  1. Sames to vary quite a bit. My mom had almost no reaction to the second shot beyond a little fatigue; dad was like a two day flu virus. He was down and out.
  2. I've seen Tesla's "Summon" feature scrape the shit of the car while performing the simple act of backing out of a garage, so there's no way I would let Elon Musk anywhere near my brain lol. That said, the exponential growth of various technologies will certainly bring some remarkable--what we might even term miraculous now-- things to pass in the next decade. It would not surprise me in the least if, in 10 or 20 years, one swallows a pill of nano-bots whose task it is to pass through the blood stream and clear away plaques or senescent cells or rejuvenate telemeres. In terms of medical treatment, the advances in the next several decades may be quite stunning and radically improve both length and quality of life.
  3. My comment was meant to be taken in a facetious light. It's fair to have some trepidation; the hasty development timeline for the vaccines concerned me as well, so I guess going forward with it was a matter of how I personally weigh the risks. I've known a few people that died and several more who had pretty severe cases in the last year, so I felt I'd rather take my chances with the vaccine, even if there are longer term risks.
  4. Jab one is in the arm. No horns sprouting or new superpowers yet.
  5. My mother is a teacher, and having to both teach in person and conduct separate remote learning lessons with students who are either in quarantine or staying out of school for other reasons is like having a whole second job. The amount of extra prep work she has to do is unreal. She's working I-banking analyst type hours.
  6. Already starting to see a few early trees leaf out at Yale, particularly those immediately adjacent to buildings that get a lot of reflected light.
  7. I like Koepka too. He's sneaky good.
  8. I slipped a disk watching DeChambeau on the practice tee yesterday. Ridiculous power, weird mechanics.
  9. How appropriate you got yours scheduled on the 10 year anniversary of the greatest tornado outbreak of them all!
  10. Gentlemen, I wish to know your preferred Masters viewing beverage. John Daly? Julep? Pimms cup? Moscow mule? Dark/Stormy? Tom Collins? Rum punch? Inquiring minds want to know.
  11. 2016 still haunts Jordan IMO.
  12. Johnson or Day. DeChambeau will be in the running for a few rounds, but all that power will backfire at some point. Dark horse candidate: Tiger shows up as a fully rebuilt cybernetic organism with titanium spine and legs and whoops them all.
  13. Agree. We survived 100,000 years of ice age with primitive technology. The area we live in now was under a mile of ice 15,000 years ago. I think we'll manage.
  14. Didn't they have a record snowy January as well? That sounds like an awesome combo to me, crushing snowfall followed by straight slingshot into heavy heavy spring.
  15. Two Masters in one six month stretch. Does it ever get better than that?
  16. Sir, this is a Wendy's.
  17. Both sides shipping lots of tanks and artillery in by rail. Definitely a tense situation. On an unrelated note, got my vaccine appointment. One step closer to ending this nightmare.
  18. What is it, would you say, you do here?
  19. I found out today one of our contractors had it recently and went deaf! Never heard of that as a symptom before. Hope his ears come back.
  20. Ha, I remember that summer. I was a lifeguard and the pool was like 68 degrees for most of the season. Rained every day. Nobody swam. Probably easiest money I ever made.
  21. I don't know about the Powerwalls, but I've heard a lot of nightmare stories about Tesla's solar panel operation. Residential and commercial fires, skipped permitting, sub-standard installation, non-existent service etc. Here's a recent article that just came out a few days ago: https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-solar-panel-fires-walmart-amazon-safety-regulator-investigation-foia-2021-3
  22. Do we have any peer-reviewed data on the efficacy of the vaccine against B117 or the P1 variant? I'm concerned they may be different enough to evade antibodies, but I haven't seen anything concrete yet.
