    Barely felt the upgraded microchip go in!

    Up to 6G are we?

    They say it's Huawei technology no less.

    I'm hoping for something designed by Wang Global.

    CHICAGO (CBS) — Much has been reported about Chicago’s murder problem.

    Justin Fields Named Bears Starting Quarterback Going Forward
    While the raw numbers are staggering, the city is nowhere near deadliest city in the U.S., which is New Orleans.

    In 2012, Zara Matheson of the Martin Prosperity Institute took the comparisons a step further, comparing U.S. city firearm murder rates with other nations.

    Chicago would be comparable to Guyana.

    New Orleans, if it were a country, would be the second-deadliest nation on the planet.

    Seen on a blog: "When Haitan migrants claim they live in danger in Chile, why should they be allowed in when Chicago is more dangerous?"

    In Australia they refer to the Virgin Mary (the drink!) as a Bloody Shame 🙂

    I remember when I thought she was physically attractive. That was the first couple times I saw her. The magic of human perception has done its work and now I can't stand the sight of her.

    Wish we could find one "in network" for Mrs. Mark.

    Want me to ask for a referral from Mrs. George's doc?

    PM (or email) if you want!

    We have some of this going on in our district. A good friend just resigned from the school board over threats to his business. It is hardly a threat to our democracy, but is a reflection of the divide.

    We have a very contentious election for the board this year, with the ultra-conservative faction demanding school employees sign ridiculous statements. Not the Taliban, but not very American either. No one is teaching CRT in our district.

    @lufins-dad said in Pfizer vs Moderna:

    of course, one wonders why they didn’t know this back in March… June at the latest.

    Delta did not become a thing until much later. Those efficacy statistics are influenced by Delta.

    The drop in the antibody levels is the primary problem, otherwise the booster would be irrelevant. They had to have known in their trials that the antibody levels would drop precipitously after 6 months.

    interesting. I would have thought SSD would be much better. I do not use cloud yet. Back everything up to a hard drive.

    It is interesting. Honestly, in Taiwan, the "perception " of President Biden is very favorable. He has been very favorable to Taiwan and "against" mainland China. Weapons sales, high level government visits, etc. So far, so good.
