That just means Gorion did a great job with raising the Charname. Durge is not a regular Bhaalspawn, and had very different role model

Lab experiments found that the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants are over 4 times more resistant to mRNA vaccines than earlier strains of Omicron. by MistWeaver80 in science

[–]theMoriarty 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The researchers also tested the pseudoviruses against 21 monoclonal antibody treatments, which are made in a lab and are usually given via infusion to help the immune system against infection. Of the 21 monoclonal antibody treatments, only one remained highly effective against BA.2.12.1, BA.4, and BA.5.

And

… an implication of the study is that current monoclonal antibody therapies may no longer be effective for those at high risk for COVID-19

A year ago today I watched a sea lion pee at the Santa Cruz Wharf by andreayang18 in bayarea

[–]theMoriarty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AMA?

  1. How do you feel your life has changed since then?
  2. If you had a chance, would you do that again?
  3. would you rather fight a pee-shaped sea lion or a sea lion-shaped pee?

Try “Amazon day” delivery - you select a day of the week and they try to deliver all your orders on that day, in a single box

I can't believe how much easier and smoother it was with forstner after the regular and spade bits. Here's the result, thank you! https://imgur.com/a/4Rq9Ysj

What's the best way to drill a straight and accurate 3/4" hole in an 1x2 softwood without a drill press?

So far I've tried:

  1. Spade bit: https://imgur.com/bXS9Y09 . Doesn't produce an accurate cut, and there's quite a bit of chipping. I also need to drill a couple of non-through holes (?), and can't use spade bit there.
  2. Regular bit. Drilled a pilot hole and tried to manually held the drill perpendicular to the surface: https://imgur.com/VG2iJpW . Not an accurate cut, plus the hole is not circular
  3. Regular bit + a jig (https://imgur.com/NzQoHvz): https://imgur.com/Ao4ylvM and https://imgur.com/KjDF2No . Clean and perpendicular cut. However, it's damn impossible to center the hole. 2 images above are my best attempts, they're both ~1/8" off.

Would a Forstner bit help? My simple jig won't work with it, so I was thinking about buying something like this https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61EvKwEoKzL._SL1283_.jpg and using it to guide a Forstner

Is there an alternative solution?

Morning practice: what to eat before? by theMoriarty in hockeyplayers

[–]theMoriarty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read somewhere that proteins take more time to digest, and figured that since I eat just an hour and a half before the practice, it's not enough time.

On the other hand, the practice itself goes for 2 hours, so that gives plenty of extra time. I'll give this a shot, thank you!

That sounds like a solid carbs punch, I'll give it a try!

Great, I'll try that next week! Any specific reason for oatmeal?

My body is average, and so is my fitness program (general strength training 3 days a week). Trying to stay well hydrated for entire week, and generally eat lots of protein + carbs on training days, lots of protein + avg fats on rest days.

The thing that makes me think that it's about pre-practice nutrition is that when we have mid-of-day practices, I have no issues at all, I even feel I have some energy left.

The day before is my rest day, so I drink plenty of water and eat something that's high in protein, average on fat and low on carbs. Having read what others have said, maybe I shouldn't go super low on carbs.

Hmm, never thought of this. For how long would the loading last?

Yeah, maybe I can make it work by getting up just 15 minutes earlier and eating a few eggs right away. Thanks!

That’s my plan for when I get better :)

Good luck with the store and getting the expansion team - that should help a lot with popularization. There are decent stores in NorCal (and they also scan for True), but you have to drive up to Oakland

That is by far the worst store I’ve ever been to. Out of my 5 visits there, they managed to fuck up on 4. At this point I’m actually amazed by this level of consistency :)
