NUance

@commando that wasn't really called for. Nuance seems to have genuine questions and is brave enough to ask them in a public forum. Some people haven't followed this as close as others, and may not understand it as well as you do. Being a jerk doesn't really encourage them to learn more.

As to your hospice death @NUance, if she had COVID-19 odds are it accelerated her condition and was at least partially responsible for her death. I would trust the doctor's diagnosis (that's what they trained for). There are a number of symptoms and complications related to COVOD-19, one of which is cardiac issues as was noted before. 

If you're a hemophiliac who is shot and bleeds-out did you die from hemophilia or a gunshot wound?

thing is....it's the entire right wing that is swinging towards saying that the y are overcounted  my question is  if they are actually overcounted...what is causing all the extra deaths?

Then ask that question and don't be condescending about it. It's not that hard.

Good luck!

Next person to comment is dumb

I'm far less concerned about the testing at this point than I am with actually treating it.  Case numbers will only go up, treating it and lowering the death toll stat is what I'm worried about.  And people are stepping up to help manufacture equipment and find treatments and get that moving.

@Redux If you're pinning your hopes on treatments being found in a timely manner, well, good luck with that...

Obviously not.  The 18 month pipe dream is not happening either.  But I'd feel kuch much better hearing updates on that front instead of everyone complaining about test numbers being factual or unfactual.

I like to see hooters. Not hear them.

I dislike Taco Bell.

It's from a movie, foo'

Bernie?

Bernie, please

Why do so many idiots think he would be good for the U.S. economy? The economy is GREAT for the rich, which is what he is. He has no more idea how to improve the economy for the middle class than I have, and possibly less.

I feel regret for not including A League of Their Own on my list. I only own like five DVDs and that's one of them.

@Xmas32 great call on Vision Quest. Completely forgot about that movie.

For me a sports movie (or any movie for that matter) is only as good as its music score. My top two would be 

Hoosiers and The Natural. I also liked  Chariots of Fire.  

I also think that it depends on the sport you like. Breaking Away is one of the best sports movies for me because I love cycling.  

Rocky was ok but they killed it by making so many sequels. Sandlot is also a nostalgic favorite. I also have to give a nod to 

The Pride of the Yankees w/Gary Cooper. Incredible classic. 

Miracle was very good but when you’ve experienced the real thing a movie has a hard time measuring up although the coach’s real life wife said Kurt Russell did such a great job playing her husband it was like having her husband there again. 

They are reairing it on ESPNU Tuesday at 4pm

4 is eastern I think

Yeah, everything they announce is eastern.

It's so hot that hot water now comes out of both taps.

It's so hot you discover it really only takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.

When I moved to AZ, my welcome basket included two oven mits to use as driving gloves.

6-6 isn't satisfying but it's acceptable. Especially if we win the bowl game.

That said I think we'll go 7-5 or 8-4.

6-6 would get us to a bowl game. I'd be happy with that. That was the bare minimum I wanted last year though...

@ZRod where do you live at, if you don't mind me asking? At least in Lincoln/Omaha, I haven't heard anything about antibody tests being available. Would take one in a heartbeat if offered... 

But hey, the state is open for business next week!  

@Atbone95 Detroit metro.

Some of the hospital systems here are offering them to employees to further their research. It's a catch 22 though because they've treated their employees pretty s#!tty at some hospitals. Makes you wonder; do you really want to make them look good, and could they use it against you to make you work a positive floor or overtime.

My mother-in-law is a nurse in Denver and she had an antibody test as has most (all?) of the staff at her hospital.

Death and Taxes.

Man, you got a joint? ...Be a lot cooler if you did

You both killed it. I hope you're happy.

Hell no to that lol. I work with a bunch of engineers, I need something to keep myself up, and I don't drink coffee lol. More water will be in my future since I just opened up a gym membership and need to get back to where I was before I got in a committed relationship 5 years ago

Just knocked back no. 7. How could anyone do this everyday? And WHY is it harder to drink 7 waters than 7 beers???

Just for the record I finished my 8th pint of water. Started over again the next day and it's a lot easier. I've already got four down. And it's only 10:00 am.

Well, if "get" encapsulates the entire "run to the grocery store and purchase x loaves of bread" action, then the statements would execute in sequence and he'd make 3 trips and get 3 loaves.

If each statement is merely specifying the quantity of the getting, the latter two statements are redundant since he will get one loaf of bread in all circumstances.

Phrased this way, though, it sounds a lot more like the former than the original joke. But that...

I'm pretty sure we all sleep on the couch quite often. Because she just wanted BREAD AND EGGS! LOL

I feel like I'm in an episode of the Big Bang Theory...........and Penny is nowhere to be found.

Scary as it is, the last 8 to 12 years has caused people to be anti anything political so I suspect since people are tired of being lied too, they will go the route of someone who least resembles a politician.

I think Takoda has it figured out. I can't personally get behind Trump but I sure can see why some people have chosen to go with him as their misguided way of expressing displeasure with the way things are. I don't think that equates to people thinking he would be a good President. At least I hope nobody really feels he would be good.

