    Yeah, I’m happily married but there is no way I could do that with my wife. I don’t really think we could live like that for 10 days.

    Do you ever think you will return to civilization? Could you ever see yourself living in Katy?

    I thought you said return to civilization?

    I know the Game Warden that is quoted in the story.  I wish he would end up on Lone Star Law.  He would definitely write an 8 year old a ticket for a fish that was a 1/16" too short and then probably break their fishing pole over his knee to teach them a lesson.

    sounds like a real Jurk

  3. What is interesting about it is that it doesn't seem to be pandemic driven, at least not primarily.  Other countries saw a decrease of violent crime in 2020 while ours shot up.

    Certainly there is an aspect of policing reform at play here in the wake of the George Floyd murder.  Whether it is actually due to policy or funding changes, a reaction by police forces to what they perceive as widespread hostility (some real, some imagined) or something that was going to happen regardless is hard to tell.

  4. Fat Gare, the whiniest titty-baby I've ever known, produced enough saltwater in buckets of sweaty purple clothing to power the world's first desalination plant; and, ironically, has a floppy, saggy pair of milk-producing, tear-shaped, lactating titties that produce enough milk to feed an entire board army of scared titty babies. 
    He's a great defensive coordinator who may be able solve some of this board's vaginitis. That's killing two birds with one stone; and when you've sucked ass for over a decade, that's the kind of resume you need to find. It could be a win-win situation. He's prolly a self-centered, obnoxious form of devolution, but he's family now. Go coach 'em up, Sweaty Pants!

  5. Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I need to really set aside time to learn mindfulness.  

    I seem to apply any bad experiences in the past to the future.  Like how bad things went with my previous company, and leaving to another that ended up being a really bad fit (they didn't tell me there would be travel involved in the interview process which is a no-go for my wife).  Now I am at a good company that is growing a lot and has a lot of opportunity to grow but I just keep expecting things to go bad like they have in the past.  Like I can't just live in the present. 

    Anyways, I'm glad to be able to talk about mental issues here, especially in a predominantly male space as it can feel a bit isolating dealing with anxiety as a man.

  6. I should add that my previous set was something my Dad received as an incentive to visit a time share in the early 90's.  I played HS golf with them and was competitive.  I started ordering red dot ladies clubs from Ebay trying to cobble something together during COVID.  I just wanted to hit and not think.  Got fitted for a driver and quickly found out that I could hit with some accuracy off of the tee box, but distance was lacking.  Looked into fairway woods and hybrids.  The G15 SW is serviceable so far, but I've only played 2 rounds of 9 holes and 1 of 18 with the G15's.

    Unless I am misunderstanding you, it does sound like you could use a fitting to get them sized down if they are just standard length men’s clubs. Off the rack is generally for a 5’9” man so shortening them an inch or so could definitely help.

  7. I’m starting back up after a long absence and I need some help.

    Female golfer and I’m short. I was fitted for a driver and he shortened the new club, but I don’t know by how much.

    I plan to get fitted for a hybrid, but rather than replacing my irons I would prefer to have the club lengths adjusted because I suspect that is causing my shitty playing (club hitting the dirt before the ball, mis-hits, etc). I know I’m also waaay out of practice but it doesn’t do any good to practice with clubs that don’t fit or buy brand news ones and waste $$ on something I may not be happy with after improving with some lessons.

    So, should I just figure out the driver shaft length and have the irons “fitted” by the same cut down from standard length? Sorry for the noob questions.

    Are your irons an off the rack women’s set?
  8. Does anybody else always fear the worst? I find myself fearing the future all the time, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I had some bad experiences with work earlier this year and finally find myself at a good place as of November. It has been nothing but good so far but I still catastrophize all the time. “What if these people quit? What if they ask me to do things I don’t know how to do/can handle?” Its exhausting and I can’t seem to just exist in the moment and not have anxiety about the future.

    Not sure where you saw this, but it's plausible this combo was a winner in India as it could be in other developing countries, but not by directly treating Covid. It also would have much less success in this country due to overall greater health.

    Lots of people in India and elsewhere without proper sanitation have parasitic diseases. Worms cause all sorts of systemic havoc and can inhabit the body long-term by suppressing the immune system. Worms plus any viral illness is a really bad combination. To treat Covid it would make lots of sense to first get rid of the worms. Hence Ivermectin.

    I could see a broad spectrum antibiotic like azithromycin being useful for similar reasons. Even things like tooth abscesses are comorbidities that should be treated to increase the survival rates of Covid patients. Doctors shouldn't just be throwing around antibiotics, but last spring was an extraordinary circumstance, so why not? Worry about resistant germs later.

    Not sure about vitamin D but much of the world is chronically deficient so it can't hurt.

    tl;dr Throw that cocktail at your random developing world resident and watch their survivability skyrocket.

    The Economist reported exactly this recently: https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/11/27/ivermectin-may-help-covid-19-patients-but-only-those-with-worms

  10. the only way this new normal ends for for everyone to get vax or everyone who doesn't get vax dies which means only people remaining are vaxxed. the damn thing is mutating every few months because selfish pricks refuse to get vax allowing the bug to hang around even longer and mutate. the only bad thing about it is that it's killing the unvaxed too slowly. i'm cheering for the bug. it'll take a few vaxxed along the way but will get rid of all the selfish pricks who allowed this shit to hang around.
     
    edit: when you are unvaxed and get it, just don't go to the doctor. you thought you were too smart for the medical community, fuck you. wallow in your decision.

    Damn dude, maybe get off the internet for a while.

  11. Do Austinites use 35 except to leave town? I think I’ve driven on 35 once, in the city limits, in the past year.

    I honestly don’t care if suburbanites have a shitty downtown commute. Move to civilization if you don’t want to be stuck in traffic. Through traffic has a great option to use the toll road. Pay the $2 and drive 90.
