  1. Why are people stockpiling water? Is there worry that things get so bad that the water supply becomes compromised?
  2. If they are using RT PCR for this test and have primer sequences designed, it should be pretty straight forward to sub in these primers in to an already in use RT PCR kit. The only caveat is that nothing is ever that easy in terms of regulated medical testing. The largest provider for DNA oligos that I know of (IDT) has a dedicated ordering page for Coronavirus projects that is expediting all orders for anything coronavirus related, but they are usually able synthesize and ship primers overnight anyway unless they need any special modifications or purification.
  3. I'm leaving for a month of travel around Europe for work in a couple of weeks. Where do I get one of those airline seat tents?
  4. Just forwarded this to John Cornyn
  5. I didn't know this was an option for a lot of companies, so I'm a little jealous. When my company got acquired the worst thing that happened was being forced to use a company credit card instead of my personal card. Still get all the airline and hotel points etc., but I really miss the credit card miles.
  6. I'm a no recliner, but sometimes you have to accept that you're not going to be comfortable on a flight. International I usually go for bulkhead seats (preferably a two seater row on the left or right if available) which brings up another issue. What's the consensus on propping feet up on the bulkhead? I'm talking shoes on or socks at a minimum. I've heard that his is also bad manners.
  7. These days we call that being "presidential".
  8. This video has been posted before, but it's pretty much a tour of Austin's heyday for me. Amazing how few cars were on the road too.
  9. Got a Samsung 55" 4k at Bestbuy for $350, so far I like it. The TCL was cheaper and maybe better, but I've been trying not to but anything from China if I can help it.
  10. I've never been big into politics other than doing a little research before voting, and have voted around 70/30 Democratic to Republican in the past. Between the end of last year and today I've probably donated to 6 or 7 Dem candidates already. Waiting to see who the Surly Lib PAC decides to support too.

  12. Honest question. Is it widely known that this is now a racist symbol and no longer just a dumb game to play? Maybe I'm just out of the loop
  13. You didn't typo, they just don't know what != means
  14. Good recommendation, thanks. I think Man on Fire is top of my list for revenge movies.
  15. A little north, but Uptown Auto on Anderson is quite possibly the most honest and affordable mechanic in America https://www.yelp.com/biz/uptown-auto-repair-austin I've only used him twice, but I've been sending people to him for over 20 years.

  18. Gracias The Sports 24 is working well for me as of now
  19. If you haven't heard of Dan Reeder you should check him out
  20. The Boggleheads should talk up all the extra jerk off time that index fund investing provides.
  21. No experience with SWA passes, but I have bought tickets for people who weren't TSA Pre a few times and only once did they not get TSA Pre on their boarding pass too. Not sure what the criteria for the decision is.
