Alamo is the only theater I like, the rest are aweful experiences. Especially since AMC installed the most pathetic "bar" i've ever seen. It looks like that transformed a broom closet. It's about 10 feet wide, with two bar stools, and all they serve is domestic swill and well drinks. If you can't do Alamo drafthouse, don't bother with a half-ass attempt.

I binged on Hulu before it hit Netflix, and I enjoyed it as much as when it was in production. I do think the extreme opinions of how "brilliant" the show is and how "Season __ was terrible" are both way off. It was never perfect. I always hated Pierce's character. Abed could get annoying sometimes. Chang was funny but became a cartoon character ("Changnesia" took up way too many episodes). I actually think I liked Britta the best. Her glipses of self-awareness were always funny. I really like the last Yahoo season, with the new characters working out just fine. The fact that they got six seasons from a show about a 2 year community college, while losing half the original cast, and was still enjoyable, is something I really appreciate. I do agree that some of the episodes in isolation are truly brilliant.

If I understand things correctly, Dallas was looking at Riggs in the first, Gallimore in the 2nd, anae in the 3rd or 4th. And got them all a round later, plus lamb?
It's a conspiracy. The league needs its most valuable franchise to get out of its 25 year slump. With Ginger gone, we may be on to something now.

Maybe Jerry should spend more time on that boat.

Looks fast as hell. Will he be allowed to return kicks? I can't remember the last time we had someone who could return a kick worth a shit.

This was my first reaction too. I could see them doing some pretty interesting things with him, but they have some needs other than a "flex" position. It's not like they were great last year.
(1) He's not an NFL QB in skill, (2) even if he could develop over time he'll be thrown in way too soon because Wentz is made of glass, (3) fuck philly.

Liked our pick, and love the iggles wasting theirs on Hurts, lulz.

Got damn I wish I could get some of their stuff down here. Maybe one of the delivery places has it.
You’re in Houston, right? I’ve never shipped beer but I could figure it out. What’s hot in Houston right now? I follow Brash brewing because it cracks me up but no idea if it’s any good.

The guy in Oklahoma is hilarious and I used to think distracting, but his story is actually kind of neat. He's actually deaf himself and receives signs from another person. They explain that he can convey better to the deaf community than the first interpreter. He also has a good sense of humor about it.

@Brisketexan, @Thujone, @CleverNickname, @Jack Straw, @TwiceHorn, @hornian,... & that's all I can remember for the moment.

People like this pay the bills, and most lawyers would charge a hefty retainer to deal with petty shit. What the problem is?

How many of you have a bad-ass University of Texas mask? I have a very nice one my neighbor made.
When I come out of my house in about six months, I am going to wear it.
My friend does costume design for the local opera and made me a badass OSU mask. I'll post it later.

Stockholm says they'll reach herd immunity in weeks
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/22/no-lockdown-in-sweden-but-stockholm-could-see-herd-immunity-in-weeks.htmlI'm not a doctor and I haven't read as much about this as most, but I don't think this statement tracks.
"“In major parts of Sweden, around Stockholm, we have reached a plateau (in new cases) and we’re already seeing the effect of herd immunity and in a few weeks’ time we’ll see even more of the effects of that. "
I'm pretty sure that "flattening the curve" (i.e., hitting a plateau of new cases) is not the same as herd immunity. The article later says:
"Herd immunity among a population, usually achieved through vaccination, is reached when around 60% of citizens are deemed immune." and "Tegnell said sampling and modeling data indicated that 20% of Stockholm’s population is already immune to the virus, and that “in a few weeks’ time we might reach herd immunity and we believe that is why we’re seeing a slow decline in cases, in spite of sampling (testing for the coronavirus) more and more.”
It seems to me there is a big difference between 20% and 60%. Are they seriously expecting the number of infections and recoveries to increase three times over in a few weeks? Or are they speculating that a large portion of their population is immune because they never caught it? I read that while the governments didn't issue shut down orders, they suggested social distancing and stay-at-home and the people were mostly complying, which is something that society can do much more easily than us because of their social programs that allow people to not go broke by missing a paycheck or two.
I have read enough to think there is something seriously flawed in this article. I'll be interested to see some articles that might clarify this a little. If this were true, then the protesters would be right, but they aren't based on everything else we've seen from doctors and pandemic experts.

