  1. Movies / TV Shows - I Have Watched / Plan To Watch

    It really is a fantastic film.  It's set during the war, but it's not actually a war film really.  There is so much more to it.  It should only be watched in the original German and it would make no difference if you didn't understand one word of German.

    It really is timeless.  I came out in 1981 when I was in high school and you watched it 30+ years later when you were in hight school.

    Awesome!!

    You're too kind. 😂

    Did something tonight I had been hoping to pull off. Waited until Mavis Staples, the opening act, took the stage and tickets on the secondary market dropped like a rock. Picked up row 34 center stage (face value over $100) for $40 each and then the Mrs. and I boogied over to Red Rocks and parked in the distant paw paw patch. Caught a taxi up the hill ($10) and made it to our seats to catch Mavis end her set with "I'll Take You There".  Then we watched Bonnie Raitt, who is an American Treasure, and her band put on an excellent show. We headed out before the encore and hoofed it downhill about 15 minutes walking and beat the traffic that was just emerging. Time to walk the dog and get into bed for work tomorrow.  

    Getting the hang of this living in Colorado business...

    That hill up to Red Rocks is no joke!

    Right?  Forty bucks?  I mean, it's not a small amount of money, but it's not life-changing, either...

    Certainly not life changing, but for $40 I want a bottle of whiskey, not syrup! Although the syrup might last longer... 🤷‍♀️

    Parrots are crazy loud.  

    Our next door neighbors had 8 of them at one point. Most knew some words and phrases.  Some of them were rather colorful. The looks on peoples faces walking by were priceless.

    I’ll accept this.

    8 parrots?? I don't know what would possess anyone to do that on purpose, lol.

    Bonus complaint: I spent an outrageous amount of money on a bottle of whiskey maple syrup at a farmers market last week because I committed to buy after tasting without asking the price first and didn't want to look cheap by changing my mind. I've decided the only acceptable use for it is to make maple old fashioneds.

    I use iPhone and use a free app, Compress Photos, or something like that.

    They are easy/intuitive to use.

    Share that *****. We have hard lives. We need to see nice things.

    I have an Android phone, but there must be something similar... Lemme see what I can find.

    Billie Eilish: 🤢🤮🤢, she may be the worst thing ever 😂😂

     

    I may go see Coheed and Cambria in Pittsburgh next month, and My favorite artist Dermot Kennedy, was cancelled becuae he was Touring with Shawn Mendes, and Mendes got all sad and cancelled shows. 

     

    😂 I expected this reaction from at least one person! I don't like her second album nearly as much as her first, but she and her brother really are incredibly talented. But to each their own! 🙂

    This an interesting collection of shows. My oldest was big into TOP for a while - I enjoyed their music and became aware that their live shows are an experience.

    ---

    I was always aware of TOP and enjoyed their music, but I never really paid much attention to the lyrics or listened to anything outside their radio hits before. Level of Concern sent me down the rabbit hole when I found myself with excess free time during the lockdown in 2020. Such very talented and surprisingly deep artists (and yes, their live show was incredible). I'd never even heard of NF until I kept seeing his name come up in comments on TOP music reactions, but he's also prolific and an amazing artist who used music as a therapy to work through childhood trauma and turned it into an impressive career.

    Welcome back!

    Since you haven't followed much, the Sabres should be a treat this year.  They will at least be mediocre with an outside chance of competitively good.  (Eat it Avs. 😉 )

    Nope.

    The Sabres drove you and many other away with 10+ years of crap.

    You always have a home here.

    It's too bad that your new (well not so new) home State and the Rockies / Nordiques run to the cup did not even bring you back into the good ol' hockey game.  It's the best game you can name, eh.

    I'm glad that a shout out pulled you back in.  Try to get back into it and stick around here.  You are always welcome here.

    The Sabres are finally showing signs of life.

    How are you doing?  Hope all is well.

    Aww, I ❤️ you guys and I think it's awesome anyone still remembers me after all this time. It's very cool to see so many familiar "faces" (and the mobile site looks great, SDS). I just felt like I didn't have anything to contribute since I was primarily posting in the off-topic threads. It was already more difficult to follow the games with the time difference, but the team wasn't exactly fun to watch, either. Maybe I'll give them another try this fall.

    I just don't think it is as simple as 20% gives you heard immunity. I think it far more likely that the 20% who would be infected because they do dumb things or are more susceptible are. A 20% infection rate for a disease is high but that hitting it doesn't mean heard immunity. Basically I think the concept of heard immunity is being misrepresented or was in the report I saw on the 20% rate. This was the article I saw on it and I get what the science and modeling shows but I think again the concept is being used incorrectly. Herd immunity really means that there are so many people that can't get sick from a disease that it doesn't spread. I just don't see how a 20% rate accomplishes that unless it corresponds to a 50% asymptomatic rate as well which would in essence get us up into that 70-90% area we like. Again, I could be wrong I am just skeptical of that modeling for now.

    Right you are; best estimates now based on ease of transmission suggest closer to 60% would be required for herd immunity:

    This is a long read, but an interesting post-mortem on how the initial messaging and response to COVID cases was done well and poorly in Seattle vs NYC:

    Sorry I've been MIA, all; my lab is actually running COVID tests (the PCR test for active infections) and we've been absolutely buried the last several weeks. Too much to realistically catch up on here, but I hope you and yours are healthy and safe.

    It’s too bad @biodorkisn’t active on this site any more.  Would be interesting to hear from additional voices with medical research experience.  Claude adds an interesting perspective to the conversation.

    Oh hai
