  1. A question for the docs. I have had Bell’s Palsy 3 times, the last case was about 5 years ago and the last two cases were mild. I got both of the Shingrix vaccines this past year, and had pretty strong reactions to both. Felt like the flu for a couple of days. Is that because my immune system’s response was very aggressive since it had already fought Bell’s Palsy (both are herpes zoster viruses) several times? I’ve never had any reaction to the flu shot. Just curious if I should expect a really strong reaction to a COVID vaccine, which I will get. Or if my previous experiences don’t mean anything about how I will react to a COVID vax.
  2. Well I'm in oil and gas, so anytime someone (not really talking about you here) tries to tell me or talk about how the world or even the US is going to transition into alternatives in some relatively short time frame, I try and point them to this video. Also, I really like his description of the tech sector's carbon footprint. Since I'm in the evil, dirty O&G biz as opposed to the darling tech sector, the irony is not lost on me.
  3. The following presentation done by Scott Tinker at the BEG, does a great job of addressing climate change and the difficulties and possible timing of a transition to alternatives.
  4. Shit, look at the catch! Was a good throw though.
  5. Great Win!!
  6. Presley coming back to earth...about time.
  7. Baylor playing out of their mind. Presley is unstoppable and her defense is nails. Big difference between Eggleston’s back row D and Presley’s.
  8. Unless they own 100% of the mineral rights (not likely in West Texas), can't they just permit other mineral owners under that tract?
  9. Sam certainly isn't perfect but he's a good college QB, will he make it in the NFL, who knows. But to think we have any QB on the roster who's better than him at this point, is laughable. It's the same old shit, if your team is winning the QB usually gets too much credit and if they are struggling or losing he gets too much blame. Sam is far from the biggest problem on this team.
  10. You know you are at the bottom of the rung when you are relying on Iran for tourism..."and if you go around the corner there, you will find a nice little uranium shop". Also, the Kardashians need to step up with some financial backing for their motherland (actually fatherland). They are probably worth more than the entire GDP of that place.
  11. On the long run by the Tech RB, Overshown came flying in, never wrapped up and bounced off the RB. He plays out of control at times. He can get to places others can't because of his speed but he's going to have play more disciplined or there will be a lot more of those type of missed tackles from him.
  12. That's funny and accurate...needs to be in a Dilbert cartoon.
  13. Well Concho just built a brand new big ass analog building, so if they really are going to WFH 75%, that new building sitting at about 25% full, seems like a massive waste. My guess is they will go back to much more in office when Covid calms down.
  14. Yeah I know it's 40 for Forty right now, but it's something all the fucking time, it feels like year around. Are they that desperate? Because it sure the hell is annoying.
  15. His uncle played OL for Texas, I think when Mackovic was the HC. Brett is like 6'8", I'm not sure he moves well enough to play at this level. Definitely would be a project.
  16. The RB rotation seemed a bit strange. Roschon started and played early and then didn't get back in until fairly late in the game. I thought he had been injured or dinged up, and they were holding him out. Glad that wasn't the case.
  17. Is this a King? Sister found it in her kitchen.
  18. And about 35 years old...
  19. We are also the most non-compliant, free, heterogeneous country in the world. That is currently quite polarized. Imo, once the shutdown took place in March and April, and most people here got past the initial fear and feeling of unknown, we were never going to shutdown like Europe or SE Asia, and like what happened here early on. If this country wasn’t so spread out with multiple population centers, perhaps that first, fairly comprehensive shutdown, might have been more effective.
  20. They prefer Californians.
  21. Not the way I read it. Like Newdoc said on a 1 to 1 or case by case basis it's mortality rate is less than the flu for 15 -24 yr olds. Once you hit about 200,000 deaths from covid then it starts to exceed the flu for that age group. In other words, the way I understand this, since covid spreads easier and will infect more it will eventually surpass flu in mortality rate for 15 - 24 age group if enough people are infected. Correct me if I am wrong. That's not to say that there aren't plenty of dangers associated with catching it, even if you are in that young age group, which has been discussed. Obviously spreading it to the more vulnerable is at the top of that list, and the unknown, possible long term damage you may incur from infection. I am particularly interested in this information because I have two college age kids that are about to leave home for school.
  22. I think what he signed was for approval for specific infrastructure. Like pipeline right-of-ways, construction of railroad bridges across the border, etc... I assume it requires his approval because of crossing international borders, but not sure.
  23. Tom overconfident...really! Nah...
