  1. Great! Beats Walmart by a significant margin. I enter a Walmart store only if I am desperate.
  2. You can get it at Walmart for $46. Orbit Irrigation LCD Single Port Hose Digital Hose Faucet Timer
  3. Something like this? You just put it in the line to the sprinkler. Admittedly, I have no experience with this.

    Who is the guy on the left?
  5. We have two, one for the front yard (1/3 acre) and one for the back yard (1/2 acre). Both are made by Hunter; they look like this: They are mounted in the garage and have wires going to a valve box (again, one for the front, one for the back). In each valve box is a manifold which distributes the water to 6 stations (3-4 sprinkler heads per station). The timer has multiple options to program it. The timers were never a problem. Our sprinkler heads are another story. We have manganese rich well water, and we have to clean them at least once a year. You have to do this on a warm summer day, because you will get wet.

    I also thought Chico, but it is actually Harpo. And she looks like Drew Barrymore, but is probably much older.

    Bingo! Yes, Groucho. And which of his brothers is the other guy?

    Not George Burns, although he also smoked cigars. And much older than Norman Fell.

    Not Lancaster, although they did movies (together, without the dog). No gangsters. Not Our Gang, but...

    Who is the kid on the left? For a bonus, you can also give me the other kid. You do not have to identify the dog.
  17. From the official policy "The foundation is laid with strict guidelines in the players’ own homes. They must always consider their own health, therefore showing responsibility for their team and all people. Crowds of people are to be avoided, they are to stay at home and in their own family. Just as millions of people are currently doing, they should pay attention to common hygiene measures." More can be found here: https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/hygiene-concept-explained-dfl-taskforce-season-restart-coronavirus-11150 It should be noted that the policy was developed before the re-start. Since last weekend, the restrictions have been relaxed a bit. E.g., the substitute players on the bench do not have to wear masks anymore, as long as they practice social distancing. There is even talk about having some fans in the stadium for the German Cup final at the end of June. I do not know if the relaxation of the restrictions also addresses the social life of the players and coaches. Interestingly, some players see it as advantage to play in an empty stadium. Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich, German National Team): “The positive thing is you can speak to everybody and maybe the focus is more on the game. It’s not like a show.”
  18. One reason to be optimistic: The Bundesliga (1st and 2nd soccer division in Germany; 36 teams) has been back in action for a month now. The players are frequently tested - so far no new case of the virus. The main change - no fans in the stadium.
  19. There were personal statements by members above in the thread that their awareness has changed.
  20. That was 2018. Although I do not pretend to know how Jim Brown feels about the issue now, the recent events have changed many people's minds.
  21. Some credit goes to KEXP - their AV presentation is top-notch.

  23. The musical piece itself starts around 12:00.
  24. Thanks. That is certainly a valid explanation. It leaves the question why in some studies the patients have sufficiently high endogenous zinc levels, but not in others. We obviously need more data here. But sufficiently high zinc levels are necessary anyway - alcohol dehydrogenase needs zinc.
  25. First, let me say that I am all for clinical trials with HCQ and zinc. But I have a question if I may. Are you aware that the original French study by Raoult's group which first described the positive effects of HCQ on covid patients did not use zinc either, just HCQ or HCQ with azithromycin. Why were they successful?
