  2. You should talk, you just carelessly deflated the emoticon market!
  3. We've had a ham in the freezer begging to be cooked. Wife looked for a turkey but didn't see the deals there normally where around this time. Plus there were only big turkeys left...probably because the extended family dinner isn't happening.
  4. I'm down about 7 lbs in just under a month and it's mainly due to not eating in the car during my commute. My eating habits in general are way better now that literally every meal eaten is at home (surprisingly enough I do not miss eating out at all). I'm going to start the couch to 5K this weekend and see how that goes too.

  8. I usually look up the all-times games played list and the all-time points list to get inspiration. I was a little surprised myself that he was the one that stuck out. Heh, guess it's from nominating Sundstrom for so long. FTR it was between him, Ronning, and Adams

  10. That's awesome. Although I need new pillows, does this mean I should run out and get some now?

  12. I'm thinking this will be a significant lesson we'll take from this experience. It's too bad masks are so hard to come by at the moment because now would be great time to put that lesson into use.

  14. I was trying to determine if this is pre or post finger pull. I then had an epiphany, it's like Schroedinger's cat...It is both pulled and unpulled simultaneously.
  15. Dude cared that much about distance yet made an "essential" trip to a liquor store? Me thinks he should recheck his priorities.
  16. I'm not 100% sure either but I think a lot of it has to do with testing. Gotta make sure it works before sending it out to the masses.
  17. And we won't have to. Best case scenario a vaccine is created. Also, medications could emerge to prove effective in suppressing systems. Worse case scenario, Covid-19 cases come in waves over a couple of years. But even then, it will eventually be over with (after many dead and much disruption) and we can put the pieces back together (but there is no reason why that last case is our fate).
  18. That's why hospital capacity is a key factor/statistic/whatever you want to call it. If my appendix bursts during regular flu season, I'm not worried because I know the hospital won't be overburdened with seasonal flu sufferers. But what if my appendix bursts two weeks from now and the hospitals are slammed with Covid-19 patients? How many other things may get missed because the hospitals are overburdened because we didn't flatten the curve. It's easy to quibble over death rates, testing effectiveness because this virus is new and the data is emerging. But the overburdening of the hospital system is real because we ALL are susceptible to this virus (unlike the seasonal flu which a large enough percentage of us will already have immunity).
  19. Just feel like screaming: 1. This is a NOVEL coronavirus...meaning no one has immunity. 2. This seems to spread really fast meaning a lot of people are going to get this at relatively the same time 3. Are there worse viruses? Yes, even worse coronaviruses. Other viruses (coronaviruses, flu's, etc) have partial immunity amongst the population so cases are more spread out and people can receive the care they need. 4. However, if a lot of people get this at the same time enough of them will be bad enough that the hospitals will be overwhelmed 5. When hospitals are overwhelmed, many people will die needlessly because they can't get care.

  22. Hockey.....and Chuck Norris.
  23. Personally, I knew I ate too much junk food on my daily/weekly routine. I had a commute so the eating the car was terrible for me. Now that I don't have the commute, just by eating at home, I have lost 6 pounds in about 3 weeks. My next goal is to add the Couch to 5K into my daily routine.

  25. If someone can get on this on the iPad let me know. I couldn't find a way to access home games.
