@loki said in About those GPA requirements...: It’s still a long way from becoming law not that a big fight isn’t brewing. Manchin alone can sink it. I’m not sure if we will ever know if Georgia could have been won with a more coherent GOP strategy for the run offs. Well, you'll get your chance in about 18 months...

@copper said in Confirmed?: I assume the guys with the guns are cnn employees. Yeah, the AP guys are in balaclavas.

Eric Adams is the apparent winner after all.

Yup, new data shows Pfizer and Moderna not as effective against the delta variant but so far maintains effectiveness against hospitalizations and deaths. No wonder healthcare folks are starting to shit themselves. I suspect the booster shot will help, or more likely it’s a reasonable and informed hypothesis.

@axtremus said in Unsealed: Good, unseal them all. Works for me.

@jon-nyc said in My crew is sick.: Something to be said for keeping my mask on in public. Well, besides the ugly person aspect, of course....

Much needed rain over night. Still cloudy with showers throughout the day. Since the system is moving in from the NW, thankfully, there is no lightning activity.

I remember my mom complaining about it decades ago when cans of coffee were no longer a pound.

Next week - The Waldstein Sonata

We can them. 38 peaches tend to make 7 jars or thereabouts. Pears and figs will be ripe soon, and they make up the majority of the canned fruit we put up.

@lufins-dad said in Dumbos: @jolly said in Dumbos: Oh, you can be an idiot and play ball. Pretty well, if you have innate athletic ability. But the guys who make it to the pros, even though they may not be rocket scientists, cannot be brain dead. All they know may be football, but it's going to be in-depth knowledge, at least everything pertaining to their position. There are plenty of QB’s that make it to the pros but are dumb as stumps. A few get by on their athletic prowess for a year or two, but the game catches up to them. To me, the bigger problem is the smart player that needs a couple years to mature as a backup, but the fan base loses interest if it’s not immediate… Bud Dupree is a perfect example. So is Mason Rudolph… Remember Dupree well. A lot of the Saints fans really wanted him in that draft. Instead, we got Stephone Anthony. Now, Anthony is a great example of a player with great physical talent, but lack of intelligence. He simply cannot read offensive formations fast enough to use his keys, especially with motion invokved.

All of his women sound like they have adam's apples.

I have to wonder (and it's not clear from the site) as to whether those shoes looked like that when he tried to board, or after the FBI "investigated" them.

He may need it...
