  1. rare footage from the ship moments before getting land locked.
  2. just carve out an enclave in west Texas (sans mineral rights), tell them goodbye and good luck and let anyone who wants to have at it. The Federal tittay is just too sweet to stop suckling on.
  3. I am using the PWAY 4K@60Hz switch. I would make sure to get a 60Hz switch and not a 30Hz one. got it on Amazon
  4. sorta superhero tie in. maybe a workaround if Sony won't let Spiderman plan in MCU
  5. sell his contract to one of the Dominican teams and bus him down there. win win
  6. even when 6G comes out? should be able to just stream the T-cells from the towers at that point.
  7. https://www.verywellhealth.com/length-of-covid-19-vaccine-immunity-5094857 like others have said, it's unknown at this point. I would think that 4 months after your 2nd shot should be right in the wheelhouse of peak protection assuming you are not an old. go ahead and rock out with your cock out in NO, imo* * past performance of taking gyro's advice and not dying is not indicative of future success.
  8. 'others' at that point are adults who chose to not get a shot. So fuck them. The <16 (18?) crowd, i think trials are going on, but have no idea on the timeline. I know a few tweens/teens (son's friends) that are still really scared about the virus despite their parents explaining how rare kids that age are severely affected. fingers crossed that any variants don't start affecting the kiddos. here is an excerpt from an interview with Moderna CEO on the vax vs the variants. This is from Jan 25th, so not the most up to date, but perusing other articles, no one is saying that the current vaxs are helpless vs the variants and that all of them should guard against severe illness. So vs the UK variant, there is basically no change to level of protection. Vs the SA variant, the efficacy is lower and there may be some danger to older recipients (whose immune systems are weaker) ~ a year down the road. There may need to be a booster for that variant or it may go into a flu-shot like cycle if this stuff keeps popping up.
  9. true. it's their job and their duty to do their own research and own approval. Can you imagine the backlash if they rubber stamped it based on EU approval and then shit hit the fan? i don't have a problem with it. Taking other entities word for stuff is how the Boeing Max issue happened. They (should be) staffed and funded to that work, so let them do the work. The stuff with the initial c19 test kits was botched because we did not want to use the WHO test and make/design our own. That felt more like pork to me (and we fucked it up) but regulatory approval is a little different animal.
  10. so the gov can spend money on brother-in-law deals with US companies to the do the same work. promises made...promises kept... to campaign donors.
  11. i think the big story is that a fleet of white hatchbacks invaded McD's that morning. i haven't seen that much lack of pigment since a yell practice at Pyle field.
  12. self fulfilling prophecy. they already believe that doctors/hospitals inflated the c19 deaths for profit and fun. is there any published number of estimated C19 recovered people + vaxed people? there's ~30m 'cases' but there has to be double/triple that of unreported cases? that's why i think the nth wave will not be as bad as predicted. The most likely to get hospitalized is the most vaxed demo. The 1-15 yo kids are basically immune to severe illness and I think i saw an article that said 30% of that age had antibodies already. The 16-24 yo are all spreading to them selves during spring break. The 50-60 demo is getting vaxed in record numbers each week. Also, the most likely to get hospitalized from the 25-49 crowd should have been vaxed or in line as a 1B person. Optimistically, when you add that up, the deaths and severe cases should continue to go down almost despite any stupidity on our part. Yes, it would have been great if nationwide we could have mandated masks for say one more month and a lot of the big chains are least holding to that. There should be a dose for every American over 18yo by June, right? the US dropped from 7-day avg of 3K deaths per day on valentines day to down to 1900 deaths (7 day avg) one week later and has continued down to ~1000 7 day avg per day right now. I hope the trend continues and hope people choose to get vaxed or their employers take the decision away from them. But hope in 1 hand and shit in the other...
  13. when does the 'copter get going? we will finally surprise those sneaky martians at that point.
  14. you have to plan ahead if you want to be in Group 1B for morbid obesity in the next pandemic
  15. update. just went to the airport and was in and out in 20 minutes or so. the 'interview' took 2 minutes. probably just used the Family Guy skin color terrorist guide and called it a day.
  16. if Jesus descended from the heavens with a Muary Povich certifed DNA test showing Mary and God as the parents and ran on a platform espoused by the New Testament...he would lose by 50 points in a republican primary. by only 40 points if he could convince people he was white with a really killer tan. Probably lose by 30 points in the dem primary. The tweet is awful.
  17. don't the current vaccines 'prevent serious illness' against the variants even if they don't fully block infection? I hate to use this phrase because of the political ties, but at that point can't c19 be viewed as 'like the flu' if death and serious illness are taken off the table? i don't see a vaxed person as being back at 'square one' vs a variant, but I am not super on top of the latest info. The RNA vaxs can be changed to fight variants fairly quickly, but distributions and funding are the bottlenecks. I don't the see the world govs continuing to guarantee to buy this many doses sight unseen for variant boosters.
  18. it was obvious that Trump wanted as many deterrents in place as possible to make crossing the border as traumatic and painful as possible. From separating families to if you believe the inside sources who recounted the bizarre stuff like shooting migrants in the legs, electrifying the fence, even a moat with gators and snakes (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/us/politics/trump-border-wars.html_) - look, if you are a brutal dictator who wants to close off your border, breaking hearts and minds of those trying with this stuff probably seems like a good plan. So now that we don't have a brutal dictator in place, the surge of people trying to get in is expected. How to manage this is the billion $ question.
  19. on a 30hr round trip my wife drove ~10 of those hours and we did not get lost, wreck or go slow. end thread?
  20. just got 1st moderna today at a CVS in lubbock. They are the only city that has consistently shown availability on the cvs website. we were there visiting in-laws and scheduled the wife and i. still openings if anyone is in or around the hub city. Scheduled 2nd and got appt in Mesquite (we live in Dallas). lol at the lubbock CVS not even enforcing mask wearing, though. guess there was a reason hotwheels lifted the mask ban there.
  21. user name checks out for false accusations
  22. this was (mostly) hyperbole as when a POC commits a murder/heinous crime these things instantly come up. "No dad in the picture", "mom DNGAF and probably used drugs"
  23. i think the victims and their families 'had a bad day'. the shooter should be labeled a savage murdering POS with no empathy for human life. and his parents should be shamed for raising a monster.
  24. my HS education was turrrible. i entered UT in the EE program and was so far behind it was sad. my small town had 1 HS and it's plan was to cater to LCD and actually make smart kids teach the dumb ones. kids from Houston and Dallas were coming in with Calc I and II / Physics I and II credit from their HS. basically starting with a 4.0 on 40 hours or so. My HS did not even offer those classes. I had a shitty study regimen because HS was so easy, so had to adjust fast. our kids went to both public and private before they were diagnosed with dyslexia/dysgraphia. then we moved to a private school that specialized in that and could tailor their classes to best remediate the issues. We are lucky to be able to afford that shit and try to give a healthy amount to scholarship programs so other kids might get the same chance. the tuition is insane though, no humblebrag
