I suck at the internets... but it shows all Covid deaths compared to nursing home Covid deaths.

That’s truly incredible.

Can’t wait for a new Deep Space Field picture with the jwst. The Hubble shot has been my phone and desktop background for years and years. It’s the most important photo ever taken IMO. The jwst version will be even cooler. Yeah. Well my background is the Cubs celebrating 2016 but admittedly that's ...

I'm more excited for the James Webb Space Telescope later this year i mean, juno is great and all that, but ever since cassini died, this has been the thing. every time an update on it pops up into my google news feed, i'm like "they better not have hurt our baby!" (unless it's delayed YE...

.......and touch down successful.

anyway that's not even what i came here to post about nasa's new mars rover drops tomorrow https://www.space.com/perseverance-mars-rover-ready-for-landing I was reading it has a drone on it, attached to its belly. because the atmosphere on Mars is so thin, it had 4' rotors. It sounds like a mosquit...

Hell with it, she's gone now no more reason to hide those....feelings....you have.

LOL. The guy in the upper right maintains a straight face, I have no idea how.

This made me think of the killing spree that Bill Barr went on in the final months of the Trump regime, executing prisoners at an urgent pace (and Catholic bishops found him worthy of an award, SMFH). And it makes me ill. https://twitter.com/davidminpdx/status/1359315988798267394 Yet, Leonard Pelti...

Also, Brady is getting all the headlines, but man, the TB defense just destroyed KC's offensive line That was amazing to see. But also reinforces that the Bears are not a QB away from contending. Consistent pass rush is how you shut someone like Mahomes down in a big game. How many times have we se...

Why not the Bears? Playoff team even with stinky QB play much of the year, mediocre the rest of the time. Seems like Brady would be exactly what the team is lacking.

That throw was inhuman but alas, still not enough.

What is happening

Ok, so the Chiefs can’t be doing things THAT differently. Is this just because you can’t do it against Brady? The first one I didn’t mind. The second one was inexplicable. 3rd and 10? Sure. Call it there. But not 3rd and 2. They’re totally in #32’s head. Chiefs can still come back but wow I didn’t ...

This is unreal. Where are the real Chiefs?

I *think* they're just trying to scare people into staying compliant. We've got a *long* way to go to come down from the highs, and loose behavior could reverse things pretty fast. It would be ideal if people stayed hunkered down for another month or two, and an accurate headline of "holy jeez...

None that I know of. What I've heard is that we are basically flying blind because we don't really test for variants. At least not up until now.

Derwood wrote:Yep, despite Kyle's optimism (huh?) about the downward trend of recent numbers, every headline is "the worst is yet to come!!!"

Hope they are wrong though. And they could be, if we ramp up vaccine administration quickly and people obey the #@$@#{&*U rules.

A couple of the more public experts like Osterholm and Gottilieb were making the rounds today really pushing a spring fourth wave due to variants. I can’t tell if they’re seeing something I’m not or if they’re just trying to make sure we don’t lose compliance too fast as things improve. I'd bet hea...

I read a couple interesting things about the J&J vaccine. First, it’s a one shot vaccine....for now. They are also doing a 2 shot trial that might boost immunity further. Also, J&J’s test was done against a later population than Moderna and Pfizer. It was a sicker population with a more comp...

The error bars on the South African study for the Novavax vaccine are gigantic. They're reporting it as 50% or whatever, but the confidence interval is like 12-80 Yeah, reading more up on the info we got at work eased a ton of my fears. It's tough to really read into it much because it's mostly dat...

When they say limited, they mean 1 share. And 0 shares if you already own the stock. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/29/robinhood-is-still-severely-limiting-trading-gamestop-holders-can-only-buy-one-additional-share.html "Robinhood customers can only buy one share and up to five options contracts ...

Why not? Seems like it to me. A nascar race is guaranteed to keep going until the first person crosses the finish line (unless somebody dies I guess), a stock isn't guaranteed to keep going up just because it's popular. Its probably more like some obscure delay tactic being used in a football game ...
