Looks like a wobble around memorial day weekend reporting of new cases? A series of down days bottoming out on memorial day, followed by a series of up days. Fatalities will be a better data point once they mature a bit. And by close of the week, probably the last data points that can really contribute to discussion of the impact of reopening. The massive protests in every major urban area over the last 6 days are going to start hitting the books soon, if they are not already impacting.
Fair point about a Memorial weekend slump. Clearly, the more important of the two charts is the fatalities, and it's hard to say if it'll rise significantly or not. Like you said, we should know in the next week or so.

you guys talk a bunch of fancy math talk 😋😁
i just want to know...is Texas fucked with the re-opening yet? or is it...kind of ok, we're weathering fairly well?
i'm not really venturing outside our neighborhood, as i've been following the Austin zip code heat map, and 78757 hasn't had any significant increase in numbers in over a month.
Unfortunately, the Texas case count has increased significantly over the last week or so. No huge spike in deaths yet, although they're beginning to rise too.

Bored today so I started watching Hangar One:the ufo files. Holy shit the things on here. I’m just into episode 2 and already have heard:
1)jfk was killed 10 days after issuing some ufo disclosure orders in order to prevent disclosure.
2) while drilling into the earth to build a “deep underground military base,DUMB” they accidentally dug into a fortified structure and upon entering got into a firefight with a bunch of large gray aliens that were there. This is in 1995 I think.3) in a military expedition in Antarctica during ww2 a ufo fought with the nazi Germans and almost destroyed the us navy ships and only backed down when the navy retreated.
How could I not keep watching?

23 hours ago, trza-hawk said:I have to second the recommendation of Hangar 1, total absurd nonsense, like they took all the wackos who weren't good enough for Ancient Aliens and gave them a show. Terrible tease editing mitigated by the streaming format. So much footage of guys in suits and sunglasses just folding their arms, the same hangar (or more than one hangar) that obviously isn't the group's headquarters shown over and over again. Single witness encounters presented as facts and proof of government conspiracy.
If y'all are into cheesy alien shit, I'm going to have to recommend Hangar 18. It's a pretty terrible movie from 1980 filmed at the then recently closed air force base in my West Texas hometown when I was about 9 yo. From what I recall Gary Collins had a fling with a local MILF during its filming which was quite the scandal back in the day.
The movie is so bad, you can watch the whole thing for free on YouTube:

Watched a few episodes last night and am disappoint. I haven't laughed once but did crack my first smile during the chimpstronaut one
-
Watched The Lighthouse over the weekend. It's some dark shit that completely blew me away.
Here's the trailer to check and see if you're interested:

@bolverk periodically when I accidentally stumble into the cloakroom, I find it necessary to defend free speech, no matter how detestable the content. Call my "like" one miniscule cheer for the 1st amendment.
The last 2 books I read were Michelle Obama's "Becoming" and Dan Crenshaw's "Fortitude" - both of which I enjoyed immensely. Especially the part where Dan recounts Barack Obama telling his daughters to go through life not actively looking for opportunities to be offended.
I haven't listed to Rush Limbaugh in over 30 years, honestly I didn't realize he was still on the air.
I get and respect that as a supporter of the First Amendment as well since it's, in my opinion, the most sacred and fundamental right we have. That said, free speech also has consequences. If others feel like he deserved it, that's no skin off my back.
My personal policy on negging is to reserve it for intents to deceive or outright lies. Otherwise, I'll only challenge opinions and points of view that I disagree with.
Yeah, I'll prop up someone who is being unfairly treated, but this guy came in to defend an unrepentant racist liar and who implicitly is denying shit happened by calling it a "narrative" as if it were some alternative reality. Please, make sure you see the overall context before supporting an asshole who just happens to generally be on your team or team adjacent.
You're an actual, real human being to me, so it kind of caught me off guard. Sorry for calling you out. Thanks and much love.

I see the snowflakes are out today. Always said this on the Shag, you neg in the CR you are a complete pussy. This is how I know if the civil war ever gets hot, it will be a short one.
You’re implying a threat of violence to defend these statements:
‘Barack the Magic Negro’
"The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."
"I think it's time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call 'em gangs."
"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."
Responding to a caller who said black people should have a greater voice on issues: "They are 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"
[To an African American female caller]: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”
Think about that for a minute and what it says about you. And @BearSchlong it’s pretty fucked up that you feel the need to prop up this asshole.

"When they go low, we go high"
Yeah. Insulting a black caller by assuming he has a bone in his nose and generally spreading hate against nonwhites ain't really my jam. In fact, it kinda pisses me off. But it's no surprise you feel the need to defend the cocksucker.

Being low to the ground is definitely an advantage when it comes to undercutting, but not sure if the wheels hurt him in the leverage department.
Definitely an advantage, especially if pulled by horses. Really, the only defense is to lower shields and form a phalanx.

