  1. Game never really seemed in doubt after the 1st quarter.
    Card looks cool, calm, confident and in control. It will get harder but he seems poised.
    Bijon as expected, but he needs help.
    O-Line has a lot of work to do, but did move the LOS a few times.
    Whittington.....finally!
    Worthy is gonna be a beast.
    We have effective running backs blowing out our ass.
    Team will lose to OU. Iowa St. is a toss up.

    I want you to smash your face off with a broken vodka bottle.

  2. My district, Plano ISD, has a dashboard that shows the percentage of students who filled out the mask-opt-out form for each campus.
    It varies wildly across the city and makes a near perfect map of Plano's demographics. The highly Asian and Indian neighborhoods are all over 90% masked up, the poorer neighborhoods are also really masked up, and the Trumpy white neighborhoods have 20% or so opting out of the mask.
    I'm glad the school I teach at is pretty low % opt out, and I know some of those kids are still wearing masks. I have several students that are flagged as maskless in the computer system but are wearing masks anyway. Their parents opted them out for some political statement, but the kids get masks from the office once they get to campus.

    Wife and I grew up in Plano and I quizzed her on which schools would have the highest opt out percentages. She did very well by guesstimating trumpiness as you move from the east side to the west.
  3. I posted earlier about my ten-year old who tested positive yesterday. Turns out that was probably a lie. Approximately 25% of his home room has tested positive including his friends who sit together. He was exposed.

    Last night the two kids, wife and I all took the Abbott at home. 10 year old clearly tested positive (if you haven’t seen it, it’s like old school pregnancy tests where you look for a second line to appear next to the control line - there was a second line), the rest of us negative. I took him in for a PCR this afternoon to confirm and it came back negative. Another at home test likewise came back negative.

    Not sure what to make of it. The at homes do have false positives 10-15% of the time, so it could have been that. But it would be a statistical anomaly for the exposed kid to get the only false positive. He could have been exposed and just beat it overnight before the virus could get a foothold. Someone suggested he could have had dead virus in his nostrils from sitting in a classroom with positive cases this week. In any case, do double test if your kid tests positive with an at home test.

    I'd say responsible citizen answer is keep the 5th grader and 7th grader apart, keep them both home, test the 7th grader and yourselves every other day for a week and if all have continued to test negative send them back to school. No idea what the school required answer is.

    Yeah, they're both home.  The little one has been banished to his room.  He's actually been having a great time on Zoom with his buddies who also have it.  We have four boxes of Abbott home tests.  I'm hoping everyone is negative by Sunday.

  5. I'm in Spring Branch in Houston with a 5th grader in one school and a 7th grader at another.  5th grader tested covid positive yesterday.  7th grader tested negative.  5th grader is in quarantine, obviously, but what do you do with the 7th grader?  Is he clear to go to school with the negative test?  Does he have to isolate for 5 days?  10?  Maybe until the 5th grader and he are both negative?  Luckily, the school district has come up with a good plan.  Just kidding.  They don't have a fucking clue.  You get a different response depending on who you talk to and what time of day it is.

  6. I try to be nice.  At the end of the day, I don't want the unvaxxed morons to die, as frustrating as their ignorant, selfish behavior is.  But right now I'm a big fan of that tree that snapped Abbott's back.

    If he says he's "hanging in there" and "getting by" you can take it to the bank that he's struggling mightily and scared.

    Have a feeling dude is really regretting some of his life choices, one in particular.

    Role-play scenario: You can get hit in the head with a baseball bat, or you can wear one of these helmets (with no promise of getting hit.)

    Ooh I dunno that's a hard scenario...

    Sorry, that doesn't hold water when there's a 1/2,000,000 chance that wearing a helmet could lead to heat stroke, which could land me in the hospital or the morgue.  It's a personal choice and, for me, I choose no heat stroke.
