  1. My wife called a local rite aid pharmacy to ask if she could get a booster. She’s 35, healthy, but 7 months removed from her 2nd dose. The pharmacy had no idea if they were supposed to give her a booster or not and said they’d call her back. Called her back with no real answers but that she could come in and get one that afternoon.
  2. Fuck this game. For the previous two seasons before this one my strength was my tee shots. Both driver and 3w. Regularly north of 50% FIR, occasionally into the 70s. Well above average for my handicap. But I just could not convert those fairways into GIRs. My iron play was total garbage. I was more comfortable hitting into a green with a 3w off the deck from 230 than I was with a 9i from 135. I spent considerable (for me) time working on my irons to where they are by far the best they’ve ever been. My driving has gone to complete shit.
  3. My wife is 7 months removed from her 2nd dose, just got her 3rd dose of pfizer yesterday. for those curious, the symptoms are similar and on par with the second dose.
  4. In the 1,636 counties that shrank, Trump won 90 percent of them.
  5. I feel bad for the people that were duped by the lies. I feel no remorse for the people that know they are peddling the lies.
  6. Ha. Wasn’t going to base my opinion on it. I’m only 3 months into my second shot so I’m not too concerned about it yet, but pods seems to be more tuned into the actual data than I am so I wanted to hear if there was anything on the way of testing on that front.
  7. Do you think it would be better to boost pfizer with moderna or more pfizer?
  8. Yinz have a lot of racist white trash. Yes. That school district is 95+% white. Their idea of diversity is having Jewish people in their wasp haven.
  9. Yep. I loved this line in the email announcement: ”We recognize that some families may prefer a full virtual option for the 2021-22 school year based on this decision. If you have questions about our virtual options or enrollment, please contact…” I would be shocked to learn that a single one of them pulled their kid out of school over having to wear a mask.
  10. Suburb north of Pittsburgh.
  11. As I hoped and somewhat expected, as of last night our school district is mandating masks for all students, staff, and visitors regardless of vaccination status at all district buildings through at least the end of September. They surveyed parents in the district on their preference: 54/46 in favor of masks.
  12. Make the mask bigger so it’s like the state is wearing the mask. Change the font to a bold slab serif.
  13. The next school district over from me voted last night to mandate masks across the district. The vote was unanimous in favor of masks, while the asshats booed. Then an asshole flashed a nazi salute as they stormed out. This is primarily an affluent, old money Pittsburgh neighborhood. Vote at 1:30:20, nazi salute at 1:31:30. Our school board meets tomorrow. Should be fun (sad).
  14. Gonna be fun watching all of the guys that went low at longue vue yesterday come back to the guys that played oakmont day 1.
  15. US amateur is at Oakmont this week. Parker Coody with a great round on day 1: Of the 60 players who stood at par or better at the end of the day, 58 played Longue Vue and just two played at Oakmont, which is hosting its record-tying sixth U.S. Amateur and 17th USGA championship. Parker Coody, 21, of the University of Texas, shot the lone even-par 70 at Oakmont on a day in which temperatures reached the low 90s and the heat index reached nearly 100. The scoring averages for the courses reflected Oakmont’s difficulty, as Longue Vue played to a 71.7 mark and Oakmont was at 77.1, nearly 5½ strokes higher. “If you tell me I’m going to shoot even every time I tee it up here, I’ll take it, no doubt,” said Coody, whose twin brother, Pierceson, is No. 2 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and posted a 5-over 75 at Oakmont later in the day. “It’s just so penalizing off the tee. Miss in the wrong spots and you’re looking at bogey. Just make sure you’re not making double.”
  16. Just saw that as of yesterday, my company is now over 90% vaccinated in our US offices, which includes 3 offices in Texas. My office in Pittsburgh is at 95%. I haven’t seen any numbers on any of the international offices. Even with 95% vaccinated here, if you go into the office (which is optional at this point) you have to be vaccinated and wear a mask. That changed as delta started increasing the numbers in the county. As of june, if you were vaccinated you could go into the office without a mask. If you’re unvaccinated, you’re not allowed to go into the office without a compelling business case for being there.
  17. The goal is to win the primary while other segments of the Party works to restrict democratic voting as much as possible. They aren’t worried about winning moderates. They are worried about winning the base and cutting out as much of the opposition vote as possible.
  18. I expect that natural immunity can contribute to that % as well. And I expect that’s the long term outcome of this. We get to 90% total immunity by way of vaccination and natural immunity. And on the way there a lot people will die unnecessarily. Potentially worse than that, a huge number of people will have life long debilitating complications.
  19. Duke did a study on 100 school districts from March to June and found that masking, regardless of any distancing regulation, significantly reduced covid transmission in k-12 schools.
  20. For the calendar year it was a solid 3rd. Well behind cancer and well ahead of unintentional injuries. But that also leaves out 3 of the 4 worst months of the pandemic in the start of ‘21.
  21. Jesus Christ man I know you’re not this dense. clearly I wasn’t comparing Savannah to Brazzaville. I was commenting on the fact that a large portion of the south has a current covid death rate per capita on par with countries whose citizens’ primary concern is access to drinkable water. But these morons’ brains are so addled with GOP encephalopathy that instead of taking the vaccine that’s been readily available for months they are consuming apple flavored horse dewormer. They’re only one step above recommending shark fins or rhino horn powder as a cure.
  22. The second you cross the mason dixon line you’re in the exact equivalent of Central African human development index.
  23. And they’d be correct in doing so. The American gulf coast is the worst place in the world for the current outbreak. A large swath of the country is on par with the likes of Fiji, Botswana, and Cuba for their current case load. And that despite having first access to the vaccine. The American south is a self imposed 3rd world shithole.
  24. As a 15-16 that has been knocking on the door of breaking 80 for the first time for almost 3 seasons I’d like you to kindly fuck off.
  25. Man, the finding out phase is in full force for a lot of asshats this week.
