  1. Biden needs to ban Republicans from getting vaccinated. Then they will fight like crazy for the vaccine.
  2. I'm going to use that in class tomorrow.
  3. Thank you. We need to start playing some games.
  4. They shut the road down and have a team of investigators there. For a non fatal, single car, accident?
  5. Yeah. That's right. I thought they were separate
  6. I was just coming to post that. I hope he recovers.
  7. I didn't see it yet. I thought that was in the fall.
  8. It's honestly not THE reason I stick with TMo, but it's a big reason.
  9. Mark your calendars
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.

    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.

    Any recommendations on an Android tablet?
  15. Interesting that the Mariners are considered a step up for Kenny or Rick in the eyes of Sox fans.

    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.
  17. I think we just found TLR a driver! @Dick Allen did you have to look up the name?
  18. Third worse blackout in US history. I love Al Franken and like Ted Cruz more than most people and I hate Ted Cruz.
  19. Sometimes a person needs a break, someone to help them rehabilitate. Chicago White Sox Giving Hall of Famer criminals a chance since 2021(tm)
  20. That's the problem with alcohol, when you most need good judgment about the alcohol the alcohol clouds that judgment. Plan the trip home before the start.
  21. Some teams spend $75,000 on an interpreter. Can the Sox afford a driver? Especially since we are "all in".
  22. When friendships and team image get tossed aside and the only thing that matters is winning, you hire the guy!
  23. Now 72 and sunny. I love this weather lol Of the changes that hopefully will come out of this I'm hoping voters remember Rafael Cruz heading off to Mexico during the storm. I can't believe he didn't fly private. Arrogance in the highest degree. Another change is many of the folks that run the grid aren't residents of Texas. I think that will get moved on. It's low hanging fruit for politicians. The latest estimate to bring this up to the level of preparedness for the next storm of the century is about $4 billion. Mostly going to private oil and gas well companies. If the Dems have their way we'll interconnect either east or west and have the rest of the country pay for it. Cruz would have been helpful if Trump had been reelected, I don't see Biden being in too much of a hurry to help out the senators from Texas so I'm assuming that won't change. Of the two links to other grids, Mexico was able to send a little electricity. The Eastern grid wasn't able to send any, they were dealing with their own issues caused by the storm. Some believe the failure of the Texas grid could have caused wider outages across the east coast had there been broader access so I'm assuming folks that run that grid aren't in a hurry to link. There is sparse interconnect between the three grids. Even the eastern and western grids don't connect much. The engineering to truly create one grid is fascinating. Just the AC versus DC decision with changing technology is worth a read. There have been recommendations for years to update the 30 and 40 year old connections between the eastern and western grids. While Texas electricity is unavailable, Texas oil and gas are used to power a lot of the electricity that is generated in the US. And this won't go down as the largest blackout in US history. It will probably be third in total people affected and likely v won't jump start a music revolution.
  24. I have a banquet hall booked for April 1st that holds 250 people. Only vaccinated people will get it. I have a band booked. It should be epic.
