Back At It

My loving wife and I got our first round of shots yesterday. Pfizer. So far the only side effect is I won't be throwing fastballs with my left arm. Which, being right-handed, is not a big deal.

Miss M, that is a feature and not a bug for Microsoft. If you purchase a new computer, they get a new Windows license fee. Convenient when a “fix” breaks your old computer, isn’t it?

henry,

I am not doing anything. I like having a desk-top which I can play videos on at night while I lie on my bed. (Office and bedroom are one.)

When we bought this computer my ex-husband needed it for business, so it had lots of power and storage capability, plus I have a large screen.

I have enough trouble with Kroger changing the format of their on-line ordering system.
If the fix HAS to be done, I will do so, but it seems to me that since I don't even understand WHY or the parameters, I had better wait a bit.

"If we mask and social distance every winter we will see a dramatic reduction in flu which usually causes hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and tens of thousands of deaths. I wonder if that will be the lesson from this."

First of all, "mask" is not a goddamn verb.

Second, this guy can go screw himself.

[MissMarple2]

James D.,

My sentiments exactly!

[Old Lurker]

Actually, "mask" can be a verb...like when a painter "masks" the trim before spraying.

amirite?

As to the second point, I third that emotion.

[Jim Eagle]

Howdy!

[clarice]

I mask only when required by law but the n95 ones we have give me sinus problems even if worn for just a few minutes. My son recommended Air Queen disposables--each can be used 10 times--they are double layered but thin and light. I used one yesterday when I got my second Pfizer shot and he was right..it's much more comfortable.(Got mine thru Amazon, but you might find them elsewhere.)

TM, glad you finally got your first one..I had no real probelms after either shot.

I still hope there is someone working on a vote-machine zapper which would force paper ballots.

[Old Lurker]

Clarice, I stand by my discovery from a year ago.

Start with the standard throw away blue masks.

Take a razor blade and spilt the seams under each fold. Done carefully, it is invisible to the Karens out there.

Narciso,

When I joined my husband in West Berlin in 1967, you were required to have an international vaccination record, which was a yellow booklet about the same size as a passport. I had to go to my doctor and get signatures that I had already been vaccinated for smallpox and polio, and had had a TB test.

When did those stop?

[Narciso]

When common sense died.

[sbwaters]

The old yellow vaccination booklet was yours alone. It was not stored in a central database and did not collect past travels.

I don’t mind the vaccination record. I mind the database. That needs to be opposed.

The Capitol police want a 20% increase in their budget. This is a thread on how much their budget already is and compares it to CITIES with comparable cost.

Not to be read by Old Lurker, whose head would explode.

[MissMarple2]

sbwaters,

That makes sense. I didn't know about the database. Probably a Bill Gates scheme.

[rse]

I have a similar problem to Clarice and it was my dentist who told me they are seeing a marked increase with people like me who have a toothache in molars only to discover the mask gives them a sinus infection.

I am prone to those anyway. My solution was to order cotton masks from Liberty of London. They come in a pack of 5, all different patterns, and they were here at my door less than a week after London, even with clearing customs.

They wash up well, are pretty, have become a yoga staple for the Diva, and one instantly went to Red's room. Have forgotten that pattern by now.

I also only wear when required and put it on and take off as going through the doors. At least the liberty makes required use less depressing.

Dave (in MA),

As far as I am concerned, it is a mnufactured controversy and probably planned ahead.

1. Get contract with CPAC (not hard to do since there aren't that many design firms and all are probably left-leaning).

2. Incorporate obscure SS symbol linked to Nazis in the design. (I had to go look it up to even see what everyone was complaining about.)

3. Wait until President Trump spoke and then go on line and clutch pearls and shudder at the "Nazi" gathering.

4. (Prediction regarding President Trump's speech video.) "Due to offensive imagery this video has been removed."

Yikes!
I told my wife to buy Michaels stock last year when she described he lines then I saw some numbers lowing and suggested she take profits - she made triple digit return but with today's $22.00 takeover news left a fortune on the table.

This was a $1.50 stock a year ago.
============================================
I should have been paying attention myself and bought some to hold for a while.

My theory is that all of the stores like Target have meh, colorless Ikea-style furniture in black, white and gray. TV is terrible as well.

Lots of people want to DO something, work with their hands, and get some color, as well as finding something for kids to do while they are stuck at home.

Brings a whole new dementia to flat-Earth

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Pin's point is that in Genesis God states he will never flood the earth again, a passage one would think the Vicar of Rome might have stumbled upon at some point.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

From RSE's link;
Today, high school Latin classrooms are overwhelmingly white, even in schools that are otherwise diverse. One of the few sources of data about high school classics, the College Board, reveals that only 3.62% of AP Latin Exam test-takers in the last decade were Black. It’s unclear whether this lack of diversity explains how the field has maintained racist ideas and practices for so long or whether the hostile spaces created by racist policies and practices explain the overwhelming whiteness of the field.

And there is the learned scholarship and critical thinking of critical race theorists. Those are the only two possibilities.
It couldn't be that there are very few Latin courses in the war zones known as urban public schools [which serve as excellent examples of the triumph of socliaism]. Schools in which most can barely read English.
It couldn't be because of the pathologies of urban black culture.
It couldn't be because prog CRT numbnuts keep telling blacks Western Civ is a racist construct.
It couldn't be because black IQ lags white, which lags Asian, which lags Jewish.
Regardless of the causes of those lags they exist and despite all the hand wringing and hand waving and race baiting one might engage in they endure.

TC, it's 50/50 on reacting to the second jab, pretty much--across age groups, genders-- in our department, and my husband's as well.
Everyone who was symptomatic had a decent response to Motrin, as far as getting rid of rigors so they could sleep (so they could work the next day). It is NOT recommended to pregame with the Motrin--it might decrease the immune response.

We pretty much moved to getting the second shot on Friday afternoons, so we'd have the weekend to recover.
