I work up a pretty good sweat shoveling even though it's only like 20F. Edit: I apologize for the bad snipe.

I lived in Texas for a year and I miss the restaurants. Texas had a lot of good food. In addition to HEB and Central Market. Great burgers at Rodeo Goat and Jake’s as example. Chimichangas at Los Molcajetes.

What's the worst that can follow from bathing in nasty Texas water? For me, not the water, I mean. That brain amoeba is pretty bad, but at least it's a quick death.

depending on the nature of the flooding and the configuration of local waste treatment, cholera and other various shiteating diseases can crop up brainmoeba's deffo worse tho. explosive gray diarrhea so bad you die is pretty bad but it's very treatable and nothing is in your brain e: if things get real bad, like Katrina bad, you can get all kinds of unpredictable stuff. shitwater is bad but corpsewater is next-level ee: in short, boil your water, and ideally filter it, before going swimmimg in it Cactus Ghost fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Feb 21, 2021 |

Flowers for QAnon posted:I knew someone who got trench foot from playing too much tennis That's disgusting, what the gently caress. Did they just never take their shoes off ever, because that's how you get trench foot. It's literally called immersion syndrome and it's caused by being wet/damp for too long, meaning like 12-24 hours to start setting in, and you can stop it in its tracks by taking your shoes off and drying your feet. There's no reason to get trench foot from playing tennis unless you're incredibly stupid and grimy. Haulin Oates fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Feb 23, 2021 |

yeah thats the real issue, ted cruz wasn't being totally tone deaf, the voters he cares about (those with lots of money to donate) would and most likely did do the same thing he just got caught in public

I got the very start of trench foot during a ski trip when I didn't let my extremely soaking wet sweaty boots dry before wearing them for another entire day of bc hiking and riding. My socks literally melded with the top of my foot and removing them was very unenjoyable. I have a bit of permanent damage to the top of both feet and have to put petroleum jelly on the area before putting my ski socks on now. The doctor definitely used the term 'trench foot' and I was like cool wwi injuries ftw I guess?

75 degrees outside today and the town I work in barely has water (some neighborhoods still don't) but the buildings at work have all kinds of busted pipes so we still have everyone out. Fortunately it only took us about 7 hours on saturday to convince the network it was a network and not a series of $1000 1U space heaters connected together through the ceiling. It was nice and warm in the server rooms though. We have UPSes but not 4 days worth. So a bad time to find out a contracted tech forgot to save configs to the startup memory thingies after a 100 AP install. So 7 hours to get to "working" but another 16 or so for "functioning mostly correctly so as to not get cursed out by 1000 people."

In the Wall Street Journal, of all places:quote:Texas’s deregulated electricity market, which was supposed to provide reliable power at a lower price, left millions in the dark last week. For two decades, its customers have paid more for electricity than state residents who are served by traditional utilities, a Wall Street Journal analysis has found. https://www.wsj.com/articles/texas-electric-bills-were-28-billion-higher-under-deregulation-11614162780 Congrats Texas on paying more for your lovely broken electrical service!
