    I actually looked it up before I made the post. Please do yourself a favor and do the same Total auto fatalities under age 65 in 2018 were ~50k. Estimated CV deaths so far under age 65 is ~40k. There is still room to grow, of course, but if it surpasses it won’t be by much. And it’s not even close if you look at 55 and younger, even factoring in the “stupid young drivers” factor. I’d advise you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions if you think I’m wrong in some way or that the numbers I present above justify completely overturning our society and economy and the lives of young people and businesses that are dependent on CFB Again, burden of proof is a real thing.

    This is the opposite of what is happening.

    I’m not telling people to upend their lives and be afraid of an illness that will kill fewer people under 65 in the US this year than will die in car wrecks.

    They are pushing a political narrative. Just like the governors in the BIG and pac states.
  5. crimsonlonghorn
    The same reason the county judges and mayors in Texas tried to stop school from starting a couple of weeks ago: Stop it now before people realize that the panic is not as justified as advertised.

    The real answer lies in the CR.

    Don't think I've ever seen a post that had 12 reactions and a net rep effect of zero (so far), much less anything I've ever posted personally. Talk about polarization.

    Clickbait link is clickbaity. “Nobody’s writing about the B12, lets write one about them and just rearrange the same bullshit article we’ve been writing a different way.”

    What exactly would they do differently - as students - if they did or didn't play football? Or to phrase it another way - what does playing football do exactly that makes them more of a danger to those at-risk populations?

    It's also nothing new. It can happen with any viral infection. My son developed it from a run of the mill adenovirus infection a few years ago when he was 10 and took a couple of months to recover. But he eventually recovered. Point being, it's already rare. It might be slightly less rare with covid than other viruses, but it's still a minor risk.

    But - again - that has nothing to do with whether there is a football season or not.
  12. crimsonlonghorn
    So... tell the players to stay out of nursing homes and cancer wards? You don't have to cancel the season. And even so, there is nothing special about college athletics that endangers at-risk populations more just because sports are being played. They're still at risk in either circumstance.
  13. crimsonlonghorn
    And this is a very fair point that I do not disagree with. But it gets back to my primary opinion that except for very well defined at risk populations (old people and inform people), this isn't the plague we thought it was and we never worried before about unionizing college athletes over a low-risk (to them) respiratory disease. Plenty of athletes at all schools catch viruses.

    They would only be out of action "for weeks" because we choose for them to be because the entire world is a bunch of gigantic pussies right now. But there's no medical reason for them to be out of action any longer than if they caught regular influenza, probably less if they aren't actually ill or having symptoms. Everyone acts like it's the end of the world if you catch it. It's not. It's not even close unless you are old or infirm. Let it spread and let people be immune. People have been spreading viruses and getting sick and then getting well for thousands of years. It's nothing new. People are panicking because they are being told to panic, not because the numbers actually say they should.

    MLB is doing a fantastic job IMO by not panicking and just postponing games and not acting like it's the end of the world for people to catch it, which it's not.
  16. crimsonlonghorn
    On your side.
  17. crimsonlonghorn
    How many players and coaches and staff members already die every year from other causes like cancer and heart attacks and stroke and whatever else? How is this any different except to teams that have 80+ year old coaches? Bill Snyder retired, after all.
  18. crimsonlonghorn
    They won’t do it unless they can persuade everyone to do it. Hold firm, you three.
  19. crimsonlonghorn
    Bunch of bullshit. But it's a year so far that's full of bullshit, so what's new?
  20. crimsonlonghorn
    WOLVERINES!!!!!!

    Just had a heck of a rain shower move through Sugar Land east to west. Very gusty winds and 0.25" in about 5-10 minutes. I always forget how intense these things can get even on the outer edge.
  22. crimsonlonghorn
    The quality is probably shit but I think that's a pretty boot.
  23. crimsonlonghorn
    Yes, I've ordered a skeleton bucket. Thanks for the feedback, Shag- err, assholes.
  24. crimsonlonghorn
    Yes, I have 80-something mostly native trees and each year just under 50% are going to produce enough to be worth harvesting. The spread of each tree is about 50 foot diameter, so that's a lot of very heavy cow shit to pick up. I mostly did it by hand last year and would prefer something a little more automated. The TPGA recommends just removing the cows from the land for 3-4 months before and during the harvest so that it can decompose and dry out but that's not really an option for us.

    https://mailchi.mp/the2aindustries/9mm-restock-7-22-20?e=b0de1d16fe Unfortunately, those are some pretty heavy bullets, but if you're desperate for 9mm... Also that price! Wow.
