Just give us some rain and we're stoked

Ultra Rich™ Ending well since 1789

If someone had covid and doesn't want to get the shot, they appear to have science backing their position. How folks deal with peer pressure is on them. What's troubling are the number of politicians and govt health agencies that will quote studies pointing to diminished antibody counts compared with the vaccine, but seem blissfully unaware of studies in the same publications showing why that was not really an appropriate metric to begin with. It's like using tree ring temperature data when you had a well calibrated weather station in the same woodlot.

Study in Nature showing that even mild Covid cases produce a long term immune response. Further reiterating that antibody counts in blood are not a good proxy for effective immunity. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03647-4

this is insane. Has to be a little scary for those guys pushing through the crowd.

Phil out of the bunker, wow

Going forward be proactive with the toe... as soon as you notice it getting painful or red, give it a soak with water as hot as you can stand and epsom salts. If it's really bad get some bentonite clay, add a few drops of ... (take your pick)... make a poultice around the infected area and wrap overnight with gauze to hold it in as best as possible. I've dealt with it many times, which I attribute to nail bed damage from skiing and a few unrelated accidents. But as long as you catch it early the above really works I promise.

I was pondering this... Normal supply and demand would certainly suggest you're right... but given that there's no inherent value, if the price excluded mass participation and folks just moved on to other more accessible alternatives, the currency could simply collapse. This can be said about all currencies of course... Inflation, for all it's evils, keeps people in the game.

Don't eat the rotten shark.

The mountain lion would have to be holding 2 forms of government ID or they'll say it was a bobcat

Let me know when we get UFO footage in Technicolor.

Not surveyed, but FWD is recognizing 3 more tornadoes in Ellis Co and another in Bell Co based on video and radar. So the total from yesterday is 6. Not bad for a day with primarily a heavy rain risk.

Survey confirmed 2 tornadoes in Dallas Co yesterday, EF0/75mph and an EF1/90mph.

Crazy flooding going on Love Field -> N Dallas -> Plano

Pretty good chance this clarification means masks back on at the gym tomorrow. Kind of wish the CDC announced yesterday for leg day instead.

I heard yesterday that at least one was symptomatic. The odds that they'd all test positive based on standard PCR false positive rates are tremendously small. And it wouldn't surprise me if they tested again to rule out some kind of contamination. But that hasn't been confirmed. Maybe they were all exposed with a fair amount of viral load that otherwise wouldn't have infected them? In a way it could wind up being an advertisement for vaccines (aside from that one guy) but the question is can they transmit? Maybe put the rest of the team in a sauna with them and do an experiment for the good of humanity?

Gets easier with age

We maskless at the gym right now. Finally

How bout that super strain that's infected all your vaccinated staff I say we quarantine the entire team, can't be too careful

Certainly no crypto expert but I think participating in an effectively mercantilist ecomony holds appeal for some. The incremental difficulty with mining bitcoins puts a limit on the number of coins that can be in existence, essentially finite for all practical purposes. And for obvious reasons it pays to be in early when the coins are easier to come by. The backdrop of whirring printing presses, huge national debt, and TBTF stokes it IMO.

This calls for some stimmy!!

I wonder if this mode of operations should reduce fears or increase them

I don't think the Stop and Shop robot even works for its simple task. I'm always hearing 'cleanup needed on aisle ..." but I can't recall seeing any actual spills in forever. It's basically a giant, lazy Roomba. Folks should remember this when they're saying robots replacing human workers is imminent.

They have one of those cashier-less markets at Dallas Love Field now. The employee is still required to ease the confused customers.
