Hasn't been a U.S. combat death in Afghanistan in what...about 18 months? Oh, and the Korean War is not over, so make that 100% back to 1950.

@jolly said in Brought to you by the maker of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve: @lufins-dad said in Brought to you by the maker of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve: This is disheartening. In Michigan, 28% of their hospitalizations and 15% of their deaths are fully vaccinated. https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2021/08/more-than-20-of-recent-covid-cases-hospitalizations-have-been-among-michigans-fully-vaccinated.html?outputType=amp @Jolly what are you seeing in LA? Talked with a couple of docs this morning...Depending on the hospital, somewhere around 8-10% of hospitalizations are vaccinated. Ain't any beds left, though... That’s a little more reassuring, though. I wonder what’s the cause of the anomaly in Michigan? 10% of hospitalizations seems to be pretty locked in as the standard…

It’s good that he lost his COVID Emmy for being a boar and not for killing a whole bunch of seniors with COVID…

@horace said in Retired Navy SEAL’s post about Afghanistan, imagining he was president: Two white males engaging in conflict is an affront to the lived experiences of people like me who have to deal with REAL challenges due to being intersectional minorities. What, you're a very tall Cheesehead?

These are wonderful. Sent to kiddo. This is perfect for our whole family.

@renauda said in Steinway pianos are appreciating assets!: @lufins-dad I just saw it as recouping some of the rent I had paid out for the instrument over fourteen years. The return on investment from a piano isn’t monetary, though it is nice that you can get a decent amount back when you sell it… But this Steinway thing is a different issue. They were sued over this ten years ago.
