  1. So here in Lincoln, which is 70% vaxxed, LPS students are 20% of the cases.
  2. I’ll have to say I’ve enjoyed the hell out of it so far. Anyone else here watching it?
  3. Lutherans moved a lot of Vietnamese too. Why do you think the Hmong all ended up in Minnesota and Wisconsin?
  4. The Mormons and the ELCA Lutherans are probably the religious groups that do the most in refugee resettlement area.
  5. I’ve always wondered if Toyota does insurgent focus groups to make sure they keep their edge in the field
  6. While there are a lot of failures here, is it even possible to build a cohesive armed force there? If you did the exact opposite of the above deals, I don't think you necessarily end of closer to a useful national army.
  7. As bad as the collapse has been, taking the long over due L on this was needed. By taking the L we can start moving ourselves forward finally, and maybe not rush ourselves into another trap.
  8. Knowing where they’re at is a lot different than being able to not end up glowing in the dark.
  9. Nuclear winter should offset global warming nicely
  10. Because if anything this pandemic has showed us is that people here will quietly tolerate shortages and inconvenience as part of a perceived greater good, right?
  11. I’m really only concerned about how we deal with the situation at hand, and given that we can’t stop stepping on our collective dicks on that front, and I can’t imagine how spending a bunch of time trying find something to blame is going to a constructive use of time.
  12. The fiancé and I decided today to go ahead and punt of the idea of an October PNW honeymoon and hope people figure their shit out into spring
  13. Leaning on rocks will help you do that.
  14. And some times skepticism wonders out on to the road and gets hit by the truck they were questioning the existence of
  15. Pretty much anything ordered now has to be pre-sold by the dealer before it goes out by everyone in Ag or ag adjacent. Until it slacks off no one is going to get anything for stocks until trade. I know of 1 Agco dealer that has basically 3 weeks of full plant production of the big tracked tractors and HHP models already on the books for fall.
  16. One of the things working in the commodity business has taught me is that a 3% miss on something like corn yields, or sow farrowings turnings into 30% moves in other areas really quick. I don't think that is something that is grasped by the public at large very well. Also that if you get behind, it's hard as hell to catch up, so you have to stay ahead of things, and the cult of cost cutting is bring that home in a lot of lower end retail business now. Locally we just had a Family Dollar have all their staff quit, near the Burger King where all the staff quit after both places tried to run who they had into the ground.
  17. The Mayor and Chancellor Green have pretty much washed their hands of trying to do anything proactive after dumbfuck Ricketts and Governor Candidate and current Regent Pillen have been trying to kneecap them on everything.
  18. The speed that stuff has fallen apart here in Lincoln has been shocking even with pretty decent vax rates in Lancaster Co. The Garth Brooks Stadium concert is cruising ahead for next week to supercharge things too.
  19. I got COVID immediately after getting my first Moderna shot. I got symptoms on Sunday, and could taste and smell again by Friday
  20. I’ve noticed today’s talking point to circulate is Mike Rowe peddling the you can’t look down on the unvaxxed about it because it’ll hurt the salt of the earths feelings, and then you’ll never get them to take it
  21. I've always loved the Olympics. All of it comes from being raised in a sports loving family that had a bunch of success in wrestling and T and F, along with my Grandma being around at the dawn of Women's sports. (She was in tennis exhibitions vs. the US open champ in the late 40's, and MVP of the Navy's women's basketball team) So this was always something we took seriously, and then getting engaged to a T and F coach/D2 All-Conference athlete enhanced that. I've donated money to the USOC to the athlete funds for year, and will probably continue to do so. While the games have been weird this year, I've found plenty to enjoy, and will probably continue to do so in the future. I'll echo the sentiments that I could give a shit about the nationalism angle, and just want to see athletes doing cool shit, regardless of their flag, and my understanding of their sport. The IOC is corrupt as fuck, and bidding for games is fucked up, but what country does a good job wringing graft out of mega projects? I don't feel worse about watching it that I do any NCAA stuff. And if an athlete wants to use the podium to promote a cause, I say more power to them, because I'm not into needing to police shit because folks can't handle that things are messy, and I don't think the athletes owe me shit.
  22. So you want the US to give up our imports? Shit countries have fought wars with plenty of hired soldiers, why should the Olympics be any different? Why get hung up on blood and soil nationalism now?
  23. The US Military literally has a program to recruit Olympic Athletes from other countries. Do you want to see the best in the world regardless of how they get there, or are you someone who jacks off to petty rules bullshit?
  24. I wonder how much having crowds at the Olympic Trials and then going back fucked with them instead of being empty the whole time.
  25. They're starting to find out that they were going to be finding out real soon.
