  1. The worst part? The CDC agrees with the antivax on this issue. Citation? CDC website says "COVID 19-vaccines are effective. They can keep you from getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19." And then specifically under Delta, "Fully vaccinated people with breakthrough infections from this variant appear to be infectious for a shorter period." So, uh, no.
  2. Yeah, they really are. Data "some vaxxed people have same level of viral load in nose, but not in throat/lungs, but means they may transmit" then gets screeched as "ZOMG VAXXED JUST AS LIKELY TO GET COVID AND SPREAD COVID". They will spin anything other than "no vaccinated person has a single Covid virus in their system ever" as PROOF they don't work and PROOF that it is reasonable to not get vaxxed. Hint: it is absolutely unreasonable to not get vaxxed for the VAST majority of the population.
  3. Yeah, I've always wanted to do Bandon, but figured I would get totally murked.
  4. Really fucking solid weight transfer.
  5. Now to run like that at the tables! I would estimate that I've only broken NINETY maybe 12-15 times, so it's pretty statistically bonkers.
  6. Not sure if serious, but he posted that he didn't think a drop from 1% to 0.4% (a 60% drop) "justifies vaccination in [the pre-infected] population." If you are mocking his proposed response, carry on, and I apologize for my obtusity.
  7. You don't think a 60% reduction in re-infection probability is worth taking 20 minutes and spending $0 to get vaxxed? Lol.
  8. Additional fun facts when contemplating how absurd that 77 is, I had three sub-40 nines lifetime before today (now 5 obv), and this was only my 2nd time to break 85! So this is 8 shots ahead of my 3rd best round lifetime.
  9. Sooner Sandbagger at it again! Felt like I was closing in on a breakthrough and obliterated my career best by 5 shots. Shot 77 (was at Mustang Creek, fairly easy par 70), went into today with a 24.1 index and 22 course handi (so smoooooth net 55 lol). Index dropped to 22.3 when I entered it. Week after next, I'm playing 6 rounds in 6 days, so presuming I can keep up the form, great chance to peel tons of strokes off the index. Just really never fucked up. 8 bogeys, 9 pars, 1 birdie. One score over 5 on the card. Hilariously, I parred or birdied every hole (it's a 9 hole) today other than #2, which is the #18 handicap, and both times I made a one-putt bogey. The second time was a real round saver, as I obv know where I stand after shooting 39 on front. I cold-topped my drive on 11 maybe 15 yards, pulled my 3w second into trees, tried to hit a 9i over a tree and clipped it and dropped down. So I'm hitting 4 out of rough under a tree about 85 yards out. I punch a 7i that rolls just on the front, then bury a 15 footer for bogey. Next hole then stuff a 5 iron to 10 feet and make it for bird and back in the saddle. Then, after the round, my Amazon Music auto-shuffled to Jason Isbell "If It Takes a Lifetime" which is a damn fun listen when you just went career by 5 shots to finally shoot in the 70s. In summary, FUCK YES.
  10. Multiple federal district courts have ruled that way, and the Supremes only declined to vacate the stay based on the CDC's express promise that it wouldn't be extended beyond July 31. Also, the order itself doesn't actually address any court action, it simply says "a landlord may not...", so in Texas, since the Texas Supreme Court's 34th Order expired, there hasn't been a way to legally apply it to evictions courts in Texas. The current situation is the court asks the landlord if they are aware of the moratorium and still wish to proceed. If the landlord says yes, the case moves forward, and if the landlord is in violation, they can be sued/prosecuted under the order, which isn't going to happen. It's much more theater as opposed to the REAL, ACTUAL solution which is getting money in the hands of landlords and tenants and forgiving the mountain of rent debt for tenants. When the moratorium ends, many people are going to be 18 months in debt. People have been forced to allow another person to use their property for free for a year and a half. I don't understand how people call masks tyranny when that is happening.
  11. Incredibly ignorant move, especially when the U.S. Supremes have explicitly said this is not legal. Get fucking money to tenants and landlords you motherfucking dullards. Also, JFC the morons on Twitter and the like who are like "oh well landlord shouldn't buy houses if you can't afford the mortgage", sure you dipshit, I'm taking your car and using it, be sure to keep paying the car note. No, I'm not giving you a penny, shouldn't buy a car if you can't afford it. As if no available rental housing is actually a favorable outcome for the working class and the poors. Fucking hate everyone.
  12. This. I just watched the Chyna show and it kind of gives that impression, but it was Shawn Michaels and Sean Waltman doing the drugs. Ha I had the same thought! Was like wow Steph is starting to look like 2015 Chyna a lot! And def Steph from like 1997-2002 was wheel fucking house.
  13. Yeah, I'm in NOLA from 9/1-9/5 for OU/Tulane and this is extremely frustrating.
  14. When I went and testified at the Lege, you couldn't get in without either proof of vax or passing a rapid test. This needs to be more widely implemented. Then the lunatic anti-vax people can't screech about vaccine passports or forced vax and the rest of us can move on.
  15. We've done Texas Live before the B12 title games and it's fun/fine for Arlington from 8-10:30 AM.
  16. It's amazing how much information is easily available and yet dullards never pick it up. Pro tip, chief - sadness <> depression.
  17. Yeah, I think playing off the pod winners would actually suck. It places WAY too much emphasis on your 3 pod games and on the random distribution of teams. Super dumb to have a "four team pod playoff" of 3 5-4 "pod champs" and one 9-0 "pod champ" when there is an 8-1 team that only lost to the 9-0 team and dumptrucked all 3 of the other "pod champs". It also creates a lot of meaningless games where, say, a team is 5-1 in pod and the other 3 teams are 2-4, 2-4, 1-5 and have all lost to the 5-1 team, the 5-1 team is "guaranteed" a playoff spot and the last 3 games are meaningless. Sucks.
  18. nah. the pods aren't officially "divisions" they are just scheduling metrics. there won't be "pod standings"
  19. Same, but I would prefer ScarJo offer me an alternate thank you.
  20. Everyone knows fucking a five/six that you've never fucked before is waaaaaaaay more appealing than fucking a five/six that you've fucked hundreds of times. Come on. Also, for OU/Texas, the teams you listed were the top marquee available home games. ISU at least got to host OU and/or Texas. Now, the Ole Miss or Arkansas teams, equal to top available games before, will be the filler home games, with 1-3 of Bama, Barn, Gata, Georgia, LSU, Tenn, aggy really getting the juices flowing (aggy included b/c they are hyped to that level to some extent plus the enjoyment of putting them back in their place).
  21. Anyone who can look at this and think that anything other than "vaxx is the solution" is just emotionally attached to another answer and beyond help.
  22. CDC can’t and never has “required” masks. They don’t have that authority. Previously it was recommended also. Think of it as they have recommended that they be required. Thank an anti-vaxxer today!
  23. I think that's the current 2nd best option, behind giving every team their own unique "personal pod" of 3 annual rivals, then the other 6 teams rotate either swapping home and away first, then swap 6 and do them home and away, or go first 6, second 6, first 6 opp location, second 6 opp location. That gets everyone playing every team both home and away in each 4 year cycle. Glorious. The "personal pods" just make the fine-tuning of keeping the best games easier.
