No, this is a nightmare. No computers work and the only way to fix them is to touch every single one. Then the people in charge will be bitching at you about why you ever spent so much money on Crowdstrike in the first place because it's not cheap. Then you'll have to find a new endpoint security product and they'll bitch about how much it costs. Then you get to roll it out. It's a shitton of work because someone at Crowdstrike was a dumbass.
Then the new product will have some issue and take down yours or all of the internet because software sucks and is written by humans. -

I mean the IT facet I get. Can and should be allowed to work from anywhere. I'd assume that's all down to managers. I guess my thought is...what other vast amounts of staff (not IT) are working 2-3 days off campus a week? Certanily not janitors, or librarians, etc. I guess my real question, is how many "staff" positions don't bascially have to be in person already? I guess I'm completely ignorant.
Sure, I can get student facing and facilities personnel. All positions is a big deal, especially when the university has reclaimed physical space and offices had moved to co-working areas.

Genuine ignorance here ... are there a significant number of University positions still working remotely?
Oh yeah and with people who live in other states.

Figured this was the best place. They are going to lose a lot of people.
Dear UT community,Beginning this fall semester, the University will require almost all staff members to work on site full time. This will be a significant change for some members of our community, so it is important to take a step back and explain why requiring in-person work best supports our culture and reinforces the teaching and research mission of our University.
Staff members can most effectively serve our students, faculty, fellow staff members, and other stakeholders when working together in an environment that fosters collaboration, innovation, availability, and reliability. Our vibrant campus community helps distinguish our great University, and as members of our staff, you contribute to that vibrancy each day. We are here because of our students, and your consistent presence will help provide a more complete and engaging learning experience for students throughout campus.
Leaders of colleges, schools, and units will work through the logistics of these changes and, by early July, will finalize their plans to bring most staff members back to on-site work full time. All plans will be fully implemented by Aug. 19, which is one week before the start of fall classes. Based on the revised guidelines, a small number of roles will continue to be eligible for remote or hybrid work at the discretion of the supervisor and college, school, or unit leader. These roles will be characterized by observable productivity; work that is transactional, internal, or service related; or functions that require high levels of individual time to perform.
For all staff members, some occasions may call for irregular schedules or intermittent remote work that does not require formal arrangements. Managers will continue to make those decisions on an as-needed basis.
Thank you for your work and your profound dedication to our Longhorn community. I look forward to having students, faculty, and staff together on the Forty Acres as we continue to make this the world’s highest-impact public research university.Sincerely yours,Jay Hartzell

NO FUCKKNG WAY. I think they just "landed" that thing. That thing had the wing nearly ripped off and I think they did it.
Yeah, surprisingly that flap was still working after half of it melted away -

Posting because this was kind of unusual in.. not 'posta happen.
Last night's version of strong storms which have essentially been parked all week along a frontal boundary straddling TX/OK border running NE into AR, MO and IA set off a strong outflow boundary (a buncha cold air pushing down the storms and out, i.e. S/SW towards us) which like a blowdryer simply pushed all the unstable, smoky, muggy air outta CenTex and replaced it with dry air. It kicked up some storms but not nearly the activity that it could have... I think one reason is that the boundary whooshed by so fast (it kinda took on a life of its own rolling down the state) that storms simply didn't have much of a chance to build - at least here (east of us there was a larger chunk of Gulf stanky moist air, and the boundary wasn't as fast-moving there and had time to kick up some mess).
Once the wind started whooshing by me at 40 mph I knew something was weird... it was supposed to be muggy most of the day, but suddenly it's 83° and sunny (after a brief light shower). I wasn't expecting a strong front coming in, but that's pretty much what happened... this outflow boundary got so much punch it essentially acted like a major front. Simply pushed out all the muggy air and the atmosphere got much more stable (and capped). Definitely not the way this afternoon was supposed to look (but I'll take it).
As a result, the severe weather forecast for most of CenTex has been downgraded - the atmosphere is nowhere nearly as unstable this morning. However, the heat of the day combined with storms forming N of us and moving S is still a possibility. However, most of the worst is now forecast to be NE of the Austin area. Chances are good that no rain will come out of this for many in ATX, more likely the farther E/NE you live from Austin.
Frankly I'll take it. I know rain is a precious commodity right now, but the severe setup for this evening wasn't very reassuring - good chance of very strong winds, a few tornadoes, and hail in a good part of the are (3 out of 5 "enhanced" risk). Now it's 2 out of 5, which basically means less chance over your house in particular. It could still throw a severe storm or 2 in the area, but a 2 is a lot less worrisome than a 3. Also, some good chances of rain all week so not completely hopeless.
Just thought this was worth it, since we got something that was not forecast at all, and completely turned the day around weatherwise, FWIW.

