    My friend got the OG Covid and his taste/smell have never fully recovered. He says that coffee tastes like gasoline and marinara makes him sick to his stomach. I’d rather have the vaccine side effects I think. 
     

    I don’t regret getting the vaccine, but it was unnecessary based on my age and risk factors. It’s easy to look back now and be more objective. At the time I definitely got swept up in the panic… Meh, live and learn I guess. 

    Your first paragraph points out why it was necessary. And there is no age / risk factor  demo that was completely safe from the novel coronavirus. I recently saw a healthy 36 yo patient (33 when she contracted covid pre vaccine) who went into cardiac arrest and coded. She had Covid and mild fever aches and cough but went to ER with chest pain. She was being discharged from the ER after rule out MI (normal ekg and cardiac enzymes < 30 minutes prior to the arrest); they got her back and took her straight to the cath lab where they found complete occlusion of the LAD (widowmaker) and one other artery. 
     

    so would you rather have had a super rare complication of Covid infection or super rare complication of the vaccine?

    I am a little sad that I not only know this but take advantage of it as often as I do, but with the app you can nearly always get free small or medium fries with another purchase.  I order ahead (3 minutes from my office) for the basic chicken sandwich and a small fry - about 630 calories, so not nothing but far from the worst - and get my lunch super quick for $2.76.  No drink, but I quit soft drinks anyway...

     

    Poor username to post correlation

    Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences.  If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

    While I agree I bet the students at some point will be allowed to take makeup finals. If they are seniors they will be gone after that. For the others I wonder if they will be allowed back to complete their degrees

    That was my question from before the trial started. Are they going to call Daniels and McDougal extortionists? I mean they have to right?

    I don’t know how they do that without tacit admission that he did have sex with them. And if he did, then clearly the money he paid (or that was paid on his behalf and then reimbursed through his business as “legal fees”) was to keep them quiet ie campaign donation. That ties the prosecution’s argument up with a nice bow imo

    It wasn't the best book in the series but I did like it. It did seem like he was attempting to tear down the mythology of Lonesome Dove with Streets of Laredo. From what I recall, he never intended Lonesome Dove to be a tale of western heroism and over corrected with Streets of Laredo.

    Regarding Pea Eye, I know a lot of people didn't like their pairing but I thought they made a good match and it made a lot of sense in the books. Pea Eye wasn't as old and slow in the books.

    I think he wrote it that way because of Return to Lonesome Dove. I mean he kills Newt with hell bitch. Deus ex machina in reverse kind of. He’s like fuck you no happy endings here. Or maybe he just hated Ricky Schroder

    Not everyone is SO ashamed of it, desperately wanting to be something we’re not. And just because I know this will elicit some CR responses, I’m ashamed of Confederacy, but in no way ashamed of how Texas has overcome it and become much better. 

    No, for the third fucking time, I wasn’t made to sing racist songs. How many times are you going to ask this question?

    Well that’s the first time you have answered it directly so thanks for that. I have close friends from 5 of the major frats at UT. This was a little over 30 years ago and they all had to do so. So maybe a sea change happened in 4 years, or your frat was an outlier or lower tier
