You and me both.

A more pedestrian friendly campus *and Denton, as a whole* is a great idea. Broadly speaking, there's a place for cars, but that place isn't everywhere.

The founders intended for rights to be settled at the Federal level, at least for those they considered to be worth giving rights to when our founding documents were originally assembled. They were on the right path by setting certain things there and not openly ascribing the federal government power since, hell, they saw what Britain's gameplan was in addition to wanting to set a level playing field for every American. But as forward-thinking as they were, they couldn't foresee every possibility in the future. Amendments had to be put in place to set forth rights at the federal level because states many wouldn't do so on their own. This (depending on the case) was either because those groups receiving the rights couldn't actually vote or weren't considered to be valuable enough to be given any rights, much less the right to vote, or their votes were minimized in power. There's also a giant leap between granting medical privacy rights and the Soviet Union. In fact, providing privacy rights is something the Soviet Union (and right now, the Russian Federation, as Putin is borrowing heavily from the playbook he probably helped write) would actually frown upon.

May he be our own Coach K.

McNulty was just...probably one of the worst I've seen at UNT, and I saw Daniel Meager play here.

With the sort of lockdown D that got a Heart of Dallas Bowl win.

Looks like between SWIFT and the Russian Central Bank cutoffs, the Ruble is taking a value dive and upsetting the civilian population. Some are doing bank withdrawals and exchanging for other currencies. It would also seem Hungary won't allow weapons to Ukraine to pass through its borders.

Oh lordy, no. This is like, a flag code abomination and it's just nasty on the eyes. UNSAT.

Agreed. He heavily leaned on Fine and failed to find even a suitable replacement and develop one. We all loved seeing Fine on the field, but I'm certain I wasn't the only one worried that he was still on the field well after a game was decided.

It's been a long road, ya know?

That set of throwbacks was so sharp. It made the win all the more sweet.

That's gonna be a big problem as there aren't jobs for many to return to right now.

Ouch. That's both morally bankrupt and fully ignores the science of disease spread. A virus that pops up in 188 countries isn't worried about politics and borders.

Oh I got it, but I'm not funny enough to back you up with the right follow up.

I can answer fine arts done remotely. In fact, I have a client that's moving most of her business that way. Lessons can be pre-recorded or done via video call. Photos or footage of the projects can be sent to the instructor. Supplies can be sent or picked up by each student, purchased by the school as normal. Individual instruction can be done with branched calls or separate calls.

I'm aware, just overstating a need for solutions that'll work. There's no way to go back and fix mistakes from the beginning of this, it's a matter of not letting it get worse when it doesn't need to.

I just hope they've got a bulletproof plan to keep students, faculty and staff safe.

New Zealand, Italy, Taiwan, really any country that managed to get their case counts under some kind of control. If we can't borrow things wholesale, then small parts. Some of it might ask folks to things they aren't comfortable with, but if it saves lives and helps produce consistent economic activity in the long run, it'll probably be better than the start/stop we have here.

There's a lot of "we told y'all" going around right now and for good reason. I'm just glad masks are now a mandate, even if it's 4 months late.

Oof, now there's a push to cut federal funding for testing as we hit our highest case count. This is getting worse all while vaccines are still in testing, at best.

If you're a big company. Everyone else got screwed. Stop, regroup and try again, son.

The article is pretty slanted, but I've read similar on other outlets. Either the federal government isn't coordinating effectively and artificially creating a competition, or it's squirreling off supplies and then reselling them. Neither are good news. Edit: Stumbled upon this: https://www.wlrn.org/post/feds-seized-shipment-one-million-masks-miami-dade-say-officials?utm_term=nprnews&utm_campaign=npr&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com#stream/0

It's a bit of a mess, yeah. Hopefully the phased approach to opening things up helps, but there's still a need for widespread accurate testing. I've also got concern that holding off COVID-19 may end up being rationale to take less action in preparation for the next disease wave. It would be like winning a football game against a tough opponent and not stopping to take a look at game tape to see what you can learn for the next time you play them.

Lots of experts have talked about a second wave, so this no shock, even if still frightening. Looks like they're worried about the same thing Taiwan and South Korea are worried, too as they start to flatten out, but they're quarantining and testing incoming travelers so it should help.

Right. There are ripple effects to overloaded hospitals and hospital staff. Every case of COVID-19 that overloads an ICU is another medical emergency that can't be attended to.
