Yeah that INT was right on target, in and out of his hands. There was another throw that wasn't intercepted but would have been if the first defender didn't unknowingly tip it away from the second. That one I would have put on Dak

Well yeah. It would obviously be a waste of money for a Caps fan to get a real Vanecek Kracken jersey as a joke

I love my Moonlander but this would be so much easier to bring to work with me because of the thumb cluster. Great tilting solution and the touchbar is awesome. All 1u would be easier to find other keys for, but still I can't wait until it's available. Wish I hadn't missed out on the GB.

I'd be down with renaming the Wizards, and I'm indifferent to the Washington/District part. The Football Team has to stay with burgundy & gold though. I'd have the other teams use red or burgundy as their primary and something like the Caps navy as alternates for hockey, baseball, and basketball

But, they do this ass backwards and refused to change the name there was nothing they could do when the investor letter came out.

They definitely should have changed it a while ago, but let's be fair: people have been squatting on trademarks for potential names for at least a decade, so they still would have had to go through this anyway. Even if they tried to secure it before announcing the name change, it would have gotten out when they had to start filing for trademarks and all that

You're completely missing the point. You can't discriminate against a protected class. But you sure as shit can have groups for women in business, promote black-owned businesses, and have a credit union for veterans only.

They're close but even still, as a rookie QB you don't want to hear through the media that your coach doesn't think you've picked up on something yet

Pouncey retired so who was going to be the other offensive captian? Juju?

You really don't understand why a coach wouldn't want to answer "what's your rookie QB's biggest weakness" before his first start? Sure he could have blown smoke up the reporter's ass and danced around the question, but... why?

That was my first thought. The subway is literally under the building.

Read more than one, genius.

I would have used your bed to save the veteran.

It's a tragedy when a "veteran dies of treatable illness as COVID fills hospital beds". If I was up to me I would have saved the veteran instead.

Which is why I'm so glad I was able to answer your question for you with such a quick Google search:

Florida hospital ICU beds fill as delta variant spreads (FOX, 8/24/21)

At least 95 Texas hospitals were out of ICU beds last week (08/23/21)

ICU beds full heading into holiday weekend (Hawaii, 9/3/21)

ICU beds full at most metropolitan Tennessee hospitals (8/19/21)

8/23/21: Arkansas, Alabama full; Kentucky using non ICU space as ICU; Florida 94% full; Idaho, Nevada, Illinois nearing limits

State's hospital capacity data shows ICU beds available while several Oklahoma City-area hospitals publicly say they have none (9/3/21)

Washington state officials say they’re short on hospital staff and running out of ICU beds as Covid resurges (8/25/21)

As COVID-19 surges, 93% of Oregon's hospital beds are full, ICU beds are 90% full (8/13/21)

No ICU beds available: PCH at capacity with COVID-19 patients (WV, 9/7/21)

Arkansas ICU Beds For COVID-19 Patients Completely Full (8/24/21)

ICU beds almost full at hospitals in the Kansas City area (8/27/21)

ICU beds full at 2 western South Dakota hospitals (8/23/21)

As COVID-19 surge continues, Georgia hospitals running out of ICU beds (8/18/21)

Salem 8/20/21

"We're looking to add space in hallways and conference rooms in waiting areas"--These 5 states have less than 10% of ICU beds left as Covid-19 overwhelms hospitals (9/1/21)

Without the covid patients, there would be fewer people in ICU beds, and hospitals wouldn't be at capacity. Elementary school level math.

I actually just edited with a source that gives numbers to support your claim about "most" (i.e. 51%) but explained the caveat where & why there are likely inaccuracies. I'm not the one that made the claim so I'm not the one that needs to back it up, but I linked it for you anyway.

The survey also asked for the primary reason, so more than one answer could have applied. Most of these people were vaccinated as kids by their parents, so it will be interesting to see if they vaccinate their own kids as the sentiment gains popularity.

