I've hosted a few parties with too many people, usually spilling out on the back deck and into the yard(4th of July)

for football watchin parties a prefer 4-5. 
better focus on the game

dinner parties of 6 or less

back in 1989, was going to be a starter house until the kids got bigger.
just never moved
Eerily similar except for a couple of Buckeye Games had between 18-25 won both too 😎. No more as it took like a week or 2 to fumigate as more people smoked 20 yrs back. Plus spilled Beer and it wasn't me

BP: World demand for oil, gas to to tumble by 2050 (cnbc.com)

Energy giant BP predicts oil and gas will become a dramatically smaller part of the global energy mix by 2050, while zero-carbon alternatives like wind and solar energy will continue to increase their penetration, the company said in its 12th annual energy outlook report published Monday.

The share of fossil fuels as a primary energy source will fall from 80 percent in 2019 to between 55 and 20 percent by 2050, while renewables’ share will grow from 10 percent to between 35 percent and 65 percent over the same time period.

AI predicts the world may likely to hit a key warming threshold in 10-12 years : NPR

In a high-pollution scenario, the AI calculated, the world would hit the 2-degree mark around 2050. Lower pollution could stave that off until 2054, the machine learning calculated.

45 is OK with me

above 40 I don't bother with gloves or a hat

45 and wet can be cold

I'm sure after a decade or so living in the south (not Austin) I'd think 45 was too cold

Anything below about 62 is too cold.

Hovering right around freezing since Monday night and precip falling as rain/sleet/snow since about 2 AM.  Austin is iced under right now.  Major roads are still passable but overpasses and bridges are treacherous, and localized power outages due to fallen limbs also knock out traffic lights all over, so driving is a complete mess right now.

I have power but my parents don't, so I might be one of the lucky ones that has to venture out into this in another couple of hours.

Freezing? you guys always catch the breaks teens here single digits when old man winter sneezes, thanx Fearless. Bright and sunny need the shades when driving.I'd actually prefer this than the30/40 we were getting w/o the SUN - like a constant pall. With the Sun reflecting off of the snow catching up on some D vitamins

Pistons-Wizards game tonight postponed, because Pistons still can't get out.  I was supposed to go to Dallas, and then to Houston this week for work.  Hearing the travel nightmares, I'm glad they cut that travel group from 4 to 2

Well, I feel a little foolish.  I've seen you post Sewer City on these forums for years, just now realized you really meant Sioux City. 

Or at least that's what I assume now.  Unless I'm wrong.  

Carry on.

We Texans can do a lot of things but one thing we dont know how to do is drive on icy roads

When the roads freeze over with ice I just stay home cause theres a crazy Texan out there driving a car with my name on it

As noted, I could see lockdowns in some urban areas for a time if needed.  But statewide?  Nope.

Wrong thread, my bad.
