No, we're going to the beach.

I bet the Raptors could land Lavine without much trouble.

Charlotte also came to mind, but I don't think it makes any sense. I would just enjoy watching LaMelo and Lavine.

We go nowhere and do nothing, now.

However, our daughter's finally old enough that traveling is less of a pain, so we're going to go on our first real vacation this winter.

This is close to what I was expecting the Bucks to look like this season.

Where do you think Lavine might go? My guess is always LA for him, but I also think he might work in Orlando.

It'll be another embarrassment if they don't.

That's pretty normal after firing the OC. You have to imagine the replacement has been pretty frustrated with all the same stuff as everyone else and at least had some improvements in mind.

Agreed.

One of the things working against normal people is not really knowing how to do the data analysis that would demonstrate a link. Every so often, I see someone present interesting suggestive evidence that they take to be conclusive. Generally, they don't want to hear about all the extra work that has to be done to make a robust causal claim.

It would be like making you eat a cast to treat your broken arm.

The other big issue is that they've never tested the combinations of vaccines or timing of injections. That's a lot of medical treatments to give children without looking into adverse interactions.

Normal people can't comprehend the slowness with which the federal bureaucracy moves. My biggest concern is that they'll run out of time, even if they try to do something good.

That famous study, which I've heard was not the first (but this isn't my area), was debunked by demonstrating evidence of fraud (IIRC).

What bothers me is that people bring up this paper as evidence that vaccines have no connection to autism, when it is nothing of the sort.

It's a strong sign that their goals are not the same as ours.

Naturally

That's all I'm really expecting. Anything else will be a bonus.

I'm glad to hear ~science is getting more action.

Wait, what happens if @anon wins?

I know, but every time there's a new mention of nukes people's ears perk up.
