  1. Any real estate lawyers in Austin on here? Neighbor pumped out his pool into our yard and then took down the chainlink that denoted the property line.

    Ya I’m using whole wheat, I read that it has more flora so you have Less difficulty getting it going. After the feeding this morning it’s roughly doubled in size by noon, so i feel like I’m on the right track. Something that is confusing is it had way more acidic flavor on ~day3 than today. Also, anyone use a dough scraper? And how useful is a banetton? I feel like the last thing I need is something else to take up space in the kitchen cabinets but I usually have issues transferring from the bowl or whatever I use for proofing to the Dutch oven.
  3. Tylenol good, ibuprofen bad for covid19. Something about being in respiratory distress due to cytokine storm and confusing the body's signaling regarding the proper amount of immune response. But if you don't have the covids, ibuprofen is fine.

    So I'm on Day 3 of growing a sourdough starter, and I've got bubbles as well as a nice yeasty aroma. Hopefully the twice a day feedings can get it up and running by Sunday so I can give it a shot. We'll see.
  5. Ya there's a nasty adenovirus going around too. My oldest had 103+ 3 weeks ago, not a single symptom other than that. We started WFH at that point anyways, but everyone else in the house was able to deal with whatever it was without any symptoms. All I got is that companies that do viral testing are going to make bank on the backside of this crisis.

    So if anyone is interested, it's day 2 of my attempt to grow a sourdough starter. No bubbles yet, still looks like normal dough.

    I finally decided to get off my ass and make a sourdough starter seeing as I am down to 9 packets of yeast and we're eating a good bit of homemade bread these days. We'll see how this goes.
  9. I was thinking of getting Jester King for lunch today seeing as my better half really enjoys their beer and they're not doing so hot. Blanc de Bois Gewurztraminer Coferm - $36 for a crowler. Damn. Even the mainstays are $17. We both still have jobs but maybe I'll just be getting pizza.
  10. Interesting. I was on a work trip 2 weeks ago with someone who has since tested positive, and they said as long as I don't have a fever or anything, no test. Quarantine 2 weeks and call us if you show symptoms. At this point I'm assuming our family had it and was one of the lucky few that was largely unaffected. I'm sure that means we'll actually catch it at some point in the near future.
  11. Germany also has widespread testing for anyone who wants it.
  12. I just got news that one of the guys on a business trip I was on March 9th-14th has been given a positive diagnosis. Just called Travis County hotline, they said call primary care. Primary care doc said quarantine 14 days from no symptoms, not testing any of us unless we require medical care. I had a case of the runs Saturday, wife feels like someone is sitting on her chest. She had a slight fever Friday but nothing over the 100.4 threshold. I've got a 3 year old with a vivid imagination and a 7 month old. This sucks.
  13. Dude, unless you can't breathe or can't get a dangerous fever under control stay the f home. What would you do differently if you have it as compared to if you don't? You should be holed up with netflix and delivery either way.
  14. I’m in Vegas for a trade show that normally attracts 150k people from all over the globe. They just announced it is closing a day early so I’m getting an earlier flight home. I assume at this point I’ve been exposed as I’ve been here since Monday. My mom has been staying at the house to help out with the kids. I just had to tell her to be on her way back to her house before I get back from the airport. This shit sucks.
  15. So now is the time to buy? Or is that next week?
  16. I obviously don’t have any idea what you’re going through, but hang in there Wally.

  18. Welp, first patient in Austin being tested by CDC as it fits the travel criteria, apparently the testing started Monday.
  19. It was more directed at the comments regarding healthcare finances, as i thought they had veered away from pertaining to this particular ourbreak. not scrolling back to see if you were involved.
  20. anyone watching live? I have the liveblog going and saw torriera was taken straight to an ambulance after a heavy tackle
  21. We have a big conference in Vegas in 2 weeks with around 130000 attendees from all over the globe. Will be interesting to see how this shakes out.
