  1. There is no option. From the notification I read, if you had bought tickets for 2020 they refunded your money earlier this year. You log in and apply for the lottery like you would any other year and then they will select those accounts to buy tickets before they draw the lottery.
  2. From my understanding, if you had tickets for 2020 and didn’t get picked for the limited number of tickets for 2021, you can sign up for tickets now for 2022 and those people will be able to purchase those tickets. Then they will run the lottery for what is left after that.
  3. There are so many examples of him acting like a bitch but he also tries to act like he doesn’t care and he’s this robot that just expects to win majors. Like when he said the person that made the US open commercial a couple years ago should get fired because he wasn’t in one of what was probably a dozen versions after he had won twice. He’s one of those people that just seem like a douche bag. Like there are those people that you can have one short conversation with or see them interact with someone for a minute or two and you just know they are a douche bag to most of the people they come into contact with. He seems like that.
  4. The J&J vaccine was 66% effective in preventing any infection, but 100% effective in preventing hospitalization. So you’d expect regular testing to show somewhere in the neighborhood of 30% of asymptomatic cases. I don’t know how many people are employed by the Yankees but 7 completely asymptomatic cases and 1 minor symptomatic case doesn’t seem wildly out of line with those numbers.
  5. I wonder how much Rogan’s shift towards Trumpiness is intentional and recognizing what the bulk of his fan base wants to hear and how much of it is just Rogan being a dumbass. It’s really easy to get a moron to make several leaps of logic when you start with a generally agreeable position. Freedom is good. Stalinist communism was bad. Stoicism and self reliance are strong ideas to incorporate into one’s character. The masculine side of humanity has positive aspects and is not something to be rejected outright. A lot of the right wing media guys seem to start from these positions and then distort them into anti-left, anti-intellectual, dangerous radicalism.
  6. The thing is, there always has been and always will be a group of people that wanted themselves to succeed regardless of what tole it took on another group of people. Most people wanted the country as a whole to succeed, thought it would be nice if the American dream was accessible to everyone, but only really cared about themselves succeeding. What has changed is that one political party has convinced millions of people that the only thing that matters is hurting another group. That those people over there want to destroy your way of life, take your money, and take away everything you enjoy, so all you need to care about is electing people that will hurt them. Your success doesn’t matter right now because all that matters is hurting them. Give us some of your money and we’ll make sure that they don’t take more of it. They’ve convinced the rubes to act against their own self interest in the name of hurting other people more. It’s not that most Americans don’t have a shared set of values. It’s that one party and its media arm has convinced millions of people that most of the media, doctors, scientists, universities, big businesses, actors, artists, anyone living in a city, everyone who wasn’t born in the US, are all conspiring against you to take away your money and freedom so you need to trust us.

    I’m intrigued but I’m wondering how much of those benefits could be gained at once or twice a week instead of 4 times a week.
  8. The two that I’ve heard of are one where some high school girls track athletes were suing the state of Connecticut (I think) claiming that they were missing out on opportunities to compete at higher levels because they got beat by two trans girls, and the other was a power lifter who won 9 of 9 events and broke a bunch of female records and then was stripped of all of the trophies and records after the governing body found out she was trans. I’m sure dominating their sport played no role in their transition, but I’m not surprised that girls and women who try to compete at the highest level of their sport have a problem with trans athletes setting marks that are likely impossible for a person who was born female. Edit: That’s not to say that I agree with the women that feel that way. Prohibiting trans women from sports runs antithetical to everything sports should represent. Also, no one except Karen and her parents care that she missed out on states by half a second or who holds the female masters 40-44 powerlifting records. Especially compared to what the opportunity to participate means for the trans women.

    2021 Lawn and Garden

    Thanks. I’ll get them repotted and see how they do. I’m still a few weeks away from being able to get them into the ground. In zone 6b and we’re projected for a little snow later this week.

    2021 Lawn and Garden

    It was dry on top when I took that pick but I thought maybe my daughter is watering them too much. Seems like the containers are perpetually soggy.

