TX Updates:
I'm no longer going to track daily cases for TX and Harris Co for a few reasons:
▪️TX Statewide & Harris Co are now reporting recent cases accurately and timely
▪️Cases are significantly less important now that C19 is widespread and moving from pandemic to endemic
@keaton_hare Do you have a transponder? There were a couple other planes flying around 1500-2500' trying to view the launch. I'm sure you're able to spot them pretty easily but it may be tough for them to keep an eye on you.
@honorablesaint Interestingly RC Sproul, one of the most prominent protestant commentators, observed the same disconnect. He agreed that Paul's teachings on head coverings shouldn't be ignored like most commentators do today. https://t.co/5Uk4JN1KML He admits his is the minority opinion though.
@SarksDaddy Hopefully Stoops has some sway in the admin and can help cooler heads prevail. I doubt he's on the fire BV now bus. This year is already an improvement on last year (we're competitive in every game and are just not getting it done). Have stability and build the program back up.
@CSI_Starbase This looks very clean, but accessibility is poor. It will be hard to work on things w/ such tight spacing. Cranes will be required for basic actuator replacements bc it's impossible to get forklifts near some of them. Also any rupture/fire will impact everything else in the area.
If Southwest Airlines had assembled a focus group and asked them "what's the stupidest thing that we could do to ruin our company," this is what they would have come up with.
@CSI_Starbase@Carsondreed7 It's not a given that the progress will continue w/o a setback along the way. They're at least ready to go for it though since the water landing was successful.
Crashing a booster that's basically empty of fuel, would cause less damage than a catastrophic failure at launch.
@bennjomen2004 Good thing they beat the highest rank team on this list this year...
Schedule is obviously tougher, but OU will be very competitive in the SEC. Probably won't win 45% of the conference championships like they did in the Big 12 but they are still going to win them.
@germanicaussie@anasalhajji Without fracking US energy production would fall off a cliff and we would be dealing with the same high prices that Europe is seeing for energy.
It would be even worse though bc the US would be importing huge amounts of energy further driving up the cost of energy globally.
@germanicaussie@anasalhajji Energy $ were climbing and the US was becoming more dependent on imports to meet demand. Import facilities for natural gas (LNG) were being built. Nat gas was $10+.
Then a few US producers figured out how to make fracking and horizontal drilling work and changed everything.
@ChonkWow@EthicalSkeptic So what's his theory, the shale is heating up and releasing toxic gas to the atmosphere naturally? Even though the formation is 4000'+ deep and has 1000's of active wells producing from it. Those wells would show the effects of that occurring before it just escapes to the air.
@mmorris011@HoustonChron I haven't even received any extreme weather warnings asking to set the thermostat up to 80 or whatever to conserve energy. I guess ERCOT knows the grid is going to be tested during the summer. It's the events that happen when plants are offline for maintenance that get them.
