    100% pure greatness. Love the Texas flag, too. That could easily be Australia or west of Austin. Wonder which it is...

    I know he loves Austin but does he have a home there?

    Clearly you haven’t read the books or watched the show before.

    I’ve read all the books and watched the entire show. The Overlook is somewhat an outlier to Connelly’s usual fare. 
     

    Also, Dark and Sacred Night is another basis of the season which, I believe, is Renee Ballard’s 1st appearance. i like her character. I can’t find Any casting info though.

    I’m a major history buff, love watching a great documentary. 
     

    Ken Burns docs suck shit through a bendy straw. Like watching paint still inside of a bucket dry. So incredibly boring. While his baseball docs are the most comprehensive, there’s far more interesting ones out there (Battered bastards, Screwball, most of the baseball 30 for 30s)

    Here is one of Helobious’ favorite history books about baseball

    That's what I thought too, but Michele voted with them.  I think there's a chance that Sophie's group knew Michele was with them all along (maybe due to her connection with Nick?), hence the 5-2-2 vote, and the edit just played up a 5-5 split to enhance the drama of Jeremy leaving.

    Then why use the steal-a-vote?

    No sports, these are the best two shows I got currently. 

    I agree. I just think it’s funny when someone is live posting with no one else on the thread.

    The University of Chicago Medicine recruited 125 people with Covid-19 into Gilead’s two Phase 3 clinical trials. Of those people, 113 had severe disease. All the patients have been treated with daily infusions of remdesivir.

    “The best news is that most of our patients have already been discharged, which is great. We’ve only had two patients perish,” said Kathleen Mullane, the University of Chicago infectious disease specialist overseeing the remdesivir studies for the hospital.

     

    This isn't particularly compelling without a control group with random assignment for reference, or detailed information on the viral load and clinical characteristics, but the ID specialist feels good about the results so that is definitely a good sign. And if it moves the market in the short term, I'll take it.  

    Gilead stock is only up 15% ah. Seems like it would be significantly higher if it has the cure. 

  7. Seems like the Sophie group screwed up the vote. They should have split the vote in case of an idol. . They had 6 votes to the other groups 3 with the steal a vote and Jeremy exit.  Would then be a 3 way tie after which they could vote for whomever. It didn’t end up mattering but it could’ve.

    There is something about this that bothers me. A company puts on a charity event to raise money for its own employees, asking others to donate money when said company made $2 billion last year and has a similar amount in the bank. MGM should spend their own damn money to take care of their own. 

    I think I misread the mission. It looks like proceeds are for a MGM employee foundation that then donates to various organizations.
