The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Re: CoronaBro Meltdown/SARS-Covid-19 Spitballing Thread

« on: August 20, 2021, 06:51:19 AM »

Our 1 shot or more in the US is approaching 200M people, that’s nearly 80% of the 18 and up population.  Surely if such a thing as herd immunity exists we have to be approaching it?

one shot is considerably less protective than two and even two doesn't completely prevent infection.  and last i saw two shot % was around 50% (all ages).

iirc, the r0 value for delta is thought to be like 6-8, something like that.  which would put herd immunity at like 85% or so.  so, basically never (unless we get more effective vaccines).

170 of that 200 is fully vaxxed and my assumption is if you got the one you will get the 2nd when it’s your turn.  Have to be getting close to reaching an “as good as it’s going to get” stage at least with current efficacy of vaccines like you say.

Staying a week in a Airbnb at St Augustine beach with my family in January, should be a good time.

Why are you saying he’s had one recruiting class and then saying his two recruiting classes have been better than Snyder?

21 isn't an indicator of how the staff is going to recruit, particularly in the context of the hit rate of the staff for those in for an official visit.

The way the class was trending before the OU and UT announcement 2022 was looking like a repeat of 2021 imo.  It will likely be considerably worse on the HS front now for obvious reasons.  I agree with you that he may be able to keep us relevant with transfers as this staff seems to be really good at landing instant impact guys.

This staff isn’t losing for lack of effort that’s for sure.  They have been 10X more active and innovative in their approach compared to Snyder.

Here is the thing, house prices are going to inflate in the next 12 months faster than your down payment fund likely will.  A 300k house right now is likely going to be 330k next November in the area you want to live in.

What are we going to do with the money that was appropriated for Afghanistan for the rest of 2021?  Maybe we can give our troops a raise.

In all seriousness I'd just move in with the family in Baldwin City, especially if it's less than a year

Just put in a brand new Casey’s, I think you are onto something here.

Hey there everybody! My wife and I are moving to the KC area from Arlington, Virginia, at the beginning of November and have not yet figured out where we are going to live. Most apartment complexes out that way don't know availability until 60 days out so we have a couple of weeks yet before we will have to make a commitment. I know a good portion of this board has either previously lived or currently live in that region and I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

Our preferred criteria:
- Within 45 minutes of Baldwin City (we have family there we want to be able to visit easily)
- Around $1000 per month is the goal - we currently pay much more than that and are hoping to save up for a down payment on a future home
- Two-bedroom preferably
- Near the 35 corridor
- Flexible leases - hoping to possibly sign a shorter lease in order to find a home and be done with apartment living

I look forward to hearing your suggestions! Thanks and #GoCats!

Welcome to Gardner,KS friend.   We are getting a Freddy’s and Culver’s soon, you will love it here.

Outside of the Taliban, the US corporations who sell supplies and war fighting gadgets have been big winners over the past 20 yrs. Would be interested to see a breakdown on which corporations pocketed the largest profits.

I’m sure Dick Cheney owns a stake in all of them

My expert TA says we are nearing the top of the channel and will probably see another 5-7% increase and then we back down to the low 40’s again for a period of time.

I’m legit surprised Joe is still kicking, I figured he would have bowed out by now if I’m being honest.

I haven’t been back to that crap hole since college. We did land two big recruits from there recently, so it’s a bit surprising he didn’t want to follow them there. I’m just astonished they’ve produced 3 P5 football players recently.

Silas Etter and who else?

Anyone know what happened to this guy? He was a lock for the cats then all of a sudden randomly committed to arKansas.

We are effectively a G5 team now,  he’s smart to go play in the SEC.
