  1. Similar experience as Brad, we hit our two week shot #2 mark on Saturday and went to alamo south lamar and then tried to go to Loro afterwards. Holy shit was that place packed. We skipped it and went elsewhere because we didn't want to wait. But driving past every restaurant on lamar was full. And then we realized we're married with kids. It's been relatively easy to hunker down at home. But if I was a single 30 something during a pandemic, that isolation would've ended real quick. Your group of friends that you're comfortable with would expand until you finally caught it I'm guessing.
  2. Wilco sent me an email the other day to see if I still needed to be on the wait-list.
  3. Up up down down left right left right b a start. If you are signing up your spouse too, you'll have to hit select before you hit start.
  4. If you post here, your moral compass is loose enough to sign yourself up as 1A/1B.
  5. Yeah, the mask mandate should've just expired quietly and been set far enough in the future after everyone who wants a vaccine can get one. It's going to take a while to unwind everyone's behaviors.
  6. Is it really that bad of an illness if we get to the point where no one locally is going to a hospital or dying?
  7. Same. I've felt a little "off" but still able to do everything I had on my to do list. Have friends who also got round 2 yesterday in wilco and it did knock them out. Curious how this feeling translates to how I would've handled covid.
  8. Petition to rename "half penny stock thread" Brutal today
  9. I'd wager the "No maximum time between shots 1 and 2" is more to calm the people who were at the four week mark last week and could not get theirs due to the weather. I don't think it's because APH is trying to get as many 1st shots in arms. I'm basing that on the fact that APH's vaccine dashboard has not shown that they've administered as many first doses (37K) as they've received through Feb 6th (48k).
  10. I wouldn't call it a hobby of mine, but I'll take big limbs from around the neighborhood during the city's large brush pickup and bringing it home for future firewood. This habit of grabbing some good logs over the past year served me well this past week. There is a ton of downed branches out there right now if you feel like prepping for next fall.
  11. Heard from friends at 2222 and Mt bonnell near st Theresa's that they're back online
  12. They might ask your friend if they are 1A/1B when they arrive, but they can't ask your friend to show proof
  13. Appreciate that. I ended up phoning a friend. As it turns out he's already made two other trips to pick up parents. We're going to let the ice melt a bit before attempting.
  14. Is there a 4wd Uber option? Or could someone show up in a Toyota Tercel?
  15. How difficult is it to drive in Austin in a non 4wd vehicle? Need to go get my parents. They told us their power came back on, but didn't tell us it went off again an hour later.
  16. APH has been getting about 12k first doses per week for the past couple of weeks. They're posting how many of those first doses go into arms. The first week, they fell 4k short of the 12k. Second week, 1k+ short. Or there'll be a huge data dump in a few weeks with some curious stats. APH needs to turn over some of their allocation to HEB and other local pharmacies if they can't hit the 12k mark. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/3dc1bcbae3ac419d82b127aa2cdc2a51
  17. Sounds like a Peaker Plant is the deus ex machina in a shitty disaster movie. "Hey guys, what if we dust off that old coal plant to get some extra power?" "Nelson, you crazy sonafabitch.... It just might work"
  18. Had to move one spigot to Team Drip after I saw it with a huge chunk of ice below it. I guess when I was wrapping it, I turned the handle on just a bit.
