  1. I can only go by what has been published (regarding continued effectiveness), and by anecdotal evidence from my physician. I guess that leave me in a wait and see. Aren't boosters being talked about, but nothing conclusive have been decided? I think that's tied in with the accursed "delta" variant - will it arrive, and from where, and to whom?
  2. Russian Navy off the Hawaii coast, and now the Brits are used for live fire training on the Black sea. Usual posturing or unusual? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/23/russian-ship-fired-warning-shots-at-royal-navy-destroyer-hms-defender-moscow-says

    Yes, it was an exciting race. If there are some here who haven't seen it, it's worth watching (no spoilers).
  4. This just further plays into the "we're different from you," and it's all about the mentality so prevalent today. No surprise that's the way it has been spun.

    And the Tire mystery is over (was it ever a mystery?): https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/12333511/pirelli-reveals-cause-of-azerbaijan-gp-high-speed-tyre-blowouts-for-max-verstappen-lance-stroll

    Or Lewis continuing to win every race.

    Yes. Interesting to note that Pirelli almost immediately blamed debris on the failures. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/pirelli-believes-baku-tyre-blowouts-caused-by-debris/6541833/

    Exactly, I really enjoyed the race, including the "Oh Sh*t" moment at the end with the race leader, then the "Sorry about that" moment with the guy in second place - an unusual moment for Hamilton. Actually left the coverage on for the podium experience this time. If one hasn't seen the race, it's worth a look.
  9. I mean, how does that work? Really, work - if you know what I mean.
  10. This guy has a ton of "Mach Loop" and "Star Wars Canyon" stuff... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMitE3qxy_fQhkiIUZmRyxQ

    I would have watched just to see the outcome. Poor Hamilton, wah...wah...
  12. This is all about the photo-op.
  13. Funny, they apologized of course. I might too, and it would start, "I'm sorry I commented on your beautiful t*ts."
  14. I know it's the CG, but wow what an inspirational speaker. It sounded a little like he was disappointed the graduates didn't think the Navy was totally awesome (and better than they were).
  15. Are you saying that everyone signed on - knowing "the rules" were going to be changed, based on wind direction and political ideology, and we're okay with it, and need to live with it?

    He doesn't know how to do the 50 mission curve either. I would also say that the #44 car was faster then the Red Bull, but that's nothing new.
  17. I don't know, he kind of reminds me of the extra guy from Ghostbusters, who was just there for the job and didn't really know what he was getting into when he volunteered.

    This begs the question - who has ever had a successful comeback? Not even Michael Schumacher, so my expectations are pretty low for these guys.
  19. And that is really the key. Showing the drama (in anything) is financially beneficial to whatever news outlet is displaying it. But, there is another component to this equation - the folks who consume their drama products... Not many people even understand the level of truth in what content they consume, we gravitate to the news that makes us feel good in our own beliefs - even if completely false. This whole thing feeds itself, and is nearly self-perpetuating. And just damn ugly to watch.
  20. Might have been a more plausible storyline.
  21. I don't know, people in the USA have been killed for "athletic" shoes, think about the culture that this is sold into.
  22. The blood thing needs to be explained (for amusement sake).

    I thought his name was Marzipan? (I know, lots of nicknames for him already) His losing control is awfully embarrassing. Are the UK bookies offering odds on whether this will happen again?
