Since Texas and the GOP are so down on the Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J vaccines, can we start a GoFundMe to bring in doses of SinoVac and Sputnik V for them?  I mean, free market and all that jazz, right?

I too had to re-read that sentence a couple times to let it sink in. It’s like a head-on collision between the Denial train and the Delusional bus.

I’ll bet my left nut it’s only that high because of the blueish-purple urban counties containing Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, etc. Trailer park/cattle ranch Texas still doesn’t understand washing your hands after taking a dump yet.

The hydrophobic effect and the compression will break down over time, and just putting them on or taking them off too roughly will probably break down the performance after several uses. Ya also gotta gently hand-wash and hang to dry without any heat, and resist the urge to wring them out, or you start messing up the…

There’s “tight” and then there’s optimized supportive compression...Speedo, and a handful of other manufacturers, have really pushed the envelope of materials science to compress in a performance enhancing way, and deliver a hydrophobic top layer. I’d be curious to see the stats on competitive swimmers also, but know…

So was the “Rejected” name already taken, or just too spot-on?

Screw participation. Japan should have insisted they can’t enter the country without proof of vaccination...Olympics or no, they’re not exactly in a position to be welcoming more COVID into the country than absolutely necessary. Incidentally, I read an article that said Kendricks is military, and U.S. military personne…

Any benefit to the “outdoor” venue is pretty much lost when you consider how they handle crowd control, ticketing, vendor queues, etc. it’s already a money grab to pack the park beyond reasonable capacity, so it shouldn’t have shocked anybody that they made a provision for unvaccinated people. We’ll also probably…

Without going full-on OCD, or debilitating hypochondria, what is so damn hard about people being cleaner and keeping their distance?

Yes, super-saturated is key, otherwise a recipe would just call for stirring in granulated or confectioner’s sugar. You also have to store this sugar water in the fridge, and should use it soon, because it’ll start growing bacteria pretty quickly. A properly made simple syrup, otoh, is shelf-stable.

We don’t need “complete data” on police shootings from 30 or 40 years ago to know police shootings are up (though it would be nice to have). Part of this problem is the switch to military style weapons, which hit most police forces at some point in the late 1980s to mid 1990s. Your average cop used to carry a Smith &…

We don’t n

Wasn’t there also a very recent TikTok trend of very complicated expensive drink customizations? Like the $20 drink with a CVS-length receipt attached?

Plus SBUX has a pretty generous frequent flyer program.

Hey Dawn, maybe check out Fruitful Yield or Woodman’s - they’ve always been helpful tracking down specialty items, specific sizes/varieties/flavors.  Co-op and independent grocers usually have much smaller order minimums from their suppliers.

It sounds woo-woo, but this is absolutely real. The requirements of organic certification mean that the certified oats cannot be harvested, processed, stored, transported in such a way that they can become cross-contaminated with other grains, and they’re audited and batch tested to confirm this...organic and gluten…

One good thing about Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods Market is that many special diet items are available on Amazon Fresh, either as the original brand, or as the WFM 365 house brand now, and the footprint is basically Amazon’s delivery range as opposed to having a Whole Foods nearby. The other place I’d recommend…

I’m a Chicagoan, my grandfather was a milkman and I’ve worked on many dairy clients’ campaigns over the years - here in the midwest especially, dairy is in everything and it’s big business. It makes sense too, because we’re mammals, healthy infants drink mother’s milk, there are substances in dairy we’re hardwired to…

Disney will pursue a settlement, even if the legal team thinks they’ve got a fair chance in court. They stand to lose alot by disclosing specifics of the streaming model in court filings. If you thought regular movie studio budgets were accounting gymnastics and sorcery before streaming, the streaming side laid bare…

Yeah, sure, subpoena him, and make sure to have some questions and cross exam ready to go, so he doesn’t get to ramble and grandstand. But MEANWHILE, that little admission should be more than enough probable cause for the FBI to do a deep dive into his email, social media, and phone records from that week, and find…
