    I don’t think so I know one is a longhorn fan for sure and never heard the other say anything about aggie.  Yea I agree, I was tempted to stop by truths after I ate there to get some for later.

    If they are aggy they are not the jizz jar type aggy.

    Got to give a shoutout to LJ’s bbq in Brenham.  They are doing pork belly burnt ends on Saturdays now and they are awesome.  Also had a sausage, chicken and brisket gumbo today as a special that was great.  

    Went through there a while back when I was picking up my smoker and truth was closed. The bbq at LJs was exceptional and they gave me a ghost in the machine IPA out of the fridge in the back at no charge. 

  3. I can’t tell you how many times I said the words “son, hunting is 99% about patience.  Just chill buddy.” 
     

    occasionally I would follow that up with “now stop talking so loud and hand me that whiskey bottle.”

    I called it in to the pharmacy, talked with the pharmacist to make clear the reason for the prescription, and got unquestioned cooperation. 

    I’ll tell you exactly what the person on the other end of the line was thinking as s/he rolled their eyes.  
     

    “This dumb fuck psychiatrist calling in combinations of anti infectives to treat an acute covid case is even dumber than the infectious disease doc I was talking to earlier today that was doling out drugs to treat schizoaffective disorder. I hope this patient with multiple comorbidities including CVD and at risk drug interactions doesn’t stroke out on this shit and the board comes after me.”

    Stupid question, but why are they waiting 2.5 weeks to have the advisory committee meet? Is that prep time or something? Seems like they would want to get this going ASAP. 

    I believe that there is a two week notice period required. But you really want to give the AdComm attendees a chance to review every fucking decimal point of the clinical data before they come together.

    you aren’t suggesting in this specific instance the law is incorrectly applied are you?

    None of the lawyers have opined otherwise.

    Yeah, the sticker-shock is... well... shocking.

    My wife bought ours without really telling me, it just appeared.  She makes smoothies and protein drinks and soups with it, and I'll admit I was a little angry initially, until the first time I used it to make chile gravy and realized it was a miracle tool and I have no idea how I lived without it.

    But like JJ said, they take a beating and look and perform as if brand-new, so it's likely the last blender you'll ever need to by-- if that's any consolation.

    This.  I resisted the wife's insistence for a while, but after burning through two other POS blenders we bought one and it is awesome. 7 year warranty, but this thing is rock solid and should last a long time.

    Interesting, but way too small of a sample size. In the conclusions, they did a pretty good job of summarizing the shortcomings of their own study.

    It should also be pointed out that fluvoxamine has some unique pharmacological properties distinct from other common antidepressants.  In some of the data I have seen, BH/MH diagnoses generally and antidepressant use has pinged as independent risk factors for COVID, so there is a lot going on here to be unpacked. There may be some unique aspects with fluvoxamine, or it may be a totally spurious finding.
