COVID-19

What’s the recommended time after the vax? 8 months? I’ll go get it if it’s time to get it. But I’m still unclear when that is.

Biden is the 2nd most powerful guy in the country. We’re allowed to make fun of him. And that’s some funny sh*t.

Eventually asymptomatic will mean there’s no time off. We are not fast forwarding to that point for un-good reasons.

Mace? GTFO.

Bannon as a fall guy, perhaps. I’m sure Garland will act with all the principle you’d expect from the esteemed Federalist Society.

Bread/rolls..there’s just no substitute. Struggling to think of anything else that is now ruined for me. Found a brick oven pizza place that has a GF crust that I can’t tell the difference. Biggest gripe is that I can’t find a Chinese place that uses GF soy sauce in their cooking. It’s aggravating, ...

So what happens in 3 years where people keep testing positive, with no symptoms, and are vaccinated. We’re gonna keep doing this?

Is there a long term strategy here or does everyone just get a bunch of time off of work from now until the end of time?

GDT #4 Pens vs Stars

Zucker has a greater potential to be useful in a playoff setting.

I think if he gets any kind of rhythm going, and we can actually make it out of round one where the mayhem settles down, he’s going to be a gamer. This is based on nothing.

Zucker is a team guy IMO. Brassard is a Brassard guy.

I think Zucker’s head is in the clouds, in general. Maybe he thinks his skill is enough of a substitute for focus and discipline.

NC Welp…Do better, then. That was a very consequential state and you opted out.

It’s not principled. I don’t care about that. It’s more apathy and frustration.

In reality there's a double-digit number of D Senators who are c**k blocking things. Manchin and Sinema are just the ones willing to do it on-camera. We have one political party that is devoid of any sort of good-faith governing intentions, and one that's so inept at governing that they're practica...

Yes. What a principled move. To NOT vote in an election where Trump was on the ticket and was a few thousand votes away from destroying the country. Well done.

Do the Bond films count or are they considered ongoing and therefore not reboots?
This is a different category. Because reasons.

There’s no difference whether Schumer or McConnell is leader. Nothing is moving, either way. It’s not even like “leader” is a magical position. It’s just a way to identify the inner-party reporting structure. I think Manchin and Sinema should be called out by name in every possible setting by every ...

I don’t think it looks bad or anything. It’s just not made for me. It’s a way to reboot the franchise for younger audiences. I like the adult actors.

I certainly think he can. I see few red flags that make me doubt his playoff ability. Last year was an incredible outlier. IMO When stakes get higher and intensity ramps up, does he completely stop understanding concepts of time and space. I don’t think there’s any way to know this until it happens...
