For what it's worth, some of us injuns are little pussified whiners just like some white people. The injuns with functioning brains don't have a problem with it.

If this is real, how do the heads come to be? "Hey, since you're gonna be dead soon, can you pose for your head urn now before it's, y'know, too late?" Or does the sculptor visit the morgue and pester the coroner: "Just a half hour; let me get a few sketches, 'k?"

Bahahahaaaaa

@jolly said in 99.2% of recent Covid deaths are unvaccinated people: It is what it is. I don't think there are enough folks out there who have not had the disease or are not vaccinated, that they would swamp the system. I also think as time goes on, you'll see a higher vaccination rate, as people come to grips with the vaccine side-effects. Which is also okay and very similar to how people approach the flu vaccine. Which is also okay, since I think in the next 18-24 months we're going to have more variants than you can shake a stick at, and the initial vaccine may or may not be effective. I’ve given quite a bit of thought to freedom and liberty and in some respects the public health and financial crisis has passed so maybe the imperative is not there to force the issue and give people the opportunity to make an “informed decision”. I still think from a public health point of view it’s important we continue to be vigilant such that the only person accountable for A Covid hospitalization or death is the individual choosing not to take the vaccine.

A little piano related history… Some of the best accounts of the riots came from William Steinway, who was present when the riots began. He and his brother Charles singlehanded held off a group of rioters at the factory for several hours, then paid off the leader of the mob. Later, there brother Albert arrived as one of the commanders of the National Guard which was sent in to quell the riots. They housed the troops in the Steinway factory and William documented everything…

I have received myriad similar emails.

There was a shortage of truckers before COVID ever hit. It's much worse now.

Don't know. After all, it is apparently roast Host on toast season around here as of late.

I would not have guessed that that is the most economical way to do that.

Boy, we're lucky to have Klaus, the Wunderkind of TNCR if not the Western world. His 'wild guess' looks to be right on the money. But look here: You can go to this site and it will presto like magic test your IPv6 connectivity. DO THIS if you want to prepare against being hurled without warning into the outer darkness like I was. Carp, my dumb ass is showing again. If I list the addy for you to go to, I don't know if my IP number will show up in your box, or yours. I assume yours, because why would mine show to you? But the Internet is nefarious and evil. So Google 'Test your IPv6' and get to it that way, please.

Interesting theoretical question but he won’t be recalled anyway.

@george-k said in Polish: @mik said in Polish: Tomato and unnaturally green relish. Oh, and pickle. Never cared for that relish. But, yeah, a tomato would be nice. This is from John Kass's twitter feed - because, Chicago. I like it. I just never quite trusted it.

Centurions would kick their asses. OK, how about we get a ton of sports people, and put them in this big arena, and they're allowed one weapon, but some of the weapons are booby-trapped and blow up unexpectedly, and then they have to run around in the woods, and there's genetically engineered wasps and shit, and then a couple of them would get amorous, which quite frankly is likely to be a bit disgusting with NFL and soccer players, and eventually one would make it all the way through and she'd shoot Donald Trump with a crossbow right in the middle of his SOTU address of his second term? That would be fucking great!
