    @mik said in High Risk:

    I know one person who had the monoclonal antibodies and I've had experience with infusion centers. I think it is fine for those at high risk, but it is not a panacea due to both supply and process.

    Then ramp up production and remake the process.

    No, it's never going to be as easy as giving a shot. OTOH, training is very minimal for people who are familiar with starting IV's or performing phlebotomies. And there are a lot of people out there with that skill level.

    I am too, Brenda. Cheesecake should be plain. If done well you don't need anything more.

    He also used it after being discharged, just to "stay awake." Mrs. George remembers those conversations.

    I just asked her. He continued up until the time we married, in 1977.

    Backup to cloud and don’t sweat the MTBF.

    Not an option for most private people if you have a lot of data to back up (say, a few TB of rare pr0n videos).

    She really needs to drop another series of Potterverse novels, maybe featuring Harry's son or daughter.

    How fun would it be, to make the people who criticize her, have to buy her books for their children?😄

    Regardless of your political leanings, this comment transcends all:

    Wise words for the 'old reality', however nowadays I quite like Zoom meetings. You can stare at people's knockers the whole freaking time and nobody can tell.

    The whole freaking time!

    Try doing that in a normal meeting.

    Jeffrey Toobin agrees.

    Welcome! Your room awaits you. Have you taken your meds yet, or should your nurse administer them to you? If you need to have your pills put into a daily dose container, that can be added to your care routine for an extra fee.

    @taiwan_girl said in When Texas’ New Anti-Abortion Law Inspired California …:

    In my nave opinion, maybe the second amendment does not cover this. Yes, the amendment protects the right to have a gun, but does not protect the right to use it foolishly.

    Yes, murder is against the law

    Some democrats don't want to enforce the law

    But in general, murder is not allowed

    And neither are just about any gun related violent crimes you can imagine

    Dude, you don't need to freaking kill people to use a gun foolishly. I had a business dinner with a load of Texans - they all got completely shit-faced drunk on appalling beer and invited us back to their enormous house where they discharged multiple firearms at 1 o'clock in the morning, killing cans and bottles galore.

    Now, I'm not a professional psychologist, but I would contend that they were fucking idiots. Constitutionally protected, of course. Abe Lincoln or that Washington guy would have been proud of them.
