The Royal We

Has anyone ever run an underwater light off of their dock/pier? I'm looking at the ones that sit on the bottom and have a timer - the ones that look sturdy are expensive af. The cheaper ones look flimsy and like they won't last for very long if they are left on the bottom 24/7. This if for fresh water, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Glow-Green-Underwater-Fishing/dp/B00GWTRFDI/ref=sr_1_26?dchild=1&keywords=green+underwater+fishing+light+bottom&qid=1597676775&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-26

We started back on Wednesday and took the option of remote learning for the first three weeks to see how things went. My 5th grader was one of 4 in his class that started remotely, but his teacher was not in school this morning and they sent his whole class home at lunch today. There hasn't been any communication about what happened yet, but they've been really good on communication so far and I bet we'll find out what is going on this evening. Maybe she had a family emergency and couldn't come in this morning or something, but sending the kids home mid-day too seems a little odd.

Good info, I guess I'll put my tin foil hat away and take the good news.

I just wonder if they are actually doing fewer tests or if they are fudging the numbers - the Covid Tracking Project said in their update yesterday that they are getting lower testing numbers from the "local reporting and data from counties." It seems like it would be a very difficult thing to suppress on a county to county basis - I can't see Harris county lowering their testing data because Dotard wants them to...

Sorry if I missed the discussion on this somewhere else, but what is going on with the decreasing number of tests completed? I know the reporting structure was changed/yanked away from the CDC, but if they were trying to make things look rosier than they are, 20%+ positivity rate ain't it. wtf?

We had a Meet the Teacher event at my kid's school yesterday. It's a charter school and they have really spent a lot of time and effort to be very thoughtful and thorough on their processes and procedures in an impossible situation. All of the correspondence sent out to parents about the event said in bold letters - MASKS MANDATORY FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS, it said it on the outside door to the building, it said it at the entrance to the main office where they were doing temperature checks before anyone could come in, etc. We go through with no problems, masks on all 3 of my kids and I turn around and see this f'n asshole about to walk up to the office with no mask. His wife and kids all have them on, but this tough guy has no mask and no one says a word to him. It's hard for me to describe the rage this caused me to feel rise up when I saw him. How big of a selfish douchcanoe do you have to be to take that situation to make a statement!? I felt terrible for all of the administrators and teachers that watched in silence as this guy strolls in - he may as well have flipped up the double bird to everyone that had worked so hard to try to make a very difficult situation possible. I really try my hardest not to wish ill on people, but I can't say I could contain myself yesterday. This is why we can't have nice things. I'm sure this same guy is one of the ones moaning the loudest as the college football season goes down the tubes.

Great point. I can remember my dad bitching about this when I was a kid.

Exactly. LAW AND ORDER (only for those who don't support my views)

Obama didn't take away the guns, but Biden is going to do it this time, honest! You're gullible af if you fall for that bs.

Put me in the camp that thinks the combo of schools restarting and Labor Day gatherings is going to make for another dumpster fire in late September/Early October. We just can't help ourselves from continually touching the stove to see if it's still hot.

Slorch evidently needs those charts to be shown on a webpage that does not have the word "Covid" anywhere on it in order for him to process and accept it. The fact that the raw data is on a page that even mentions Covid makes it invalid. Seems reasonable. 🤦‍♂️

You said it man

Yes, totally doable and worth it. If you have any online friends to play with it’s so choice. Every once in a while you’ll get into a nasty scrape with some trolly clan, but they are rare because of the size of the map and there are a number of different ways to get away from it. Go for it.

Dumb question - so you run the Golf Clash Notebook on a different device than what you are playing on and refer to the wind adjustments in real time? I'm getting to the point where I get my ass kicked in shootouts because I'm trying to adjust for the wind by feel - seems like I'd be real short on time trying to input the wind into the Wind Assist on the notebook app during a match.

Why didn't they just pump him full of HCQ? There's a cure for this thing!

Same thing for me on the Q. Florida will find a way to Florida, but a man can hope.

That's insane. I got a Backbone and have it up to lvl 3, so my only glaring hole right now is Driver. Until I get The Extra Mile, I think I'm going to have a really hard time winning 1 v 1 on Tour 4. I got lucky this morning and matched up with someone on a tour 4 match who still had the beginner wood on a long par 5 and won that one on a chip in. I've upgraded my big dawg to lvl 3 and it's pretty essential on the long holes for me because the Rocket is clownshoes.

It's a huge issue that I don't know how to tackle without seriously compromising civil liberties, but it's a big component of tearing the country apart. For retired people there are very few negative consequences to posting and boosting hateful BS. I'm not on FB but have had a couple of friends tell me that some of the crap my Pops posts on FB is moonbat crazy stuff. But when his whole social circle and family are ensconced in the same echo chamber there are no social consequences.

This is where pretty much my entire family resides at the moment. I'd really like to think they aren't bad people, but it's really hard on my heart that they cannot pull their heads up and see the BS going on for what it really is. My pops was a history major FFS and he is blind because of Facebook and FoxNews. No amount of well-sourced facts and/or data can break through. I see no way that they would be upset/admit the election was stolen as long as the orange hate goblin wins.

So I've maxed out Tour 1 already and have a few wins in Tour 3. I got The Horizon in a random chest and The Big Dawg and prefer Horizon so far because of the much better Ball Guide, but I assume the distance will become more important as I get a better feel for how the ball is going to roll out. I still don't have any options for a long iron and really am hoping I get one in a chest soon. I need to do a little research on shaping the ball and plan on watching a few youtube videos today on that. FML

I’ll join as soon as I get promoted. This game is crack.

Bad ass, thanks for the info. I don’t know what some of that means but will figure it out.

I don't have FB, so won't be able to do that. Thanks for the info. I've been on Clash forever and am starting to get bored with it - and yes, the coin issue is a beating on there.

Just signed up today. I have a few buddies that have been playing for years so I finally broke down. Is it worth it to upgrade early clubs or should I hang on to the coins? I've got enough cards to upgrade The Dart, but didn't know if that was good value or not this early on.

I had a friend out in Bellville, TX get tested and it took 12 days to get his results back - finally got it on Tuesday this week. He was negative, but that's pretty damn worthless at that point.
