    probably not going to get a tri-toon for that [rice unless it is a used older one

    70HP+ will be able to pull a tube easily maybe even 60HP 90 or more will probably get a capable, not-fat, teen up on a slalom ski

    trolling motor extra

    Benningtons are at the top of the line

    trolling motor extra

    those are all rigged with Yamaha, buy American is better and that = Mercury, but Bennington does not offer Mercury I don't think

    all outboards in the 45HP to 150HP are reliable, but the Mercury are newer technology and better fuel economy

    Thanks for the advice!!

  2. Surly geniuses...I am thinking of buying a boat.  Mostly for fishing but also for family outings.  Not much of a skier but would like to be able to pull a tube...  Thinking about a tri-toon.  Looking for recommendations??  Also, budget is +/- 22K.  Hope you guys can help?!

    That article doesn't accurately summarize the state of the science nor the individual results it reports.

    For instance, the Iceland study did not, contrary to the article, find a general prevalence of 13.3%. Rather, the 13.3% was for "targeted testing" (i.e., people with who were symptomatic, had recently traveled to high-risk countries, or had contact with infected persons). Thus, there is going to be a heavy selection bias for people who were more likely to test positive. The same paper also references a general population screening where between .6% and .8% tested positive (there were two general screenings, an open invitation portion and a random population portion).  Spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the Icelandic Population

    The California antibody tests it cites were pretty roundly criticized for flawed methodologies (self selection problems), mathematical errors, and for reliance on unreliable tests.  Experts demolish studies suggesting COVID-19 is no worse than flu.

    It also doesn't include New York's efforts, which indicated that the prevalence of the virus is under 13% for that heavily hit state. That also suggest an IFR floor for the state of ~1% (x10 regular flu) based on known NY deaths. (19.45 million * 12.3% = 2.39 million infected. Reported NY deaths were at 24,000 deaths on May 2nd when results announced, which, divided by 2.39 million =  1.00% CFR.)  NY results

     

    Fair enough, and I certainly respect your thoughts and obvious knowledge with regards to this.  However, the four studies here are just the only ones linked to the article.  There are others.  And we both know that any study can have some pretty varied differences of opinions of the conclusions.  
    The uncertainty here is what is most frustrating.  And I get it, it's a "new" disease.  Erring on the side of caution is almost always a good reaction.
    But could not the same outcome be reached by isolating the elderly and immuno compromised? Was it necessary to lock-down the country?  It seems that both methods of strict quarantine and loose quarantines have worked in differing areas...
    I'm not trying to be obtuse in any way, i guess being furloughed and working from home leaves me with tons of time to over analyze and Monday morning quarterback.

  4. Seems like there is starting to be some consensus on the fact that this stuff is affecting loads more people than earlier thought.  And ALSO, if these are right, the mortality rate is in line with regular flu...

    This thread moves pretty quick, has this been discussed?
    https://abcnews.go.com/Health/antibody-research-coronavirus-widespread/story?id=70206121

    Antibody research indicates coronavirus may be far more widespread than known

     

    If this holds true and 50 fold more people have had it than has been tallied...  That means +/- 33 million have/had this?  I get that its an extrapolation but thats mind boggling.
    Also, doesnt this make the death rate significantly less, if true?

    Yurcich wasn't a comfort hire.

    Man, I'm far from stoked about Valai but y'all are DEPRESSING this morning.

    Been depressing way longer than just this morning...  a decade in the wilderness will do that to folks though.  I'm more of a glass is half full kinds guy so I still have faith and optimism...

    It's too early to panic over the 2021 OL. Obviously there will be a lot of inexperience trotting out there and it's never easy replacing a NFL guy like Cosmi. That said, they've brought in some solid OL prospects over the past couple classes. I'm sure they'll look to bolster with a JUCO/GT take as well. There will obviously be growing pains but the pieces are mostly there for a solid unit.

    Shoot man, panic is the unquestioned identity of just about the entirety of the Surl...

    And now, collectively, we move on.

