I have three that I use quite a bit. Finds the nearest gas station and sends its address to Waze, then starts navigation. Checks the current weather in my location: it spits out the temperature, windchill/heat index, UV index, probability of precipitation in the next hour. Opens up a list of articles from about 8 or so RSS feeds that I set up for news websites. It gives me a list of all the articles published in the past 48 hours from those sources. If I tap on an article, it "opens" the article in reader view (but I don't see this) and then sends that version to my eReader. Articles are there and already downloaded by the time I get around to reading them.

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/100-fully-vaccinated-people-contract-covid-19-washington/story?id=76784838 Of 1.2 million fully vaccinated people in Washington state, 100 have gotten COVID-19 Out of the 1.2 million people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in Washington, epidemiologists have reported evidence of 102 breakthrough cases in 18 counties since Feb. 1, representing less than 0.01% of all fully vaccinated individuals in the northwestern U.S. state. Most cases were patients who experienced only mild symptoms, if any, according to a press release from the Washington State Department of Health. "Finding evidence of vaccine breakthrough cases reminds us that, even if you have been vaccinated, you still need to wear a mask, practice socially distancing, and wash your hands to prevent spreading COVID-19 to others who have not been vaccinated," Dr. Umair Shah, Washington state's secretary of health, said in a statement Tuesday. 0.01% What does that number have to be in order to leave pandemic territory?

Ian Hislop, the British satirist, broadcaster and editor of the magazine Private Eye, can be brutal in his takedowns of politicians, but he goes after any of them who he feels deserve it, regardless of party. And he does it without frothing at the mouth, even when the points he makes can be deadly serious.

@horace said in Tendulkar in hospital with Covid.: @doctor-phibes said in Tendulkar in hospital with Covid.: Here's a fun game to play: Chess. Try playing it without any education against somebody who has studied it, and see what happens. It's very easy to underestimate the importance of education regarding topics that we don't know very much about. Chess is far more amenable to study by laymen than COVID virology. I take your original point, however the actual cure for Covid, rather than a load of opinionated bullshit about wearing masks, is very unlikely to come from some guy on Facebook.

I honestly can't tell whether this piece is satirical or not

Didn't know he was a good baseball player, too. Probably a pitcher? Just kidding. Definitely a catcher.

Interesting. I wonder what kind of closures they are using? Certainly cork is not a great alternative. But you sure would not open up an oxidized wine.

Golly...who could have predicted fake cards? Oh, wait.....

@jon-nyc said in Pfizer still effective 6 months after: perfectly happy to get an annual booster. A totally minor inconvenience.

Had my first shot of Moderna on Monday. Mrs Mark and youngest daughter got theirs on Wednesday. I had a sore arm for a day or so. Mrs. Mark seems to not have had the sore arm right away but it got sore and her stomach has been upset today and she is not feeling too good. Youngest seems to be fine aside from the sore arm.

@george-k worst. update. evah.

@klaus said in Fantaisie-Impromptu: It's just a MIDI file rendering, no? I suppose. What struck me is that "she" showed up on my Spotify "Made for You!" list.
