  1. Another good way to judge the bs of something that might be a large issue is when the sentence starts with, “why is no one talking about…”
    or a similar variation.

    Or the line “makes ya think, huh?” After they screenshot some conspiracy thing and post on their Instagram story.
  2. I had it a few weeks back and it was really nothing more than a cold. 1.5 days of runny nose, slight fever and body aches. I was J & J vaxed in April of ‘21 and never got a booster (basically unvaxed at the time of my infection, depending on your definition). I’m really having a hard time with seeing how this vaccine helped me that much, must less a need for boosters and/or getting Moderna or Pfizer. 

    Pure anecdotal here, but of everyone I’ve known that has gotten covid (unvaxxed, vaxxed, boostered) my wife and I have had the most mild symptoms of the people we know and all we had was the JnJ shot last March.

    Is there to much of a focus on antibody measures and not enough reviews of T and B cells? Does the JnJ do a better job of building immunity from T and B cells but a worse job at preventing infection?

    I’m pro vax. Tried to get booster shot, but every time I saw an available appointment it didn’t fit my schedule.
  3. I had it last week, symptoms super mild. Light sore throat for 4 days and then the day of brain fog.

    I worked out today and noticed my heart rate was much higher than normal for a light workout but my breathing seemed normal. Yes, I’ve been lazy since the holidays, but my two workouts the week before covid were pretty normal.

    Anyone have a similar experience? I suppose I’m still in that window of having it so that could explain it.

  4. Just booked a trip to NYC in 2 weeks, dirt cheap flight and staying in SoHo. Wrapping up my omnicron + and ready to get back in the world.

    Already booked the comedy cellar, (it’s always a must for us).

    Any fine dining recs (yes I know last minute hard to get a reservation) or bars? Haven’t been since early 2020 so any insight into what to avoid or be aware of would be helpful too. Fully vaxxed, are places cool with digital vax card?

  5. Checking in as +.

    Outside of being tired for 2 days and a sore throat, the only pain in the ass was the brain fog yesterday that went away by 4-5 pm. I couldn’t remember shit most of the morning unless I wrote it down. It started fading mid afternoon and by early evening was gone.

    JnJ showing its muscle!

    Wife has it to, she’s basically had very very mild flu like symptoms hers started before mine and still continue but nothing crazy. Same JnJ. We both got it back in March.

  6. Ok.  I know these are basic and stupid questions.  I also know we have a gambling board.  Nevertheless, here goes...
    One of the things I'm really looking forward to is gambling at one of the casino sports bars.  I've read as much as I can, so that I don't look like a dumb dick when it's time to place a bet.  Tell me if I'm missing anything.
    Let's say I want to bet on a game; money line.  From what I understand, the board/screen will have a game # with the spreads/money lines.  As an example, college bball (I'll be there for the tourney.)
    #452  Texas - 450  Prairie View +300
    So, in order to bet Texas, I'd say, "Game 452.  Texas" and hand the guy/girl an amount.  Is this correct?
    I know how the payouts work.  I've just never actually placed a bet, other than a parlay I used to do with a bookie back in Knoxville.  
     

    Highly recommend downloading the app. So much easier to place bets in real time and you don’t have to go back to the window to cash in your ticket, etc. The app also allows you to bet anywhere (that is legal) so you don’t have to worry about trying to run to the sportsbook right before kickoff when you’re hungover from the night before.

  7. Nice stove but it reminds me of the time my dad bought my mom a microwave for Christmas.

    My dad bought my mom whatever was considered the fanciest vacuum at the time and said it was from my siblings and I (we had no idea) one year. He also bought her a Lexus that same year.

    Solid troll job.

  8. I have HuluLive and ESPN+ and only issue I have is when spectrum fucks up and internet goes out.

    Love the Hulu UI. Don’t DVR shit as anything I want is on demand after the fact.

    Only negative is making sure I log in once a month while at home so I can watch on my phone when I travel.

  9. Any idea if Milwaukee does the mount back plate as an adder? I bought a smaller one to fit between some existing stuff and was going to install a pegboard on the wall but like the idea of it being mounted to the bench to hide wood and other large objects behind it.

  10. Super super premature, but considering a second property. Not sure what, everywhere from a condo in Chicago to land in middle of nowhere. Wife and I are on two different spectrums here but there’s a sweet spot on both extremes we’d agree on.

    Any recommendations on things to keep in mind when looking? Any gotchas? Extra costs were not thinking about? Minimum time in a place to keep in mind, etc?
