Nope never heard of it. Separate but equal, brown v board of Ed…try patronizing someone else. Legal precedent can be overturned yes, is it likely to be overturned…almost certainly not. But maybe you’re right, conservative lawyers have always had a problem with states rights— right?

That’s fine that you don’t think so and maybe you’ll be right. But it is very clear cut from a legal perspective. It doesn’t get anymore clear cut tbh. People can and will appeal to the SC but I don’t even know that they would take the case given that the legal precedent has been set…since 1905.

I think we both know that will immediately follow the full authorization in a couple of weeks. The Indiana S.C. ruled against students saying vaccine requirements were unconstitutional to attend college for context. I really don’t care either way- just saying the constitution is not on the side of the unvaccinated. America was never free (gasp).

I almost didn’t take the bait but couldn’t resist. What USA do you speak of- it’s certainly not the country in which you currently live. Maybe brush up on a few things other than conspiracy theories, like Massachusetts case law for instance— via the Indiana Court of Appeals:

So went with the Linksys AX3200 and then said f-it and got the Motorola MB8611 modem to go with it...goodbye Comcast hardware. Finally. Arrives Saturday- can't wait.

Thanks- will do this immediately...running a lot of data being at home and it's showing.

I moved to YouTubeTV which was great then the price went up and they lost NESN... so not as good of a deal. But even cutting the cord- I still pay ComCast for their internet and their router- which I need to just buy one- any one got any good recommendations? I digress... a TV streaming option is cheaper by far with the same features. I would recommend it.

Just getting caught up and man that CDC internal memo is a tough read. I thought we’d have bought some time before a variant has breakthrough capabilities but Delta seems very close and we’re letting it bounce around a partially vaccinated population. (for various reasons) More convinced than ever we end up back at square one sooner rather than later.

I know it’s only Covid here but — that tornado warned cell within that derecho in Wisconsin is moving right towards Oshkosh- where there’s like 25k people sleeping in trailers and their planes for the air show. So big yikes there.

Lol...I'm just saying, I assume some people will go bananas over this. But ya- I would think it'll be vague and toothless.

We should prob fight a civil war over masks: states rights etc. let's do it.

Rumor on my street: Fauci/ CDC mask mandate at 3pm...rumor of a rumor. but mayyybbeee?

She gone boys, this is what transitory looks like:

I’d put it in right on top of that little lip, then close the window and cut a piece of wood to put between the top of the now half open window and the top of the interior window casing, so you can’t move the window up or down. It sits funny (downward slope) but it won’t go anywhere. I had a similar issue.

For those asking…Yes, a local official in Jackson, Mississippi misstating numbers, and then correcting the record 8 hours later is evidence of a vast conspiracy propagated by the highest authorities within the U.S. government.

I have an in-ground, and admittedly know nothing about them. do I need to pump it out if it is above the filter? i mean it is high but never really cared...or thought about it before

I'm not saying anything about who is or isn't vaccinated. It's just mind blowing to me that it falls along party affiliations- just an observation. I don't wish anyone to get sick and die. Again just commenting on how deeply held those beliefs seem to be- that they won't change unless they become personally impacted. Like everything else these days it's all very tribal. It's just interesting- that is all.

The ideological lines seem to have already been drawn. The below chart always blows my mind, and I've seen it even more granular on a county and congressional district level. The story doesn't change. Chickens will come home to roost. I'm not sure the unvaxxed will rethink it until they actually get sick.

Strong agree- the government just issued a statement which basically read: not so fast you greasy scumbags. Either way, crap like this doesn’t do much to inspire the vaccine hesitant. Damage= done.

Kind of disagree semantically here. IMO, it’s much more about overwhelming the health system rather than deaths. I.e. can you get a hospital bed if you need one? Not necessarily if x number of people die. Once (IF) the system itself starts collapsing we will quickly reintroduce restrictions. The career risk for the political class becomes untenable at that point regardless of party affiliation. Test case might be Missouri in a week or two- the healthcare system is getting close to a tipping point there as I type.

Goldman released a note last night on the global economic impacts. They aren't great. Rolling restrictions, continued supply chain disruptions etc...not a surprise to anyone paying attention. But that's what's generating today's headlines. Letting this thing run rampant within a partially vaccinated population is just the sort of thing I would do if I wanted it to gain resistance to the vaccines currently deployed. It is literally a matter of time imo.

Ya same. 2 yr old had it for like 24 hrs but it's hitting the 4 yr old harder. I am obviously paranoid it's not just a cold but don't want to traumatize the kid either with a nasal swab. Not sure how knowing it was COVID would change anything anyways. Everyone I talk to says there is a nasty cold going around. We normalize.

Am I late to the game on the NWS doing away with point and click forecasts? Now I get a forecast for "Central Middlesex County". Have I just not been paying attention, or is this new?

Trying to get caught up….so those that complained about mask mandates due to “infringement” on their personal freedom, are now complaining about business owners exercising their own personal freedoms and requiring masks to enter their stores? Ok ya- now I’m up to speed.

Today is the anniversary of Operation Red Wings which led to Michael Murphy and his team’s death- documented in Lone Survivor. I would highly recommend that book to anyone looking for some summer reading. Sad day for that community.