On the dangers of secondhand smoking, and smoking in general: "That is a myth. That has been disproven at the World Health Organization and the report was suppressed. There is no fatality whatsoever. There's no even major sickness component associated with secondhand smoke. It may irritate you, and you may not like it, but it will not make you sick, and it will not kill you...Firsthand smoke takes 50 years to kill people, if it does. Not everybody that smokes gets cancer. Now, it's true that everybody who smokes dies, but so does everyone who eats carrots ... I would like a medal for smoking cigars, is what I'm saying."
I'm pretty sure you can draw a direct link between this unscientific thinking on smoking to climate change denial and now Covid skepticism. It's like he picked up the mantle of his anti-evolution predecessors and ran with it to his famed golden toilet..
Now, I will confess that I used to smoke back during Rush's 1990s heyday, because I was dumb and felt indestructible. I even picked it back up again after getting a divorce, because I was dumb and felt self-destructive. But, never for a moment, did I ever vocally express doubt that it was bad for me or think it wouldn't cause lung cancer or any other associated respiratory/cardiovascular ailments. That's just crazy talk.
How many countless others though has he influenced to deny smoking is bad, pollution is killing the environment, or Covid is a hoax? It's got to be in the hundreds of thousands if not millions. And as any other white male Gen Xer Texan, I also ask myself how many of my formerly thoughtful, intelligent, and apolitical high school friends did he lead down the brain-dead ditto path to Fox News programming and today's Trumpism? Probably a lot.
This motherfucker was (is) one of the biggest turds in the punch bowl who poisoned political discourse, social responsibility, and civic awareness in America during our lifetimes. So, yeah, I'm definitely not going to shed a tear when god decides to finally "Flush Rush."

She actually has a quite gifted poisonous tongue. Sure, that doesn't necessarily prevent her from being ornery but she's got the gift of gab.

Had to share a locker with a guy in the 6th grade who, after high school, ended up on death row for murdering his girlfriend and attempting to murder one of her friends who was pregnant at the time. It involved the slitting of throats, but it looks like his conviction may have been reduced and he is still alive.
Being from a small town, I also kind of knew both victims but not very well.
ETA1: I want to say he had an emergency driver's certificate and started driving to school around the 7th grade.
ETA2: My dad's dad was also murdered while fishing during the Great Depression a couple of months before my dad was born, but I don't know who did it for sure in spite of my suspicions. I think both my dad and I may have been named after the murderer.

Texas.....between Norway and Finland. You know what IS between Norway and Finland? Pretty much jack shit (we looked at going to the point where Norway, Finland, and Sweden meet last summer.....then we realized it's in asscrack-nowhere, with nothing else around).
I mean, pretty views in the distance, but those are actually mediocre views compared with much of the rest of Norway.
That's the Scandinavian equivalent of Terlingua minus the beer swilling goat.

Man, that DT thread is depressing.
I've taken a little bit of a breather from Surly this past week and only now getting caught up here. Just clicked over there for the first time since Monday and read a page of that afternoon's posts.
Dear lord, the intentional ignorance displayed with such arrogance is maddening. I'd like to catch up and read the 14 or so pages that follow, but I'm not sure I could handle it.

I missed "over the last week" portion due to the line break. Thanks!
Regardless, it'd be best compare Sweden to its socioeconomic and culture Notdic peers.
Per Worldometers as of today (deaths per million):
Sweden 384
Denmark 97
Finland 55
Norway 43
By comparison, Texas is 49. If we had the same death rate, Texas would have over 11,000 mortalities right now

He's a genius when it comes to bidness.
My best guess is that he doesn't know the difference between revenue and profit, which kind of kind of goes along with his apparent misunderstanding of infections versus deaths. In other words, while accounting tricks might make the former look better, they don't necessarily improve the latter..

Black delivery driver blocked into Oklahoma neighborhood by HOA president
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A viral video shows a delivery driver being held against his will in an Oklahoma City area neighborhood Monday, blocked in by a man who identified himself as the homeowners association president.

I'll just add that his use of language in calling these potentially underage hookers his "girlfriends" that he performs "boom boom" with added an extra creepy vibe.

For the dumbasses here, what is ballot harvesting?
Per Wikipedia:
Ballot harvesting, also called vote harvesting, is the collecting and submitting of absentee or mail-in voter ballots by volunteers or workers. It occurs in some areas of the U.S. where voting by mail is common, but is illegal in some other states. The practice has been credited with changing the outcomes of certain recent elections.
Edit: Also from Wiki, the practice is not illegal in California. So, while Nunes remains a fetid puddle of liquid feces, he's actually not advocating breaking California law in the election.

preference on Daily Texan moderation
in Please do this better?

You just made a pretty blatant CR post in the protest thread. What irks me is hypocrisy of complaining about Cloak Roomers when posters just go about dropping political shit while pretending they're not.
If you, all of you, really want to keep politics out of the Daily Texan, stop making political posts - no matter how sly you think you're being.
