Basketball in the Olympics is a joke. So is Golf and Baseball.

Spoken like someone who doesn't understand that the Olympics makes a ton of money (covid aside), and that tentpole sports like basketball and baseball keep the general population interested, bring in viewers/consumers, and help keep the "business" of the Olympics solvent.

Most people aren't clamoring to watch fucking discus, bruh

Want to get serious about Corona? Close the borders.

That won't work.

Chiefly because corona is already here, and that a sizeable portion of the population refuses to accept the solutions we have to control the virus right now

I don't think I've ever had lemon ice cream but that sounds really good.

Unfortunately the ice cream maker was busted at the place we went tonight, so they only had a limited selection. I got a scoop of maple walnut and a scoop of coffee (would've done MW w/ chocolate but my daughter was curious about the coffee so I got some so she could try it).

My oldest had one scoop cake batter and one scoop chocolate chip.

My heathen wretch of a daughter got choc/vanilla swirl soft serve and wept the entire time eating it

Full disclosure: I feel scooped ice cream is superior in just about every way but I'll absolutely throw down with some soft serve if someone is serving it up to me

What flavor(s) should I get? The place I'm going has a bunch of flavors. First to five (if they have it) wins.

Also, my wife thinks soft serve is superior to good ol' fashioned ice cream. Please vote accordingly in the poll so I can show her the results and ridicule her until she cries. I know no one on PotD is foolish enough to believe this nonsense

I'm curious how they'll explain it, or if they'll explain it at all. It's been ages since I've read the comic so I don't recall all the details, particularly of the "how" things got to that stage. Not that they'd necessarily stick with the source material...

Did he even do anything wrong?

Telling someone you're going to jerk off in front of them is not the same as asking someone their consent to watch you jerk off in front of them.

Aside from that, there was a power dynamic involved. Louis CK was at the time highly successful and well-connected. Anyone trying to make their way through showbiz could be intimidated by his status, and that fear could prevent them from speaking out against him.

I have cops in my family and one of my cousins who is married to a cop says all this focus on policing the police is driving cops to leave the profession, or keeping people from pursuing a career in police work.

I told her any cop who fears accountability is a shitty cop, and shouldn't be one

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/04/health/myocarditis-covid-vaccine.html

For every one million Americans immunized with a coronavirus vaccine, about 60 develop temporary heart problems, according to a study published on Wednesday in the journal JAMA Network.

The complications were all short-lived, the researchers found. And these heart problems are far more common among patients who develop Covid-19, outside experts noted.

Analyzing the medical records of just over 2 million people who had received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine through May 2021, the new study found 20 cases of myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, and 37 cases of pericarditis, inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart.

Patients who were hospitalized were discharged after only a few days, and none died.

The incidence of myocarditis in the study, at 10 cases per million vaccinated, is higher than the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions estimate of 4.8 cases per million, suggesting that there may be more cases than are reported to the federal database for tracking so-called adverse events following vaccinations.

We see that these adverse events are leading to very short and unremarkable hospital stays, said Dr. Jeremy Faust, an emergency medicine physician at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston who was not involved in the study. The same cant be said of hospitalizations for Covid-19 in this or any age group so far.

When people are hospitalized for Covid, the consequences are far more severe, added Dr. Faust, who has compared rates of myocarditis following vaccination to those among Covid-19 patients.

The researchers, with the Providence health care system, evaluated medical records from 40 hospitals in Washington, Oregon, Montana and Los Angeles County, Calif.

They found that myocarditis developed a median of 3.5 days after vaccination, mostly after the second dose, and in people with a median age of 36 years. Three-quarters of the 20 cases were in men.

The 19 patients who were admitted to the hospital were discharged after a median of two days. About three weeks after vaccination, 13 patients had recovered from their symptoms and the remaining seven were improving.

Pericarditis affected older patients, at a median age of 59 years, and later, about 20 days after vaccination, the researchers found. Pericarditis, too, was more common in men. Of the 37 cases identified, 13 were admitted to the hospital; the median stay was one day.

A separate study, posted online last week, suggested that the incidence of myocarditis in boys ages 12 to 17 who had Covid-19 was 876 per million; in girls of the same age group with Covid-19, the incidence was 213 cases per million.

The study has not yet been peer reviewed or published in a scientific journal.

Seems to be alarmist and premature. Thanks for sharing, though. Get vaccinated.

Yeah covid had a definite impact, both positive and negative. Positive in that a lot of people weren't spending and were able to save for a home and now they're ready to buy, and a lot of what's happening now is due to the fact that there's so few new houses being built, and there's such a high demand that when houses go to market there's literally bidding wars for them because there's such little inventory.

I read a report (I'll try to find a link) that said we're seeing some of our lowest inventory counts in decades, and that building regulations coupled with a shortage in labor is contributing to the spike in prices. I recall them mentioning that duplexes and condos were illegal to build in some municipalities, and that regulations need to be updated to feed the market needs. I'll look for a link...
