Just decide what you need (or want). Lots of components to choose from. I think you'll enjoy the build.

I’m getting one shortly...taking my daughter to day care.

@lufins-dad said in Nothing worse than seeing your kid sick...: @george-k He started feeling better almost exactly 24 hours after symptoms set in. He is planning on reaching out to the College and asking if one shot combined with his prior case Glad to hear he's feeling better already. If he was under the weather for only a day or two, maybe he'll be fine for a second round. I'm curious what he will hear from the college.

Clearly not a man comfortable with retirement.

@taiwan_girl said in Masks? Lockdowns? Did it Matter?: @jolly said in Masks? Lockdowns? Did it Matter?: Did it matter? For most people, no. I think more important factors were population density, testing availibility and access to medical care. I would add to that: compliance timing (in that I mean when things happened. I believe that NY was hit quite early (for whatever reason), so by the time any restrictions were in place, it was already too late). We're Americans. It is our God-given right not to comply.

It always struck me that F. Lee Bailey's best client was F. Lee Bailey.

@doctor-phibes said in Maybe a little too diverse....?: @horace said in Maybe a little too diverse....?: @doctor-phibes said in Maybe a little too diverse....?: @horace said in Maybe a little too diverse....?: So both sides are bad, you say. Hm. There is a long history of anti-Semitism on the right. And now, the left is also doing it. To claim otherwise would be foolish. Thank you for that insight. You stated something that was blindingly obvious. I replied with something equally blindingly obvious. I think we're pretty much equal. I don't actually believe the left is anti-Semitic in general. But when viewed through their favorite lens, where all ideas are squinted at until bigotry is revealed, they're anti-Semitic.

This entire exercise is one of risk management. For some of us, the numbers are 1% vs .00005%. That's a huge difference. For others, the numbers might be .0003% vs .00005%. For teenagers, the numbers might be even lower.

Skimmed through it. This guys skills compared to my skills are sorta like Andras Schiff compared to my skills. I'm going to pour myself some more (cheap) Scotch.

@doctor-phibes said in Engineered: @loki said in Engineered: I challenge any human being to survive all their voice, text and email scrutiny. It is a simple task if you have the data to undermine ANYONE. - by cherry picking one sentence. We are all hypocrites. This is just classic opposition research. Making Fauci the boogeyman is hilarious. Yes, it's ridiculous. If anybody's ever been involved in a lawsuit, you'll know what an awful experience it is. You're told to leave all of your old emails untouched, and they're made available to lawyers, to do with as they will. Once it's happened, you think about those funny little emails that everybody sends and receives very differently. This! I was deposed once. It was hilarious. An email was slid across the table and the lawyer said well comment on this. I couldn’t remember the email. I said this is four years old and I literally deal with hundreds of emails a day and that I could provide many other emails that would provide context and my real point of view. They promptly dropped that line of questioning.

40 years ago I went to the movie theatre at least twice per month Now the schedule is more like about once per year covid doesn't make much difference

@mik said in Operation Frantic: What a cluster. A great idea crushed by a feckless 'ally'. But when you look at the sheer number of aircraft the US was able to supply you get a little better view of how US manufacturing contributed to victory. The Studebaker: https://www.rbth.com/history/333156-how-us-studebaker-became-soviet 152,000 of them.

@xenon said in The first bubble popping?: Inventory is super tight. The bubble could be popping, but it may also be a supply issue. Selling a house may be pleasant - but if you need to buy one in the same region, that'll be unpleasant. I’ve lived through several economic cycles. Twice you could barely give a house away. Now people will jump on anything… Both scenarios were driven by unique conditions that are unsustainable in the long run. I have no idea when the housing market will cool but I’d bet it happens in 2021.