There were some sketchy pop-up websites stirring up some of those cities, the kinds of sites that can be spun up in a few minutes, with a $10 domain name and $2 hosting.
But here in Austin, it was the full on Infowars/Alex Jones crowd, and they’ve been doing that kind of stuff for years. From my run-ins with that crowd over the years, many of them don’t seem to be...working a 9-to-5 job. I don’t know what the Austin equivalent of a parent’s basement is, but I think plenty of them reside in whatever it is. Maybe it’s the proverbial garage apartment.
Welfare and disability. It's everyone else who is lazy and hates freedom though.

Yes, yes we should....... if they would take a 4th or something like a 3rd with a 4/5th back then we should jump on it. Howard can block and is a weapon in the passing attack.
I think we should get him and put him at QB. He'd be sooo much better than Dak, cause Dak sucks lulz.

Probably where we're headed in most major cities. Try to make it work and have contingency plans to move back to SIP in the event of a second wave. There isn't going to be mass testing at this point, so just going to roll the dice without it.
I don't know if this opinion is mainstream or not, but I don't know how much my behavior is going to change. I am still going to keep working remotely - maybe pop in the office once a week or something. I'll probably keep avoiding bars and restaurants at the very least. A mask is necessary but so impractical at those places. I know I should avoid the gym too but fuck me I need to lift.
I worry about small communities around national parks. You know a ton of people are going to try to get out and visit those over the summer. A lot of those places aren't necessarily equipped to handle a COVID outbreak.
Same here. I'll mostly buy from the local breweries and liquor store and socialize through small home gatherings. I'll probably buy more takeout, but we weren't eating out a lot even before COVID, so I don't know how much help I'll be. I like that they are an option and I don't want them to close. I'll be doing a lot more backyard grilling and bbq.

After we reach the downside of the curve, could we all agree to wear masks everywhere in public, bars and restaurants can lower capacity and set up distancing, let bars, restaurants, breweries, and liquor stores continue curbside and delivery, and office workers can also return, with masks, distancing protocols, and tons of sanitizer on every desk. I guess it only works if and when there is widespread testing and the ability to identify where there have been cases (i.e., "cases have been traced to the Home Depot on 10th Street during the last several days. If you were there, please quarantine for 14 days). It won't be the same, but it's something. And only if the doctors say it would be safe enough to not overwhelm the healthcare system or put people at inordinate risk.

Even if they could just use the new patriot logo with a white helmet and the old school helmet stripe like the brady pic, it would be a huge improvement.

I just don’t understand the need for dark colors alternatives. The first four are good. The last two are wtf. Just choose a color scheme and stick to it.

Isn’t that pretty much everywhere in the US except for New York?Are you suggesting that the US can make a claim for the "world’s best-functioning health-care systems"? If based on skill and technology, maybe. If based on accessibility, nope. I don't think much more can be said without breaking the rules.

Coverage of fringe protestors is good for CNN, coverage of CNN's coverage of fringe protestors is good for Fox...and then Twitter happens
Yeah I get it, I just wish they'd let the twitter tabloids take the lead and just mention them in passing. Just annoying.

Why is the media so obsessed with small groups of idiot protesters? It's kind of interesting, like a train wreck I guess, but these are a small fringe, the same idiots who carry bazookas into McDonalds 'cause 'murica. But they don't represent the public, and it's a distraction. They aren't going to overcome the science of how and when we can start opening shit up, so why again are they taking such an inordinate amount of media?

Sadly, the worst case scenarios are becoming more and more likely each day. Trump should have been removed from office long ago, whether by impeachment or the 25th, but instead, the GOP enabled and protected him.
I fear we've reached the point where the election doesn't matter. If he wins the US is screwed because he'll be even more emboldened. If he loses, his followers won't recognize the defeat as legitimate and the fractures that already exist will burst at the seams.
I honestly can't even think of a solution that doesn't involve lots of bloodshed.
His followers are too fat, lazy, and stupid to really do anything but bitch and moan on social media and at their little sign rallys. If Trump himself refuses to cede power peacefully, the military leaders aren't going to go against the people, and they'll do to him what they do best. I used to have some of these fears, but I think his defeat will be resounding in November, and I think his followers are more about trolling than actually doing anything serious. They are all small dick cucks at heart and deep down they know it.
