2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
I threw everything from the fridge in the yeti late yesterday thinking the freezer would be okay. Problem is, the second bottle of wine put me to sleep sometime around 10pm and by the time I awoke from my little catnap, it was 715 am and the entire contents of the freezer had gone temperate. This one is on me fellas. The wine wasn’t even that good.

Over 18 hours now without power in NW Hills. Glad I bought nearly $100 worth of meat yesterday morning.

A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
I just watched it. He was actually, quite surprisingly, eloquent, appreciative, and might I even suggest, presidential. just kidding. It was awful. Adios mofo.

Pollen: Texas ongoing thread
Will today be better? Id like to at least try and see the sun and sky at some point today. I wish there was an actual allergy forecast out there.

“for all mankind” - streaming this fall on apple+
Judging by that backdrop, I guess the polar icecaps melt in S2.

Office Chairs
Go steal...er...borrow one from your work office and bring it home. Preferably one from one of the conference rooms. More chairs = less likely the bossman will notice one missing.

Urban ordeal, what did UT learn?
That no one knew anything and we were all taken for $9.95. The revisionist history, backtracking and excuse making by every.single.person who made a prediction was just the covering of the asses because they were wrong, lied to, used, whatever. Not a big deal, that’s just big time sports in 2021 Sark may have been the first choice all along or he may have only become an option when choices #1-9 said ‘no’. No one likely knows aside from CDC, who, for all intensive purposes, did his job admirably.

This is the Jeopardy! Thread of Encompassment [RIP Alex Trebek]
Next up: Katie Couric, Aaron Rodgers, Mayim Bialik (had no idea she was Blossom until I looked it up right now,) and Bill Whitaker. Whitaker should be a great one. Still hoping for a Dan Patrick and Mike Rowe appearance at some point.

CFP National Championship: Alabama vs Ohio State
I still don’t get it. Why is Justin Fields still a supposed #2 pick? Because the experts pegged him as one two years ago and they’re too stubborn to change course? The J-E-T-S’ gonna set themselves back another decade come April.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
I will be curious to see what Abbott ultimately decides. On one hand, he said he’s not closing down business any further and on the other, he has his own order.

Washington @ Buccaneers: NFC Wild Card Game
We’ve heard all our lives the goal line “wraps around the globe” but now you have to hit the pylon if your jumping out of bounds. When did this change?

The thought of navigating your boat in the open sea amongst wreckage from a plane which crashed directly in front you is a horrifying image.

Shart 2021: Shit Can Always Get Worse
Son of a bitch. Checking-in on the morn of January 8th. Made it until mid-August last year and had not been a participant on any of the preceding threads for nearly a decade. Now, here I am back-to-back in less than six months. No excuses this time either. Been eating clean and not drinking this first week of January. This is bad.

Pollen: Texas ongoing thread
I’ve been here my entire life and I still can’t figure out the six-week cycle of Cedar. Cold wind coming from the north, terribad. A warm, humid wind coming from the south, equally as bad. Rain seems to help but then again our Top Five highest count ever was just a couple days after record rainfall in Central Austin. It would be great if there was a way to actually forecast these things and have an idea on whether or not the following day is okay for drinking beer and grilling on the patio for a few mins or if it’s going to be another total lockdown day.

Joint Session of Congress to Count Electoral Votes and Declare Election Results: 1/6/21
If Trump wrote that it’s only because a military general forced him to do so, likely alone in a locked room surrounded by 3-4 other soldiers.

There’s a good chance some general or SS agent is going to choke Trump out this evening.

The US Capitol has been Breached [Action and Developing stories]
I don’t know how are you safely can start the vote again within the coming days? They’re going to have to send bomb squads in there and flush every square inch to ensure the unthinkable doesn’t happen.

Pollen: Texas ongoing thread
Austin had the second highest mold count in its history back in September and today marked the second highest pollen count ever recorded as well. Real winner of an allergy season we got ourselves here.

China and their ‘Jack Ma Problem’
Well, maybe not a problem any more. Ma has not been seen in public for more than two months and now, reportedly, he appears to be missing in private as well. Ma has been very outspoken about China and their regulations for years but has really amped up the negative pr the past six months or so. This would be ballsy even for the CCP.
