  1. I was enjoying listening to Ward grill Adler with some good questions but is there an app for this thing, the streaming format is awful on my end? Getting blasted with ED commercials every 30 seconds (twss) and it’s become unlistenable.
  2. That’s what I plan to do as well. I started the process several days before it was even open for independent contractors and my bank -one of the big multinationals- told me they were already capped or weren’t going to offer depending on who you asked (because I could never seemingly get past the first step of talking to anything more than a teller). I talked to several other banks and they were only offering to current banking customers. Finally found a good local one late last week which said they would help me with the process. I’ve already told them if it goes through I plan to move all my accounts over with them same day.
  3. If I ask a series of weather-related questions will you stick around for a while and answer? I’m thinking like 1-2/day for the next year or so.
  4. https://myremedy.com/remedy-opens-drive-through-testing-open-air-clinic-in-south-austin/ You’ll do a brief phone interview then they’ll assign you a time if you meet the criteria. The ex called Monday and was getting tested same-day. She has no symptoms but had a flu in late January which lasted about 7-10 days which she suspected may be Covid so they told her to swing by.
  5. The drive-thru antibody test clinic in South Austin is around $50.
  6. Wish it was the afternoon format but glad he’s back regardless.
  7. Eldorado is supposedly opening back up in the next few weeks. No word on Y Mas but I doubt it.
  8. A Vince McMahon biopic is going to make for a GREAT movie one day. Hope it’s done correctly.
  9. I didn’t really know which streaming thread this belonged therefore I figured a new topic may be best. WRT Covid and the shutdown, has there been any talk yet among the major movie studios about shifting some of their blockbuster spring and summer releases on to streaming platforms? The latest streaming numbers show demand for movies is at the highest it’s ever been, yet there is no current way to meet that need outside of streaming. Additionally, if things do ease up in the coming months the movie business may very well continue its downward trend anyway. I can’t foresee a scenario where Americans -who will have been locked up inside their homes for months- will be running outside just to then go sit inside again at a theater for three hours. I don’t know the economics of the business but I think most would happily pay $15-20 to watch a movie like ‘A Quiet Place 2’ at home right. Seems like that’s easily more than they’d garner at the theaters and your potential customer base is arguably higher than it will ever be again. Why not bite the bullet and capitalize?
  10. I’ve had a major craving for some TurfNSurf the past two days. I just checked online to see what their limited menu looked like and I see they are now closed. Damn. The owner’s IG comments looked pretty ominous too.
  11. What site do you use for the daily counts? I have found KVUE in KXAN to be too unreliable.
  12. Yesterday was awful.
  13. What really confuses me is places like Pinthouse closing? That one stings. Most the pizza guys I’ve talked to are actually doing fairly well relatively speaking. Couple that with their beer business and they seemed like they would have been better positioned than most to sustain in this environment. One day before they closed all their locations the line at their Burnet location was wrapped around the building and on to Burnet. The only thing I could think of the only thing I could think of (and this is 100% speculation) is perhaps one of their employees came down sick?
  14. Your absolute position is silly.
  15. Interdasting. I’m be curious as to some of the others? I can’t think of many which have blown through the 10k, 20k and soon-to-be 25k replies as quickly as this one.
  16. @blacklab I would be curious how the traffic on this thread compares to others over the years and at the TOS? Aside from perhaps a few game threads, sur(e)ly (heh) this thread it’s up near the top all time right?
  17. Back of my throat was on fire the moment I woke up. Thought I was getting sick. So glad (kinda, but not really) to see this thread bumped.
  18. Pinthouse has now officially closed until this is over.
  19. Is there a group of people, aside from perhaps the homeless, whom Adler HASN’T yet alienated? Even all of his RE buddies have cast him aside.
  20. Austinites- is Town Lake Trail now closed as of noon or is it still open?
