  1. The US should give out a 2fer1 Pfizer covid vax/ Viagra coupon with every shot. Boom, problem solved... unless you're Moderna or J&J. @walensky, are you listening?
  2. Are they? I really haven't seen much change around Austin even with the "Aggy rollercoaster in September" looking incline in cases.
  3. And each month that goes by and you're not vaccinated, the credit amount reduces.
  4. Lies, damned lies and statistics?
  5. Family friends' kids got it and gave it to their Dad, who had Pfizer shots. He said it was one bad, achy night of sleep. Mom, who got Moderna did not get it. Those are just two data points out of a billion though, but I'm always curious what flavor vaccine the breakthrough cases got.
  6. Which is a little curious given that the vaccine wasn't widely available until March, which puts everyone fully vaxxed 6 weeks later. Edit:. Nevermind. Read that wrong
  7. If I'm reading the X Axis correctly, I think it's more important to figure out which 10 states omitted data.
  8. Hold up. They're using where you got the shot, not where you live for county vaccination rates? If Travis county is at 70% by that metric, we might be actually above 80%. With APH having trouble with the roll out in the beginning, all my family went to either Bexar or Wilco for they're shots.
  9. What's Austin's vaccination percentage for those over 18?
  10. Why did you get a third? And are you planning on a fourth anytime soon? Maybe mix it up and throw in a Moderna? Edit:. I did read you're going on a trip and six months post 2nd shot.... But I don't think a third will prevent a breakthrough infection. If you get it, you get it. You just won't have a bad time like all the other unwashed.

    Is parking at pickle research center an option? Their website says $6 parking, but I can't tell if you need a UT sponsor for the lots
  12. I think he means that if he hangs out in a room full of vaccinated people, his chances of getting it are slim.
  13. Because they've got awesome chicken, I was at the Rundberg HEB last week and I'd guess 75% of the shoppers were still wearing masks. I guess it's because none of them are vaccinated, which would follow the trend for that zip code.
  14. We're like two months removed from Ohio's lottery, right? How's their uptake? I'm all for incentivizing people. I mean, the real incentive with a vaccination is not dying if you catch the virus, but some people feel like true winners if you give them a $100 walmart gift card.
  15. We went to a Sky Viewing/ Star Party a few weeks ago. They were still in Covid protocols so we didnt actually get to look into the telescope, they just projected the telescope views onto a screen out on the patio. So call first to make sure you will get to look into an actual telescope lens. The Sky Viewing alone was totally worth it. But the Star Party was basically watching what amounted to a powerpoint presentation of what the telescope was viewing was pretty lame. We had also climbed Guadalupe Peak that morning so I was balls tired. That might've added to my grumpiness about it.
  16. Having trouble finding it on Youtube, but Sturgill performed "House of the Rising Sun" with the National Symphony Orchestra for Joan Baez's Kennedy Center Honors a few weeks back. It's phenomenal. Best I can do is share the link to the whole broadcast from CBS and tell you to fast forward to timestamp 26:40. Do the work to watch it. It's worth it. Watch Kennedy Center Honors Season 2021: The 43rd Annual Kennedy Center Honors - Full show on CBS
  17. I think it depends on what're the next steps for NC State's covid situation. Also depends on whether we want to be SEC Champs or not.
  18. Is Tim Crowder irradiating athletes? Seems more harmful than vaccinations...
  19. Thought this was going to be the clip of Andrew Knowlton working 24 hours straight at a waffle house.
  20. That's an awesome book. Glad it finally got made
  21. Agree, but I think I lot of people think an ambulance ride, plus a 5 night hospital stay with surgery and two weeks at a rehab facility should be a $5 co-pay.
