I called this the day Newton was released by Carolina. I'm sure a lot of other people did, too, so I realize I'm not exactly Nostradamus here. Still, I never believed for one second that they were gonna go into the 2020 season depending on just Stidham and Hoyer. I predict they win 10 games (assuming there's a season).

The Gatehouse is on a similar wavelength. Garlic-parm fries, more of a vinegar-based pasta salad as opposed to mac salad (controversial to some, I'm sure, but it's a good change). Higher quality burger patties and meat sauce, and two big old onion rings on top. I was skeptical when a friend took me there after a long day traveling to and from a Bills win, but my skepticism quickly abated once I tried it. It was really good.

I'm a Grateful Dead fan, so this question had me searching through their songbook for anything under 3 minutes. Needless to say, you're more likely to find a 30 minute Dead tune than a 3 minute Dead tune. With that being said, here's a classic that fits the "under three" bill. Classic Pigpen:

Dogtown on Monroe Ave is #1 in my heart for garbage plates. And for a fancy pants version of a garbage plate, the Gatehouse in Village Gate Square is pretty damned good:

Dalai Lama (if I could get him to drink a beer, that is) Gary Snyder Bob Weir Norm Macdonald Larry David Good mix there, I think. Spirituality, wisdom, literature, music, comedy, and...whatever you consider Larry David to be. Even though you're clearly trying to make fun of me here.....I do like free beer.

2 Tampa Bay Bucs test positive for Covid-19
Logic replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/24/us/coronavirus-cases-protests-black-lives-matter-trnd/index.html Despite warnings from public health officials, new research suggests Black Lives Matter protests across the country have not led to a jump in coronavirus cases. A new study, published this month by the National Bureau of Economic Research, used data on protests from more than 300 of the largest US cities, and found no evidence that coronavirus cases grew in the weeks following the beginning of the protests. But by all means, please keep following me from thread to thread with your weird vendetta. -

Even if you use “cases per 100,000 people” metric, Oregon (now seeing its 29th straight night of protests) lags far behind the early re-opening states in COVID cases. By a lot. -

Actually, the spike in COVID numbers in states that held the largest protests pales in comparison to the spikes in red states that re-opened early and with no mask-wearing protocols, where people pack into bars and restaurants. Minnesota (where George Floyd was murdered) is adding about 250 cases a day. Oregon, which has seen 22 straight days of protests in Portland, some as large as 12,000 people, is adding about 160 cases a day. Meanwhile, Arizona, Texas, and Georgia are adding cases by the THOUSANDS every day. Too-early reopening in states with no mask protocols has been responsible for VASTLY more infections than masked protests. If you don’t believe me, go look at the numbers yourself. -
Does the NFL have a bubble plan? Covid rising
Logic replied to Ramza86's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not only what HardyBoy said, but if you are admittedly "unsure" about masks being effective but are choosing not to wear them, can you please stay home and not go into any public spaces ever? Because choosing not to wear a mask in public spaces puts OTHER PEOPLE in danger. So when you say "I just disagree, no problem"...Well...it IS a problem, because you're endangering the lives of others. It would be like if I said "ya know what? I've educated myself as I can about using using the 'safety' switch on my gun, and I just don't agree with it. So when we hang out in common spaces, I'm gonna walk around with my gun and not have the safety on. No Problem". You see? It IS a problem. It's not just YOU that is affected by this choice! -

Logic replied to Ramza86's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I stand by what I said. You're making a selfish choice. By the way, Below is a link to a recent study on the matter, which I just posted a link to above your post. And one more thing. Ya know all the other countries...ya know, the ones that have essentially beat COVID and are starting to return to normal life? Masks. They all wore masks. But sure, continue to ignore science and real world results and continue to pretend like there's actually a reasonable debate about effectiveness of masks in mitigating the spread of COVID. Knock yourself out. If everyone thinks like you do, maybe we'll get to have a football season sometime a couple years from now. God forbid you have to undergo a SLIGHT bit of discomfort by wearing a scrap of fabric over your face for a few months. https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/06/10/2009637117#sec-5 "Our analysis reveals that the difference with and without mandated face covering represents the determinant in shaping the trends of the pandemic worldwide. We conclude that wearing of face masks in public corresponds to the most effective means to prevent interhuman transmission, and this inexpensive practice, in conjunction with extensive testing, quarantine, and contact tracking, poses the most probable fighting opportunity to stop the COVID-19 pandemic, prior to the development of a vaccine. It is also important to emphasize that sound science should be effectively communicated to policy makers and should constitute the prime foundation in decision-making amid this pandemic" -

