  1. I am talking about 2021. 2020 is the fucking "Year of Nobody Getting What they Want."
  2. Man, I get the point if youre a black athlete but I never heard any of this before. Sang the Eyes a thousand times, but never with this knowledge or intent. I suppose that doesn't really count for anything but if we end up killing it that sucks.
  3. I hate masks but I am on Team Mask if wearing one for a few months gets me that much closer to seeing football.
  4. I didn't see a definition of "long term" If its 20 years then so what?
  5. Maybe not entirely. % positive is evidently going down as we ramp testing across the country. Not happy about the case increases but we have to see more. AZ is supposedly combining antibody tests which makes no sense if we are trying to stay current. I think we can all agree the data aggregation is a huge mess. Some talk the increase is hopping the border from Mexico?
  6. A shooting happens in an instant. Maybe its dark, everybody jumpy, and someone makes a bad call in a nano second. Not defending it but you can see how that would happen. This was a redneck cop intent on inflicting as much pain as possible on a person who was clearly no threat. No way anyone can relate to the need to keep your knee on this guys neck for damn near 10 minutes. Mix that with a widespread view that the police have been overly militarized and years of this kind of behavior and all the COVID frustration and here you are.
  7. How numbers can be manipulated: Arizona has a spike in cases. People are throwing out numbers of hospitalizations which a lot of us think of as salient data. I would submit you need to dig deeper and find out are those people in there from a week ago or are these recent admissions: Both of these things can be true but they can be interpreted completely differently, no?
  8. If the test result is accurate it would seem they should stay. Leave it to HR to do the wrong thing, pretty much every time. Well done.
  9. Yeah, most people are really just full of shit. Good bet this treasure guy is too.
  10. Understood. Unfortunately the intake on those stats just isn't consistent at state and CDC level. Twitter sucks in general but at least this guy is putting his analysis out there. I maybe understand about half of it. Would be interested to see a stat monster take it on. I tend to favor the specific over the general so think this is at least interesting.
  11. I love to listen to people bitch about the Fed. It helps me ID who missed the move. Rule Number One is Dont Fight the Fed. Rule Number Two is see Rule Number One. Been that way forever. Fed signaled during the last crisis they were going to reflate and easy money helped propel the bull. Same thing this time with even more fiscal policy from Congress. Doesn't do any good to bitch about it, but you have to recognize the effects. My BIL was a floor trader who shorted all the time after 2009 because he was playing the way he thought things should be, instead of the way things are. More worried about being the smartest guy in the room, rather than making money. Now he lives in a fucking van down by the river.
  12. Anybody ever look at this guys Twitter? Cant tell if he legit or not. Looks like a deep dive into the numbers daily. At any rate his point about testing and cases stands. MSM is all over cases with no context, rendering same useless as a metric. Reading his thread he says this is over already in the states and the numbers will verify as we go. https://twitter.com/EthicalSkeptic/status/1270019034113859584?s=20
  13. We need to resolve this for schools to reopen I think. Having kids wear masks all day is never going to work. We need to establish rare asymptomatic spread, and that kids in particular do not spread easily. Not sure that has really happened yet.
  14. Demographics is everything on this. The base data is messy, the interpretation are even worse. For now I will ascribe that to stupidity and not malice. For now.
  15. Same here. Thought that was always the deal but dont see reference to it in testing. Know zinc has been hard to find.
  16. I would like to see a thread focused on data interpretation on COVID. Not sure MSM understands that at all or they wouldn't keep talking about cases with no context.
  17. It was flat awesome. Used to go to the one downtown in the mid-80s. Definitely haz a sad about that.
  18. Was between jobs working in a bookstore in Denver. Really bummed couldn't watch the game, obviously a big deal up there. Huge roar goes up from the back room of the store so we knew something big happened. Great play. Went out and blew our minimum wages thereafter. And Michigan. Man their ability to less with more is on par with Texas. Incredible how little they have gotten out of all that talent over the years.
  19. Raging drug addiction, caught on film. Coast Guard will pull your ticket right quick for that. Who knows what rock that guy is living under. Too bad because he seemed like he knew what he was doing out there.
  20. Was talking to a hoaxer yesterday. Amazing thought process going on there. Now if you want to say the fear of reopening is caused by a nanny state mentality, I can go with that. Fucking mayor of Chicago took down all the basketball hoops citywide. Seriously. If this comes back in fall as experts expect, I bet the best case is football gets going and then comes to a screeching halt in October. Kind of a worst case scenario. It sucks.
  21. Lancet has shown their ass a couple of times. The fake autism vax link in particular has done a lot of damage.
  22. When it comes to outbreaks in Texas, GA, and Florida, I will take my cue from national media. If the coronavirus porn folks who seem to root for this to get worse in those states aren't blaring it across the front pages, it probably didn't happen. Personally, I thought those states were light on lockdown and too early to open. Looks like I was wrong and I am damn happy about it.
  23. Ferguson is a clown. Google any of the myriad doom and gloom predictions he has made that never came close. Fuck that idiot. I should imagine there are way more people moving through and about London than there ever could be in, say Stockholm over any given time. Extremely dense and mobile population with major international airport. Same reason NYC was always going to be screwed. Plus Sweden is coming under a lot of fire for its higher death rate relative to its neighbors so not sure they get a pass just yet.
  24. I like LeMond but I wonder about the PED. I dont think anyone really presses him on it. In the 1980s you could probably get away with anything but massive doses of testosterone. See: East Germany and USSR Olympic teams. Cycling has been dirty forever. I have doubts you could win the TDF anytime in the last 40 years without taking something. So really the question is whether LeMond is clean or just a paragon of virtue next to an asshole like Armstrong. Guess we will never really know.
  25. To me that is the more interesting story. Would rather see that documentary myself. It seems that at least LA is acknowledging that he was a total shithead. Not sure how much it really matters but it is something. Haven't really kept up but does anyone think there was any rider in the peloton during that time that was clean? Not sure that was even possible.
