Weave

It was an incredibly discouraging event to see. If you haven't seen it, you're better off. I've lost faith in the humanity present in this country. Too many people that just want to make sure things burn.

Welcome to my world.

I get you ? So, I occupy this weird space where, I'm a gun guy, but I hate the gun culture and the automatic far right agenda that goes with it. I mention this because of the political implications of mask wearing. I was in a gun store today. Not a single person, employee or customer, was wearing a mask. And they looked at me like I had 3 heads when I walked in with a mask. I considered leaving and taking my business elsewhere, but let's face it, in that line of business I wasn't going to find another location that would be in compliance with the mask requirements. WTF people. It's a health related issue, not a political one.

The most recent Ken and Karen incident leads me to believe this will only get worse. That is now two very public (and uncontested) incidents with armed white people brazenly challenging authority and folks that disagree with them. I don’t think a change of President will slow down that ball that has started rolling. I don’t think this ends well.

He lost me after justifying two rookie centers in the lineup.

Dows anyone else see this picture and think Mr. Rogers, or is it just me?

Not enough hotel space for teams and lague staff.

And its only happened a handful of times in the modern era, and after each instance the rules were tweaked to further disincentivize it. If it takes a #8 team getting the 1st overall pick to end tanking I’m all for it.

It’s too bad @biodorkisn’t active on this site any more. Would be interesting to hear from additional voices with medical research experience. Claude adds an interesting perspective to the conversation.

Can you translate this in English?

Got it.

Well, that went sideways. If I understand Claude correctly, all he is saying is, the data re: masks is still being collected and evaluated so no firm conclusions should be made, BUT based on what has been observed so far, wearing masks appears to make sense as a reasonable deterrent to virus transfer in casual contact situations. Or thats what I want Claude to be saying. Either one.

Don't know where this should go so I am putting it here. Sabrespace whipping boy with an interesting tweet this evening.

As of it hasn’t been laid out plainly enough times....

If accurate, That’s a trait will need to be relearned. NHL goalies are too good and too big for a player to succeed consistently outside of the danger areas.

Goya is what I’ve been using since our latino grocery store closed.

I would have to think that more time in an enclosed space moves the bar closer to the masked person regardless of distance. Thinking relatively stagnant airmass and the super spreader groups like that Seattle choir team.

Sour cream and the adobo from a can/jar of chipotles in adobo make a great dip or sandwich smear.

How long dis it take to get your results?

If it feels good, do it. Oh, wait.... wrong advice columnist.

As an American it boggles my mind as well. But I feel like this has been decades in coming, and isn't a recent change.

https://apple.news/AL66K9GuUS8uMYj_98E9d9w Texas Medical Center hospitals have stopped reporting key metrics showing the stress rising numbers of COVID-19 patients are placing on their facilities, undermining data that policy makers and the public have relied upon during the pandemic to gauge the spread of the coronavirus. The change came one day after the hospitals reported their base intensive care capacity had hit 100 percent for the first time during the pandemic, with projections showing the institutions — which together comprise the world’s largest medical complex — were on pace to exceed their “unsustainable surge capacity” by July 6. It also followed discussions between Gov. Greg Abbott and hospital executives in which the governor expressed displeasure with negative headlines about ICU capacity, sources familiar with the talks said.

We don’t need a messiah. We need a 2c. If 8OA can be used to get us a 2C then the asset was used wisely. Frankly, the most we can realistically expect from an 8OA is that it eventually develops into something worth the equivalent of a good 2C. If we can get that now we win based on time value of an asset.

What are the odds that the folks lambasting Cuomo for a bad decision in retrospect also feel about Covid that “its most old folks dying anyway” and conveniently leave that part out?
