  1. The post I originally quoted from @Skipper (the one that you quoted when responding to me) was calling the people he knew irrational for taking Paxlovid after they had been vaxxed, boosted, etc. And since you were commenting about on that and talked about irradiating covid instead of using a therapeutic to treat symptoms, it sure seemed like you either missed the point (intentionally or unintentionally), or were supporting the original comments that I was responding to.
  2. As God intended.
  3. If/when Billionaire David Booth dies and his home/acreage off 2222 on Lake Austin becomes a sculpture garden, that will be the day: https://stories.usatodaynetwork.com/david-booth-art-collection/home/
  4. I think you missed the point. Why does it matter if someone gets Paxlovid when they test positive? How is that a sign they are acting irrationally? therapeutics aren’t a cure, they aren’t a prophylactic, they don’t try to “eradicate”, they simply treat/lesson symptoms. It’s akin to saying someone who takes ibuprofen for a headache is crazy, because a headache won’t kill them, so why should they try to alleviate the symptom?
  5. I get the flu shot every year. If I contracted the flu, I'd still go get TamiFlu. I generally don't see the issue with going to get an approved prescription that lessons the symptoms/severity of the infection if you contract the virus.
  6. Did you ever read the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons? It's 4 books. It's very good. Kinda prescient because it deals with AI (he calls it the Techno-Core). It gets a little weird in the last book, but all in all I enjoyed it. I just re-read it again. The Shrike is one of the best "monsters" ever.
  7. Cosine.
  8. What a race-baiting fear monger. Only citizens can vote. Legal status means green card, which does not confer status. It's just a legal residency. Even if you say "but their kids will be citizens" - Biden won't be alive in 18+ years when those kids are first eligible to vote, much less running for anything.
  9. I do, for baseball, because I couldn't get 4 together in the "tier" I wanted. So I have 2 in one tier, 2 in the other, and then just plan to sit in empty seats for 90% of the games.
  10. Freudian slip or joke I don't get?
  11. They are on the lot now most places.
  12. Rivian does, but you have to do a lease first. You do the lease, which gets the $7,500 credit applied to the purchase price (it's available for fleet sales regardless of income or anything else is my understanding), then buy out the lease. I beleive you can do it without any penalty. But they are about 50% more expensive than the MachE or Model Y.
  13. I don’t mind this site sometimes The insights you can glean I can taste the chicken fried steaks And smell them through my screen Pepper and cream gravy Posted by a bunch of tools Who’ll never know how our NIL Stacks up with other schools
  14. The kid's in 6th grade, you lunatic. I didn't start getting drunk until 8th grade.
  15. I ate there so many times as a child. Many times it was before going to Flores Country Store. I guess my parents did alright by me.
  16. That's, uh, based on your browsing behavior there champ.
  17. I'm going to need you to go read a history book and get back to me.
  18. Why does Rice play Texas?
  19. Pics or GTFO
  20. Can't beleive the kitchen sent that out with a bite already taken out of one of the shrimp.
  21. I'm the opposite, I hate Bloody Mary bars, because I always get the ratios messed up. I'd rather have a bartender who knows what he/she is doing make it right.

    Tacos

    Con Todo (trailer at Celis Brewery) was nominated for a James Beard award. I guess the secret is out.
  23. I went ahead and booked Sunday brunch there. It was on the list, and they open at 9:30. I'm flying out at noon, but the rest of my family is driving so I can just grab an uber to the airport if needed straight from the restaurant. Was going to try to get my 70+ year old mom to agree to go to Willie Mae's - but they are closed "temporarily". That's concerning.
  24. Weird, because it’s nearly ended mine a few times.