Do looks matter? Trump visually turns my stomach but according to insidewith.com I agree with 92%of trump's stances. Of course that a moving target.

"I have a canker sore on my lip, and I keep pokin' at it with my tongue, but that's only makin' it worse!"

The noid! Oh man...those commercials!

A bit late to the game, but let's do a thought experiment.

Let's say Ernie Chambers hauls off and clocks a journalist tomorrow for asking why he's a thug. Is it OK then? If it was a national politician, do you think Republicans would have a problem with it?

@Comfortably Numb oh trust me. There's no reasoning with him. That's not the only thing he believes that is strange. Lots of conspiracies with this one. And I'd say his parents are the ones not educating him, not me. I tend to ignore him and not entertain his ramblings. 

I'm a total pretend flatearther. My plan is to continue to tell people about how the earth is flat until they get so pissed off they pay to send me to space and I'll be all like "WEEEEEE!!!!!! j/k! I just wanted to get to space! Suckers!"

So far it's not working. 

^^I think that's how it is.  Most Flat Earthers don't really believe that tripe.  They're just internet people who enjoy trolling others.  But I do think there is a small minority of FE'ers who really do believe the earth is flat.  I'l like to talk to one.  But they're hard to find.  

Must be a little sand in his panties.

You didn't prove anything wrong. I'm sure you think you did because you just aren't getting it. I don't mind people who are of the opinion that Riley or Banker or whoever/whatever sucks. Hell I probably agree with most of them. I just don't want to see it 100 times in every frikken topic. If you can't understand that, it's your cognitive function that is impaired. It's got nothing at all to do with agreeing with me as you keep wrongly claiming.

I put you on ignore because it is a waste of effort trying to get you to understand simple concepts like this. When 8 have no respect for what a person has to offer and it is obvious they can't keep up with the discussion....ignore list it is.

I talked to the folks at AT&T last night.  (No Apple store in my tiny hometown.  lol).  They said I could take an iPad Pro 10.5" out for a 14 day trial.  (Could return it if I want w/i the 14 days.)  The iPad hardware would come at a steep discount if I buy it from the AT&T store--so long as I sign my firstborn away with a couple year AT&T contract.  (I already use AT&T anyway.)  

Re-Surface. We were not happy about giving up our Dell laptops because they were a solid piece of equipment. The Surface Pro was so flimsy.  We couldn’t transfer the data from the Dell to the Surface very easily and when you took the keyboard off and just used the Pad-nightmare.   I will confess that there was emotion present and I’ve never been a Microsoft fan having always used Apple products except for very early on when we used Atari. 

You have to buy what fits your computer style and usage. If you are a Microsoft user then you will love Surface Pro. However, I’m glad you get to try the iPad. 

I've flip-flopped on this thing a couple times now.  The iPad can handle a lot of basic work stuff; MS Word, Excel, etc.  But iPad doesn't have a couple of programs that I use a lot.  Like Outlook (email) and Visio.  I could replace Outlook by simply getting used to a new email application.  No big deal.  But I have dozens, maybe hundreds of Visio files that I've drawn and sometimes need to edit.  That would more of a hassle.  OTOH, the iPad tablet capabilities with the pen and all would be useful and sorta cool.   So there's that.  

CARDS WIN!! CARDS WIN!!CARDS WIN!!CARDS WIN!!CARDS WIN!!CARDS WIN!!CARDS WIN!!

It's drinkin time. The good kinda drinkin!!

Absolutely unreal! One more baby!!

Didn't TO say there wasn't really any red flags with him during he recruitment?

the question is- would you still want him in Lincoln if he completely straightened his life around but failed as a football player? Life,even troubled lives, are about so much more than football or the University.

That's tough. On the one hand you know that the program has the chance to change someone's life for the better. On the other I'd rather see the opportunity awarded to someone who had earned it more. At least don't make football ability part of the consideration.

NUance, you should be able to get custom fit irons for less than $1,000. Most golf stores will do club fittings if you buy a full irons set.

Anyone interested in a good laugh, check out Mizuno Golf's troll job on Twitter. Honestly, their irons are the best out there, play a set myself, and if they actually cared/put forth a ton of $$$ on advertisement they'd be the #1 irons.

@CoHusk: Yeah, yeah I've been fit by the local pro. And it probly is a lot less expensive now than 20 years ago. I'm talking about the club fitting like MacGregor did in their heyday. The Tin Cup clubs!

Jessica.  You missed the  whirlwind  named Jessica.  

NUance!  Good to see you!

Beautiful call.

Even if a call like that had helped out Nebraska I'd be able to acknowledge it's a bad call.  I think most Husker fans could.  Or I hope so anyway. 

@NUance IMO, I can’t believe they overturned it. I thought for sure it would’ve stayed with the call on the field.

So, from a marketing perspective, you're in favor of this? More clients. lol

I'm purely in it for the entertainment value.

That's what she said.

lulz

I was actually trying to fill in for him as the official 'Board pessemist, but my friends were having none of it. I was miserable. We're just gonna have to gut it out pololess.

I knew about these mod shenanigans....I am not impressed!

Yeah, just not as much fun with all pumpers and no polos. lol
