  1. I bet that dude is just going to keep catching all the variants...
  2. I read out of 1200 tests, one third were positive yesterday. Would like to know how bad or non existent their symptoms were.
  3. I dont think AISD can afford to go virtual. Plus, Elizade said AISD follows the science. It would be rather unscientific to stop in-person learning due to covid.
  4. The Courier font is a nice touch.
  5. Based on the CDC's revised prevalence of omicron, are most places still fighting Delta?
  6. Oh man, the VAERS database is riddled with that kind of stuff. "My 85 year old dad got the COVID vaccine. He fell and broke his hip two days later." Similarly, in the 5-11 aged Pfizer trial, one of the kids broke his/her arm. Obviously (to most people) that's not a side effect of the vaccine, but it still had to be logged.
  7. Couldn't we just practice here and fly in the day before like any other road game? I want this to happen more than I should.
  8. Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling
  9. First time for everything, I suppose.
  10. Way back on TOS I had brought up that he was speaking as part of a Foodways Texas Symposium and that I was bummed because you had to be a member to attend and I wasn't a member. He DM'ed me and asked if I wanted his guest pass because he got some because of his participation. He had a lot of faults. BBQ was not one of them. If you could graph his business and bbq acumen on a chart, I'm sure they'd be diverging axis. RIP
  11. Either that's true and we don't need boosters or that's full of shit because there have to be 95 years olds with breakthrough cases that have have died from C19 complications.
  12. Is that the full list or are there a bunch of Tate Martells in there too?
  13. Here's how AISD is announcing early release Wednesdays in today's email from the district: You'll have to click on the first link to see the "37 Early Release Wednesdays" down at the bottom. Seems like that's a little more important than telling everyone that Juneteenth is a staff holiday. "Early Release" has not been defined. Maybe it's just 30 minutes. Maybe it's two hours. But this is the kind of bullshit PR that's going to get parents riled up.
  14. I have an 8th grader there. Lamar is our neighborhood middle school and my 5th grader will likely go there next year, but that's more of a result of my kids personalities than the schools. Feel free to ask me about kealing. I get the sense that kealing doesn't do a lot of the normal middle school community building stuff, like kids going to sporting events or have dances. They did pre-covid, but haven't brought any of that "rah rah go hornets" stuff back.
  15. yup, it's every single Wednesday. More Teacher planning time. I think there will still be more educational minutes in the year if they adopt this, which means either the calendar or the other four school days get extended.
  16. Proposed AISD calendar for 2022-2023 has 37 Early Release Wednesdays.
  17. Solid double horns down from the crowd followed by a fumble. Good job pokes
  18. Paul Cauthen & Vincent Neil Emerson doing the final longhorn City limits on Friday Guaranteed to be better then the game.
  19. What's funny about blaming Waze is that when I went to F1 last month, printed on the back of my parking pass said "Use Waze to get to your lot"
  20. Didn't something like this happen at a pride parade in Florida recently?
  21. I think no one really knows yet. My understanding is that boosters increase antibodies, which prevents illness from ever happening. Those wane over time, but your body still has immune memory should you get infected. When that occurs, it still takes a while (3-5 days) for your body to remember how to make the antibodies. You can still get sick, but your body will know how to fight it and prevent the serious hospitalizations. If you're somebody who can't ever even get sick, boosters are probably the correct course of action. But if you don't have any co-morbidities, you should be okay with the normal dosage. Of course, time will tell on that. I got a lot of that from the following Atlantic article, and it was retweeted from a lot of vaccine equity docs and scientists, so there's likely some of that slant to it. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/08/americans-are-losing-sight-endgame/619916/