    2021 Lawn and Garden

    Why did my tomato plants start turning yellow about a week after we transplanted them from a seed tray into small pots? That was a few days ago and they’ve continued to get more yellow. The roots are growing and have grown out through the pots in a number of places.
  12. There are some range games you can play as well. Set an imaginary fairway at whatever width is challenging for you, say 15-20 yards. Take 40 balls and, starting with your shortest club, hit until you get the ball in the fairway, then move up a club. See what club you can get to before you run out of balls. If it’s too easy make the fairway narrower or make it 2 balls in the fairway before you can move up a club. Another one: Imagine a 20 yard fairway. Find/create or imagine small greens (approx 20-yards diameter) at 100, 150 and 200 yards. Then complete the following stages in order: Hit two drivers in a row that land in your fairway. Hit two shots with a fairway wood that land in your fairway. Hit two shots with a long iron that land in your fairway. Hit two shots in a row that land on your 100 yards green. Hit two shots in a row that land on your 150 yards green. Hit two shots in a row that land on your 200 yards green.
  13. Gonna be a chilly start to the season for a couple hours tomorrow morning. But the clubs are clean, the bag is stocked, new glove, new shoes, and the clothes are picked out like it’s the night before a middle school field trip. Starting my golf season in March instead of shoveling snow is as good as it gets.
  14. Damn, thought that was going to take one more hop into the bunker
  15. I mean I guess it’s cool, but he still missed the green with a wedge in his hand and carded the same score as someone going driver, 5 iron, putt, putt.
  16. The county with the lowest cost of living in the country is in WV. A living wage for a single person there is $13.29. For a family with 2 kids and both parents working it’s $18.31. If a company can’t afford to pay its employees $15 per hour either the business model is fucked or the people at the top are keeping too much for themselves. End of story. And that’s how it should be sold to every single mouth breathing, hillbilly trump supporter. “You didn’t vote for us, but we’re fighting for you anyway because we give a damn. Trump gave massive tax cuts to corporations. Did they raise your pay? No? They can afford it. They could afford it before and they can sure as shit afford it now. But they are too greedy to pay you a living wage and the GOP doesn’t give a damn about you.” The Dems need to shove it in every hillbilly’s face that the GOP is voting against making life better for them and their communities.
  17. Anecdotal, but my wife and several people she works with were pretty wrecked by both doses of the Pfizer shot from about T+8-12 hours until about T+36 hours. Fatigue, headache, soreness. Her 85 year old grandmother had no symptoms whatsoever from the first dose of Pfizer, just got the second shot today.
  18. Itshappening.gif The last of the snow melted off over the weekend.
  19. Despite it’s failings, D3 at launch inferno difficulty was a lot of fun.
  20. I think a conservative number would be that the top 150 counties in the us by population (470k and up) have all had at least 4 months (many have had closer to 8-9 months) of daily triple digit average of new Covid cases reported. That’s at least 120 days of triple digit cases reported per 150 counties. That’s 18,000 reports of triple digit new cases, just in the last 4 months. Most of the top 40 or so counties have been in the triple digits since June or July. That completely ignores the thousands of small town news papers that have added to the count. There have probably been 50,000+ reports of triple digit cases in the US in the last year. Just googling “beaver county times Covid”, a shitty small town newspaper covering a county with 150k people, the first article I clicked on has the numbers 200, 204, 763, 126, 111, 663, and 188.
  21. The framers of the constitution discussed examples of impeachments that happened years after the official left office when writing the article. To them, blocking those officials from ever holding office was just as important as removing a current elected official from office. For exactly these types of situations. Trump’s crimes against the country should prevent him from ever holding office again.
  22. So instead of leaving the ball where it was for the rules official to take a look. He picks it up and then pokes his finger into the ground and asks the official to check after he made a fucking divot with his finger. Fuck him. I hope he loses the next Ryder cup for the US by getting caught cheating in his Sunday match.
  23. I bought my first table saw last week. Was ripping some Baltic birch to make a crosscut sled today. Had a piece that I was ripping into 5 equal strips for the front and back fence. Got to the last piece and it was .125 short. I should have had an extra .25 to trim off of it. I just stood there dumbfounded for a second like an asshole trying to figure out how I got it wrong until I realized I never locked the fence. Smart.
  24. According to google the brick and 1940s era drywall/plaster give the exterior walls a combined R value of roughly 2.
  25. What do you guys do for heat in your shop? It’s currently 20 degrees outside, which means it’s maybe 30 in the garage and the little space heater I have isn’t cutting it.
