Covid/Influenza/Black Death. 2024 and beyond
Speaking of vaccines, both of my teenagers got the flu vaccine several months ago, and both have been down for the past week or so with the flu. It spread like wildfire through their high school over the last couple of weeks. I, too, got the vaccine and so far have avoided getting the flu, but I'm steering well clear of those little germ factories.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Their conspiracy theories are so strange. I mean, WHY would anyone ever try to subvert their program and stymie their chances of success? Even in a world where you believe something like this is likely or even possible, wouldn't such machinations be used against programs that are... actually successful??? Moves to end Alabama's football dynasty of the 2010s would make sense. Moves against Duke or UNC men's basketball back during their runs, or UConn women's basketball. That sort of thing. A&M softball doesn't really fit the profile. If there really is a concerted effort to keep the ags down, someone who is self aware would probably start wondering why? It's not because of the success of your programs, so it's more likely that a great number of people with no specific allegiance, just don't like you. And if there is such ubiquitous, institutionalized dislike of Texas A&M, then someone who is self aware would probably start wondering, "what do we do, that makes us so unlikeable?"

Formula 1 2025
Holy cow that was some move by Max. He's just so damn good and it's way more impressive watching him when he's not in the dominant car. He definitely got lucky with the VSC, and sort of unlucky with the actual safety car that tightened up the pack, but I don't think there was any way anyone was going to get around him at the end. A really impressive drive. Was glad to see Ferrari have a nice race. Agree with VAB, they've got to get something going during qualy. Anyway, on to my favorite race of the year, the Beautiful Procession.

Beer 2025: Merry Christmas Everyone, Including the Haters and Losers
Banana and bubble gum, for sure. It's the best hefe in the States and as good as any I ever had in Germany-- which is all of them. And it's not even the best beer Live Oak makes.

I have a rule against blue drinks, and yellow boats, and I'm pretty sure I should have a rule against banana beer. But I guess I'll try anything once. No not that you pervs.

SuperWood stronger than steel
Yeah I don't think anyone would suggest using it to replace normal framing material, that's not a good use case. But it could be used to replace steel beams or even the current version of laminated wood beams, if the price is in line or cheaper.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Texas was always going to have to switch either to the SEC or the B1G. Once the disparity in projected league payouts hit $20M-$30M per year, staying in the B12 was just not a sustainable option.

I like relegation in theory. The biggest problem with relegation in college athletics is: Why would any of the have-not schools opt for a system that puts them further at a disadvantage? And then, why would any of the have schools opt for a system that puts them at risk of becoming a have-not, if the ball bounces funny a few times? Nobody's going to vote for relegation. This is why a full breakaway is more likely than relegation/promotion.- Awful Texas foodways

I don't actually think much of their success will revolve around Reed. He's not great but he could be a superstar and it still wouldn't matter because of that o-line.- Idiot Americans Abroad Thread of Shame

My first trip to Belgium, the first night, I went out to dinner with a crew of about 6 or 7 of us including me and another American test engineer along with the local field service engineers, and ate at a small cafe in downtown Leuven. We were ordering Hoegaarden Verboden Vrucht which is an 8.5% Belgian strong dark ale, and over the course of our 2 hour dinner we each had 6 rounds of them. I had been sitting down the entire time and when we were finally done, I stood up, and it felt like the earth wobbled underneath me. I was lucky to remain standing and as we filed out the front door, past the bar where the bartenders had been sending the beers over to us all evening, one of them looked at us admiringly and said, "You hold your liquor well." I proudly smiled and thanked him. I don't remember the walk back to the hotel but I do remember waking up at the hotel bar with a glass of Scotch in front of me and the bartender gently suggesting I head on up to my room. I agreed and obliged.- Beer 2025: Merry Christmas Everyone, Including the Haters and Losers

Yup we had all those glasses. Didn't save them, we used them daily, and so eventually the inevitable happened and we broke them all over time. I'd love to still have them intact, would make a fine tall Long Island Iced Tea.- Awful Texas foodways

Man it was a lovely weekend all the way around. Saw Ian Moore at Antone's on Friday, crawfish boil at my house on Saturday, and just hanging by the pool in the backyard all afternoon on Sunday. Tremendous weather and even though it's supposed to get Africa-hot this week, I can't complain at all about how mild and pleasant this spring has been so far.- Non-political tariffs thread
Well the good news is, not a lot of 145 percent stuff was ever shipped. As alluded to above, much of it was held back. But still some arrived and will have to be dealt with. Ports will definitely be a mess for a while. - Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
