Loss.

Miami Heat (18-12) vs Detroit Pistons (4-24)

Still has the tag on it.

What are the odds Trump got stuck in the bathtub and had to pried out of it by six people, too?

Man, awake before 5am on a Saturday morning for this tilt. Can't wait.

The part a lot of people don't understand about "personal choice/freedom" is how the results of those choices/freedoms can affect others. Hospital overcrowding has been a known possibility for a long time. How many COVID patients are eligible to be vaccinated but aren't? Oh, and speaking of hospital overcrowding... I think by now most people have made their vaccination choice. If hospitals get overcrowded, the unvaxxed COVIDs can be sent home. Piss on 'em.

Yeah, I saw something by someone somewhere or another that Crane would authorize a 6 year deal at a high AAV with an opt out after two. I did some light maths earlier today. Correa is looking for a Lindor deal, 10/$350M, an AAV of $35M. He has played in about 80% of MLB games since his debut. The Tigers offered 10/$270M (allegedly), an AAV of $27M. 80% of $35M is $28M.

It'll be gone by Easter.

This sounds different than the “Correa or bust” mantra that we’ve heard around here.

Got a note from our kids’ district about this. They mentioned extra policing on hand tomorrow and continuing to monitor the situation. Pretty soon the only difference between school buildings and jails will be the lack of barbed wire around school buildings. But, hey, at least the second amendment of the Constitution (the wonderful document that originally ignored broads and coloreds) will be maintained.

Alaska has the interwebs?

FWIW, I was flipping channels not long ago and saw that the reboot featured a Detroit Tigers hat on an actor.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I would think the best option for him would be to try to drift off into obscurity as much as possible.

Conservative or antivaxx & antimask?

Doesn't make any sense at all. I've been driving for over 30 years. Have not had a moving violation for 20 years. Yet my vehicle requires for governance than a machine designed to kill? And for the political party that "backs the blue", how does this accomplish that? Wouldn't you want patrol units to be notified if they are dealing with someone that's packing heat?

Won't someone please think of the student-athletes?

Detroit Pistons (4-22) vs Indiana Pacers (12-18)

My reaction to the booster was worse the previous 2 shots combined. I had Moderna for all 3. The first 2 there was the normal arm soreness after a flu shot. No big deal. I had a bit of dizziness the morning after the 2nd shot. That was about it. I had the normal air soreness the morning after the booster. It gradually worked its way to pain, and I couldn't move my arm in certain ways. Couldn't raise it fully extended above my shoulder. It was really pretty bad (although catching myself wandering around the house with a T-rex arm was slightly & morbidly amusing). Still sore 48-72 hours after the booster. I also chills for a few hours that started up in the middle of the day. I have a bit of drafty office window, and I kind of assumed that that was it at first, but that wasn't really the culprit. But, hey, those short term side effects were known & understood and I'll take those over the possibility of being strapped to a ventilator or developing myocardia or those types of things.

It might be different now, but when I worked for Kroger (in a store as a rank & file) over 20 years ago, I was making well over minimum wage and had health care coverage.

I gotta be honest, avocado toast sounds like a terrible start to the day. Maybe I'm missing something.

Yeah, this isn't the first time this season that the Pistons have snared a loss from the jaws of victory in the last stanza. I just need to learn to turn the game off after 3 quarters. Makes me wonder, if the NBA did the old ABA point system (1 point for each quarter "won" and 3 points for a game win), where would they be in the standings?

I think this has been a theory. It seems a leap that people are trying to make with Psaki and the picture in question, but this thread gets derailed pretty easily at times, so I guess it makes sense in that way.

Different cartoon.

I don't remember what 5 were on the floor at the end of the 3rd and what 5 were on at the beginning of the 4th. It was pretty obvious the Nets were taking over the game at the beginning of the 4th and it seemed like you could see the momentum that the Pistons had throughout the game just leaking out of the balloon. Yes, the Nets should have won going into it, even without Harden playing. But, damnit, its still good to see them play with purpose and with passion.
