The IT folks that I have talked with say that it is way too soon for an iPad. An iPhone? That would be about right, according to them.

I'm a little surprised that, where you live, there are circles that are not crop circles, but whatever. Enjoy the crop/traffic circles. Where you live, there are real traffic circles.

Dude, no one who is so unfortunate is able to drive, or perhaps even walk in a city alone.

I have an iPad Air that is less than six years old. Battery lasts about 20 minutes. It goes from 100, to 99, to 98, to off. It recharges to 100 in five minutes or less. No one can explain this phenomenon to me.

Probably because they didn't have a quarter-million-person maskless motorcycle rally in Manitoba.

There are some, umm, curious trades pending. Does every league member have the opportunity to vote or are SDS and I seeing those options because we are (nominally) commissioners?

Do you ever use them to store steaks?

Very interesting--thanks.

Boycotting and tracking? People have been doing it forever. Undermining the democratic process? No, that's special these last five years.

There's not going to be enough doses for people who want it in January. Don't even worry about it.

Oh, that's not at all what I thought you were getting at. I have no problems with most of this; the JRubin person is over the top though. I thought you meant violence, not boycotting or tracking what people are doing to undermine the democratic process. Thanks for clarifying.

My, how things change.

Can they just protect 10 (3D, 7F) and not protect a goalie? I suppose there isn't a roster benefit to that, but there might be a cap benefit.

Is there any reward for not protecting a goalie? I.e., would they be able to protect an extra forward or something? It troubles me that I knew the answer to this last time...

Just have one session (morning or afternoon) per week devoted to it, like they do for L/T. Maybe they don't do that anymore? It's been a long time since I was in a town court. But the idea of Mask Court is fun, too. Picture Doug Llewellyn standing outside...

They'll be fine.

It's really not. Start with the violation. Then, when you find out that the person in question is organizing anti-mask rallies, thereby indicating that it was willful and not a mistake, it's pretty easy to charge them with the misdemeanor and let the judge sort it out. Or when the person starts arguing about my right not to wear a mask, etc. That's how I saw it. My edit was just a hair too late.

Are these credible?

Frankly, I'd like to see the Legislature make it a misdemeanor for the willful refusal to wear a mask.

That's not the road you were headed down with the comment I responded to, and I think we both know that. The discussion is about a preference for punishing the individual over having the whole society suffer; it isn't about who makes a mistake.

I'd rather have one idiot who refuses to wear a mask be punished by being fined $50K than have the entire society suffer by having another shutdown---and it's not just bars and restaurants, either.

Miami of Ohio just pulled in about an hour ago. For those who consider the MAC to be college football, well, one team will be tired tomorrow.

It depends heavily on who is "they" in certain circumstances, and I doubt it can be forced upon everyone. On students? Maybe. Even institutions of higher learning in NYS require certain innoculation records. But again, who is "they"?

3. The vaccine has to be stored at -70C and no one has solved that logistical problem yet; 4. They're only going to be able to provide 50 million doses by the end of the year, which sounds like a lot, but really isn't, since we need ~8 billion.

I think there may be one of each? Not sure. I think they are named "Sabrespace blue" and "Sabrespace gold" so if you search the forums for those phrases, you might get some more information. I think @PASabreFan is pretty active in them and he might have more info.
