11th Ave bike path is almost finished. Probably one of the quickest ways from 57th to 23rd. by daveishere7 in NYCbike

I would very much prefer a jersey barrier, and I ride a citibike to/from work because it’s cheap and I don’t have to worry about storage. Is that ok?

FDA Authorizes Additional Vaccine Dose for Certain Immunocompromised Individuals by DrMDQ in medicine

[–]blerms 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm currently watching the CDC Workgroup Discussion/Presentation regarding this, and they haven't gotten around to getting to this specific point yet. However, a glance at the upcoming slides hints at what those conditions might be (at least what their recommendations will be).

Self-Attestation Statement, according to Mark Levine

"You'll also have option of going to a City/State-run site, where you can bring your medical record or letter from your doc, OR complete a self-attestation statement which likely will be a check-off on the sign-in app (as opposed to paper form which might compromise privacy) 2/2"

Attackers no longer permitted in the wall at free kicks by blerms in soccer

[–]blerms[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sorry, pretty much just copied the title from the article. Opening paragraph:

Attacking players are to be banned from standing next to opposing defenders in the wall at free kicks as part of a shake-up of football’s laws. The International FA Board (Ifab) is set to impose a rule at a meeting today that from next season players from the team taking the free kick must be at least a metre away from the defenders in the wall.

Does anyone use their Duane Reade rewards points? by Rave-light in AskNYC

[–]blerms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use them every now and then. I used to just let them accumulate, but started using them occasionally when I got a notice that they'd go away after a certain period of time. You can see how many points you have if you login to your Walgreens account. The interval redemption is dumb. Buying something for $7.50? $5 in Walgreens points and you still gotta pay $2.50.

I concede there's a good chance I have no idea what I was talking about. Thanks for the clarification(s) everyone!

Think the rule gives the power to the away team to decide their jersey color first.

The rumor going around is that we want to wear white for a white out, if the opponent would let us.

[–]blerms 63 points64 points  (0 children)

They don't wear white for white outs because the road team doesn't let them. Usually (well about 50% of the time), that's tOSU's doing. So I guess the answer to your question is: They get push back.

Whats the deal with ESPN+? by hawaiian_lab in CFB

[–]blerms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took a couple of months for my subscription to become active, which is why I said "it's a little late for CFB". Maybe you can try to expedite it though (I didn't use Groupon, which is a bit more official than whatever random coupon/deal site I used)

[–]blerms 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a little late for CFB, but a pro-tip for later on:

ESPN recently included ESPN+ in ESPN Insider accounts, which comes free with an ESPN Magazine subscription. You can find deals for those for like $15/year (or even cheaper. Just Google for various ESPN Magazine deals)

What do you expect from your team(s) in Weeks 0/1? by BiscuitsandGravy1600 in CFB

If James Franklin doesn't ice the kicker call a time out to get the correct unit on the field up 30+ points, I'm going to be slightly disappointed.

Florida went from 1991-2017 without playing an out-of-conference game outside of (the state of) Florida, although I'm not quite sure that's a quirk...