    Nope.  Nah, the Surl never moves on.  Its like the wife who remembers that time, when you were dating, that you threw a sideways glance at the hot girl across the restaurant.  Never forgotten...

    The takes in this thread are something else:

    Holy fuck...the cognitive dissonance in that thread is monumental.  The guy who says that Rudolph and Pouncey would be arrested if this was a real case in court...  i just, have, no, words...

    The mental gymnastics to twist that into anything other than Garret needs a suspension for the rest of the year...my brain does not comprehend...

    This is all so confusing!!

    So Looch says the locker room fight is a fake story created by Longhorn "exaggerates" on a message board (they always blame orangebloods for everything by the way....muahahaha!)...then a random poster "knows for a fact" that this story was actually created by the lying, manipulating Longhorn staff and spread to deliberately harm poor Saint Jimbo? Does that mean that by proxy, we are the tools of this deceitful staff of the puppet-master Tom Herman? Or is the Texas staff stupid and lazy, and THAT is the reason they have to lie to so many innocent recruits and their families? And are Matt Hayes and Texas Football somehow also on Herman's payroll, purposefully trying to bring down a championship winning coach of multiple leagues?  This seems like a pretty complex web of conspiracy for a stupid, man-kissing, vodka-swilling, titty bar cocaine-snorting, arrogant asshole like Tom HERman to mastermind.

    I wish an aggy would just make a documentary like "Loose Change" or something so I know the real depths of this Longhorn Illuminati-anti-aggy theory.

    WTF is an exaggerate?

  12. Damn, rarely has this board come together in such spectacular fashion.  The pile on Bevo is deep, and entertaining.  The race to 1000 has been made easier by one of the most universally ridiculed posts in Surly history.  Well done Bevo, well done!

    To recap the hilarity of all of this, it is the incessant bleating of aggy conspiracy theories including by the most obvious fucking bag woman on the planet all over twitter and message boards that caused people to look into the situation, only to find that aggy is caught red handed doing some extremely dirty shit that compromises the eligibility of their most prized recruit of the class in order to keep him under their thumb and not allow a flip to happen. 

     

    Leave it to the damn sips to turn this back on us and make this look like something it's not!! = Liucci probably

    ^^^^^^^^^^

    The grand total sumnation of aggy in one paragraph...

    He clearly does not play well with others. He won't let the opposing team touch the ball. 

    Looks like 8 pics in that video.  That's a pretty damn good junior season.  And he housed four of them...

    it was all insufferable. 

     

    Warren was probably the worst style of back for that line-play. Porter a close second. 

    Big and powerful...  Looked like Tarzan, ran like Jane.  Unless he was playing against Tech.  Then he was the second coming of Earl/Jesus

    Sure, OO won’t get moved off his spot much, but that’s not what Orlando asks out of his NT. He wants a guy that can penetrate, which is why he moved Oliver to Nose at UH and why Poona was such a great NT. Orlando slants his DL all the time, so he wants quickness and explosiveness out of his DL, which is different than a traditional 3-4. Orlando doesn’t care if he slants his DL the wrong way and gives up a 6 yard run on 1st down, because eventually he’s going to slant the right way and get the offense into 2nd and 3rd and long, so he can pin his ears back and force TOs or get a stop.

    OO’s fine as a guy that won’t give ground, but he lacks explosiveness and flexibility. He doesn’t get low in his stance and he’s not very quick off the ball. His HS film is just him standing up high, overpowering smaller/weaker OL. there’s nothing special about that. You can find that anywhere.

    What makes a DL elite is someone who can hold his ground and get explosive plays in the backfield. It’s the difference between someone like Keondre Coburn and OO and there’s a huge gap between the two. 

    Broughton will play at 300+ and be able to generate explosive plays, which is what makes him special. Saying OO is a better prospect or scheme fit for Orlando’s defense is just flat out wrong.

    Wow...a well thought out, rational, and exceedingly intelligent post.  You sir, do not belong on Surly...
    Now, lets get back to our regularly scheduled, sandy vagina shitposting.
