  1. too bad she was not packing heat while on the zoom call and could protect herself.
  2. ffs, let's ignore the vax studies and glom onto dubious horse paste studies that show little promise. you can't make this up. Just tell them that pfizer owns the patent for the horse paste anti-parasite ingredient and they will stop eating it this is the equivalent of clicking on the 'one weird trick to cure ... ' and going in whole hog, but can poison you.
  3. San Saba golden armadillos clocking in at sub 30% vax rate.
  4. ok, that was the story i heard referenced on npr. remembered they were supposed to do a story on Monday about it and was going to post.
  5. also, those 95% eff. number were based on the phase 3 trial which started in July 2020 and ended early Dec iirc. So tons of people were following suggestions and wearing masks, working from home, etc... it makes a big difference in the numbers. it's not like the OFF mosquito repellent commercials where they spray an arm then stick it in a cage full of hungry mosquitos. The trial patients went about their normal life and did not yolo licking doorknobs and seeing how many people the could ride an elevator with each hour. most of the US was masking at this time. Most are now fully back to doing whatever/whenever with no masks, so just from that then effcy would go down. Add in that some data suggest Delta can even make vaxxed people spreaders and here we are.
  6. not looking forward to everyone under the sun start sentences with "SEC level ..." whether talking about recruits or physical attribute of a current player etc... This was done because we were losing ground in recruiting, right? So looking forward to UT bagmen and bagwomen to start making SEC level payola to the recruits. Shit, i just did it
  7. furk. hopefully the backlash will get them to change their stance. going at the end of August
  8. Tusken Raiders, aka sand people, did that. Jawas rode around the big tank/garbage truck
  9. Nice! yeah i think breeding is where it's at for making a little money. Even the crappiest horses are selling for $150 now. Even with ZEDs take, breeding stud fees are decent as well.
  10. are you buying with metamask or through CC? It's been a while since i have bought a horse and Opensea has changed their format a little (CC option is new). I don't think there is gas for buying with metamask and using polygon WETH. Take a screenshot if you can and i can look at it. But for most OS buys, yes gas will vary a lot. Especially if something big like a popular NFT drop or some altcoin is going berserk on the Eth network. Drops are just short time frame spikes, so check back in ~15 mins or so if gas is looking crazy.
  11. this is just a go fund me for Trump ball cradlers with the added bonus of a data breach. adding -coin to the project was like adding .com to everything 20 years ago.
  12. races are ~ 14 hours from entering now. ZED has gotten a ton of pub lately. Saw a WSJ article yesterday i think about the $20M investment. let's get those extra servers up and running!
  13. Damn, does this guy own that horse? That's the power of the cane button.
  14. ZED horses on OS live in the polygon WETH format. makes it so you don't have to pay gas to delist or cancel bids which is nice, but you do have to convert it from ETH to polygon. This will allow you to pay entry fees in ZED, pay breeding fees in ZED etc... but it also works on OS for ZED horses. I have have never tried to buy a ZED horse with regular ETH, maybe you can, but again there are some advantages to using the polygon WETH. So just do the conversion inside ZED for easiest way. in ZED ui you are transferring ETH to WETH. That will transfer to the polygon WETH you need. The downside is the fees are kinda high to transfer btween ETH and polygon WETH (especially taking money out of the ZED WETH account). you can always wait and try at a later time to see if fee will be lower.
  15. metamask first. Then use metamask to create accounts on ZED and OS I fund metamask from my coinbase wallet. To fund ZED (convert ETH to polygon) use the in game transfer method is the easiest. it will take some time, it's not instant. OS will work as is with ETH transferred into the metamask wallet, but for ZED items on OS, you will need the polygon (shows up as WETH in OS). Sorry it's confusing, but don't confuse the polygon WETH with the standard WETH. ZED will not work with that standard WETH. Having all three looks like this in your OS wallet ETH polygon is what ZED needs metamask will not show the ZED polygon WETH by default, but it will be there. Again you can check ZED or OS to see what is there. There is probably a primer on the ZED site or a link to one that explains this better
  16. yeah, i listened ~2weeks back to a AMA of Doofy's twitch feed with 2 of the ZED higher ups and they are trying to hire a ton of developers for the all the block chain stuff. It sounds incredibly difficult to do all they want to on the L2 polygon chain and that's the biggest difference say between this and just designing a game for the PC. Makes me feel better about having so much $ parked in ZED assets though. Better than reading about ZED founders stuffing all the money in a kangaroo pouch and riding off into the sunset. after poking around NFTs for a while, ZED is like the rock of Gibraltar compared the most of the fly by night stuff...but that's not saying much tbh
  17. yeah, you can keep trying if the mare is not showing the 'Breeding Limit Reached' . I have only had it glitch right when they turned it on. got a couple of extra foals. The Royal We hit like 5 foals in that first day, i think!
  18. mares are limited to 1 foal per month. studs can breed 3x per month
  19. racing chickens drops today, just sayin' https://bitlovin.com/
  20. yeah, i don't think they move the min base all the way to .25, I have been sniping cheap Nak covers as soon as mares reset to breed though before any move is announced. That makes Nak blood super expensive. .48 to breed with a Genesis and .4 to breed with a Nak Legend at the floor. This will stop most inter bloodline breeding up. It will not make sense to pay $500 to breed a Finney or Buterin when you get a Finney or Buterin foal back. no way those will sell above what you paid. also makes in-house breeding a lot more expensive even with the discount.
  21. i wanted to see the back side of the ride. i bet the struts and supports look like some cougar high erector set bullshit.
  22. tend to agree, but youngest just turned 11, so right at the cutoff now. early next year we are looking to travel overseas and there are (or at least were; have not checked in a while) still vax requirements for entry. we cancelled a big fam trip to Europe that we are looking to rebook. would much rather just have the whole fam unit vaxed up.
  23. RE: 6-11 yo vax; lazy googling did not turn up much other than 'vax makers may submit emergency auth request in Sept or Oct' Is there a more definitive plan? This probably puts vax available for that age group at Dec or so. Earlier on, it seemed like 6-11 would follow right on the heels of the 12 and up group, but does not look like the case now.
  24. yes, treat the new one (and obviously the installed one) as if it has a charge. for the 3 contact ones, just use an insulated screwdriver and connect the common (usually marked with a C) contact with 1 of the other contacts. repeat for the other contact. For a 2 contact just connect both to discharge. you can't short out a capacitor in the sense you are talking about.
