    These fucking websites. The HEB one never works, and I’ve tried hundreds of times. Even when I choose one of the very rare ones with like 20 spots available, when it’s time to choose the time it always says “that time slow is already taken”. This morning I’ve also tried CVS, waited, got to where it starts asking you questions, then eventually “oops, can’t continue due to a technical glitch, bye”. But I kept at it and got farther to where it shows you a location and dates, and it asks you to choose a time, and then “sorry all time slots are taken”. Fuck this bullshit.

    I've had the same issues for the past few weeks.   I've just decided to wait, hoping there will be a vaccine glut in April/May.  My anti-infection protocol has worked for the past year, so I'm good for the next few months.   And, my protocol only gets better with time, because each person getting vaccinated now is one less person that I can catch the virus from.

    I have tried to get the HEB site to work literally hundreds of times. Click on the location, almost always land in a page that says no more shots at this location. Go back, keep trying. Every once in a long while it lets you choose a date and time. Whatever time slot I choose it says “that slot is no longer available”. Every fucking time.

    Same here. Same for CVS.  Is there some kind of trick or cheat code?

    Perhaps a stupid question. There's no apparent damage to our plumbing or water heater but we definitely have to turn the knobs in both showers further toward "hot" than we did pre-storm to achieve the same temperature. Does this suggest there's a slow leak somewhere in the hot lines or damage to the old water heater or something else? 

    The water heater has a temperature thermostat.  Check the thermostat - it may be set at a lower temperature than before.

    Looks like from the ercot graph something just came online. 

    Download the ERCOT app from Google Play or Apple AppStore to track the grid in real time.   It also will send notifications when the Emergency stages change.   

    Their App works better than their grid.

  5. Just watched the FB Live press conference with Austin city management/mayor.

    SUMMARY: Special thanks to everyone working so hard to resolve all these issues. Unprecedented.  The extended team are leveraging cross organizational synergies to formalize and coordinate dependencies. ERCOT bad. If you have power, reduce your thermostat. Everyone is working extremely hard on the synergistic coordination. Unprecedented.  Several task forces have been formed and will schedule planning sessions soon.  They are looking forward to coordinate the synergistic dependencies. ERCOT bad.  They also want to thank the first responders and everyone else that are working so hard on these issues.  If you have power, reduce your thermostat. We are all in this together - and we need to drive the synergy development process.  Unprecedented.  Again, please donate money to charities, because we are all in this together.  Again, special thanks to the people working to solve these problems.  ERCOT bad.  If you have power, reduce your thermostat.

    Tomorrow is trash day in our south Austin neighborhood, wonder if I should even bother putting it out?   I can’t imagine the trucks will be driving, our streets are slicker than owl shit.  I just skated down my driveway, barely avoiding busting my ass.  

    Friday is trash day in my neighborhood, and they never picked up it last Friday (12 Feb).  Trash bins still sitting at curb in the entire neighborhood.

    I found at least one mistake in that spreadsheet, and it was the only one I looked at.   For DeWitt county, there is no "UT Health Henderson Hospital", and there is no town called "Henderson" in that county.  DeWitt gonna get screwed this week.

    I wonder how many more mistakes are in that spreadsheet?

     

    Comparison of adjacent rural counties.   DeWitt County still getting fucked....

    Karnes County:
    Population:  12,394
    Doses distributed:  1300

    Gonzales County:  
    Population:  16,466
    Doses distributed:  1600

    Lavaca County:
    Population:  16,378
    Doses distributed: 1900

    DeWitt County:
    Population:  17,638
    Doses distributed:  800 !!

  8. Sark: "I know this much, The Eyes of Texas is our school song. We’re going to sing that song, we’re going to sing that proudly." Says that he knows there are tough discussions that need to happen. But, "That's our song and we're fired up to sing it."

    By most accounts, 40% of the LHB refused to play The Eyes of Texas during the 2020 football season.   Now that Coach Steve Sarkisian says the players will sing the song, does this mean 40% of members will now quit the band?