Christian murdered his teacher in the Murchison room next to my nephew’s class.
I was at Lamar.
Just talked to a paralegal I work with last week about this and she was in the damn room when it happened. -
Storm just missed my cars that were in a parking lot of one of the dripping springs middle schools. Any further west and both would have been trashed

No idea. Was not in the article. Vote is this week. Kyle City Manager is on record saying we don't have a water problem in San Marcos. To hell we don't.
Kyle already pulls from here and from Canyon Lake, which was stated above as being low as well as the highland lakes.
Yeah, we have water problems all over the area. Doesn't San Marcos pull from Canyon lake as well? So same straw different meter.
There are a significant amount of people using ridiculous amounts of water. In my area there are a number of houses using 40k gallons a month. Water is a vital and limited resource and folks don't understand it just doesn't come out of the tap or sprinkler head via magic. It is going to take everyone conserving to ensure we have water to drink over the next decade.

Kyle is asking San Marcos for 450,000 more gallons a day. Not sure where San Marcos will get it.
I guess rapid growth, green lawns, new builds and other shit has an impact on water needs.
I wonder how many water taps that is for. That’s about what my area of 1000 homes uses a day…which is ridiculous. -
streamflows are starting to slow. We need some more rain in those basins while the ground is soaked.
-
Yep. I believe we are close to 100,000 acre feet added in the last week. That takes us over the 900k acre ft that requires LCRA customers to go to Stage 2 restrictions. That being said, to go back to Stage 1 restrictions the lakes need to be at 1.1 million and inflows need to be flowing. The rain last weekend did a lot and will possibly help the area from going to stage 4 later in the summer.

He'll be at McCallum. It's not bad, but it's not Westlake or Westwood.
There's a young lawyer at my law firm who went to the Kealing magnet for middle school, and he would have gone to LASA, but UT had just implemented the Top 10% rule, and his dad told him he needed to go to Austin High. Good decision in the long run.
I have heard of kids going to Bowie the first couple of years and then transferring to Crocket to get into the top 10% or 6.5%....whatever UT is requiring these days.

Look at the units in the first tweet. It's that number x 1000, or at least that's how I read it.
I’m dumb, delete user -
If that number is correct, Samsung consumes 2,438,050,700,000 gallons per year, or 7,482,104 acre ft. / year. For reference, Lake Travis at full is 1.1M acre ft. So Samsung consumes nearly 7 FULL Lake Travises annually?!
You have an extra 3 zeros on the end
~325,000 gallons to acre foot
So around 7500 acre feet.
Still a lot of water. -

So who ordered the dean of students message yesterday if Hartzell didn’t have anything to do with this?
If he is just being told what to do and doesn’t agree with it then burn the house down. -

Dear UT community,
This has been a challenging day for many. We have witnessed much activity we normally do not experience on our campus, and there is understandably a lot of emotion surrounding these events.
Today, our University held firm, enforcing our rules while protecting the Constitutional right to free speech. Peaceful protests within our rules are acceptable. Breaking our rules and policies and disrupting others’ ability to learn are not allowed. The group that led this protest stated it was going to violate Institutional Rules. Our rules matter, and they will be enforced. Our University will not be occupied.
The protesters tried to deliver on their stated intent to occupy campus. People not affiliated with UT joined them, and many ignored University officials’ continual pleas for restraint and to immediately disperse. The University did as we said we would do in the face of prohibited actions. We were prepared, with the necessary support to maintain campus operations and ensure the safety, well-being and learning environment for our more than 50,000 students.
We are grateful for the countless staff members and state and University law enforcement officers, as well as support personnel who exercised extraordinary restraint in the face of a difficult situation that is playing out at universities across the country. There is a way to exercise freedom of speech and civil discourse, and our Office of the Dean of Students has continued to offer ways to ensure protests can happen within the rules. The University of Texas will continue to take necessary steps so that all our University functions proceed without interruption.
Sincerely yours,
Jay Hartzell

Can’t find the original though which is making me skeptical.
Yeah, looks like she is a professor at UT. Just wanted to make sure before I sent it to others.
I hope it is real

A lot of HOA's have 90 day sign rules. 90 days before the election is this week. I would imagine more and more signs for both candidates soon.
