    Oh, man... we just took a jar of sauce over to a friend and just that few minutes out of the house cleared our sense of smell out. We walked back in and the sauce smell just hit. Oh yum.

    At least one of the vaccines will get a bad reputation.

    If I was selling vaccine it would be OK with me if the other vaccines had a bad reputation.

    Russian gangsters will sell sugar water labelled as vaccine.

    No longer necessary or economically feasible. We will be able ship to tide water without the Western Canada Select discount on product to the US once we have completed Line 2 of the Trans Mountain pipeline to Vancouver. The days of giving away our upgraded oil are over.

    Besides, the useless conservative provincial government here in Alberta dumped $1.5 billion into KXL last spring to appease their friends and benefactors in the heavy oil industry.

    I believe science tells us that the fittest will survive.

    Why does the government hate science?

    Just let people fight it out. Money, privilege and fitness will survive.

    Things will settle down nicely with the right people protected from the virus.

    I just saw yesterday that the average age of deaths in the UK is 82.4 years even with all the new surges. There are a number of contributory factors at that age.

    When a glass of water tips over which drop of water did it? But in many cases of Covid it wasn’t even the last drop or a contributory drop.

    That type of life is hard work. I bet those farmers were eating 4000+ calories per day.

    If you've read "Undaunted Courage" about the Lewis and Clark expedition, that's not surprising. Those guys were apparently up to 5K calories per day.

    The fact that someone chose to leak this through Veritas doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.

    They know when it’s a new device why not just put a policy in place where the tweet doesn’t go through until one acts on the email?

    Who would object to that? I mean how often does one use a brand new device to get on an app???

    It’s the one reason I would believe for high profile individuals that if they deny the attack was via hacked password it might be true.

    @jon-nyc Yep. Just thought it was interesting FedEx would claim they're unrelated.

    They're probably concerned if they're too upfront with that, people will do more of their last minute shopping (gasp!) in person.

    I'm sure you're both feeling horrible pain over this. Thank you for the depth of your compassion for those 3400 people.

    Are you alright, Horace?
