nfl 2020-2021
That was a pretty nice win by the Seahawks; the defense played a solid game and Russ was on form. They were helped a lot by a Goff mental mistake, but that's all part of the game. Green Bay has the first seed all but locked, unfortunately. Too bad we couldn't find a way to pull it out vs. the Giants.

Coronavirus Goes Fourth
I think they're being cautious in their wording because they don't know exactly how long antibody protection lasts through natural immune response. It may be that (without a vaccine) as the pandemic cycles through the population over several years, immunity may start to wear off with the first infected and the cycle may start all over again. With vaccines, you can deliver immunity at a much more rapid rate, which gives you a chance to squelch the propagation of the current strains. That doesn't mean it won't pop up again at some point.

General movie thread!!!!
We watched "The Midnight Sky" last night. It was... dreary, in a similar way to "The Road". The spacecraft was decently implemented.

- Would you consider that to be cheating? Is it all right to lower the difficulty in such a situation?
On the rare instance where I have to refight the same battle over and over, I'm happy just to lower the difficulty and get through it. I find repetitive battle scenes to be no better in design than respawning creatures. It's also why I often skip the final boss battle.- Politics US Edition Volume II
He's pretty much all about image. The $600 was previously worked out between him and Mitch, so perhaps genius Trump was baiting a trap so he can look good? But Hanlon's razor would instead suggest idiot Trump's throwing a tantrum and wanted to nuke the works to get attention.- I believe Obsidian's greatest creations were Pillars of Eternity 1 and Tyranny
User ratings: They would be smart to use a robust measure to compute the score, rather than a simple average. That would eliminate a lot of outlier votes.- Weird, random, interesting - now with 100% less diacriticals
German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild computed the first exact solution of Einstein's theory of general relativity while serving on the Eastern front during WW1. This led to the derivation of the Schwarzschild radius of a non-rotating black hole. He developed pemphigus while at the front and died of it the following year. What a waste.- Xmas and NY Plans
Just a minimalist gathering this year. We've all been extra careful in the days leading up the event.- Funny Stuff: The Phantom Funny

Yes, I bet he'd like to do that just to irk more people. But Cosby was found guilty by the state of Pennsylvania.- Funny Stuff: The Phantom Funny

Considering how the original strain became widely traveled before it was even noticed, I don't doubt that the new strain is probably already in multiple countries. One wonders how useful shutting down flights from England is at this point. We're basically all one big petri dish.- I believe Obsidian's greatest creations were Pillars of Eternity 1 and Tyranny
