  1. There are a number of “first” groups that are usually geared towards anti-mask and whatever other privileges you can imagine. Usually the hot topic of the moment. A lot of parents are using that slogan/name like in other districts to try and solidify their “movement”. I think the ones in DSISD are trying to for a PAC out of their “first” group.
  2. Sure, rapid tests are never going to be as accurate. I'm 90% sure that we got it last January from my asymptomatic daughter who was contact traced at school. The rest of the family got it and we were in bed for the next 1.5 weeks while she just did her thing with nothing appearing wrong. We have been pretty careful and have a bubble of other families that we hang out with and none of them got it, so the only place I can think we got it from is my daughter who was asymptomatic the whole time. Or that one time I went to HEB and passed a bunch of people and weren't around any of them for 15 min. The asymptomatic transmission seems more likely.
  3. Because an asymptomatic person can still transmit the virus. We need to limit transmission as much as possible. If someone has close contact per the CDC guidelines then they should test.
  4. Let's try this. Let me know if it doesn't work. DSISD Board Meeting.MOV
  5. Did that and it didn’t work. I can try again in a bit.
  6. Yeah, I have the posting talent of a child. If someone can give me advice on how to post a video I can try. If not, send me a DM.
  7. I have the video if someone can post it. DM me with your email and I will send it over.
  8. DSISD cases have doubled for students since last night 11 to 22 and employee almost tripled from 5 to 14. This is just the beginning. They couldn't find a sub for one of the teachers so 2 classes went out into a pod and one teacher taught both. Now instead of one class being exposed you would have two in the event that someone was positive.
  9. Not in DSISD. There is no remote learning for students who choose to quarantine. They essentially have to teach themselves and do the work on their own until they return to school.
  10. No idea. They have a canned response for all teachers when asked by a parent. Something like “that is a personal conversation and not appropriate for this setting”. The wording is probably not 100 percent accurate, but close enough.
  11. Just got 2 emails for my 6th grader in DSISD that she was in a classroom with someone who is now positive. Looks like 2 separate teachers are the reason and one is confirmed to have not been wearing a mask. She is 12 and gets her 2nd shot this week. Hoping that the first shot was enough.
  12. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/19/texas-drops-mask-mandate-ban-schools-506339?fbclid=IwAR0ULMl685XqEhZ6GpfbxQbq-j9MSAW0QDJ7zw1xSyANraYtyC-nzZI3Q2c
  13. Dripping Springs took no action at the board meeting last night. Sent a message out that masks are strongly encouraged. While at the board meeting I was confronted by someone declaring that I was a plant to cause division since I was wearing a mask. Said “you don’t even have kids that go here”…turns out the Hay County Freedom Network sent a bunch of folks to Dripping to yell at the board. Every accusation is a confession.
  14. Yeah, it’s bad. Wouldn’t surprise me if DSISD ended up on the news like that Tennessee district. Edit: may end up being nothing with the TX Sc ruling earlier.
  15. Not just hays cisd. Supposed to be all of hays county. Dripping springs is going hard on both sides of the issue. Schools board meeting tomorrow night and it’s not going to be pretty.
  16. Bought the 40v(4Ah) Ryobi weed eater last year and the 40v(6Ah) mower in June. Love both and haven't had any issues with power or finishing the lawn(mostly St. Augustine) with the battery that came with the mower. I was really tired of dealing with gas so this has been great for me.
  17. My puppy actually got a hold of mine and tore it to pieces.
  18. 12 yr old just got her first vaccination yesterday. We all had COVID in late January(probably from school). My wife(no pics), 15 yr old son and I had no issues with the vaccination. My daughter who got COVID, but who was the only asymptomatic one of us in January is feeling it today. Mostly tired with spurts of energy and a sore arm.
  19. He will die. My impression was that he was drinking from the grail all along and that is what kept him alive so long. Grail fell down the giant hole, so he will die.

    High

    In Colorado the gummies are $17 for 10 x 10mg. The fast acting ones are a little more at $25 (20 x 5mg)
  21. I really enjoyed it. My daughter who groans about everything MCU even liked it. The first 45 min went by quick with lots of action and I thought the chemistry of the actors was great. I'll want to watch it again in a few months, but damn it felt good to be in a theater.