I agree that of those refusing to get vaccinated, those who are completely antivaxx are probably less than half, but the methodology and other answers indicate it's at least more than a fifth. Everyone I've asked "how long is long-term before you'd consider getting the vaccine" hasn't given me an answer. We were incredibly lucky that there was already a head start on the research (because SARS and COVID-19 are related). But either way, vaccines don't have the same long-term risks as medications. This isn't thalidomide (which was correctly denied FDA approval anyway so win for them). We don't know what the long-term effects are of COVID yet either--does it have a partner like chicken pox & shingles / mono & EBV? In the end, I'd rather have a vaccine that teaches my body how to fight illness on its own rather than having to take a medication that could affect who knows what in the crossfire.

You shouldn't make a claim like "most people" if it's just you and your friends and you don't actually have any idea.

Something like this is what I was asking for. Only 16% admit to being opposed to vaccines in general.

However, 78% of all of those unvaccinated say they won't change their minds. That tells me the real number is likely higher than 16%. If those who claim they're just concerned about safety were actually only concerned about safety, they would have been willing to change their mind with "long-term" studies. The two problems with that are 1) long-term safety for vaccines is shorter than medication anyway because you're not getting dosed multiple times a day, and 2) very few will actually agree to pin down what period of time needs to pass before they'll take it.

Hence why you see people who said "I'll get it once it's FDA approved" now backpedaling and moving their goal posts.

I think they're referring to, "it was actually a dream the whole time!"

Either way, the question is about writers running out of ideas, which shouldn't apply to the first episode anyway

Hospitals running out of ICU beds needed emergency provisions for more. I really hope you can follow me on this because it's really straight forward.

You're asking me "why do you care if I'm not wearing a seatbelt as long as you are?" And I'm telling you that in a car accident, a person not buckled in can hurt other people besides themselves. Your freedom to not wear a seatbelt ends where other people's safety begins. Always has. It's not new.

Hospitals were running out of ICU beds. I know this because where I work helped supply more.

I wasn't changing the subject to ICU beds, I was showing you how American unvaccinated still affect other Americans after you changed the subject to India. Turns out, unvaccinated Americans can cause more than one problem, fancy that.

Gas was cheap because people weren't driving as much during lockdowns. Now supply chains are behind, which means prices go up with the increase in demand as that people are working again. Notice the shortage in chips affecting everything from computers to cars?

Summer and hurricane season have always been bad for gas prices. If gas is still $4/gal in January, we can talk then

I'd expect normal aging to make it more difficult to cover up his stutter than 20 years ago. Some people in this thread are saying "oh the stutter is new it must be dimentia."

Samuel L Jackson had a stutter growing up--his signature "motherfucker" came as a result of trying to cover for it. When he's 80 he'll be less able to cover his stutter too. I'm sure we'll have people arguing "he was an actor how could he have a stutter this must be dementia"

Yes, unvaccinated people anywhere are a potential mutation risk. That's not limited to America. Two points on that though:

1. Unvaccinated Americans are still filling ICU beds that should be going to other people (contributing to excess deaths)
2. This needs to be a worldwide vaccination effort but if someone in a third world country can't get a vaccine, it's not their fault. They aren't choosing to contribute to the potential for mutations, while people in the US are. The Delta variant could have just as easily come from an unvaccinated American. Who's to say the next variant won't be of American origin?

most people who don't want this vaccine are fully vaccinated

Source? Inform me then.

This student wasn't in an online program though, he just happened to sign up for online classes this semester. Which means he would have still had full access to campus facilities and may have been asked to take in-person exams. If he was in an online degree program like you are, 1,500 miles away, I'm sire it would have been different.

The more unvaccinated people there are, the more mutations and variants there will continue to be, until we get one that puts the vaccinated back at square one.

In case you were genuinely asking and not just thinking you were clever

Being anti-vaxx isn't a "different view" any more than refusing to wear a seatbelt and throwing a temper tantrum when getting a ticket for it is a "different view."

I was waiting for mom's spaghetti, I was not expecting this
