  1. The Woo was disgusting in the early 80’s, and I’m sure before, and yet billionaire’s sons lived there. It’s just what freshman men going through rush did back then. Some had condos at Orange Tree or other places in West Campus but that was usually for their sophomore through senior years.
  2. And another Lennon song, Norwegian Wood.
  3. It’s hyperbole. See also Hendrix’s Hey Joe and Young’s Down By The River. I’m sure there are many more.
  4. Papi is awesome. His post-game commentary was perfect.
  5. I recently found a new Titleist Tour Speed ball—never heard of it before, and played it for a round. Nice ball. Seems to go a little farther than the ProV1s. I could not tell any difference in feel in the short game.
  6. Probably already stated but it was a shit hole in the early 80’s.
  7. SETex numbers continue to improve. The last four days of new hospital admits has been 128, 104, 105, and 114. Confirmed+suspected Covid patients make up 10% of general bed usage and 22.7% of ICU beds. In the 27 county region there are about 8,500 general beds available (not counting the additional surge capacity) and about 100 ICU beds available (not counting the surge capacity). Note that ICU beds are almost always near full capacity.
  8. People that get off an escalator and just stop without giving those behind them anywhere to go. They get pushed away and act like I’ve assaulted them.
  9. I had not heard that the booster can be a different shot than the initial shot(s).
  10. Y’all need to read today’s The Morning op-ed in the NYTimes. https://nl.nytimes.com/f/a/pT2bo6XAPjGWyDihe4AYNg~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjQqBwP0S_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vYnkvZGF2aWQtbGVvbmhhcmR0P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMTEwMDgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NDIzMjcmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD0xMTM5MTk4OTEmc2VnbWVudF9pZD03MDk4NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWI3NjAzOTc4ZDBjYTRjMTJhZDI0MWZmNjM4NDYxZjFXA255dEIKYV9wG2BhP70smFIUZGF2aWR6ZHVua0BnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~
  11. So it’s not called Indian Princesses anymore? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. We had great Indian Princess groups with both of my daughters. Fun times.
  12. Your question was rhetorical, but absolutely. It should be an axiom. Someone beating you with bare hands/kicking etc. can inflict severe bodily harm and death. You shouldn’t have to wait until you are near death or nearly unconscious before you can use deadly force in self defense. If that’s not the law it ought to be.
  13. Was about to post this. And, according to the most recent stats, percentage wise, the church is growing faster than the world population.
  14. This shit makes me crazy. Who are these dumb shit elected officials?
  15. I do not need a booster.
  16. Somewhat similarly, the Pope and the Roman bureaucracy do not control the operations of the various diocese throughout the world. They dictate canon law and matters of religious doctrine, but the operations of each diocese is governed by the bishop of that diocese.
  17. Same here. And I could have waited even longer. There was only one pecan tree about 60 feet away from my pool so it stayed very clean most of the year.
  18. I took the Pfizer shots (six months ago). I had my annual physical today and asked my doc about whether I should get a booster. I'm 59, in good health, not fat, and with no other risk factors. He said to wait on a booster.
  19. The shithead kid’s parents may not have much exposure. Per Texas statute, they are liable for up to $25k in property damage per occurrence plus attorneys’ fees and costs. The bikers can get new bikes. A personal injury claim again the parents for the shithead’s tort is trickier and will depend on the facts. If he wasn’t working for his parents at the time (their agent—and even then they can make some arguments), or if the parents were unaware that their brat had a propensity for such behaviour then they have a pretty good defense. They’ll still get sued and it will settle.
  20. Disunited Nations by Zeihan covers this issue with China and other nations as well. It's an interesting view of what might happen in the world in the not too distant future.
  21. Some engines are loud without rolling coal. That’s what I was getting at. The loud issue also applies to those morons with that loud bass shit coming from what apparently is considered music.
  22. Yep. ICU beds are pretty much at full, or near full, capacity irrespective of Covid spikes. The graphs at Setrac.org show this very well.
  23. I had to google “rolling coal”. I never knew it was intentional. There should be a stiff fine for that. Loud engines too.
  24. But there are plenty with room. And the numbers in SETex peaked some time ago and are coming down. SE Texas as a region has never had to eat into the Covid excess ICU capacity levels. And as for general beds in the SE Texas region (approximately 9.5 million people) over 7,600 beds are available of a total of 19,990 general beds. Covid patients make up less than 16% of the occupied general beds.
