That’s actually good news. We same similar things this summer with MLB where vaccinated players were testing positive, not because of symptoms but due to testing protocols. The vaccines protected them from getting ill.

I think of it as a competitive process, and a bit of statistics. If a person is exposed to both delta and omicron on the same day, the omicron if going to infest much more rapidly, making the prevailing virus at the time of sampling be Omicron. It’s easier to transfer, and more rapid to replicate. While Delta may still be present in the background, it’s essentially drown out. I assume the same thing is happening on a cellular level, there are so many Omicron that the Delta can’t gain access to the binding sites, and can’t gain access to the ribosomes to replicate. Otgerwise we’d have super infections, where the body is preoccupied with the more multiple Omicron viruses while the more virulent Delta reeks havoc on the organ systems. This would presumably test as Omicron but act like Delta, or worse, clinically. But this hasn’t happened, so I think it’s a numbers game.

It was, atop some of the volcanoes. It happens in the big island. I imagine it also happens on Haleakala, too, but I haven’t hear the stories of people skiing like I have on Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.

They should have a blocked TJ Watt. He made Jackson step up and force a bad ball. Baltimore should have played for OT. They have the kicker who can be automatic if they got a defensive stop.

I agree. If you’re going to do a cover, make it your own.

I’ve come to learn a lot of people dislike Joe Buck because of their rooting interests against the Cardinals. Mainly Chicago people, I’d assume. I guess if you associate a voice with a team that consistent beat yours, it’s going to make an impact.

Happy ending, please. -Robert Kraft

Irreplaceable at work? Obviously not. But I think a lot of people appreciate what I bring to my position that others don’t, so I think my coworkers would miss me more than administration would. I’m not their boss, but I am a leader. And I think the team dynamic I create leads to better quality than how others approach my job. At home? Yeah, wife and kids very much need me.

Easily. I wouldn’t mention Ben in the same sentence as the other guy. One’s a future HOF QB, 2 time Super Bowl winner, and the winningest QB at Browns Stadium, the other’s won a playoff game. So yeah he’s on the decline, but you gotta keep ‘em separated.

I’ll take @denniS’ scenery over yours, no offense. And if Virginia skiing is so great, why do so many of you come to Western Pennsylvania for our ski bump?

Yeah, I have a power washer, and a portable auto tire inflator. Kids today.

I worked 2 1/2 jobs for 7 days over Thanksgiving week so everyone else could take off. I found those wine boxes don't really last up to 30 days. I leave for 2 weeks of vacation on Friday afternoon. Time to wind down.

If he didn't, he showed no signs of remorse. He kept going up the off ramp, and fast, then across the bridge and was gone. I followed, but got stuck behind a box truck at the merge point entering the bridge.

Thanks everyone, some really useful information.

A minivan drag race a lifted Jeep from a stop light. I’m not sure what the goal was. The Jeep took a right exit while the minivan kept going straight. All I can guess is the minivan wanted to pass the jeep and get to the right exit, but the Jeep driver said “no”.

Yeah, I’m not getting him an industrial one, so I have to decide if the sub-$500 are really of value or more just a toy.

Thanks. He’s going to make a career in automotives, too early to tell what that entails.

What brand would you recommend? My kid is starting an automotive school program in January. I see this as more than just a passing need.

Now you want me to extract more information from a 20 year old.

My son asked for an air compressor for Christmas. Wanted 20 gallon tank, plans to use a bunch of tools with it. I find a Craftsman for $420, and a McGraw from Harbor Freight for $250. I’ve always questioned the reliability/longevity of the tools sold at Harbor Freight… am I correct in this assessment or is the Craftsman a markuped up price on name alone? The specs are pretty similar. Then his coworker told him just get a 5 gallon tank, so I have no idea what his action needs are. But I figured people here might have some perspective/experience and guidance.

That’s snot kale.

I have As Nature Intended on CD, which is the roof top concert and the Glyn Johns mixes of the Let It Be album. I highly recommend it, if you can find it, if you like this era of the Beatles.
