  1. We filled out the paper work to start a kindergartner in person yesterday rather than virtual. Debated it heavily, but opted for normalcy. I’m WFH until mid Q4 at the earliest. If he or classmates gets a positive it’ll impact wife pretty badly as she’ll have to stop her income for 14 days minimum. He asks daily about seeing friends and starting school. Also started asking, “after corona virus can we...” lately that breaks my heart.

    Still unsure if they’ll actually have students go in at the rate county cases are growing.

    2-3yr preschool is likely to start virtual, and we’ll be a giant PITA for me to try and do from home while working and watching a new born.

    A lot of fucked up people mentally of every age. Sorry if sending my kid back to school (if it opens) makes me bad citizen, but go watch NumberBlocks or Minions for the 4000th time while dad works is no way to raise an inquisitive 5 year old.

  2. We are a dried deer sausage/cheese cube/cracker/peanut butter pretzel type rig.   But mines self bailing and a bit easier to clean up the messes than yalls. 


    I’ll bring some banana bread!

    Have at least 2 stained fishing shirts from your partner. Not from fish guts, blood, or matagorda mud, but coffee.

    05:30: “Hey T, let me know when your going to hit it so I can chug this coffee and ditch the cup.”

  3. That thing is some garbage deal the previous Executive Director tried to cut and we're still haunted by it. 

     

    But if y'all can, please join HookedIn.  It connects us as alumni with students who need guidance and we spent a lot of time sculpting it to be effective.  

    Had no idea that HookedIn existed.

     

    Just joined via my LinkedIn account took less than 5min on a boring ass risk assessment conf call.

     

    1000x better than a triple platinum diamond package directory no one is going to buy. (Could I interest you in the gold package which comes with the leather bound directory a tote bag and stationary pad?)

  4. Of course, law school professors say a lot of things. Check it out, I found a quote too!!!

    “I think the university may be in a difficult position, but if it has procedures that it can follow, they can probably impose penalties if there’s some violation of those procedures,” he said. “Free speech doesn’t protect everything. And it may be that this crosses some line for the university.”

    Tobias said, however, that taking such action would likely require due process.

    “Giving somebody due process takes time to do it right,” he said. “You may need to have a hearing, you may need to investigate. And you can’t turn that on a dime.”

    Carl Tobias, University of Richmond school of law. I’m sure your Llano Estacado 1st amendment analysis is on par with Mr. Tobias’.

  5. Per upthread convo-

  6. I’m still rocking 7.2 until it becomes crash-a-talk.

    I get an error, but maybe not the same one on timeline, but hardly ever get it for unread or participated. Usually a simple refresh works. If not Clear cache. Turn off video and pic previews in settings then try again.

    Anyone have the thing where it removes posts you know exist towards the bottom of a thread?

    Mine will occasionally go say Op-#16, #22, #23, #22, #23. Almost always that same pattern of repeating last 2 posts of a thread when there’s missing content. Have to close the ap and relaunch.

  7. So what we need to do is send all the unemployed pedicab folks to the island to ferry folks back and forth.
     
    Tough way to make a living.


    Oooof level high.

    Name something worse than carrying drunk overweight Texans around a humid night of Downtown Austin, River walk, ACL or HLS&R; Pedicabbing drunk sunburn Texans on sand in the afternoon heat of July 4th weekend on the STX coast!
  8.  


    Lulz. Estimated 1.4 Bil vehicles on the road. Assuming 1:1 replacement and that Tesla continues to hit targets and churn out 100k units / qtr only 14,000 qtrs to go!

    Aside from the apples oranges comparison of XOM to a vehicle/battery/technology manufacturer, 1 has a PE of 10.3 the other is somewhere around ~250. Without googling the car makers on the chart I’m guessing they’re all 5-25 range for PE ratios.
  9. Didn’t come close? If your race has been victims of modern day lynchings you might feel differently. These aren’t just jokes or dark humor.

    I’ll just leave this here.

    “A student at a public university making an extremely offensive statement on social media is almost quintessentially the kind of thing that should be protected against sanctioning by public authorities,” said Mark Tushnet, a Harvard Law School professor.

    I’m sure your legal analysis and study of the 1st amendment is on par with Mark Tushnet.

  10. https://www.k-state.edu/sga/judicial/student-code-of-conduct.html
     

    Big bold letters at the top. “Neither this nor any other university policy is violated by actions that amount to expression protected by the state or federal constitutions or by related principles of academic freedom.”

    He isn’t on campus, so doubt he broke their information and technology codes. I’m not going to look-up. 

    He didn’t come close to violating 3, 14, 15, or 16, imo. And even if some SG and faculty panel decides he did violate one, his freedom of expression trumps it per the above. 
     

    No one has to like what he tweeted, but it is well within his rights to “say it” and stay enrolled at a public university in any state.
