20. It's unfair to compare labor costs with south Texas but for a 6.2L engine it was $3,500 total. Took them three days. The engine had 30,000 or so miles on it. But F150s are the most popular vehicles here so spare engines are plentiful. Usually the cheapest car to own is the one you already own.

    2021 Catch-All

    Any recommendations on an Android tablet?
  22. Interesting that the Mariners are considered a step up for Kenny or Rick in the eyes of Sox fans.
  23. We just put a used engine in my son's F150 for about $3,500. Perhaps that's because they are very plentiful around here.
