  1. Yes, we are trying to open up safely. We had to close down until we could but we are slowly opening up safely (admittedly relatively considering this is a novel virus). We will close down if we need to. Can Texas or Florida say the same?
  2. No, we are no where near herd immunity here. What’s your basis for column b?
  3. That NY is doing it correctly now And everyone else could be shutting down but instead chooses for grandma to die, for better or for worse. NYC was caught with our pants down for a variety of reasons, but there are still plenty of people for the virus to kill here, isn’t ny state at like 20% for herd immunity?
  4. I don't think you will see the same thing in NY. Least not in the summer and still too early to tell what the fall will bring in each area. Aside from the street drinking, the majority of people here wear masks almost all the time. Now, the street drinking might override that all even though it is mostly the youngs doing it, but I'm willing to bet/hope that it doesn't.
  5. That is “Doctor Fauci” to you, the wannabe dictator piece of shit traitor.
  6. Ah ok, that explains a lot (having been born in the 80s) of why i thought it was a texas thing. Thank you.
  7. yeah, i grew up thinking it was a texas thing. kind of irked me when all the yankees were trying to celebrate it here in the last couple years. but whatever. its for the greater good now.
  8. I like marlo's quote from his first scene better, "Do it or don't. I've got places to be."
  9. so that shit was real and not bait? holy shit, what a time to be alive
  10. Congrats, keep it up. Doing the work is tough but damn, it feels good fitting into the clothes you want to fit into. I'm about to hit my target weight, and while I don't have the flat abs/8pack/"Seriously, It's like you're photoshopped?!" I thought I'd have at this weight, I'm happy with the work I put in. Now I'm going to work on slowly NOT cutting calories and trying to maintain the level i'm at. Using those apps to track what i eat and over the next couple weeks going to increase it from lose 2 lbs to maintain over the next 2-3 weeks. I feel like a smoker who says "i'm great at quitting, i've done it a thousand times!" I can lose the weight and have a number of times (although not to the level I'm at now) but never really been good at maintaining. My goal now is to maintain this level of eating (not dieting) and exercise through the rest of summer as practice for football season when Saturdays wreck my shit. Then correct what ever needs correcting next Feb, as soon as Super Bowl Sunday is over.
  11. This thread moved fast while I was busy and caught up on others before this one, so responding to this b/c it was the last thing i read on here way back... Monday. Jesus, Covid fucks with time. Anyway, the chick who threw it at an occupied car is definitely guilty of attempted murder but thats not the chick. My buddy's ex is Urooj. Supposedly the last girl he seriously dated before going on a Tinder tear these last few years. Pretty sure it was his college sweet heart. It'll be a minute before I go through pages 55-94, so not gonna be able to respond immediately if there is other stuff after.
  12. No, but i can understand people in the last 48 hours thinking he was a racist and acting accordingly. Honestly I don’t agree with them but I haven’t read Zinn in decades so my memory is fuzzy.
  13. Aren’t there like a shit ton of quotes showing Lincoln as a racist but only doing emancipation as a hindrance to the south? Or is that too much People’s History and incorrect?
  14. Fuck them. I know people who dated her. Fuck the police. All bad cops need to be tried, judged, and sentenced as traitors to the constitution.
  15. Bad cops need to die. Good cops need to do their job edit: I support good cops any day of the week
  16. cross posting from the DT thread, took the antibody and CoVid tests on 5/24 in the morning, got the results yesterday. Negative on both. Sucks. They took a whole vial and the gf's father's test from a few weeks ago was also a vial and not just a finger prick.
  17. 1) probably the same thing. Almost all nyc parks are off leash before 9am and only w/in an hour of sunset (wish austin would do this) but even in Central and Prospect parks there are clearly marked off areas that say dogs are never allowed off leash in there. People aren't even all that welcome in those same parts where there is thick brush, etc cause the birds nest there or whatnot. The parks are definitely big enough that dog owners should leave those areas alone or leash up while they traverse said areas on the way to other parts of the park. I'm an asshole and love my pup but no reason to put out bad karma in the world whenever I happen to be in those clearly delineated sections.
  18. Agreed, the guy sucks, and hopefully removed soon. What’s next?
  19. That I don't know, will find out. (in regards to full draw or finger prick) edit: could be a false positive on the CoVid but the antibody test said he had short term antibodies but i guess that also could have been lingering from April. As for allergies...eh, don't think so but I'll check. Catching up on rest of thread now.
  20. They wouldn't give him a test back then. But he had fever, loss of smell and taste, cough, and diarrhea (and I think I'm missing some of the other symptoms he had) from 3/30 to 4/12. As for now, he says he feels fine outside of once again losing the sense of smell. So there is the outside chance he never had it back in early April but.... despite not staying at holiday inn last night, i doubt it. Sure, the CoVid test now could be wrong but the reason he finally was able to take it was because the abx test he took last week told him he had long term and short term abx (in my mind proving he had it back in early april but i'm willing to hear theories). So either the CoVID test from this last week might be wrong, or he is contagious again. Since we know fuck all about this disease, I'm not sure which is a more reasonable conclusion. I sure as hell hope he isn't contagious but we have two current tests pointing in that direction.
  21. anecdotal, but the CoVid test results came back for the gf's father; positive and told to quarantine since he is contagious once again after being sick from 3/30 to 4/12. This is one bitch disease.
  22. You do the 20 pushup/flutter ladder everyday? I can barely do 14 ladder and aside from being hard, not sure my shoulders will every be able handle 210 pushups a day. As it is, i do it regular style twice a week, and "girlie" style 3 days a week with a max out day on Saturdays. I mean, props to you, I'm just skittish about ripping some muscle/tendon right now and having to spend extensive amounts of time in any ER/clinic/hospital. On the other hand, figured the 'rona is the best time to be serious about weight loss. Was already doing ok and now that i'm doing the 22 day athlean ab challenge (day 9 today) i'm down 13 lbs since March 13, and only 7 away from my target weight. Good luck to everyone.
  23. yup, that fits with my gf's father situation. this shit is wierd. i'm very much a pro-active measures to stay home, and mask in public, etc but if this virus is just happens to hit us at the right spot and we have few options to get through us...well then let it and protect the vulnerable until we get a vaccine
