  1. Is Ride Austin still around? That would be something if he was driving for them.
  2. Yeah, just assume it has asbestos and don't test. Same as lead.
  3. I specifically didn’t highlight the word political. I don’t give a shit about the politics. You admittedly have a bias and ignore evidence based medicine that has the significant potential for patient harm.
  4. Dude, that's true of literally every communicable disease. Generally if you have to go to the hospital, you're in a bad fucking way. While I get that you don't see a downside to the regimen, it doesn't change the fact that you're ignoring known adverse effects. Dehydration, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irregular heart rate, all of those things would not be great to add to the body's stress load during an infection with covid. What doctors specifically are you referring to?
  5. Yeah our electricians retired because they were old and didn't need the money. Haven't started trying to find a new one yet, not looking forward to it.
  6. Also, if they're oak cabinets and you want to pore fill, prepare to hate your life.
  7. What he said. Brush/roll the face frames, spray the doors outside
  8. Can you expound on differences?
  9. Coworker's husband is in the national guard and tested positive last week as did many in his unit. He's been called up and in Dallas M-F all the last 2 months, home on weekends. Family BBQ over the 4th, both of his sisters now test positive. His dad and brother are getting tested today. They all have symptoms. So far coworker and their 18mo daughter show no symptoms, but until they do their PCP said they can't get tested.
  10. the urge to take the $700 in profit on it is strong.
  11. Yeah, cause what the country needs in the middle of this crisis is an agency tasked with reporting information relevant to public health. We don't have one of those yet.
  12. MvB gets released today. Looks like I know what I'm doing for lunch. Anyone had the JK dry hopped saison? Opinions?
  13. Within 3 days my st Augustine has gone from green and lush to crackly and signs of drought stress. And that’s with watering on Tuesday night.
  14. Uh, thanks Liverpool?
  15. Middle and high school are more able to learn via a remote environment. Limited evidence that smaller kiddos create fewer particles with less velocity out of the lungs, resulting in lower viral load passed on if they are infected. So are less likely to pass the virus via airborne transmission. Regarding that point: I don't know if I agree with that younger kid premise, as I haven't read the studies but people are clinging to it. Neighbor was going on about how no contact tracing in the US has indicated a smaller child has passed the virus on via airborne, but that's pure anecdote and I don't have sources. Honestly seems to good to be true to me.
  16. So I'm about 140 miles into this and I really like it. It has a few minor annoyances (uses phone GPS when I'm in the driveway close to the house, and tree cover really affects accuracy), and I wish I'd paid a bit more to get one of the Garmins that incorporate training status/effect but overall I'm digging not carrying the phone on runs. I haven't used it on as many trail runs as I'd like, as most of my runs have been after the kids hit the sack. One day I hope to play golf again, so we'll see if I ever get to play around with that functionality.
  17. NVM, after a quick google you have a ridge beam there, meaning the 2x6 is spec'd for the load and unsupported length is highly important. You can't remove the support without engineering around it. An actual engineer can tell you how, if it's possible.
  18. Without seeing the rest of the framing, no idea. But I'd guess it has the effect of shortening the unsupported span of the ridge beam, meaning removal would involve more than you'd think. Call an engineer, ours in Centex is cheap for a quick question like this ($150) and you don't have to worry about your house collapsing.
  19. You're not wrong about a poor kid not having an education and being screwed, but those poorer children are more likely to be overweight and have other health issues. So it stands to reason that in 10-20 years they have more health issues with the virus and it's secondary effects than their well-off peers. They absolutely do have a higher likelihood of living with grandma and grandpa and other family members, who also are more likely to have health issues. You might be robbing Peter to pay Paul .
  20. You can’t have one teacher alone in a room. Not being an ass but you obviously don’t know much about daycare.
