COVID is just irritating the shit out of me at this point. It's day 16 and the only symptom I've had since like day 7 is a horrible cough that if anything has gotten worse rather than better.

I've felt perfectly fine other than having to cough really badly from time to time.

I think sadly in a lot of cases it will boil down to money. People can't afford to take the time off work whereas last year people were getting paid to stay at home. Omicron is for sure more contagious but it's also a lot easier for it to be spread when there's a lot more people working, a lot more people out and about and it's far more likely sick people work through it rather than isolate at home.

That's what I thought too but nope. Just says to mask up after 5 days.

https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s1227-isolation-quarantine-guidance.html

People with COVID-19 should isolate for 5 days and if they are asymptomatic or their symptoms are resolving (without fever for 24 hours), follow that by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others to minimize the risk of infecting people they encounter. The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after.

Hope you get better soon Ulti,

I tested positive 10 days ago with symptoms starting 12 days ago. First few days were aches and pains followed by sore throat then a cough that got progressively worse mixed in with a couple of days of feeling completely lethargic. On Day 12 now I still have a minor dry cough / flem in my throat. I sometimes have to cough when talking which I guess is slight breathlessness.I thought like 4-5 days ago my symptoms were on the verge of disappearing within a day but they keep being niggly persistent.

Symptoms this time didn't feel as severe as last time but they are definitely still there and niggling. It's why I was surprised when the CDC revised to 5 days of isolation. After 5 days my symptoms, cough/throat stuff especially, was basically at its heaviest.

Fully vaccinated (no booster though) and I've previously had COVID. Just tested positive with symptoms. Same for the wife.

My symptoms aren't as bad as when I previously had it. Just bad a aches/pains and a messed up throat. My wife has worse symptoms with a really bad cough/mucus and not breathing as well. She's not hospitalization bad. It's the complete opposite of the first time we got it, I was really bad with symptoms and she was asymptomatic.

We had talked about getting booster shots a while back but just hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Can I decide after retirements?

The option to toggle whether a team is user or AI controlled is before retirements and that's the only point he can make the change. So he would have to manually control the team himself for a full season if any player backed out after that the point he selects user/AI controlled

I know the new season is going to be like 2-3 months away but in case anyone is planning for next season already the Steelers plan on having the following players on the tradeblock. OVRs are obviously this season and won't be updated until next season starts

MLB McClain (94 OVR)
FB Belton (99 OVR)
CB Parrish (82 OVR)
WR Owen (74 OVR)

Owen has 90+ in return and is basically available for free as he'll be a cut target otherwise which is the only reason I mention him.

I'll be looking for the following: WR1, receiving TE, QB, FS, draft picks

If the last thing I did was the end of Liyue stuff (i.e. the fight at the golden thingy plus clean up Geo Archon storyline) then how long will it take me to clear all the existing story and how much of it will be gated behind gear/level/rank progression? I think I was like rank 46 or something with a team of 80s and 70s last I played.

Mainly want to see the story since YouTube recommended the La Signora battle theme to me recently so now I'm super intrigued as to what has happened.

Can anybody tell me anything about HBAR? A friend of a friend recently sent me a Voyager referral link where if I put in $100 it gave me $25 of Bitcoin. So I'm like whatever free money. I glanced through a few charts and threw the $100 into HBAR on Monday morning and it has gone up 26% since then making me regret not putting something substantial in there. It seems it always goes up overnight and then stays static or drops a little in the day.

So now I'm wondering if I should put something more than throwaway money into it

Yeah, I'd say shorten the game summaries however you see fit. I don't know if it would be easier but 5 potential options I can think are:

1. Post a video of you scrolling through each game summary. People can pause the video on their game to get stats. I'd guess you're opposed to that otherwise it would have likely been done already.

2. Just post scores + yardage + turnovers for each game.

3. Just post scores. People can always ask for player stats for the season if they can't make the livesim.

4. Keep the same format but give yourself longer breaks between games. I know part of the rush is that once you progress a game week you can't see previous box scores. But if you did livesim as normal and then posted summaries at a later more convenient date for you it might ease how much of a pain summaries are. So maybe like livesim Weds, summaries posted Friday. If you didn't want to drop to only 1 game a week then maybe designate 3 days a week and alternate between livesim and summary so you're basically getting 1.5 games a week. Maybe that's too messy though.

5. Do the same as you are now but whenever it feels too much of a pain to do summaries then just post scores. So some weeks we get summaries, some weeks we don't and it is what it is.

