People are wacky. The 2 most popular conspiracy theories about the Lytton B.C. town burning are 1) a giant space laser or 2) Bill Gates used a train - decline Jul 20, 11:39 10
- Some of the theories contradict each other! I think Milhouse can best summarize things... -- (pic) - Mop Jul 20, 12:12 [Attachment]
- Firepiercer -- nm - Dano Jul 20, 12:08
- I love when conspiracies fall down because they didn't think of a name that want directly related. "My name? It is, uh, Forrest... Tower. Damnit" - Reagen Jul 20, 11:49

DTL: well I hope the school at least got a fat check from that game. - spamlet Jul 20, 10:59 3
- I'm noticing some lopsided results in the early games this cycle ... my team is good for sure but a 28pt margin of victory in 4 games is a surprise. -- nm - rollo Jul 20, 11:26
- Heh, it happens. First season, I got crushed by 45 by a conference opponent. Made some adjustments for rematch and lost by 71. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 20, 11:04 1

Jesus. "Terrifying footage shows commuters trapped inside subway train as floodwaters rise to shoulder level" -- (link) - mara Jul 20, 10:28 9
- Yeah, I'm not gonna watch that video. -- nm - Mop Jul 20, 11:38 5
  - Even this post is making me panic. -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 12:09 3
    - All the footage from the flooding in Henan province is frankly terrifying. -- nm - mara Jul 20, 12:11
    - its not so bad as everyone seems calm, americans would be climbing over everyone else to claw the doors off. -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 20, 12:11 1
      - Yeah, even though the water outside the doors was a foot higher. - Spawn Jul 20, 12:13

SITWAP? : A White House official and a senior Pelosi aide, both fully vaccinated, have tested positive for COVID-19 -- (link) - oblique Jul 20, 10:22 41
- I did two trips to the grocery store without a mask, went right back to wearing one for every venue. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 10:55 26
  - I generally mask in stores and such. Haven't really stopped there. Not in restaurants (when I go to them), since it just seems silly when I take it - pmb Jul 20, 11:56
  - I never stopped masking and I don't plan to in near future. -- nm - Diva Jul 20, 11:30 3
    - I'm ready to burn my mask, but don't because some places still require it. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 20, 11:48 2
      - I'd love to not have to use one, but there is still too much stuff out there and entirely too many new cases and variants. -- (edited) - Diva Jul 20, 11:55
      - And more will with today’s announcement -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 11:55
  - I'm masking indoors again. Delta is the majority of cases, and breakthroughs clearly happen. - Dark Callisto Jul 20, 11:14 4
    - Yep, same here -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 11:35
    - The vaccine does not keep us from getting it, but it hopefully makes the illness of a minor nature. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 11:24 2
      - True. I worry about long-term effects, so I'm just being extra careful. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 20, 11:42 1
        
        Oh. 1,000%. Just saying, so many people think vaccinated = bullet-proof. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 11:46
  - I'm mostly masking indoor again, but not because I'm concerned of a major illness if it break through. Rather I have trips coming up. - ty97 Jul 20, 10:56 15
    - same, it's the other things: potential long haul complications, transmission to my nieces who are about to go back to school - Max Jul 20, 10:59 1
      - Yeah, exactly. I'm not canceling my trips. I haven't gone back into lockdown. I'm living pretty normally. Just wearing mask inside. -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 11:01
    - now you're making me concerned - oblique Jul 20, 10:57 12
      - Not trying to make anyone concerned, that's just my approach right now! - ty97 Jul 20, 10:59
      - You only have to test internationally. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 10:58 10
        
        Cancun, August 23rd... -- nm - oblique Jul 20, 11:00 8
        
        Oh gotcha. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 11:02 7
        
        Although I don't think we have to test prior to flying to Mexico but they do ask questions -- nm - oblique Jul 20, 11:03 6
        
        Yeah, rules vary by country. You do have to test to come home though -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 11:04 5
        
        Interesting. Thanks. -- nm - oblique Jul 20, 11:05 4
        
        To be clear, you will have to get a negative test in Mexico. - ty97 Jul 20, 11:06 3
        
        It's the Hyatt all-inclusive. I would hope so :) -- nm - oblique Jul 20, 11:08 2
        
        At the resort we go to in Cancun they're doing the test there. I assume a lot of the hotels have that capacity. -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 11:23
        
        You may want to check before you go. We booked the test at our result in Aruba before we left. They were full when we got there. - spamlet Jul 20, 11:12
        
        This is true. But if I came down with a 'cold' a few days before a flight, I'd certainly get tested to know. - ty97 Jul 20, 11:00
- I hate these stories cause it just gives more ammo to the right and anti vaxxers -- nm - eag Jul 20, 10:53 4
  - Last night on his show Hannity apparently urged his viewers to get vaccinated, which surprised me. -- nm - MDH Jul 20, 10:56 2
    - Good - znufrii Jul 20, 11:37
    - Just because he's helped murder thousands of others, but let that one kid live, doesn't make him any less of a monster. At all. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 20, 11:21
  - It is immensely frustrating. If I respond, I just pull out the 99% of deaths/hospitalizations are from unvaccinated people. I'll take my 5-10% - oblique Jul 20, 10:56
- we're so f*cked. so many breakthrough cases. note that on nj.com this weekend, I saw that "sneezing" is a symptom of breakthrough. -- (link) - amanda jeans Jul 20, 10:51 7
  - If the breakthrough cases are just like a minor cold or even less than the vaccine did it's job, right? - ty97 Jul 20, 10:55 5
    - yes I guess so. but without vaccination numbers in the 80s or 90s, if I have a breakthorugh case, I can get a lot of others sick. -- nm - amanda jeans Jul 20, 11:23
    - As of July 12, 5492 hospitalizations or deaths out of 159M fully vaccinated. -- (link) - mara Jul 20, 11:07 1
      - 0.0035%. (1 in 28,500) I like my odds. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 20, 11:11
    - Precisely. Twas always the goal to nix the severe cases not reduce case count to zero. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 20, 11:06
    - Exactly. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 10:57
  - it feels like a lot because they all seem to get reported on but the % are staying in line with expectations. 5-10% -- nm - oblique Jul 20, 10:54
- Man takes vaccine. Man gets virus. Vaccine kills virus. Man creates dinosaurs. Dinosaurs kill man. Dinosaurs are god. -- nm - rollo Jul 20, 10:45

The traditional Olympic opening parade of nations is one of my favorite things in life. It's the true nature of world peace. - Max Jul 20, 10:02 6
