    Illinois governor just said on CNN that rejects the notion that Trump can send military troops into his state. 

    I think SC was saying the same thing in March/April 1861...

  2. Coming from a Facebook post:

     

    I'm convinced this Chinese virus was designed to destroy the American economy, and perhaps to take us over when we are weak. At the very least it was designed to destroy freedom. It affects the older people with underlying health conditions more than younger people. Why? Because the younger generations have been brain washed, the older people who didn't partake in the hippy shit aren't fucked up mentally enough to just bow down to the Communist agenda. Kill off enough of the older people who still have any sense, and the Communist Democratic party wins. This disease was created by Democrat Elitists with intent to destroy America, and I'm very scared it may work. Communism is so close to winning, and true Freedom is about to die. When you fuckers who think Socialism is the answer are at my doorsteps begging for food, just know I'll just as soon piss on your head as help you.

    UTSA going to all online classes the rest of the semester. Also extending spring break a week.

    an UTSA update:
     

    When classes resume on Monday March 23, 2020, face-to-face classes will no longer meet in person for at least the ensuing three weeks. Faculty will conduct classes, assignments, tests, quizzes and any other classroom activities for students virtually, using online technologies and other remote strategies suitable to the learning objectives of the course. 

    Because of the extension of spring break, the academic calendar has been extended by three additional days.  The final day of classes will now be May 8, 2020.

    In turn, the exam schedule will be compressed to 5 days. Final exams will start May 11, 2020 and end May 15, 2020. As of right now, commencement will be May 16 and 17 as planned.

    I really like the new Travis County machines.  It's all electronic, but it then spits out a paper ballot, which has both a bar code and the name of the candidate selected.  You then take that paper ballot over to a scanner.  

    Having the name on the paper ballot does provide some back-up, which I appreciate.

    Sounds like the same machines in Bexar County. Felt better voting last week with them than the Atari designed ones the county previously had.
