Sorry I've technically had covid twice.   No I'm not getting vaxxed.  It is idiotic, it is a flu shot.  My covid experience was a headache.  No worries,people.  If I was 70 and obese I'd probably get the vax.

You read about people like this and wonder if they actually exist in real life.  

Imagine thinking you know more than the people who actually do know because some halfwit send you a link to a Youtube video  that touts some nonsense that was debunked a year ago and calling that "research". The hundreds of thousand of people who died probably had a headache too.

Yep that is the joke.  People trust scientists, because they are too dense to think for themselves.

OMG, did you actually say that?!

So my babysitter says she can design and build a bridge over the mighty Columbia River.

And a trained, experienced and respected engineer says she can build a bridge over the Columbia River.

Guess who's bridge I'm going to drive on?

Kinda weird how the amount of medical deaths per year haven't increased. I'm glad covid has gotten rid of cancer and the flu.  

Umm... you need to read some stats. 

Total Deaths in USA
2018 - 2.839 million
2019 - 2.854 million
2020 - 3.358 million

When we had 26K increase from 2018 to 2019, we had a 500K increase from 2019 to 2020. 

Age related deaths increased by 16% from 2019, but COVID accounted for most of that.

Here are some numbers from 2019...

And a typo that was corrected within a couple of minutes of being typed trumps a person who thinks that people only trust scientists because they are "too dense" think for themselves.

You are saying that a heart surgeon shouldn't waste time treating patients who haven't bothered to research their condition and heal themselves. You are a complete and utter fool.

I trust people, who know what I don't know, even when they don't know what I might or might not know.  Even when they admit what they know isn't what they know or might know.

I'm guessing you don't trust a teaching pro to give you golf lessons.  Because you already know more about the golf swing than he or she does...

And BTW, there's no comma between people and who.

Are you a heart surgeon?  If so I'd love to hear your thoughts on that type of surgery.  If not, you are just talking trash.  Also I haven't insulted anyone's character, while you have.  That is a sign of low character and intelligence.

You said this:

That makes you objectively stupid, ignorant, and lacking in character

You have insulted the character of people who aren't anti-vax morons by saying that they can't think for themselves and imply that they are compliant, obedient sheep. You are pretty much the definition of a fool.

You said earlier you'd probably get vaccinated if you were 70 and obese.  Short memory there, pal.

How do you reconcile your mis- information with the fact that many hospitals have had to add capacity to their morgues?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.

      Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.

      Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot.

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.
