I don't know much about biology or immunology, it's been 30+ years since my AP Bio days in high school. But maybe someone can explain to me, in layman's terms, why the Covid-19 vaccines (while still quite effective in most people) still allow a small percentage of immunized people to develop infection? Is this the result of their own immune systems, even after vaccination, being deficient in some way? Or is it due to some aspect of the vaccine itself not quite being able to replicate the behavior or characteristics of the actual, live virus?

Need more pics to see if stained.

Evacuate the area and drop a nuke on it.

Maybe we could lure Tom Penders out of retirement for Runnin' Horns II?

Jeez. I remember when the limits for specs was 12 inches and like 20 fish.

When Fry's opened up here I inevitably lost my job at a local computer store.
As did many others due the many local stores closing.
Yes, Fry's had great deals but man did they knock out the local competition.
I did buy my very first pair 1G drives from there.
I thought I'd never run out of hard drive space.
I do remember in the mid-90s you could open up the Statesman and there'd be tons of ads for local, mom-n-pop type computer businesses. (But by the later 90s the bigger stores mostly stomped them out.) What was the name of that big (at the time) PC parts store that was somewhere near Lamar & Anderson, where that chinese buffet used to be? I think it was next to NTB,

Good season, but I was hoping for more behind-the-scenes coverage of the Mercedes tire fuckup with George Russell.

I swear I wasn't going to drink tonight, but Jesus this game drove me to it. "Shitshow" doesn't even begin to cover it. How do you fuck it up this badly.

Kind of a tangent but Shaka's "mask" is practically a see-through mesh that looks about as effective as a screen door in a hurricane. It ain't stopping shit.

Also.. I feel like they gave us an extra point when we had 11 earlier. Kai missed both FTs but they counted one. Wonder if they fixed that.
I never saw them fix it. Is that reviewable/reversible at this point? (I hope not.)

The freeze really did a number on my indian hawthornes, which have otherwise held up well for almost 20 years with little care or maintenance. If they don't have a miraculous recovery, what would be some alternatives that would be a little more freeze-resistant (Zone 7ish), and meet the criteria below? Characteristics I'm looking for: Hardy in Austin climate, evergreen, low maintenance, will grow with limited sun but possibly also in full sun. (Will be planted in both shady and sunny areas.)
Seems like my neighbors have some boxwoods that came through the freeze well, and I'm also thinking maybe dwarf yaupon holly. I'm no gardener, I just need something basic that will survive my brown thumb and whatever mother nature throws at it. Thanks for any suggestions.

My dad and I went to a closed-circuit broadcast of the "Super Fight" in '87. It was close but I also felt like Hagler kinda got jobbed in the decision.

Why do I have to get a driver's license to drive a car? Why do I have to maintain auto insurance, or have my car inspected annually? Why am I forced to comply with onerous and arbitrary speed limits and traffic signals while driving? Why am I only allowed to water my yard certain days of the week? Why does my house need to meet all kinds of codes for construction and utilities? Why can't I freely discharge a firearm, or fireworks, within city limits? Why do I need a permit to discharge pollution to the air or a body of water? Why can't I burn trash in my yard? Why does a person need a license to practice medicine, law, or engineering? Why do I need a doctor's prescription to buy an otherwise- legal drug from a pharmacy? Shit, why can't I buy liquor on Sunday, or choose to gamble in a casino in Texas?
All these things limit our freedoms, as much or more than a mask requirement. What is so uniquely terrible about masks? Regardless of how this pandemic turns out, when I go out in public, I'm going to wear a $%^&* mask every day for the rest of my life just because it seems to trigger these snowflakes.

After dealing with the after effects of red tide fish kills, you can see a fishery recover quickly if people are responsible and reasonable. Sometimes it takes regulations to help push that along.
After the '83 freeze, didn't TPWD tighten the size/bag limits on speckled trout and redfish? Is there any indication of how this winter storm compared to that one, in terms of impact on the bays?

Got Moderna'd (first dose) about 4 hours ago at HEB Elgin. (Conveniently next to Spec's.) No distinct symptoms yet.
How sensitive is the vaccine to correct injection technique? I barely felt the injection and it happened pretty fast. I hope I got the full squirt.

Any thoughts on this study about possibly reduced effectiveness vs. the South African variant B.1.351?
-
For those who've used an HEB location, are they typically done inside the store, or do they set up outdoor stations where you wait in a car (or in a line)?
-
Also don't forget to wear a powdered wig, and bring a small, gold-fringed flag which you can set on the table or banister in front of you. And if it's a drug case (or even if it's not) make sure to talk a lot about jury nullification.

The overhead shots make the wheelbase (and overall length) of F1 cars look crazy long.

Finally hit the jackpot with an appointment at HEB in Elgin for Monday. Maybe get some BBQ while I'm there. As far as I know, it's OK to eat before/after the injection.

I have tried to get the HEB site to work literally hundreds of times. Click on the location, almost always land in a page that says no more shots at this location. Go back, keep trying. Every once in a long while it lets you choose a date and time. Whatever time slot I choose it says “that slot is no longer available”. Every fucking time.
Same here, I'm wearing out my F5 key. Once or twice I've gotten to the second level you describe, only to get the "no more slots available" thing. Starting to wonder if you need a fiber connection or absurdly low ping to get anything.
Edit: also someone please ship some of the Midland/Odessa vaccine which apparently is in plentiful supply, to somewhere near central Texas, please.

So I'll be expecting a $600 bill loaded with late fees and interest because I drove on the toll road once in that time period for like 5 miles.

I also have some big Indian Hawthornes that look like complete shit. I never even thought about protecting them because I've never had them freeze before. Actually everything else in my yard (st. augustine, my oaks) looks like shit too.

I did eat there once! THOMAS SUPOR BUEFFET! Our little group of tech bros used to see that place and laugh at it and we finally decided one day to try it, almost on like a frat boy dare type thing.
It was everything you might have expected. I don't remember it well but I'm pretty sure they had a bin of ravioli and a bin of "fresh" shrimp right next to one another on the buffet.
Thomas' Super Buffet had the strangest mix of food. I ate there several times. I think it was still better than the Ryan's buffet on Parmer Ln, which always made me feel sick afterwards.
