As usual… Raphael gets it wrong. thr CDC director was asked about a study on vaccinated people. It was 78% of the vaccinated people in that study. so he agrees on the power of vaccination.

It’s like trying to say that what McConnell did in 2016 with Garland is different than what he did with Amy Barret in 2020. but yes. You are correct in one sense. CNN has standards. Fox doesn’t. That was the whole point.

Opinionated host of an opinion show is coordinating messaging with politician. Which one is fox and which one is cnn?

only 3 people can do my wife's job in the ICU at her hospital. Medical professionals is not a one size fits all thing. You can't just transfer someone from another department. There's specialties. That's why the field hospitals didn't work. Anyone they would have been able to treat probably didn't really need to be in the hospital to begin with. It's not about mass casualty events like gunshots and trauma. If anyone could work in the field hospital then chances are they were already working in a brick and mortar hospital

I don't mind if they say "push a button". I just detest the voice thing. Give me the option. "I'm sorry. I couldn't hear that. Let me repeat the options"

And then dumped a bucket of ice on Mitch Albom

I chuckled

Higginson never played on a winning team in college or the pros. Felipe Lira. Omar Olivares. Brian Bohanan.

What year was Willie Blair? One of the few good things Smith did was let some other team waste a deal on him for his “good” season. Seems like the tigers also got aging middle infielders on their way out… Gregg jefferies. Scott fletcher. Billy Ripken.

Without looking it up I think you nailed it.

On top of that we had people from the CDC who worked in Wuhan for this very purpose. Trump got rid of them because “I don’t like to pay people who aren’t doing anything”. He literally threw out the smoke detector because it was just sitting there not detecting smoke.

We had Gabe Kepler too. Wonder how often a team had two guys named Gabe.

Forgot to add that same friend made fun of me because I would watch The National after hockey games. Loved it. No nonsense. I don’t watch much on CBC anymore in terms of games but my wife records Working Moms and I still see the commercials for it.

Church leader. They’re always church leaders.

Michigan accents are normal

When I came of age drinking wise in the mid 90's Labatt was my beer of choice for a very long time. I have the mirrors, hockey stick, helmet, etc. Then I'd watch old hockey clips or whatever and see the Labatt's logo... dang. I never knew it was the official name. A good friend of mine at the time moved here from Windsor and that's how he said it but I assumed it's just him being all Canadian on me.... "Hey, you want to have supper here tonight? I got some labatt's and we can go over the 'pro-cess' of how we're going to build the rink out back..."

In defense of Meijer's it used to be called "Meijer's Thrifty Acres". Still doesn't excuse Fords, KMarts. etc.

I wonder if it's possible to know how many times a GM traded for the same player more than once? A fun trivia game, in person, no phones or whatever, is to guess which player was part of which trades. They all run together. Ausmus, Brocail, Lima, Todd Jones, Holt, Meluskey.... one year he signed Phil Plantier then traded him in Spring Training.

I wonder if he has to pay Heidi $10,000 every time he gets to use her name like that. Nobody likes Ted. Not his family. I don't know if he they have a dog but if they do I bet the dog hates him too. Trump doesn't like him. He doesn't respect him. Never let it be said I don't think Trump was right about something because he was spot on about Marco and Ted in 2016.

I remember on the old forum Biggs pointing out that Common Core as they call it was how you learned in Japan and it helps train engineers. People who might think they are not good at math were just not taught the right way to think about it. The goal isn't for you to learn what 12*9 is.... it's to train your brain to do the calculation so that you can do more advanced ones later on. Don't just memorize it.

You did that in your head? I would have gotten hung up on the final calculation. I'm that way with years now... after 2020 hit If you ask me what year was 34 years ago I get mixed up. I still think 1997 was like 10 years ago.

and trading Fryman was symbolically bad because he was the only homegrown talent they developed in a long time. He was the comp pick for losing Parrish to FA. He had a couple of good seasons in Cleveland. Oddly enough both Dean and Fryman crashed hard after their age 31 season in 2000. I remember his first HR, there was a little dust up, I think he trash talked. Sparky just said "I talked to him... he won't do it again." He later named one of his sons after Sparky (George, not Sparky).

This is how I did it: 137*10 = 1370 100*8 = 800 8*30 = 240 8*7 = 56 2466 Took me about 20 seconds