Even if, in your opinion, the science about masks is "unproven", that still means that you concede that there is a possibility that masks DO help. Like I said: If there's even a 10% chance that masks will help slow the spread of this virus and thus, save lives, and you're STILL choosing not to wear one, it's selfishness, pure and simple. You can say "it's just my opinion". The problem is that your "opinion" in this instance is leading you to do something that can potentially put other people's LIVES in danger. The FIRST LINE of the link you posted says that Fauci has been an immunologist for 34 years. But I suppose I'll believe you and the random Twitter friends you keep quoting instead of, ya know, experts in the fields of epidemiology and immunology. Let me repeat: This is the problem. Too many people think that their OPINIONS -- based on having spent about 10 minutes reading pseudo-science and lies from random dingbats on Twitter and not vetting these opinions to confirm their veracity -- are worth as much as those of trained experts and scientific studies. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahhansen/2020/06/13/masks-help-stop-the-spread-of-coronavirus-studies-say-but-wearing-them-still-a-political-issue/#1b8b343c604e https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/06/10/2009637117#sec-5 "Our analysis reveals that the difference with and without mandated face covering represents the determinant in shaping the trends of the pandemic worldwide.

I quoted an article from a national source that people have heard of, that includes results of studies that have been done on the subject. You, thus far, have quoted two tweets from some random people on Twitter with less than 1,000 followers. That's the problem our country currently faces in a nutshell: In many people's eyes, the opinion of some random lunatic on the internet counts for as much as scientific studies. "I've researched the subject" means "I read about it for 10 minutes on some guy's Twitter feed". People think their OPINIONS have as much weight as SCIENCE. That's the problem. -

Amen. Put it this way: If there's even a 10% chance that wearing a mask will help to slow or prevent the spread of the virus -- and make no mistake, the likelihood of masks helping in this regard is much higher -- I'm doing it. To refuse to wear a mask is to openly declare "I don't care about you or your health. My comfort is more important than your life". Period. That's all there is to it. Put aside your refusal to believe in science, your selfishness, your sense of entitlement, and just for ONE SECOND think about "we" rather than "me". It's a tiny scrap of cloth over your mouth for a few months, for Chrissakes. Grow up, stop being an ass, and do what needs to be done for the increased safety and health of our population, you self-centered dingbats! -

Well I know I'M not going to question the expertise of....*checks notes*....Twitter personality Savanah Hernandez? This nonsense has already been debunked. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahhansen/2020/06/13/masks-help-stop-the-spread-of-coronavirus-studies-say-but-wearing-them-still-a-political-issue/#25f1126b604e A new review published in The Lancet looked at 172 observational studies and found that masks are effective in many settings in preventing the spread of the coronavirus (though the results cannot be treated with absolute certainty since they were not obtained through randomized trials, the Washington Post notes). Another recent study found that wearing a mask was the most effective way to reduce the transmission of the virus. -

Von Miller, 17 days after testing positive, said he still felt like his lungs were not back to their normal capacity. And he's a lean, muscled up pass rusher. Think about the offensive linemen. Think about the coaches in their 70s. Think about people shaped like Andy Reid. That is simply not true. The increase in positive tests is NOT solely due to increased testing. Positive cases ARE on the rise. Community spread IS on the rise. People pretending that things are improving, rather than re-escalating, have their heads in the sand. There has been drastically less increase in positive COVID cases in states where large protests occurred (like Minnesota and Oregon, for instance) than in states that simply re-opened early and without mask-wearing mandates. Go compare Arizona, Florida, and Texas to Minnesota, Oregon, and DC and tell me what you see. -

Logic replied to Niagara Bill's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Refusing to read someone's response to you, insisting on replying to it anyway, then indicating you won't respond to any further replies to you, either. Yep, certainly SEEMS like reasonable, mature, non-hostile discourse. Feel free to @ me if you want to discuss the original topic at any point, rather than continuing to stubbornly insert your own topic of choice and respond dismissively to anyone who dares to disagree. -
Will Violence kill another revolution?
Logic replied to Niagara Bill's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Why even feed into the hijacking of this thread by people who clearly have no interest in discussing its original subject? Why facilitate and acquiesce to the apparent desire to re-direct a perfectly reasonable and worthy conversation toward subjects which have very little --if anything at all-- to do with what was originally being discussed? Collectivism vs Individualism is a completely different topic than "the impact of violence on revolutions". -
Will Violence kill another revolution?
Logic replied to Niagara Bill's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Your hostility toward others and your desire to take this discussion in a completely different direction than the one intended by the OP are bizarre. This thread is about the impact of violence on revolutionary movements, and you want to come in here talking about socialism and "my desired form of government"? As if you even KNOW what my desired form of government is, or as if it has ANY impact on what was originally being discussed? If you want to talk about the comparative merits of direct action vs peaceful protest, or of the impact of violence on revolutions, I'm all for it. If you want to continue down the path of condescension, arrogance, rudeness, and completely changing the subject to what YOU want to talk about, I'm out. Good day to you.
