We actually just moved up to Portland, Oregon. But, as a lifelong Mariners fan I've been to the Coliseum a couple times a year while we lived there to watch my M's play. Worst place I've ever watched baseball, but what I would give to get in the sun in Oakland right now and drink a few beers...

On Tuesday, I will get to go with my wife and receive our first doses of the Pfizer vaccine. I will be given the second dose a week before my 35th birthday. This is truly a blessing that I live in this country at this time. I can't wait for everyone else to get their doses and we can get back to...

I mean at this point, sars-cov-2 is endemic. It's a virus that has an animal reservoir so we're kind of stuck with it. I still think that vaccines and boosters are going to do a damn-good job at making the complications of covid-19 significantly less serious. If we train the body to recognize...

I used to work in politics, but then went in to digital strategy. Now I lead a strategy practice at a small agency that works for nonprofits and higher education clients.

I can't wait for this one! Because of the covid economy, I haven't had the time or money to get up much this year in real life so would love to get some time in the simulator to scratch the itch.

You can always wait! The earth is spinning under the ISS as the ISS is moving so at some point the orbital path of the ISS will align with KSC. With some judicious use of time acceleration ('t' to speed up and 'r' to slow down), you'll find a good launch window. You can see the time to node in...

It's been really eye opening to see how weak the people who want to 'remove the weak' actually are. They spend their whole life prepping for the apocalypse but can't even go without a haircut for 8 weeks.

Poor X Æ A-12... without his parent's billions, he might actually have to go to a school where kids make fun of his name.

I live in Alameda County and this enrages me. His and his stockholder's networth could go slightly down so he is willing to break the law and put the safety of his workers on the line. When his workers get sick and need COVID assistance, you better believe that the county and state governments...

If only the FAA would make my next checkride self-evaluation...

ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT OUR PRESIDENT ISN'T A MEDICAL SAVANT? :jawdrops: I really, really wished it worked but we're still in early days with this virus and there are going to be many other drugs that look good in small studies and fall apart completely in trials. I think it's important that we...

Seven years? Where does time go? Bring back the call-in shows.

There are some really encouraging signs on the horizon. Johnson & Johnson are about to begin mass-production of their vaccine candidate at their own risk so that if it passes clinical trials they can begin rapid distribution. Other companies like Moderna are looking to get into Phase 2 trials...

Also, I think schools have these adults who work in them. I can't remember what they call them... teachers, maybe? So Ron DeSantis says, "Educators are disposable in Florida." COVID-19 is a sickness. The GOP is a cancer.

The IHME modelling says we are still narrowing in on peak resource usage https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections. The growth curve does appear to be hitting the logarithmic apex (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/). What it looks like is that we are hitting a plateau. I...
