    Coming up on 24 hours without power (78704), good times. The outage status has  been updated to "One or more crews have been assigned" but I suppose that can still mean sometime tomorrow before they get to it.

    The power came back on ~45 minutes after the post above. It stayed on for a minute or two then out again... then came back on again 10 minutes later and has stayed on with a couple of blinks. I'm hoping it holds but at least have had some coffee now so if it goes out again it was a nice reprieve.

  2. Monday evening I took my first dose of Paxlovid and when I woke up Tuesday morning the fever, chills, and headache were gone and have not returned- all that remains is some lingering congestion. Fingers crossed things hold (and of course finishing out the Paxlovid in hopes of preventing the rebound experience some have reported).

  3. As of today I have Covid for the first time. I woke up with chills, fever, and congestion. A few hours later I did a home test and it was positive. I called my GP's office to see if there was anything to do beyond just ride it out and they gave me a Paxlovid prescription- just took the first dose. 

    I'm current on vaccinations so hopefully it stays mild. The only symptoms so far have been chills, congestion, and fever (topped out at 102 this morning but has gone down a little since then).

    Not sure how I avoided it for so long. I've been out and about most days since Spring 2021- many festivals, travel, etc. and somehow had avoided it until now.

    Watched White Noise and it's far too strange for me.  Best parts were in the trailer.

     

    I loved it. I hadn't seen the trailer and didn't know what it was about beyond the 2-sentence summary so I don't know if that aspect affected my enjoyment (no expectations going in).

    There's a whole lot going on and a lot of laughs. After getting into the swing of it I felt similarly as when watching Everything Everywhere All at Once- just roll with it and enjoy the ride w/out worrying about what's next or where it is going.

    There's a lot of creativity and artistry to appreciate in this one.

    Spoiler

    For example, I thought the Elvis lecture sequence was outstanding, especially when tying in the upcoming disaster.

    It's a lot of fun, but I can see how it wouldn't be for everybody.

    Sounds like folks that felt it in SA/Austin were upstairs in tallish buildings. 

    Sounds correct. April of 1995 in Lubbock the people reporting the earthquake far away were on the 5th floor or higher in their buildings. The epicenter was similar that year- Alpine/Marathon instead of Pecos.

    I was on the 10th floor of a building in Lubbock and felt it (250-300 miles from the epicenter)- my clothes were swaying on their hangers and my neighbor's fish tank developed waves that started spilling over. 

    My gf and I were on my bed watching a movie and she looked at me and said, "Are you doing that?". At first I didn't know what she meant but then noticed it right after (bed moving, hangers swaying) and that's when my neighbor burst in and yelled "WTF!?!?!?!" and told us about his fish tank. 

    Anyway, tldr- when farther away you're more likely to feel it if you're on higher floors of buildings.

  6. Great time, and @immamac fucking killed it with the carnitas and waygu brisket- amazing work and much appreciated! Can't remember the last time i shotgunned a beer (guessing 15+ years ago) but the festivities today were perfect for it.

    Great to meet some longtime posters for the first time and see those of you I've known for ages. Thanks for hosting these immamac, and a shout out to @BornAndRaised for all the work he's put in to make things run smoothly!

    If Chicago is a choice, I would think Cincinnati, Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee, and Madison would be choices as well.

    I spent a few days in Cincinnati during the Summer of 2019- had an absolute blast and would definitely consider living there for a few years if I was looking to move. Awesome town.
