  1. I asked this same question a week or so back and nobody answered so I am assuming no. Was also wondering if anyone got a surprise positive. No answer to that either and I think those are both really interesting data points. Wish we had a larger sample.
    I had a few family members take and and no surprise ronas. I feel like if anything everyone thinks they've had it when they haven't.

  2. Thank goodness Joe Biden is focusing on important things like vaccine mandates for optics and pork filled jobs programs that won't even be able to find labor and not silly shit like wealth inequality, corruption, prosecuting insurrection or healthcare. I guess we all just prayed for a rewind to the corporatist good ol days of 1910-2016 but it's unbelievable how Democrats just refuse to grasp why they keep losing despite everyone supporting their policies. Christ. Nobody will be to blame for Trump 24-28 except the geriatrics in charge of the DNC.

    The one that I am most concerned about catching a case is my 7 year old.  He had a go round with bronchiolitis/RSV/who knows what very early on and ended up in PICU with ARDS. Reactive airway flared up a couple times after that on ski trips at elevation and other situations. I recently broke out a few of his inhalers from the back of the pantry that haven't seen light of day for a while, just in case needed. He'd probably not be with us right now if mom didn't follow her gut instinct and make the call to go to Dell. Moms know. Follow their instincts.  


    Man. Our little one caught RSV in spring and that was terrifying. Darth Vader breathing and all that. Glad your little man made it ok.

  4. 1000 and above you're good.
    350-1000, get yourself a booster
    Below 350, you better stock up on horse paste and Evan Williams 100. You might possibly already be dead.
    I got 150 and I've been maskless in comal county for 6 months sans covid. So I've either got the best luck in the world, covid is a hoax, or my 12 inch dick is warding covid off like an antibody mosquito zapper. I'm assuming it's option 3.

    I'm not going to read back, way too many pages. But has anyone had covid and tested zero for infection antibodies?

  5. Got my UTH results back. Negative for the infection antibodies, 148 spike count. Pfizer in early March. Pretty sure I'm gonna die. Do I win the low score prize?

    Was a little surprised to be negative for the Covid antibodies. I've been sick a couple of times during the warm weather, thought one of them was the Rona since I had some lingering symptoms for a few weeks afterwards that tracked with post-Covid stuff. And we have not been careful at all post-vaccination. Been flying, going to concerts bars restaurants etc. In a city that gives zero fucks about Covid. I don't even know where my masks are. But there's all kinds of nasty stuff going around, both of my little ones had RSV and Hand Foot and Mouth, so who knows. 

  6. Would Curry be holding KD's hand the whole time? Curry would have his hands (and ears) full with MJ while Bird would be playing mind games on KD and Magic would be echoing and laughing at what his teammates would be saying.
    If they are using current rules, the young guys would be a man down after somebody loses their cool and throws a punch.
    That's a fair point. We know Steph and LeBron have the mental toughness. My third is kind of a pussy, but he doesn't have AIDS at least
  7. one of the more interesting aspects of this would be the shit-talk that MML would be giving SLK the entire time. would be amazing to get to watch and see how the younger guys handle it. 


    We've already watched Curry shield Durant from Lebron's shit talk. He'd protect him from MJ too. Bird, Jordan and Curry are the only three dudes that intimidate anyone but we already know Steph isn't scared. He and LeBron would do enough to keep KDs confidence going as long as they locked him out of his Twitter burners



  8. Everybody shot less 3s.  It’s not because he couldn’t shoot.  


    Kinda the point though right? We're not talking Bird in bizarro world where he spent 80% of practice reps shooting 3s. We're talking about actual bird vs. actual Curry confined by a ruleset where 3 pointers are worth 33% more, relatively, than they are by NBA rules which is huge. Curry's true shooting is like 10% higher than Birds in the normal NBA which would translate to something ridiculous. I'm not shitting on Bird. He's my dad's favorite NBA guy and I grew up watching him. But his play style would get crushed. We're not talking "Bird if he had 5 years to adapt to the modern game".

    Derka pretty clearly stated modern rules. 80s rules the old dudes win easily. My answer is just a product of the parameters.
  9. This is like when young people didn’t realize Michael Jordan was once the quickest player in the league and a poster dunk machine because until a couple of years ago all the YouTube highlights of him were from 97 and 98 when he was an old post up player.   Are people only aware of Larry Bird from 1992 Dream Team highlights now?


    Pretty sure I'm older than you, you fuck.
  10. He had 6 years over 40% from 3, and his highest finish was 2nd in the league.   Um … what was the learning experience supposed to be?
    Conceded. You're right.

    He shot 130 that year. That's less than half that Giannis shot this year. Doesn't change the point that Curry would absolutely Shred Bird. Larry shooting 3s is a best case scenario for team avocado toast because it's the most inefficient shot on the floor.



  11.  
    Larry Bird doesn’t have the range to keep a defender from backing off into the paint?  That’s just really, really wrong.   Pre-back injuries Bird also wasn’t a complete stiff who would get abused on defense as badly as we are acting.  
    If it’s 1s and 2s, the new guys win more often than not because Durant and Curry would bomb more 2s and they count double.  If it’s 2s and 3s, then I’d take MML.


    That's fair too. He was a good defender in maul ball 90s NBA. But defensively he was at his best on the prowl between the paint and the arc. Curry would have so much space to shoot. Imagine curry running around a LeBron screen and Bird trying to run around it (Or Magic trying to switch). So many open shots. It'd be ugly.
  12. How in the fuck will the young bucks guard MML? They don’t stand a chance
    LeBron would dominate Magic on both ends. MJ Durant would be a great great matchup that I'd love to see. I think they'd kinda both score at will because MJ, as good as his defense was, would have no answer for KD's rise up jumper. And obviously KD can't guard Jordan. But Curry would just abuse Bird on offense. It'd be horrific. And Bird wouldn't have the range to keep LeBron from packing the paint a bit vs Magic and him. Not a lot of range on team old head.
  13. As a Warriors fan, the idea of Beal or Dame does very little for me. A lot of redundant skills, no added size, and neither improves the defense. Forces Klay to guard the bigger, physical wings in the league, and that's asking a lot from a guy who hasn't played in over two years.
    I preferred the Siakim rumor and finding a way to replace Wiggins with a defensive-minded wing that you don't have to pay $30M.
    Siakam to GSW is championship level stuff. I've seen the rumored trade but I don't see anything that makes sense. Siakam is kind of the perfect prototype of a player with a shitload of potential and athleticism that will never be the alpha but will be unreal with some floor spacers and ball movement. He solves so many problems the Warriors have, and it worked out well the last time they had a Siakam caliber player in KD. I just don't know why they'd let him go. It's not like he's a free agent that knew he'd never win one by himself.
