Also, Chael is annoying as fuck until you understand him better.

The weight cut is what really compromises you.

It depends. IRS Can Audit for Three Years, Six, or Forever: Here’s How to Tell

It's a real possibility. Lots of guys in the martial arts community act like it's the healthiest activity possible, but it really should not be a surprise that practicing using the human body to break the human body results in broken human bodies. If you absolutely cannot get hurt, don't do it...

I was 29 when I started BJJ. Loads of guys start in their 40's. Unless you're intending to go pro (you're not, you're 35), then go for it. It's fun, keeps you fit, and it's a good social circle. You don't have to compete if you don't want to; fuck people's expectations. Just keep in mind that...

Two things come to mind. If the lumber was cut from a tree that had beetles or termites, the mill will sometimes pack the voids with filler. Over time, those fillers could fail and look like what you're seeing. Those holes seem large for this, though. Also possible it's dry rot (fungus)...

I found that in stock for MSRP at Best Buy, of all places. Free overnight delivery, too. FFS, I just ordered a two-fan model three days ago because those were out of stock everywhere. Get it.

They use two different tests. I'm not sure how you can ensure you get the Abbott version. I was planning on calling my local office. https://newsroom.questdiagnostics.com/2020-04-21-Quest-Diagnostics-Begins-to-Perform-COVID-19-Antibody-Testing "Initially, Quest is providing the service based...

If you can get the Abbott Labs test through Quest, you'll get good info (assuming they're truthful about the 100% sensitivity and 99.5% specificity). For me, those are good enough odds that I'd consider myself safe both personally and as a carrier.

Used one daily for years. Love it.

Good fucking luck. I couldn't even keep my kids in laced up shoes when they were two, never mind a cloth mask.

3,300 in Santa Clara and 900 in LA County. Similar results.

Those studies showed antibody presence of 20-80x the rate of the positive covid tests, but that's still only 4% of the population, as Mist says. Think of that as 96% of the population is still infectable. Lots of headroom for things to re-accelerate after reopening, if it goes badly. Hopefully...

No. It requires a blood draw and the sample is sent to a lab for processing. You have to go to a Quest center, then you get the results in ~3 days.

Quest Diagnostics

Yeah, they claim a sensitivity of 100% (zero percent negatives false) and specificity of 99.5% (0.5% positives false). That's WAY better than anything else on the market. My wife tells me they also have the most promising vaccine candidate to date, but unfortunately it's the "inactive virus"...

The summers have been entirely too fucking hot the last decade. Spring and fall are godly, though.

PC upgrade time for me. I've been running my 970 GTX into the ground and it just can't handle the stuff I want to play at 1440p any more. I have an Acer XB270HU and don't plan to buy another monitor, so I'm locked into Nvidia/GSYNC. For longevity at 1440p, I assume a 2070 Super is the way to...

My daughter went through a Montessori pre-K and we've been pleased. She's probably a year ahead of her older brother at the same age (he went to a different program). She'll start public Kindergarten in the fall and can read simple books independently and do basic addition and subraction with...

No thanks. We've seen this twice. DC has nothing for Jones. The only meaningful opponents for Jones at LWH are cocaine and boredom.

For reference, the covid number for FL has doubled since he posted. They'll break 900 today.

Yes, but LA was also one of the earliest areas to close up shop. We've been formally "staying at home" for a month, schools have been closed since 3/13, and many business were limiting activity even before that. Taking these actions a week or two earlier in the progression means cutting the...

Not sure that concept quite applies, since they're generated on an ongoing basis by your immune system. Generally, once exposed your immune system will remain potent against the disease for years, if not decades or your entire life.

Pre-release of serology study for LA County. tldr; Roughly 4% of the LA population has COVID-19 antibodies. Distancing looks like it worked, but there's a lot of headroom for a second wave. Next steps must be managed carefully. "Based on results of the first round of testing, the research team...

Shutting off an oil well is not trivial. Producers often prefer to sell at a loss.

As soon as they started asking questions we had a family discussion, explained the pandemic and why we're isolating as best we could, and said that the future was going to be uncertain. I've been lucky that my 8 year old is a massive introvert. He's read 15 books in the last month and I have to...

You're probably talking about this: https://chemrxiv.org/articles/COVID-19_Disease_ORF8_and_Surface_Glycoprotein_Inhibit_Heme_Metabolism_by_Binding_to_Porphyrin/11938173 It's a pre-print paper describing how researchers used a couple kinds of computer simulation to model possible molecular...

Right, I just meant they're not blowing up because it seems plausible that whatever increase in residential shipping they're seeing is offset by the loss of business shipping. As you say, they're used to short-term scaling.

I imagine a large portion of their business is B2B, and thus presently nonexistent.

Fauci says antibody tests will start becoming available in a week or so. This is very good news. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/10/health/us-coronavirus-friday/index.html

Drugs are some powerful shit. A friend of mine is an ex-Marine, ex-professional kickboxer, and Judo black belt. He had a job working security in a hospital in the 80's , and one day they called him into the ER. Some dude had walked in off the street and started assaulting the staff and breaking...

NO.

^ Anyone investing for retirement who was in the market up to now should just shut off the financial news and check back in 12-18 months.

Celebrity privilege at work... What are the odds he makes it through a year probation without fucking up again?

The technology exists but the even the UK one is some weeks out from mass availability.

Well yeah, most people smart enough to follow that advice aren't out committing DWIs, either. Or at least not three times or whatever this is for Jones.

I didn't say refuse to comply with the police; just don't SAY anything.

Silence is always an option, and speaking can only incriminate yourself. You're right that Jones was totally boned in this situation, but contributing against your own case is always stupid.

As much time as Jones must have spent with lawyers by now, you'd think he would know the proper way to respond to police: "Sir, have you been drinking?" "I have nothing to say until my attorney is present."
