  1. My high school is doing a raffle to benefit scholarships. Two of the prizes are hunting related. Thought I would share. If this is not allowed please delete and ban me to purgatory. About 200 tickets left. 6940a1a4054e230f4195ba1c1e4f92b2.jpg

  2. I swear, Dr. Troy Kimmel told us the Fujita scale does go up to F-10.  We've just never recorded a tornado in modern times above an F-5.  Winds of F-6 scale are observed on our planet, just never in a tornado setting.  
    Then again, I barely passed that class.  I

    Highest wind speed ever recorded/estimated using Doppler on Earth was between 300 and 320 mph. F5 goes up to 318 mph. The EF5 is anything over 200 mph. Neither the F scale or enhanced F scale go to 10. TORRO goes to 11 but only when shit gets real.

    Up charging for an inferior product because you spend a lot of money is not a good justification. This sounds like a governmental agency defending its budget.

    Nobody is up charging for anything. And you assume it’s an inferior product because a shitty student complained to Karen. The school went above and beyond to provide the best possible educational experience which is exactly what is promised when a student is accepted for attendance. 
     

    If we want to have a separate discussion about waste I’ll gladly join the “these fuckers waste a lot of money” side of that argument. But that’s not what the plaintiff is claiming. 

  4. We spent a lot of money to upgrade classrooms to do hybrid learning. When classes started the students chose online instead of in person. We kept track of the numbers to show this. We canceled the hybrid and went pure online in most cases because of this. On top of the expenses to upgrade classrooms we spent a lot on technology upgrades for faculty. Upgraded webcams, laptops, iPads, doc cams, recording studio time, fucking holographic technology for the MBA program, the list goes on and on. Many of the faculty are teaching twice for each hybrid course so we had to reduce the number of students per course and hire more faculty. On top of that the faculty needed more support to answer emails and grade more online assignments. So we hired more undergraduate students to help out. This lawsuit is going to die a quick painful death.

  5. Is it worth it to file a claim for the food that got ruined in the fridge? Or just let it be. Didn’t want rates to go up just for food.

    I always thought that was similar to a chip in the windshield. Part of the coverage and doesn’t really affect your rates.
  6. If you're into conspiracy theories, lot of people are claiming the numbers are being deliberately fudged to cover up how bad it is.  
    Occam's Razor for me - good old fashioned incompetence and/or left hand not talking to the right hand.
    It's pointless though - they can't hide it from the people who are actually without power or water or both.

    It’s as simple as some reports use “customers” and some use “people” and everyone thinks it’s the same.

  7. Fuck you bitch yes I’m fucking serious. This is an incredibly stressful situation and I’m weighing keeping my family here for the night sitting in a room that seems like it’s getting more and more smoke in it or losing them up and trying to get to friends which is also very dangerous as we’re in a hilly neighborhood. In normal times if I feel like smoke is coming back in the house we’d just open windows turn on fans not camp in front of the fire etc. none of this are options now. Fuck you and your lame ass tired unhelpful response.

    Serious response to serious post. Turn the gas starter off once the wood has started burning on its own. It is not designed to burn constantly and you’re wasting money/gas/logs.

  8. My mom is 90 and lives alone in Houston.  She's been pretty much locked away since this thing started.  She is completely technologically illiterate.  To date I have been unable to get her an appointment.

    Follow memorial hermann on Facebook. They have 65+ (age) spots that open up every couple of days. My mom got in and got her Pfizer first dose today. Last week it was Monday, Thursday, and today that spots opened up. You should use your email in the form. They send an immediate follow up email with an appointment link. They book the second spot at the same time.
  9. Anyone have an Austin place link for 1B people that has vaccines now?  Trying to help someone out 

    If you are registered with APH try logging back in and choosing dove springs. They weren’t at capacity today. I’m not sure why/how, but I know a couple of people who got spots today at dove springs and just registered yesterday.
