    You well may be right.

    I'm fine giving it a shot right now as this is the first time DameCJ have had a different coach, first time the Blazers have had such a strong 5th starter, and best 6th man the Blazers have had in awhile.

    People also said a jump shooting team would never win a title like the Warriors did, Dirk would never win a title as a big who doesn't play defense, and Powell has a 6'11" winspan so maybe the core of this roster can contend. Then the team only needs an xfactor addition such as a breakout year from NAS, Simons, or another Roco/Nance type trade acquisition.

    If it doesn't look close to working out the Blazers can make a big trade at the deadline or even in the summer. I don't think Dame or CJ are losing a ton of value between now and then.

    We'll see what other stars are unvaxxed. Rumors are LeBron is, and these ordinances will change around the top 2-3 stars in the league. Kyrie? Durant? Harden? They will introduce exceptions to the ongoing rules.

    They always do. Money and fame trumps the science.

    It is. They met about 10ish years ago. I think they have some business deals with each other too.

    Science? Shows they are barely at risk and with breakthrough cases popping off the arguments for protecting others falls flat.

    Not really. I know that is what is being said but it really doesn't add up that way.

    Is it better than money and politics trumping science (the current state of things) ?

    If you got a new debit card with the same institution, the # doesn't change.

    it even has the new expiration date in my nba profile but I haven’t logged in since the year ended. I got this card last month after losing my wallet in Mexico

    I just assumed the payment would be declined and all would be good. They don’t give refunds either according to their site

    There's so much wrong with thst last part you said and why the vaccine is really here for but I'm not gonna delve further than that. Because it honestly should be common sense at this point when it comes to vaccines. If you don't know by now, then you're not looking.

    Most people don't realize their card companies have a convenience service that automatically updates merchants with the new number and expiration date. Not all do, but it's pretty common.

    wasn't it one of those convenience services for Mastercard that got hacked and gave out info on several million cardholders?
