  1. So I am to believe there is not one damn pediatrician within 100 miles of Austin who has access to pfizer vaccine, willing to tell the APA to piss off, and take my $500 cash for a age 5-11 vax? There are docs out there prescribing bullshit ivermectin scripts, pain pill mills, and all manners of fraud. And not one doc is willing to give a shot that, apparently, has like zero risk?
  2. BYU, UCF, Cini, and UH are just so excited to join the Hateful 8. It's adorable. I wish them luck.
  3. I think I had mentioned I wanted a bolt gun in 7.62x39. Several times I've tried to order from Academy (ship to store) and it would always dump at the last minute for no inventory. And then today it just... went through. Edit: dammit, it got canceled. Grrr.
  4. Sure. This was probably mid 2000s, before we had kids. Flew into to Great Falls. Rented canoe, fire pan, water, toilet system, cooler, etc. See mroutfitters.com for prices. Website seems to have hardly changed in 15 years, lol. I think we brought our own tent, sleeping bags, and our jetboil and cooking stuff. I think the outfitter (out of Fort Benton) picked us up from the Great Falls hotel. Rented a badass kevlar canoe, cut through water like butter. The full length is 149 miles, but you can do chunks. Fort Benton - Coal Banks, 42 miles Coal Banks - Judith Landing aka “White Cliffs”, 46 miles Judith Landing to James Kipp Recreation Area aka “Badlands or Breaks”, 61 miles Check for the free online BLM guides. I think we did Coal Banks to Judith Landing, 5 or 6 nights. Van picked us up and returned to hotel in Great Falls. We smelled like hell. You pass (and can check out) some old cabins and historic Lewis and Clark campgrounds. We saw one person in 6 days (John boat going upstream), but lots of cows and cowshit. Daytime weather was hot, and one storm blew our poor tent nearly flat. Thought we'd lose a pole. Saw bald eagles and bighorn sheep. Back in Great Falls we rented a car and did Glacier and Waterton National Parks. Worth it. Altogether it was a killer 2 week vacation. All in all about the easiest wilderness there is. Some current, but a class 0 throughout, maybe a couple laughably easy riffles the guide book warns about. Make no mistake, its high desert. Biggest risk would probably heat stroke or rattle snake. If I were to recommend the most perfect canoe trip without budget or time constraint, do the Yukon or a tributary. Cooler weather, also awesome history, but evil mosquitoes.
  5. I vaguely recall a couple articles a few years ago about a flag football offense. I think it involved always looking to pitch after a forward pass. Id like to see someone attempt that. https://www.footballstudyhall.com/2015/8/18/9166647/no-punting-and-now-bringing-rugby-to-football-an-interview-with-coach
  6. Think next summer there will still be a shortage? I want to do Pacific NW national park tour, but that kind of thing can get expensive. My budget is often something like: Rental car, plane tickets, hotels: pick 2.
  7. SDSU gets at the heart of conference issues. For football, coast to coast may be fine. But for non-reve sports a little geographic rationality is called for.
  8. Is it Total Recall that has the listing of fligjt times with one blinking HIJAX red? Soccer match, listed as COUP. Some real shit.
  9. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Sciatic. Arse hot poker, except sometimes it's lower calf, or a rictus of blue balls. Steroids, please please work. Can't sleep, but sitting all days itself is pain. To the church of codeine, I pledge my soul.
  10. @High Plains Drifter To echo HiggyBaby: So CVS and whatnot really would like to book insurance, get you in the system and all that jazz. But the vax clinics run by public health organizations just want shots in arms. They aren't planning on billing insurance, and don't have much interest pushing other services later. CVS gave me the runaround with my daughter, even demanding some proof of her age (which I don't think they can even do, but I get it: she didn't even get pierced ears until after shot #1), whereas the local public health authority amd their overwhelmed staff treated us with nice bureaucratic indifference and lack of further inquiry.
  11. Listen to Peter, people! You think a pineapple parrot is a good friend for a crow? You fucking moron.
  12. Moderna #2 4/4 787 Negative
  13. I have a CHL and disapprove of the new law. I saw my fellow classmates during the class... i dont think half of em should carry on the reg. At least fifty percent of people are derps, after all.
  14. I think it is likely that (a) kids immune systems do very well against covid, even delta; (b) it remains to be seen if delta truly is a game changer in terms of contagiousness in classroom settings; (c) virtual education as provided in 2021 is not as good as in-person, for actual learning, socialization, and mental health; and yet (d) providing a reasonable virtual option and applying mitigation methods (mask mandates, pods, outdoor lunch, better air handling, testing) is clearly the best policy option. The polarization is insane! I'm not sure I could voice opinions (a) through (c) on my Facebook FUSS group, and clearly the rapid anti-maskers are waaaay to upset about something kids just shrug and endure without much complaining.
  15. One day the greenbelt between 2222 and NW Hills is going is going to explode.
  16. Our cub scout pack still uses it all the time. Collect fees for stuff and then turn around do reimbursements etc. Easier than cutting checks from the bank account. It's also great for money laundering.
  17. I went to bed with it at 105mph and woke up to 150mph
  18. My pops went to Illinois, so I've been a happy bandwagoner in those rare seasons they don't suck. Is it possible that Bielema could actually be enough to get them respectable?
  19. If we post videos of Leanderthals at school board mtgs, immigration from California may cease completely.
  20. Fwiw AISD (my wife teaches there) and RRISD don't actually want you to quarantine. At least not HQ. I know what the notice says, but they aren't keeping yall out. I'm in the same boat - close contact notice on Friday. Son was home Monday & Tuesday. No symptoms, I guess. A headache one day, but then grasses are sky high. Did a OTC test yesterday and will again tonight... and if both negative... shit, I don't know. But it's our conscience keeping him out, not the school. I bet most of his class was there today. On testing, I think I heard 5 days is the standard. Maybe do a test first thing Weds, and then fuck the world?
  21. So I called the school registrar, per the close contact email, to tell them we would quarantine. She passed me off to the nurse, who basically said its not really mandatory and that if the child is feeling fine, then we could bring them in. WTF. So confused.
  22. I was just about to buy a ruger american in 7.62. Nodak makes iron sites, and a lack was what was holding me back. But if 7.62 ain't so cheap... oh hell, I will probably get one. I have some spam cans anyway
  23. RRISD elementary. Just got close contact notification email. Recommend (requested?) one week quarantine. Sigh.
  24. One thought, and this relates to FDA approval... once there is adult pfizer approval, a doc can do "off label" use of a drug. I.e. perhaps give an adult 30ug shot to a child. Will many pediatricians do that? I have no idea. Liability concerns, naturally. If you have 2 kids, maybe they could split a single 30ug dose (so 15 units, the 5-11 cohort study is 10ug) each. But my understanding is that could happen, completely legally, as soon as next week. Now, as someone who may know someone who had a 6th grader who is the same size and development as many other kids in the same grade technically a few months older... I bet there are tens of thousands of folks who have already done it. Maybe one of those folks would come clean to their pediatrician and see if they would provide a reduced child size dosage for the second shot. That's all theoretical mind you. I have heard, sample size of 1, no ill effects were noted after 1 shot. Additionally, with FDA approval off-label use would let doc give a J&J based person get a pfizer or moderna.
  25. Pfizer full FDA approval Monday. Off label x to age 11 on Tuesday? Commercials starring Trumo family?
