bojan Posted March 14 Posted March 14 IDK how common is it in significant quantities in labs, analytical chemistry uses lot of various boranes for indications but we are talking about milligram amounts there.
Murph Posted March 14 Author Posted March 14 83 mph gusts in Amarillo. My buddy lives in Canyon just south of Amarillo and he said everything is brown with dust, and the wind is already doing terrible amounts of damage. He works for the power company up there. Needless to say, they are extremely busy right now.

Murph Posted March 15 Author Posted March 15 A buddy of mine in Canyon said that they had 83+ mph winds yesterday, and the entire atmosphere was brown with the dust.
Ivanhoe Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I saw something on Youtube about a massive pileup in Amarillo, but have not been able to confirm.
Murph Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 Yes, my buddy called me, it was bad one visibility was 20 feet in parts of the interstate.
Murph Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 I like Gundam, he is pretty decent. It is part of the push to get rid of Child Porn. I think that there will be tweaks before it gets signed. I will wait and see where it goes. Ah, section 43.21(a)(1)(B) under the Penal Code.

Murph Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 And yes, they did pass Pakistan day to honor Pakistani Americans, but the Texas leg is a joke right now since they Speaker has been declaring quorums, when there is no quorum.
Ivanhoe Posted April 2 Posted April 2 So if I'm understanding the news coverage, the new Speaker is not any better than the previous one (who was one of the weasels who went after Patrick). So not a surprise that the quorum roll call CFed.
