I'm from here, but I have to use those services for travel for business. Right now the common wisdom is that's all over - the reality is, not remotely. A lot of those essential businesses, even if we just go by that list, require domestic flights and things if the entire organization is going to operate. Obviously rental cars are an option too, it's not like there's no other way, but I was specifically curious about ridesharing not from the "why would people use it" perspective, but more from the "isn't that basically a tiny little disease vector at a network level" perspective, heh.

syntaxrigger posted:As a transplant to Texas from the swamps of Louisiana, I hope you are right. I am still trying to figure out lots of things about how Texas works. In a lot of ways Texas is a two party state, except they are both Republican so the two parties are the pro-business Republicans (e.g. former speaker Strauss) vs the tea party/MAGA Republicans (e.g. Dan Patrick).

There are also a lot of small towns that are just trying to run a government and are sick of the tea party dickheads showing up to protest every time they want to put up a streetlight or fill a pothole. There's a non-zero amount of fed-upedness with the tea party drama queens among real small town Texans, I guess is another way of saying it. Even if they are otherwise culturally identical in political beliefs.

https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1242582356499857409 We have 826 in a population of 29.7m so 28 per m? 11k tests given. The major metros are so spread out it might be more instructive to look at it region-by-region. zoux fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Mar 25, 2020 |

Do a cross-check of how many were on Spring Break together either at Padre or at the ski resorts. Probably a correlation.

Look I know this is from a few pages back, but how do some white American men look aggressively and instantenously recognizably American? These are types of mugs I've never seen in Europe, especially that dork on the right. These guys both look like what really dumb people imagine well-informed intellectuals must look like (I don't know either of them, just vaguely recognize the one of the left as having said a couple of lovely racist things).

Without googling, is Collin County where Plano is? That just sounds like a very Plano-area thing to do. I should know this anyway, but everything north of I-10 is another country as far as my ancentral clan is concerned. We aren't sure what language y'all speak, whether you can eat jalapenos in your food or what the Hell. Obvs, still Texas and therefore okay, because anything outside of Texas is a whole nother other country, but gotta keep three rivers between y'all and us, or at least an interstate.

It could be, but I've seen dumber poo poo posted in the business subforum's landlord thread  Also the non-SA landlord forums (at least back in the day, idk about now once the internet at large realized they exist) used to have some cartoon villian level poo poo in them.

Dan is a really cool dude and writes some nice articles. (Huge MTG junkie and nerd) I like how the entire article is just spoken by people at HEB doing the work and planning. Good lord they're crazy competent in getting ahead of this. Not gonna lie when they said they were running tabletop simulations I just immediately thought they were running Pandemic over and over.

My folks live down in the Golden Triangle area and don't have a local HEB and their local Krogers has just been a poo poo show. Limits on every kind of product. She started going to this mom-and-pop place that's fully stocked. You hear a lot about big disparities between individual grocery stores even a couple of miles apart, and I wonder what is keeping people from trying to find better options rather than just get in the back of a line around the store at the place they usually go. zoux fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Mar 26, 2020 |