Same for Tulloch. I think he's probably just off it. I have him at 91 Tackles, 6 Sacks, 2 FF, 1 INT purely off stats I've gotten from game summaries. Although I do think he's gotten mentioned virtually every game on discord so that may be close to his actual stat line for the season.

I'd guess Shazier is probably in that close cluster too just off the leaderboard

Nobody on offense that's for certain

The Steelers may not win but we will do our best to drag everyone else down to our level of offensive misery when you play us!

AFC North has 17 wins on the season. 16 are against sub .500 teams. The 17th is against 6-6 Pioneers.

I'm pretty sure if I win my remaining 3 AFC North games I'd win the division regardless of my result against the Seahawks. I don't expect it to happen but the chance is there at least!

Feels like to make the playoffs this year I'd have to win the North and even though I have a tied record with the Ravens that looks extremely unlikely given how good they are. Going to pay the price for not capitalizing on their bad start and losing 3 close toss-up games (in fairness seems I won some too)

Best I can hope for is to try get to 8-9 wins and hope players develop for next season before the mass exodus of my defense due to retirements

I was ecstatic with the Magic's pick. The stadium erupted when the Raptors took Barnes as we knew that meant we were getting Suggs. Genuinely can't believe he fell to us.

Wagner is kind of whatever. There was a large grouping of talent there so I guess going with the high floor defensive guy is fine.

Little bit weird that we basically gave away pick 33 with how the board was. it's unlikely that any future 2nd will be as high as that. There's some guys I would have liked to take a flyer on or give two way contracts to.

Sorry to hear that but glad you lawyered up. I too went through a separation then divorce in my 20s. We were together for 8 years and married for 5. The last 2 years we were together were absolutely miserable and it felt like we were living as roommates for the last year of it. We were 21 and 19 when we got together and we simply weren't the same people by the end of the marriage as we were at the start but had stuck it out for more years than we should have because it was 'marriage'. Getting out of it now is better for you than dragging it out.

When I got divorced I felt like the failed marriage was all my fault and we didn't lawyer up. We just agreed an amicable separation and then didn't bother getting divorced until 2 years after. I'm a nice guy and I got hosed because of feeling it was my fault so I just took 50% of savings, my clothes and 1 of our 3 cats. She got everything else (the house only had 50k remaining on the mortgage) despite us having no kids and her not working for 6 of the 8 years we were together but really it was the cat part that killed me. I later found out she had an affair with a co-worker which I strongly suspected and accused her of when together but she always vehemently denied.

In the end it was the best thing that happened to me. I met an amazing woman and the way this relationship is made me realize how unhealthy my previous marriage had been, I just didn't know better. We are now happily married. It was incredibly unlikely our timelines or paths would have crossed if my circumstances hadn't happened exactly as they did.

My ex-wife ended up going through therapy and told me most of our issues had been due to her and therapy helped her realize that. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't without fault and had my flaws too. She's now engaged to the guy she had an affair with and I honestly hope they are happy together.

So whilst it's going to be shitty for you now, it doesn't mean it will always be like that for you. You will learn from the experience and I'm sure you will meet someone else who will make you happier. Basically all of my friends are on their second marriage and have been in them long-term and that's the marriage that has stuck. Usually because their first marriage was like mine where they got together young and then changed as a person.

Nearest AMC is $10 for standard and $13 for real 3D. That's where I usually go since it's like 1 mile from my house.

Nearest Cinemark is $10.50 for standard, $13.50 for real 3D and $14 for XD. The Cinemark at Universal which I guess is technically closer but I never go there because of parking and tourists charges an extra 25c per ticket.

Local family run cinema charges $8.50 a ticket. It's as close as the AMC but I've never been here, I probably should at some point.

The artsy theater that shows like old movies or classics or whatever is $12 a ticket.

Nearest Cinepolis is $13 which I feel is a lot cheaper than the last time I went. I want to say it was like $20 last time I went there before COVID

During the start of COVID they had a drive through cinema in a car par that was like $10 per car. Not sure if they still do that, we only went the once

EDIT: Pre-COVID I used to go exclusively on Tuesday and pay $5 per ticket but it seems they stopped doing this after COVID. I also realized I forgot about the cinema downtown which was like $8 per ticket.

There's like 8+ cinemas within an 8 mile radius of me which I guess explains why they are rarely packed even pre-COVID
