Muy Frio

50 Years ago today.

Took the kids out today for a swim. Haven’t seen the river this low in a while, but it’s still pretty. I got some decent amateur pics.

We’ve talked about this before. I don’t want the USD to go down, that’s just what I see happening. It would be foolish of me not to plan accordingly.

The biggest things undermining the USD are American fiscal policy, military adventurism, and our overly aggressive use of it as a weapon. Crypto is a byproduct of these things.

Looks like it’s going to be a check the price repeatedly kind of weekend. Pushing 48k. I honestly am not sure other than I think if I stay above -100 I can stay active.

Ticking back up

Good idea. Will do eventually. Gonna take a little break first.

For my final post. let me start by saying for the 100th time, that the vaccines do work in preventing severe disease, and if you haven’t had covid before there’s not a lot of reasons for an American adult to not get the vaccine. That said this is looking more and more like it’s the truth. From a favorite source of Med Twitter. Does anybody here really think previous infection and recovery from Covid doesn’t confer better immunity than that against symptomatic infection? Please. And over a much longer timeframe. People should fret a lot less over what previously infected people are doing with their bodies. Congrats @JesusSweatDuck you got me. Negged every post on every forum I had. Let the record show me posting a Cleveland Clinic study was the last straw. Certain data make people uncomfortable and angry here and I’m not sure why. I guess it’s the cognitive dissonance. Remove the source and remove your mental discomfort. Good bye now.

It looks like I’ve upset someone again with my lukewarm Takes. If there’s something exciting Bitcoin or crypto wise I might start another handle. Until then, ciao.

Do you have any numbers on that?

I’m not focusing on one. Just keeping this brief and pointing out probably the “cleanest” one. This argument is tired.

This is the best study I’ve seen on natural immunity and vaxxed vs unvaxxed. “Propaganda” from the Cleveland Clinic. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.01.21258176v2

Sorry to hear that. I’m surprised thought that they aren’t continuing outpatient procedures. They don’t take up in house resources and still make the hospitals money.

In people with natural immunity, yes it’s in this thread. I don’t want to muck up the thread with same tired discussion though.

I thought I’d bump this thread to see if we could any other posters interested in doing a dynasty football league. Pasted description from the other thread. If you haven’t played before, the basic premise and scoring is the same as standard (redraft) fantasy football, but you keep your entire roster year to year. The league would start with a startup draft this summer where you draft your entire team up to whatever roster limit we set. You play the season and every year after the NFL draft there’s a rookie draft where teams pick the incoming rookies. It’s like nfl draft in that worst team gets 1st pick etc. There’s more strategy and trading throughout the year because teams can trade rookie picks to get veterans if they’re in win now mode or sell off players to rebuild etc. It’s a lot more fun and engaging in that way, since it’s more like your own team year to year. The last couple years we’ve gotten stuck at 8 interested members. If we could get 2 more we could at least have a 10 team league. The plan was $100 buy in annually, Superflex meaning you can start 2QBs. That makes the QB’s importance more in line with the real NFL. I’d commish the league through MyFantasyLeague and the funds would be handled through the League Safe website where winnings are released after approval of league members. DM me or reply to the dynasty thread if interested or have any other questions.

Thanks for sharing. The holes in that study have already been discussed here as well as a rationale for still passing even if the 2.3x number is correct. I’m not here to rehash it.

I imagine what he would tell you is that whatever reservations he had before about the vaccine, he still has them. Whether they make sense to you or I or not. And now that he has natural immunity he’s not looking to get it.

Lol. Gee I wonder why he won’t come over.

Also thought this was interesting tidbit regarding expectations moving up.

Also, if you ever try to go on Price is Right, make sure Jimmy is your guy in the crowd helping. Which costs more, the Stove Top stuffing or the Julio’s tortilla chips?

You would think there would be people working out a way to do prospective trials vs retrospective.
