    VF21

    She never really slapped me on the hand, but she did message me one time about things she knew as a relative insider, which were completely relevant to the subject under discussion, but which she didn't think should be publicly posted. Putting that sort of effort into community building is...

    Coronavirus

    Yeah, I don't hold Gobert responsible for the other cases, and I know he has apologized. I just can't unsee how I saw him acting, so I may be able to forgive him, but thinking that he's not a fool might take a bit longer.

    Coronavirus

    With asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic carriers, little testing, and slow public awareness of how quickly it was moving, having spread it a couple of weeks ago isn't necessarily blameworthy anyway. A lot has changed since then. Gobert's still an irresponsible jerk, though. What a horrible example.

    News from France, where they're a bit farther along the curve than most of the US: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.leparisien.fr%2Fsociete%2Fcoronavirus-c-est-plus-grave-que-prevu-12-03-2020-8278890.php

    Depends on the bonds. I did the same some time ago, since I thought stocks were irrationally overpriced and that a major correction was in the works. As of right now, my retirement account is +.83% for the calendar year.

    Coronavirus

    Most people who die of it, don't do so until close to three weeks after they're infected. That skews things an awful lot.

    Coronavirus

    At least part of the asymptomatic carrier problem isn't that they never show symptoms, but that 10% of those infected only show symptoms two weeks later. 10-20 percent of people infected will require hospitalization. Kids under age 8 seem to be shrugging it off pretty well, but most older...

    Coronavirus

    Out here in Sonics territory, it is really scary right now. Washington had 99 new cases today, 101 the day before that, but hundreds of other infected people still untested. Also, it's in *ten* nursing facilities in the Seattle area now. We figure we have one to two weeks before our health...

    [Game] Kings @ Grizzlies - 28 FEB - 5PT/8ET

    I can't be watching tonight, but are both teams playing tough defense, shooting really badly, or both?

    Boogie come home?

    I try to only worry about things I think might happen. I'm doubtful that it will, so won't try to decide whether it should or not.

    Rehashing Joerger...again (split)

    IIRC, the ASB was well after the FO had declined to renew any of his assistants' contracts. The writing was already very much on the wall by then.
