  1. With good reason, it would seem! Allow the man to buy groceries and look what chaos breaks loose!
  2. @Further might recommend with your mouth. Butter, garlic, herbs, lemon juice is what I’d add?
  3. I believe there were relay stations, so the message would either go further west or get diverted to a wire going south at some point? If my knowledge base on Bugs Bunny cartoons is correct, turns at Albuquerque may or may not have been involved?
  4. Looks like the monoclonal antibodies are recommended, when available, even for breakthrough infections, shortening illness duration by 4 days. Tennessee is going the route of NOT giving them to vaccinated people, due to shortages, figuring the unvaccinated are at higher risk of disease progression. Fortunately, we don’t have such scarcities.
  5. So reduction of need for ER or hospital admissions from 9% to 3% of cases. Although I assume this data is from unvaccinated patients. Will seek what the benefits are for a previously vaccinated group.
  6. So my work employee health said monitor symptoms but ok to work if symptom free. I’m gonna play it safer and work from home until a negative test midweek. My boss Ok’d it.
  7. My wife’s position is the only one of it’s type in the city given the specialization of their work. She could chose to do something else, but it would be a major change if she did.
  8. I was also looking at all the people on the train last night who were ignoring the mask mandate. Feeling guilty, because I learned my exposure status while at the game. Masked, of course, but incredulous of so many people’s indiscretion.
  9. Now every normal experience is being micro-analyzed in my mind. Slight scratchy throat? From yelling at the football game, or Covid? I slept poorly with cats crawling on me on the couch last night. Slight headache, sleep deprivation, or Covid? This sucks. I’ve proposed to my boss that I work from home, test on Wednesday and return to work when/if that resolves negative. I think our official work guidelines are “watch symptoms” and report to work in person unless symptomatic, but that seems too cavalier to me. My wife’s been offered monoclonal antibodies for Tuesday. Now to research the risk/benefits associated with them. 🤬😷😤😞😢
  10. Did Vonnegut’s son develop schizophrenia? It’s heavy use is clearly linked with development of psychosis *in susceptible individuals*. But people with mental illness also abuse drugs more than the general public. That’s also true in depression. And there’s a big continuum between occasional use and heavy use.
  11. Depression isn’t listed as a medically indicated use of Marijuana in my state, although anxiety is. If your depression results in anxiety, sleeplessness and loss of appetite, logic suggests it could be beneficial. Different strains have different effects, of course. Some more energizing, some more mellow or sedating.
  12. Yes, that does surprise me very much. In North America?
  13. When was the last time we missed our post quota?
  14. You’re thinking it could make the seat post more shock absorbent? I was thinking it would make the seat stays stiffer. Maybe both could be true, I don’t know.
  15. Of the night the US Air Force dropped two atomic bombs on North Carolina. Inadvertently, of course, but wow. And that one of the pilots, an African American who survived the B52 crash was arrested on suspicion of having stolen the parachute when he returned the the gates of the base. Apparently he’s the only pilot to ever survive a non-ejection seat departure from a B52. 😳 https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/remembering-night-two-atomic-bombs-dropped-on-north-carolina
  16. Raymond appears to be about 10 miles south of Lockport. It looks lovely, but susceptible to a lot of snow.
  17. What am I looking at? The dog? My kids call their mother’s parent Oma and Opa as well. I prefer to call her mother “Grossmutter.”
  18. 350 a day seems like a relatively easy target to reach. Do we sometimes fall short?
  19. The use of disc brakes makes the geometry of the seat stays very interesting. It’s partially noticeable on the smaller cannodale frame. I don’t know if it makes a difference in handling, but it looks stiff!
  20. I use pepper. My sister buys it regularly at stores in Northern Virginia.
  21. It’s tragic. But I imagine the airport races are thought to be safer than street racing on an uncontrolled road where other traffic, while unexpected, could come in the way?
  22. My mother is writing a book about her family’s history, from arrival at Jamestown through settlement in Texas around the Civil War. She’s trying to get it published by the University of Texas, as as her grandfather was a significant architect of courthouses in the @jsharr and @KrAzY region of Texas. It’s history that would be lost if it wasn’t for her interest in the subject. Many fortunes made and lost along the way, from the impact of both the American Revolution and Civil War, primarily.
  23. Cats approve of my new basement sleeping arrangements. Climbing all over me, purring, snuggling in. The 3rd, our Bad Black Cat, is nowhere to be found. Until I open a can of cat food. Then she’s Ms. Dependable.
